*a- '-.rjjKr. 1 1 ■ "*** " -----•■ —^ A Cttmpbellite Miniater from Indiana Lynched In Xexas. r The Lafayette Journal gives the following detailed and well authenticated account J of the lynching of an Indiana preacher in '3*exas, for not preaching exactly to suit the slaveholders there: “We haye learned from a gentleman reaiding in the south part of this county, that Bolomon McKinney, well known in that sectioji as a Campbellite minister, has recently returned from Texas with a furlough and a pass written on his back. The gentleman referred to is well known about Newton and Pleasant Hill in Mountgomery County, and we have heard that an actual inspection of hi* back in both of these places left no doubt in the mindß of those who saw it that he had received a most unmerciful flagelation. ‘<We learn that Mr. McKinney with his wife, and an acquaintance also with his wife, went to Texes some time since on a visit to friends residng there. It is said that the roverend gentleman while in this country entertained serious doubts as to whether black men had any souls at all, and was considered decidedly pro+slavery in his notions. While in Texas he was invited to preach a sermon on the duties of master and slave, which he did. He was soon after waited upon by a company of men, with a request to leave the country at once; and one of the party, by way of enforcing attention to the order, shot at him, without, however, injuring bjm. He commenced making immediate arrangements to leave.

“That Bamg night, however, a company of men again called on him at midnight, and undepApretmce of carrying him and his friend beyond the reach of a mob; which was represented as on the way to hang them, got them away some distance from the house, t>ouud their hands and administered to them ten lashes apiece, making about eighty lashes apiece for each one of the prisoners. They were then released with positive orders to leave at once, which they did. Mr. McßSiirtiey’s friend is sa%l to be a man eighty years of age, and lie is probably fifty. These are the facts ns currently reported in the neighborhood of Newton, Sugar Grove and Pleasant Hill, whore the parties are well known, and givon to us by Mr. Aaron Insley, .•a well known, and highly respectable farmer of that neighborhood.”

A Huge Story.

The four brothers of the Ruble family were afl fn town last week, and were all weighed on one of Fairbank’s scales at Fisher & Winchester’s. The following is the report of the scalesman, which we can assure dur renders is perfectly accurate: Simou> aged 48 years 308J£ lbs. Gqprgit, aged 37 years, llenrv>aged 35years 281 *2 “ John, aged 32 years 30Co “ Aggregate weight of the Ruble br0’54,132 “ Their respective heights are 6 feet, 2'o inches. The Ruble family have the reputation of being (among the best farmers in this section. ‘They own the largest farm, raise the biggest cattle, bring to market the fattest bogs, snd raise more wheat to the acre than any other farmer in Wisconsin. —Beloit Journai, December 29. Rushville (Ind.) Jacksonian, edited by John L. Robinson, says of the Democratic State ticket recently nominated at In-dinjiapbli-s (nine candidates in all:) “Out of these nominees there is but on© that w 6 know of (Mr. Hord) who is an open j and avowed Douglas man. No tickht was ever made in the State with more good, solid, sound Democrats upon it. We shall sup--port them all, unless after the Charleston Convention they refuse to stand upon the platf6rm which will there be adopted, and ! support the nominees which will there be made. 'As we said in Convention, Douglasism, tntt.ide the party,will trouble us no more.” -i week a verdict for s>lo,ooo was rendered in a Philadelphia Court, in the case of O’Donnell vs. the Reading Railroad™ The plaintiff took a sent in the »ar, and tendered the conductor a $!3 bill in payment of his fare, which was pronounced counterfeit. He borrowed the amount of iris fare from a friend and paid it* but was, notwithstanding, ejected from thse car, and compelled to walk home some distance in a snow storm,keeping him from his business. (£7"The following question was addressed to a landlady by an eccentric genius. Stepping into the door, he'obaerved: “Will yon, ma’am, give me a drink of water for Ii am so hungry I don’t know where to stay to-night.” We dloubt whether more meaning could be embodied in so few words. OcirMr. Price, of St. Stephen, in Maine, was burned out of house twice in one night! He owned two houses, a short distance from each otHpr. The one ho lived in took fire about 6)o’clock, and his family had barflytime to escape to the other. About twelve o’clock tJhat also was found to bo on fire, nnd, as night was bitterly cold, was laid ffi aebep. Democratic Delegates, from Alabama to the Charleston Convention, have been instructed to withdraw from that body unless it resolves in favor of Congressional protection i© »lavcry in the Territories,
