A case of lynching occured a few days ago in Panolo, IVJiasiseippi. A laborer, in the employmént of a clergymen in Holmes county, etole from his employer a negro man, two or three horses and his two daughters, one about twelve and the other ten years of age. He was caught near Helena, on his way to Arknnsas or Texas where he and the negro intended to make wivesjof their Hule captives. By terrible threats they had prevented theyoung girls from giving any alafms. The rest of the tale is thus to]d by the Memphis Inquirer: After the two fiends were taken, they wcre handcuffed and brought back to Panola. The citizens hearing the circumstance6, and feuriog that they might in some way escape the punishment due their crimes, orgamzed themselves into an extra judicial tribunal, and appoinfed u jury of % men, who sentenced thern to be severely cow-bided, the sententeto be executed one upon the other. Thia wa6{accordingly done, the negro received tl)irty-five aud the white man twenly-five lashes, well laid on with a cow-hide. The sentance was for each to receive fifty lashes, but they. were ao gashed with the number above stated that the popular mercy remitted the balance. They were then handed over to their guard, to be laken back to Holmes.JYeiü York Directory ƒ or 1344.- The ne' City Direciory for ic44'45 is just publishe by John Dog-getí. jr.

Couutryman, an excellent Liberty paper, thinks that ubiquitous wonder, 'the best joke of the season,' is to be found in a speech of the Hon. Millard Fillmore, at Warsaw: "In one part he spoke with a manly indignation agaiñst the. arrogant monopoly by slaveholders of nearly all the offices and government patronage in the nation; and made rcally a good Liberty speech until he carne to the point where consistency vvould have exhibited herself - making the application, defining his own, and designating the party's course, which was to vote for Clay - and here he madehimself i'idiculous, by calling upon the people to elect to this same line of Presidencies anolher slaveholder, sworn to stand by that vile institution through lifë, and even under the tortures of the inquisition. O, wisdom of Solomon! But perhaps Mr. Fillmore believes in the Spanish tha;t 'the hair of the same dog will cure his bite,' and h"e would administer h& prescriptioris iTport the homeopathie sysfem, that, .flike cures like.' and proposes to' make amends to the North by giving the South the presidency, with all its' official perquisites, for another four years.'rFrom tfc Protestant and Banncr, of' Louisvillc KcKtuctaj? 1839.
