We have Just heard Of an affair in Rusk county
that forms q climax of horrors. The oircum-
stances az detailed to us are as follows:
A young man by the name Of Col. Green, who

miles from town. on the Marshall road, ne stopped
at the Widow Griffin place, where body of
negroes were making crop, and ordered his sup
per. While eating it be was seized by five ne
Rroes, who tied his hands behind him, dragged
him about half mile end hung him. They
treated him very brutally, throwing him over the
fences as they reached them, bruisiDg his face
ana otherwise maltreeting him. While he was
hanging they rolled back q log, Ding a trench,
threw him in il before life was extinct, and then
rolled the log back TO its former place. Two of
the negroes were preachers. The principal one
engaged in the murder, Julius Jones, stood by
with gun, directing the others, and telling them
he would kill the first one that finched. The
same negro went the next daY to Henderson,
preached a sermon and baptized fourteen negroes.
Green is represented as refined, Intelligent,
accomplished gentleman, but who occasionally,
unfortunately got intoxicated. His friends miss.

A BANQUET TO CHARLES DIcKESs.-At ban
quet to Charles Dickens that occurred at 81
Georges Hall, Liverpool, on the evening of the
10th, about 200 gentlemen sat down. and there
we're besides many spectators. The hall wss
gracefully decorated with flags and banners
The proceedings were characterized throughout
with good feeling and enthusiasm. Sir Henry
leighton and Hepword Dixon. Esq, presided
Al ter the usual toasts Lord Daferin made pl cas-
ant speech. BE regretted that Mr.. Dickens had
not entered the field of politics. BE would have
been q power in the House of Commons aud a
fellow peer of Mscaulay. Lord Lytton, at length,
in glowing terms, proposed the health Of Mr..
Dicsens. Mr. Dickens rose. and with much emo
ton responded; be felt, he said, that he was un-
able to do justice to his feelings. Liverpool. after
London, was always foremost in his estimation;
che was always ready TO respond open handed,
spontaneously and munifcentiy to ali appeals to
art and literature. Relative to the remarks Of
Lord Daferin, Mr.. Dickens said, after mature de-
liberation be had decided to stand and fall by
literature, and not enter politics. Thus far be had
not regretted his decision. Anthony TrOllope
also responded TO o sentiment. He eulogized
Washington Irving, Mr.. Motley and the American
people. The latter were always willing to recog-
nize publicly the honor due TO literary men. he
closed by limiting that the appointment OF Charles
Dickens as minister 10 Washington would be bene-
fetal 10 both countries.
