TFrom the Memphis Appeal, August ILL

[From the Memphis Appeal, August ILL.,
We have several times recently alluded to the
capture Of Charles Back the murderer of the
Goode family on Favorite Island few months
ago, and one day last week we announced the fact
that he had passed through the city in charge Of
the Sheriff OF Tunica county, en- route to the scene
of his crimes He was carried down the river on
the steamer General Anderson, and lodged In jail
at Austin where it was intended to keep him until
bis trial, which was to have been held at the next
Criminal Assizes in Tunica county. The county,
however, has been spared the heavy expense of
keeping him so long aud of his trial by the regu.
lar course Of the law. Judge Lynch convened his
court day before yesterday morning, little be-

the affair that we have been able to CLEAN. The
story told us by passenger on her Is briefly as
Shortly before daylight on Wednesday
morning, say o'clock, q squad Of men
presented nna snemsevs, ia, at the jail at Aus
admit them, stating that they had some horse
thieves, caught in the neghborhood of Peyton
(some few miles below Austin), whom they
wished to deliver to him. The jailcr, thus in.
formed, opened the door and was instantly seized
and pinoned by men in black masks and dom
noes. The bunch Of keys was quietly taken
possession of by two men, who went to the cell
where Back ok was confined, opened the door and
passed---the unhappy man recognized in the
hideously disguised strangers the avengers of
blood and trembingy obeyed their mandate
He was bound on leaving his cell and quickly
carried to the river, where he was put in skif,
which, along with half dozen more, was moored
in waiting near by. Tho balance of the party,
numbering In all some twenty-five thirty, got In
the other skiFs, and tho whole hotilla rowed
swiftly and silently over to Favorite Island, The
prisoner was taken out, on reaching the island,
and carried to tree which shelters the grave of
one of his victims-old Mrs. Goode--where he was
hung. Our informant states that he was told that
the unhappy man made a full confession. This
must be mere conjecture, however, as 1t IL not
likely that any OF those who heard his confession,
" he made one, would be apt to tell about 1t.

An Old Burglar the Murderer.

fFrom the Rochester Union. August l5.]
In the year 1859 the dry goods store of Hubbard
& Northrop, Main street. was visited by a burglar,
who stole therefrom large quantity Of silks and
cloths Subsequently the goods were found in q
house in South ST. Paul street, where they had
been boxed ready for shipping by the thief who
was known at one time In custody, but who gave
the police the slip and made his way to Detroit,
where he robbed q store, was arrested, convicted
and sent to State Prison, to escape shortly after
wards. lie next turned up in New Jersey, where
he was convicted Of burglary and sent to State
Prison, to make his escape once more. At Hart.
ford, Conn, he committed burglary and was
sent to State Prison for the crime. The telegraph
this morning brings him to recollection as the
murderer Of the warden of the prison Saturday
last. He is in prison there under the name Of
James Wilson. Here he was known as David
KeDtly. Messrs. Hubbard 4 Northrop, who have
kept watch Of the rascal ever since his escape
from here, have knowledge that James Wilson is
David Kently. Kently while here pretended to
be q sort of produce buyer, and at one time was
arrested by policeman Mclean for having in his
possession a number of fowls which had been
stolen. lie was a shrewd sharp fellow, Of good

Stunning a more threatening attitude in
consequence of the French emissaries
which swarm in Poland, and the agi-
tation they are begetting there. More
over, it is certain that Russia will
never consent to see France mistress of
the left bank of the Rhine. Russia
waits for the beam of wars scale to
incline to the sideOf France before in
dicating her intentions. Then, if
France be victorious, and Germany
discouraged, Russia will enter the
field. Austria seems every day more
inclined to remain quiet. She will
disappear from the map of Europe if
she joins France, which, moreover, re-
cent publications make very unlikely.
France has had enough of Rome and
the Pope, and the war furnishes us
with a decent eXcuse for ending a sit

Austria has announced to the Pope
the concOrdat between the two pow

Papal infallibility; and that Cardinal
Rauscher has been notified q large
