According to our promise m'ade some timo igo, we present our Pead1er to-day: with a continuation of-the exposep of the horrors -and ,deviltvies- of C-layton's 'wurdeters and thievosi, irpeta'tok-s'of deeds js dark and daniable that the re. iwnbraneo of them will make the word milifid odious and hateful tc th#'pedpl6!of theo'Sath 'alid South. Wdst fdihil' time to -covae-deods, W ich, whon we contempate them nowi. and reflect that the perpotra. tre not -only -*walk our -streets with'imputity," but 'are 'the hon. orcd representatives of the domi. paut power, make us blush for, the:manhood of the'South. All cries'and 6hames, outrages that \voild have disgrlcod the darkest days Of tho dark-ages, have been committed openly and with the Altiloli of the highest 'a(ttidrity. 'All lw, and justice, aid right w ore stricken from their thrones and1(i hurled>poworl-ess to the earth wirore-they now lie under the iron heel of' a military despotism, at the head of' which aru non convicted of all.crimos, thoroughly depraved and vile, the scum of the oarth But, however high they hold thei0r heads now, however brazen. ly they lord it over justice. and law, however boldly and unblush. ly they outrage every right of the people, a day of reckoining is at hand, and vengeanco is certain to ovmrtake them. It may be slow, but so surely as a God of Right lives in Heaven it will como, and when it does, their destruction will be utter and completo. Meanwhile, ill we e,ain do is to expose to tihe l)CojI1 their villain. iewand crimes, and abide in -pa etieo till our time comes. Our last expose-proved Uphain a mu derer alld a thief-giving the re Cret. history of' the murder of Johtn B. Thorpe.

We ar o-now -able to prove that Capt. Davis wais murdered by the same -hand-or, t-ather by order of the satine man. - When Davis was murdered, the mu dierer, Joe Little wais arrest. ed and confined in Marion jail. He was perfbetly callous about the aflair,-and paid no attention to a court-martial or its finding. About two hours befiro his execution his 8eitonlce was road to him. This was the first intimation that he liad of his fate. The doomed man coLild not and would not be. lieve it at first, but he was assured that, the sentence was irrevocable, and that he had but two short hoi1r to live. - Being a believer in the Roman Catholic religion ho asked to be allowed to see a priest, and the re quest was .refused.

Little before boing led to tie siafdrold, mido a full confes sion-at hoad-quarters, and it was tekon down by Capt. Cooke, (our informant thinks Cooke; took it down, but- is not sure.) It never saw the light, te may be imagined. Where is it? Will some of the "hightoncd, brave,gentlemen" that the Post speaks of tell us? CRUbIP'S CASE. We gave our readers some time (%go the details of' what occurred in court during Crump's trial. Thore were, however, certain de tails which we thought .best not to-publish then, and-which we give norv : During the court-martial, Judge T.'W. Brown, Crump's attorney, made'a motion to be allowed to read 'ertin dopositions, tesitniony of witnesses who could not be pres ent, and.give it in person. Capt. Cooke, the Judge Advocate, was in favor of allowing it, and so in formed the court. As in all cases of deliberation, the court was cleared of all parties not members of it, the prisoner being removed to an adjoining room, where he could, without their knowing it, overhear almost everything that wajs satid in the Court-room. As soon as the Court was cleared the prisoner heard Haynes say to Cooke, that it was "no use wasting time listoning .either to deposi tions or witnesses, and he was therefore opposed to allowing tholn. N.o matter what Crump proved, or the witnesses proved, Crump had to die. He ' ought to be, and would be served like the others." . To this Cooke, who is as fair and just a man as could be in such an infamous sorvice, re plied that ho had promised Crump a fair trial, and a fair trial he should have. or he (Cook) would wash his hands of the whole busi ness; that he was tired of this "or ganizing to convict," and murder ing men, and that he would not be on the Court that hung him. Some other words wero passed, but the Court finally decided against admitting the testimony. That evening an order came from "Col." Mayne to Cooko, or doring him to resign his position and leave the State. T o t his Cookeo rep)lied that as for resigning "lie wiouldl do so with the greatest pleasure, lie was much obliged to him (Maynoe) for giving him the dhanco to get out of the position as he was tired of their murders and infamie's. As to leaving tho.State, however, he point- blank refused to do it, and said he would stay there and go with Mayne to his funeral firsIt." So he remained, and since the occurrence Mayne 'has made r.e poat.ed oKforts tg get possession of the order, but Cooke bas refused it, and still holds-it. -Coolke ,$ at present doing. bnainess in partner ship with Cltpt. Rice in Marion, merchandising. lie says he in tends8 using the order along with other information that he has, at some future time. MORE T9RTUR1!