side. Taylor sprung to his feet, and struck at me with the club: I dodged the blow, but caught the weapon, and w rested it out of his hand and struck bim on the back of the head, a back-handed stroke: the club broke; he staggered, and 1 repeated the blow two or three times with the part that remained in my hand before he fell. After he fell. I took the moDey and the clothes, and
went off with them; 1 threw down trie hat and pantaloons where I suppose they
were touno, aeiermining w t.-fa more to do with them. I went on as far as 'Moore's Lane,' as was proven in court, but felt uneasy about Taylor, fearing he was mortally wounded for at the time I struck bim I had no intention to
kill him; I therefore returned to ascertain the fact, in hopes there might be a possibility of reviving him. On my return I found him dying; I took out his coat and put it under his head, and laid him out as he was found.—Language is incapable of giving any adequate idea of
strange contrast the operations under the criminal law here and in Kentucky. Desha, as was and is still believed, murdered his friend in the most inhuman manner, and for no other cause, as far as ascertained, than to possess himself of his money. For this he suffered a nom. inal imprisonment of some months, and then was set at liberty through executive clemency. Wickliffe, emboldened by this example, attacks a neighbor in his house, and shoots him down. He is apprehend-
ed—the grand jury find him guilty of manslaughter; and on trial he is acquitted of this charge. In both these cases, the persons charged with crime, are the sons of rich and popular men—and to this,
and this only, may be attributed their es-
cape from well merited punishment. In the case before us, the culprit is attack-
ed by a fellow worker in iniquity, and in
the end murder is committed. Lamb, it

POCKET BOOK, containing sotafi notes of band, a pea knife, peDcil, and
a small amount in money, was found ia mo vicinity of this place, this morning, which the owntx can bare by calling at tbis . office, and describing.
It is supposed the property belongs to a stranger who called at the Tannery of Messrs. John and Durbin, on yesterday
evening. Hs procured of the boys at the
yard some wadding to load a pistol, and
offered them some money ; on their refo siug to receive it, he manifested great anger. He said he was in danger of his life, and would give 700 for a horse that was stauding in the yard. He rode effin great haste, telling the boys to recollect his came was Cai twirght.

Accident. On Sunday night last a flat boat laden with salt -truck a snag, just
appears, did not coax his friend into the
woods and then fall upon and murder him for money; he first drank with him, then played cards with him, and lastly, in a quarrel, killed him. The palliative circumstances, if any, in the three cases, are certainly in favor of Lamb; yet, Desha goes clear, Wickliffe is acquitted,
above this place, stove in a plank, and
partly filled with water before she could
be brought to shore. The hands comriienced immediately to unship the salt, most of which was id the water, and succeeded in saving about 80 barrelr, out. of 300. Loss about 500 dollars. The salt belonged to the Kenhawa company, who was sending it to Louisville.

amoDi the sons of the forest, smd abide
their justice, than be tantalized with privileges and rights which eveiy day may be trampled upon with impunity. In the one case, man is the judge and avenger
of his wrongs; in the other, he is injured, applies to law for remedy, and is denied. But to the extract ;
"My situation, however, was one cal
culated to afford every opportunity of indulging in vice; drinking and gambling were the most prevalent, in both oi which I indulged freely; I now approach that part of my story most interesting to my readers, namely, the incidents connected with the murder of Thomas Taylor. When 1 crossed the Ohio river on thti 1 2th day of November, I fell in company with a stranger ; I never had seen the man before, and did not inquire his name. We proceeded together as far
as New Albany, and called at the gro
cery of Mr. Samuel Wilson; I called for
some whibkeyand paid lor it, and also paid Mr. W. 25 cents which 1 owed him; we then went on our way together; after we had proceeded some distance the stranger asked me if I would drink something: I answered in the affirma-
live; he then drew from his knapsack a bottle full of whiskey, out of which we drauk freely. The stranger, who it since appears, was Thomas Taylor, complained of feeling heavy and sleepy . 1 told him it was not very far to my house, and if he would go home with me, he might stay all night free from expense.
At or near the place where Taylor was
found, we met a man somewhat intoxicated; wo asked him to drink with us;
there were some remarks made relative to playing cards, which induced us all
to leave the road tor the purpose olj
playing. Taylor had fifty cents in money, (and but fifty cents.) I gave him four 12 1-2 cent pieces in change for it; and the other had barely t welve and a half cents. We played what is com-
my feelings. If 1 had owned millions,
I would have freely given all to nave saved this unfortunate victim of folly. I was stupifit.d with horror; I bated myself, and knew not what to do; I was aroused by hearing the stage approach, and hastily left him. I went to Shirley's tavern and stayed all night; next morning went back to Shippingport, passed the fatal spot without looking towards it. I remained in Shippingport until the Saturday following when I came over to New Albany considerably in liquor. I was arrested, and in conse-
... .i
quence of being unable irom intoxica
tion to give direct answers to the ques
tions proposed at my examination, I was committed for trial. What has occur
red since my commitment the reader is
already acquainted with. The sequel of this tragical affair now only remains
to be completed by carrying the sentence of the law into execution. My bosom is now relieved of a weight of pain. 1 have confessed candidly the
farts, ronnected with the murder of
Thomas Taylor, and am to suffer the penalty of the law: but let my unhappy fate be a solemn warning to others, to walk early in the path of virtue, thereby avoiding the temptations of vice. A few das more, and I shall have done
with all sublunary things, and pass Irom time to eternity before 1 have fully attained the meridian of life; hung up a spectacle for the gazing multitude, between heaven and earth, as unworthy of either, and my very name execrated. But ob, for the sake of humanity, bury the remembrance of my crimes with me; suffor them not to he reiterated in the
ear of my unfortunate, unoffending fumi
why they are not taken, that is, whether
the person is dead, has removed to some other place, or merely refused."
The Franklin Lrgacks.U is well known Dr. Franklin left by will, a fund of one thousand pounds to each of the cities of Philadelphia and Boston; to be loaned out in small sums at moderate interest, to young married mechanics, to enable them to commence business. A statement of the present condition of these funds has been lately published by their trustees, from which it appears that the Boston fund is in a much more
healthy condition than that of Philadeli m i i T"u:i

G00,99: but the trustees state in thenreport, that a very large proportion oi it is in hands, which it can never be reclaimed: aud may therefore be deemed 7 ...

perous condition. Its present amount is j $17,23404 and it is represented to be nearly if not quite all in good hands. (J. S. Gazette. It is estimated that there are in the U.
States, 430,000 Mechanic?, 9000 Lawyers, 12,000 Doctors, 7,000 (say 10,000) Ministers, and 3G,000 Schoolmasters. The consumption of ardent spirits in the United States is estimated to have diminished one third. The saving oi expense, in New England is believed to

Execution of Jacob Lamb. It will be recollected that some time since we noticed the trial of Jacob Lamb, for the murder of Thomas Taylor in the vicinity of New-Albany, Ind.; aud his sentence to execution on the 30th June,
past. The Republican Statesman, of July, contains an extract from the confession of the criminal, detailing the circumstances which lead to the perpetration of the crime for which he suffered on the scaffold. Its publication may be n warning to the youth of our country, to beware of tha demon which holds captive the senses, aDd urges: the body on to crime.

During this time, I suspected the stranger of attempting to shew Taylor
what cards were in my hand, and told him,4' 'he did not clear himself off from
there, lzcould sweep helVs blazes with him!
The 6tranger,attertaking aarinK oiwniskev then went off and left Taylor and my
self together. Taylor then took two rhipfK nut of his bundle and of
