LYNcHINe.-On the 16th inst, mob of sev- eral hundred men took from the jail of Williamstown (Ky.,) two persons Mays and Cook, suspected of the murder of drover named Uuerback. They then erected scahold on the spot where the crime was committed, called two priests shr've the prison ers and hanged them up according to the very letter of lynch law. The affair was creating great deal of excitement in Kentucky. f. lf

 Recently in Illinois equally summary punishment was inflicted on some gamblers who had committed an atrocous murder. The rascals were pursued sev. eral miles and when overtaken at least fifty bullets were lodged in one of them.

 h the latter case the enormity of the crime and the reckless character of the perpetrators, with the uncertainty of justice in that portion of the country are stated as pslliation of the dreadful punshment inflicted.
