We have the curiosity to take a peep at this extra, and are quite willing to concede, that for malignant falsehood,

and wicked defamation, it stands decidedly "ahead ofall competition." The extra purports to be written by an "eye-witness" of the scenes so graphically described, and so highly colored. And it is accompanied with a few choice reflections by the editors, the deep and damning malignity of which

Mr. Editor:—In lookinng over an ol^l "Index Re rum," I fiiid that "once upon a time," when King George was upon the English throne, a graceless scamp named George King, committed some overt act against the peace and dignity of the crown, and was therefore convicted and sentenced agreeably to the laws for such cases made and provided. George King was jugged up to await his time to be hanged. He didn't like the prospect before him, and so concluded to send the King the following petition: "George King to King George sends his humble petition, Hoping King George will pity poor
