FOR TI1K TIMES. Mr. Editor I?y the accounts received from different quarters, it appears th.it in almost all purls of the United States, mobs and riots are now the order of the d:iy. The principles of anarchy and disorder are rapidly gainingground and spreading their influence over our hilhet toorderly and peaceable country. Every paper we receive brings us some new ac count of the further progress of principles, which, but a shoittime ago, were co:. fined mostly to the more despotic governments of the old world. A distinguished foreigner, in giving an account of our customs some years since, has made the r ran k, that " what may he called a ntob can hardiv be said to exist in the United Slates."'

He should reflect that although in his hands, with proper molives, .and a correct judgment, to direct its exercise, this power may be hciieli-

cial ; yet in the hands of those who will ever be the most likely to wield it, and influenced as they may he by personal motives, it may lead to consequences the most dangerous to the liberties of his country. Although the object to be attained at this lime, is a good one, it is nevertheless highly improper to entrust such absolute power over the lives and property of any class of persons into the haiuls of irresponsible and self-appointed men, who, in the excitement of the moment. (if their intentions are ever so good.) are likely to confound the innocent with the guilty, and to inflict punishment disproportionate to the guilt of the offenders. Those who have framed our system of judicial proceedings have endeavored to counterbalance the c fleet of popu

lar excitement by the interposition of legal forms, and the appointment of ju.iges, who are .supposed to he above its influence. These forms are, in many ctcs acknowledged to be evils; ;.ev ofen retard the operation ef justice, and sometime shield the guilty Irani deserved punishment. B it their ua:l eiiec.l is 10 protect me innocenr. They interpose delay and. caution in all meauies. acknow lodging the julice of the maxim, " that it is oetter that tne gm'iy pt r.-ai s should escape, than thai one innocent man should suffer." We kna.v that the, advocates of Lyncii's law contend for the exe rcise of Ua ir high powers only in particular cases, under very aggravated circumstances. Ii is admitted that in sonvi such cases it may have a good effect; but we think that is more than balanced by the bad effects arising from an admission of the principle on which it is founded. It makes a few self-appointed ami perhaps interested persons, ihe je.dges, the jury, and the executioners of tiieir sentence, in cases in which even ti e lives of" the persons accused dope-ids on their decision. That decision is generally made from the impulse of the moment, without lime for due reflection, and on such evidence as public rumor may happen to afford. We should be glad to see this subject considered more seriously than it has yet been by the people of the United Slates. The great extent to which this principle has been carried, and its rapid dissemination through ail parts of tlie union, are tiuly alarming (o the friends of liberty and order. Every man, before he does any thing to encourage, it, should attentively and seriously examine, not only its consequen ces in the particu'ar case before him, but its effocts on society at huge.

Almost eveiy day brings wiih it the necessity of 'recording some fresh instance of (lie violation of order and law. An individual lately in Mobile attempted, bv the abduction of las brother's child, to extort a sum of money from the father. The plot was discovered the child restored and the offender, under the authority oi that lex noti seripla, the I. ncii code, has been hung by the mob on the next tree!

The course pursued in some inslanees by the press, in relation lo this matter's to be regretted. Judge Lynch and bis proceedings are often spoken of in a tone of levity, and made the subject of familiar and unbecoming jesting. Now, it strikes us that all this is illtimed, as unfortunate in the influence it is likely lo exert. These scenes are

calculated only lo sicken the heart, and

Mr. Campbell, of the firm of Sublette and Campbell, reached this city on Wednesday last, from the Rocky Mountains. This gentleman left here on the 9th of April hist, by land, wiih but two companions to perform a journey of one thousand miles, through a desert land, untenanted save by savages. He returned on the 15th of July. If we deduct several days, during which time he was

etained in the settlements, it will leave

only three months for the accomplish ment of this perilous adventure. 1 he ime route was never before travelled in so short a period. By and by we w e shall think nothing of making excurions to the Mountains; and undertake them with scarcely greater inducements than govern the multitudes who flock to our places of fashionable resort in the summer months. Mr. Campbell was not .molested in my manner, by the numerous bands of nifians through whose country he wa compelled to pass, lie remained .about fifteen clays at the company's post al the foot ot the Ulack Hills. The traders and trappers in that country during the past winter were generally successful. Mr. Campbell understood from some of ihe Sai.ke In dians, and little doubt is entertained of its correct ne:, that a party of Indians, ot an adiaining tribe had murdered two of Ihe trappers belonging to (he New Kngland expedition under Capt. yell:. 1 Ins is the only outrage known to have been committed during the vear. in that country, uon A 'noricans. llcpuHcan. a xrv.'sPAi':-:::. friend recently stated to us, that 111a conversation once with tne late Dr. Benjamin IU sh, he had asked him if lie was in the practice of reading newspapers? The Doctor replied, Mint he did not read the political essays, but that he regularly read their general contents, as displaying God's providence to man, in a t-rcat variety of wav. The justness of this remark must he manifest to any one who will cast his eye over a daily paper. Custom in this country has not authoriz 'd, as ia Lngland, the annunciation of births, but masriages .and deaths always constitute a part of its content. The good and had actions of individuals, and their rewards and punishments, are detailed. Visitations, in the form of fires, storms, earthquakes, diseases and famines, and a variety of other calamities, which human foresight or prudence cannot avert, with blessings in the shape of plentiful crops, national prosperity, health and peace, are depicted. Accidents, (so called) and the every day occurrences of life, down lo the most trivial matter that can interest a reader even of the most humble class, are recorded. The ship news carries Ihe mind all over the world, and gives us to know the-perils of the great deep, whilt ihe advertising columns inform the people of a thousand matters, in some of which at least every body is interested. Phil. Gn:. One would he naturally surprised o;i being (old that it is proposed, and is practicable, to shoiton (he voyage between N. Yoik and Liverpool at least one third by means of rail roads. The mode of 1 fleeting it is clearly laid down by a correspondent of the Portland Advertiser. An English paper states that a rail road is contemplated from Dublin to Valentin, a port on tlie extreme western coast of Ireland, wiih a view to shifting the port for the Lhigiish paekt ts from Falmouth to Valentin, a pert further projected into the Atlantic-Oceau than any other in Jvarope. Opposite to this on our continent it i proposed to fix a harbor at or near Cape Canso in Nova Scotia. Ther.ce a steamboat might rnq between the main land and Prince Kh.vard's Island to ihe bay of Verte. From this point by the liver St. John's, Bangor in Maine, might be easily reached either by steamboat or railroad. By thi route the length of the sea voyage between Europe and America would be reduced to a fortnight. It is computed that there are about 2,000,000 sheep in Vermont, the wool from which amounts to neatly .$4,000,000, per annum. The Wetumpka, Alabama, paper has a notice of the marriage of Mr. John Lm't to Mrs. Julia S. Acver, aged 70. Better late than jiacr she probably thought. The Post M.iMcr at New York, has refused lo send in the mail from his office, the papers and p imhlets, of the Anti Slavery Society.

Old boots and shoes are now purchased by cart loads in New York city, and taken to an establishment near Ilarlacm, where they are manufactured into Prussian blue, a species of paint very valuable, and not until recently, made in this country.
