additional in relation to the capture of the salt

hope that these important works were safe but
the source from which the report OF their capture
comes leaves us no room TO doubt IFS correct

They were occupied by the enemy Tues

Thursday, when the Yankees retrested towards
Bristol. We learn that the place was held by
200 reserves under Col Preston, most of whom
escaped capture
The works are reported 10 be but little dam

tied them since the occupation by the enemy
that they can be put in working order again by

A large quantity of salt has already been
taken out, which was destroyed. and all build

A Terrible Scene.

A man named McCOmb was under sem
tence of death in Ottumwa county, Iowa,
for the murder of a girl named Laura Har-
vey, and the day of execution fixed. The
condemned, however, got an appeal to the
Supreme Court, but on the day he was to
have been hanged, some two thousand peo-
pie gathered at the Jail, and ayowed de-
termination to hang the prisoner. A wo-
man mounted the fence and made an excl
ting harangue urging on the mob; and say
ing if they would leave 1t to the women they
would attend to it themselves. A vote was
taken, which was decided to be in favor of
the hanging. A rush was now made for
the Jail, which was forced, and the prisoner
brought out. He asked for an hour, which
was given him, to prepare for death. A
clergyman was sought, and he was
finally taken into the Catholic Church
and baptized. After this he was placed
in wagon and started for execution
The rope was fixed and they were about
to throw it over the limb Of tree,
the prisoner himself assisting. Before this
was done, McComb requested permission
to make few remarks. He said: ~ have
the rope around my neck, as you see, and
have but few minutes to live, but am an
innocent man. If you will give me until
next court, will prove that George Law
renee is living, and that did not murder
Laura Harvey" AT this point cry was
raised all through the crowd, stake him
back" "take him back" accompanied by
the cry, "hang him." ''hang him." The
leaders fearing that the tide was turning,
said that it was getting late, and they could
wait no longer. An attempt was made to
throw the rope over the limb, but several
resolute men jumped into the wagon and
seized the rope. A short struggle for the
possession of the rope followed, when the
town, aud lodged safely in his old quarters
again. ....

Massachusetts in her Legitimate
-a Business.

Massachusetts, has gone into her legiti-
mate business-negro trading. Her ships
brought nearly all the negro slaves from
Africa to this country. She was the great
foreign African slave trader. When the
Federal Constitution was adopted, in 1857,
Virginia desired the foreign slave trade to
be absolutely prohibited in it. Massachu-
sets and other New England States OBJ
jected. They declared it would be ruinous
to their commerce, then largely engaged in
the African slave trade. To please Massa-
chusetts, clause was put in the Constitu-
tion prohibiting Congress from prohibiting
the African slave trade for twenty years,
and after that leaving it discretionary
with Congress whether it should be per-
mitted or not. After Massachusetts, had
supplied the country with negroes from Af-
rica, she turned Abolitionist and wanted to
steal the negroes from the very men she
sold them to. Now, since the war has been
the result of the abolition movement, she
has returned to her first love of buying ne
groeS. @ .... ....
