that the work will form contribution of
extraordinary value to the history of the

Capitol, on the night of January 5, 1861,
and formed an organization, which
took control Of all political and military
operations in the South, dictated the plan
of seizing forts, arsenals, and custom~
houses, and did the whole work of revo-
luton, while they were every day in their
accustomed seats in the Senate at Washs

tive Committee of three, one of whom
was Jefferson Davis, through which they
carried out the schemes they had planned.

Have you called and paid your respects
to that most superb Ice cream Soda FOunt
at j. G. Wharton & Co.'S Drug Store, on
Union street? Ifyou have not, don't de-
lay day longer. In addition TO the en-
est Fount in the city they have most
useful and ornamental attachment, known
as Wharton's Tumbler Washer, which is
native invention, snd far ahead Of any
thing for the purpose. Its Usefulness con-
sistS in cleansing the glasses by number
of small streams thrown into the tumblers
from set of tubes attached to fountain.
Its attraetiveness is seen in series of
sarer dashers, which are sent spinning and
sparkling with each glass, while a num-
Der Of fine water-jets are shot up into the
air TO return in showery spray upon the
outside. The whole Of it presents a cool
aud refreshing appearance, and is enrich.
ed by bed of moss in rustic incl6sure,
which adds to it new charm. No person
seeing it can fail TO admire its beauty and
acknowledge its utility. No establish
ment for soda is at all complete without
the Tumbler Washer attachment.

A HORsE-THIEF's END.
Escaped, Captured, stolen Away,
Lynched.

1 EScHPeus thBtuEeO3 btOhch away
Lynched.
We learn, from Billy Jones, Of tn,
Ohio Railroad, that one of those scene:
Of rough, wild justice, that will, at times
break out when public Indignation is tan
talized beyond the bounds of fOrbearance
occurred near Huntingdon, Tennessee
Monday night. Sometime ago, when the
lawless spirit engendered by the war was
taken advantage of by bandits to carry
on their vicious projects and depreda-
tons, q man namd Ben. Campbell be-
came famous, or, rather, infamous, in the
| northwestern part of this State, as a
horse-thief and general yiolator Of the
laws, and marauder upon property.
He was the leader of q band Of men
moulded after his own vicious stamp, and
their principal pursuit was stealing and
running off horses. a..,
About a year ago the numerous Vic-
Tins Of this gang Of scoundrels made
active efforts to deliver themselves from
the scourge that kept them in continued
alarm for their property, and Ben Camp
bell was captured and put in Jail at
Hickman, Kentucky, that the law might
deal justice out to him for his many
crimes. The capture was not effected
without violence, and Campbell received
shot in the leg, the effect of which was
necessity Of amputating the limb, to
which he had to submit. By bribery,
probably, but at all events in some way,
Ben, lame as he was, contrived to get
outside of the jail, when he ought to have
been kept in, and swapping his fingers at
the law and its feeble meshes, entangled
by suffering and cell, he resumed his
evil ways and again led on his band to
plumber. A few days ago he stole fine
and valuable horse in the neighborhood
Of Huntingdon, Tennessee. This theft
was too serious and too glaring to pass
without an especial effort to arrest the
lawless depredstor who had so long laid
the whole district under levy at his will,
like another Rob Roy of the Highlands.
A writ was procured, and posse of
determined men went in pursuit of
Campbell. They had good information,
and on Monday succeeded in taking him
at Trezevant. They conveyed him to
Huntingdon for trial, and clear proof was
furnished that he was the man who stole
the horse above mentioned. He was put
under guard until he could be conducted
to prison sufficiently secure to hold so
desperate and SO cunning villain. In
the course of the night twelve men who
were not recognized, rode to the spot
where he was detained, and took him
away from the custody ofthe guard. Yes
terday morning his dead body was found
near Huntington, lying on the ground,
riddled with bullets. 1t is evident that
some Of those who were mortified at
his previous escape had come to the cons
clusion to take justice in their own hands,
and not rely ON the insecurity of jails or
the integrity of jailers, or on the uncer-
tainty of the law. Thus another deed
of darkness was added to the executions
