EIGILANTEs.-A slight excitement has
beer manifest in some circles this week on
account of the appearance in town of man
known as g Dutch Lewie," who lives on the
Wala Wala, and who told a pititul story
about being taken from his bed at the hour
of midnight by 0igilantes and hanged by
the neck until he was nearly dead, dead,
dead all "because he didn't know some
thing they wanted him to tell them !" Up
on his affidavit, FIVE men were arrested and
had an examination before Esq. Horton on
Wednesday -Four of them were discharged,
and one was held to answer the charge of
" assault with intent to do bodily injury"
The question of course, has two sides,
and the charges brought against Lewie are
that he has been guilty of harboring thieves
and hiding, or appropriating horses and cat
tie that did not belong to him


ANTI I-VIGILANrEs. The "anti-vigilan-
tes" seem to have become quite as active
recently as the Vigilantes. One night this
week an individual who is in the habit of get
ting d. d. came into town, and under the
the electrifying influence ''forty roc" pro
claimed himself ''king, and talked yaiantly
of the doings of the vigiantes. A party of
the "antis" concluded to have him " tell
them something he didn't KNOW" and ac-
cordingly took him into room, tied hand
kerchief around his neck, suspended him
from the shoulders of one of the tallest of the
members and asked him who the vigiantes
wereY The question was repeated several
times and upon him as often exposing his
ignorance by telling them that he "did not
know" they concluded that, as a punish
ment for such an inexcusable lack of infor-
nation, they would place him in "durance
vile" for the night. Accordingly, they
locked him up in privy where they left
him TO doze off the influence of the " forty
roc" to repent of his vain boasting, and to
reflect upon the beauties of the IN ew CODE


CoURT.-It appears that the law, passed
at the last session of the legislature, chang
ing the time of holding the District Courts
was, by oversight, omitted from the journals
and is therefore null Hence the old law
is still in force. BY the old law the Court
should have convened here last Monday.
Judge Wyche, who is engaged in holding
the Court at Vancouver, has written to the
Sheriff and Clerk here to open and close the
Court in the usual form every day until his
arrival, in order to conform with the law.
This they have been doing. The Judge is
expected here next week, when the business.
of the term will be begun at once; but the
term will necessarily be short one, as the
time of holding it is limited to four weeks
and its commencement must date from last |

The RICHMOND ELEcrroS.-The number of
votes cast at the election in Richmond, on
Tuesday, was 2,446. Th2 significance Of the
election of a rebel officer for Mayor. is pref
ty clearly expressed by the Richmond Bule
nm, as follows


The election of yesterday simply means that
the people OF Virginia, so far at least as Rich
mond can be taken a representative Of that
people, turn not with the spirit Of the craven and
the renegade from opinions which their kith and
kin have died for.


II is, even among those who were recently the
armed foemen Of the State, subject which de-
serves respect and admiration. For the people
of the North could hold the people Of Virginia
in but slight respect did they behold them, on
such an occasion as that offered by the election
of Yesterday, fiwning and cringing to opinions
which they had hitherto opposed with their very
lives. Loyalty to government must and will as
suredly come, but it is not the work Of prestidig
ltation-it is born only Of the slow and mystic
rious process Of time.

In yesterdays edition we alluded to railroad

ant Railroads now temporarily located on some
of the principal streets in our city, and which

And cries when she stops like merciless elf.

He demands peoples watches to batter about
And meets a refusal with struggle and shout
Then failing to conquer, with passionate cry
He quivers his lips, keeps tear in his eye
And SO wins the battle, this wise little thing
He knows the world over that Baby is king

Liberia need more freedom, and nothing
but American freedom win make them
truly free; and the American colored man,
as now developing, can carry the necessary
germ and spirit there, and thus infuse new
soul into these regions. And the same may
be said of Africa herself So that there is
an immense field for the American colored
man if he would carry his knowledge and
the power he may have at future
day into those regions, where his kins
men are still in state of bondage or
comparative barbarism. Such a course
being adopted, gradually developed and
wisely conducted, would, in a few years,
bring incomprehensible good, alike to all
mankind, of any ordinary degree of civiliza-
ton upon the globe.


Make sody, then, for liberty. and let the
| colored man be encouraged by the power
| of arms, to come to the rescue of his kins-
men, by every fair means, upon every part
of the globe. Let the American col0red
man be encouraged to this end, for he will
carry with him the true force and spirit of
freedom, as called here in America; and the
colored race everywhere, with the aid of
the white man. will speedily come to see
| and realize the intrinsic relations and value
of higher and more refulgent light and
civilization, where now only fourishes and
is nourished the rank weeds of ignorance
and slavery, the fragrant and beautiful
flowers Of Light and Liberty would spring
up and bloom perpetually for the coIored
colored man, and for all.

numerically and mournfully weak, and
hence the madness Of engaging in a war
that only imperils our cause.

Know Nothing organization was formed. he
bitterly .hated the nullifers, and as bitterly
the Abolitionists. But the former rose in
arms against the country, and he concen-
trated upon them his fervent wrath. He de-
manded the downfall of slavery; and, az
Governor of Tennessee, did all he could to
consummate its destruction in that State
His position, as a Southern man, gave him
great power to do this. We believe him to
be man of entire selfCOntrol, despite re-
cent iutimations Of an opposite character
The American people will not have occasion
to depIOrc his want of selfCommand. That
he is disposed to treat with severity the
leaders of the rebellion, we do not doubt
Especially is he inclined to redress the
wrongs Of the Union men Of the South, and
to punish their OpprcsSOTs. The military
power Of the Confeaeracy having been scat
tered the South is at his mercy. There IS
no enemy to confront him there, no enemy
behind to excite his fears. Most cruelty is
the result Of coWardiCc. He is not q coward ;
and if he feels that all men of all parties are
