The Picayune gives most dreadful account of the application of the lynch law in the West. It states that company of armed men in Philips county, (Ark) set out in pursuit of set of counerfeiters and horse thieves, whom they overlook 40 miles be- low Helena, on the Mississippi river. They were taken and secured, and the whole number, twenty seven, were tied hand and foot and drowned in the Mississippi Island 69, in the presence of two men; Harrod and Burges, who, it appears, oficiated or at least took active part in the execution of the sentence.

 This dreadful account IS confirmed by the New Orleans Picayune of yesterday.
