The Eitro-GIvcerine Alarm.

The Cincinnati Commercial thinks the
sale upon forged order, in New York,
aud disappearance from that city, Of one
hundred and sixty-6vs pounds of the tre-
mendous explosive compound, nitro-gly-
Ceriue, is very far from being joke, and
the communication made by the police to
Congress was worthy of the serious aGten-
ton given it. TIE quantity of nitro
glycerine that has been purchased aud
shipped for some criminal purpose, as is
clear, is sufficient to blow the National
Capitol aud all it contains to atoms; and
the race of assassins in this country is not
extinct, nor is the spirit of assassination
extiBguished. The Commercial says it is
possible the explosive agent was PuFohas-
ed for use abroad, but IL is the part Of
prudent men to look we'll to the basement
of the Capitol at Washington.

In The western portion of Williamson

side her a letter and with q graceful bow
and wave of the hand retired to Join his
comrades, two Of " HON the lady saw stand

lady discovered that it was directed to her

1t will be seen from the above that the
Kuklux are terrible fellows, and we have no
doubt that the Governor will at once send
out his militia to put an end to all such plo-

The Hand of Vengeance.

From the Nashville Dispatch.l
Rumors we're rife in the city sterday
of the tragic end of negro fiend, who
was taken from the Jail at Pulaski on the
night before, and shot by mob of citi-
zens. From all we can gather, it APP
pears that some time in April last a
negro, whose name we we're unable to OBJ
tain, went to the house of Mrs. Hook
shaw, a respectable widow lady, living
about four miles north of Elkton, IN
Giles county, and whose only son died q
gallant death on one of the blood stained
battle-felds of the South, doing service as
Confederate soldier. She was living
alone with beautiful daughter, young
girl Just budding into womanhood, aud
whose beauty thrilled the breast of the
incarnate demon with determination to
effect her ruin. One dark night, after
Mrs Hockshaw and her daughter had
retired, they were startled by frightful
noise, the barking Of the dogs and some
thing like the clambering of man up
the outside walls. In almost an instant
the negro was in the room, and with
threats of evidence in case of alarm,
or betrayal, he went to the bedside where
in lay the daughter, and was in the act
of concentrating his hellish purpose
when the mother sprang for an ak near
by and commenced vigorous on
slaught, driving him from the house and
saving the honor and virtue OF herself
and daughter. The demon, in his
thwarted rage, began pelting the house
with stones, but fortunately without in.
turing either of the ladies. Next day
she reported the occurrence to her
neighbors and steps were at once taken
to secure the internal scoundrel, and
after several days Of pursuit he was cap
tured and lodged in the Pulaski Jail
A partial examination in his case was
had in April last, aud no doubt as to his
guilt was evinced, ye, he sAs retained in
prison Tor further investigation at the
next session Of tie Criminal Court
There be remained until Monday night
last, between the hours of twelve ard
cue, when al unknown band Of thirty or
forty armed citizens on horseback en-
tered the town from an unknown quarter
and took foreible possession Of the Jail,
ordering the jsiler, with some rather
persuasive arguments, to deliver over
the keys Of the establishment. The negro
was then taken out, and carried about
three hundred yards from the Jail,
on Second Main street, Immediately in
ffoni Of Msi. Adams residence, where a
halt was made, aud at the word " IRE =
two score Of bulleis entered his body,
completely Kidding il, aud sending his
dArksnsd soul TO lis place of reckoning
The party then left torn via the Elkton
pike, and nothing had been heard Of
them ND to the time the evening train
passed there yesterday.