|. After Grumip's release by the civil authorities, he wvent to the Sheriff and told him where there were three pistols belonging to him, in the jail, and aslsed for them. The.y w.ere prociured and roturned to him. This cansed.a good .deal of inquiry among-tho creow, May no, ilaynos and others, as to how Crump.got the pistols ini jaiil. As soon ase Sheriff harden was -ro moved, M1ay.no commenced -a course. of inquiries, but could .find out nothing. A'few days. ago THaynes' negro wife had., a. .quarrel with a negro named Woods, who had been a Sergeant-in the m iltia and a guard over Grump the most of the time. Tolget '-revenge sho sworoe that she had seen himp hand the pistbls into the. ail 4o7Cy!pinp. On ti A hint they acted. .ay or two-beforo:arden-eame back 1I'aynds and Whiting seized Sor geant 'Woods and throw him into jail. They loft him there the first nigh', without telling him the charges against him. The next night, however, the trio took him out ahd told him what he was accused of. He denied it, and they prepared to put him to the torture. They first hung lilm awhilo-talc ing hii down before life wias oxtinct and questioning him. He still de nied all knowletdge of the char ges. They then bucked andgagged him for some time in the most cruel manner. He still protested that he was innocent himself and did not know who was the guilty person. As a last resort, Whiting cocked a revolver, put it to his head, and told him he- had but a minute to live, if he did not con fees. Woods was 9ered, but even the almost certainty of instant death did not elicit a confession, and the baffled scoundrels, after abusing hiin und cursing him, turned him loose, threatening if he ever .told what was done to him by them, to kill him. Woods is a negro, very much liked ly the white peoplo of Crittenden, and who did a good deal toward alleviating the wretch ed condition of the prisoners in the Marion jail. This fact havin transpirod, Mayne, HaynOs an Whiting( the mostinfernal scoun deels of all) have persootuted him in the manner just recited. He is r,eady to prove these charges, and much more. 'oRUMP. Graf. Crump, the young man who was so cruelly maltreated by them, and whose trial and tritii lhant vindication we have already given, is a gentlenian ofeducation and retinemtent, of'good fanily and irreproachable repuation. His sin. p)0 word is worth more than the Bible oaths of all the sealawags and carpet-baggers in Ar"nsas, or anywhere else, for that matter. IIe is the object of their ospecial hato and persecution. le is now in the city, and has been here al most ever since Ie was released. Notwithstanding thisfact is known and liecnn prove it, Haynes and Mayno are continually spreading the report, sending it to little Rock and elsewhere, that ho, Club Harlan, Clarence Collier and Gilbert Dowell are in the swamps murdering negroes. A few nights ago a negro cane in toMarion and reported that Crump and Harlan had murdered a negro at or near Kingston. On Friday evoning Crump in company vwith Collier went to Mound City and there heard this report. Fearing sonie trouble from it, they inmnediately took a skif and caie down to the city. It was well they did, for shortly after they loft, MAYNE DISOUISED AS A NEGRO, at the head of a band of twenty armed negroes camo into Mound City hunting for th'em. swearing vengeance against them, eBpe gially Crump, and saying they had an order for their arrest on chargeof having commiittedl this miurderi. It no0w turnsout that there was no murder commiitted, nor was any order issued for their ar-rest. Mayno denies that lie had any thing to do with the affair, but it can be proveni, as can every charge made in this expose. We under stand that Mayne is nowv trying to trump up something on Dr-. Guerraunt wvho was so dlevoted to ,tho interest of the prisoners, lie has,. however, thus far not .sue THIJR MOVEMENTs. Mayne,-Turner and.Whiting left for Little Rock a day or two -ago. They loudly swear tiat some bot4y will suffer when they come back. They also say that t he injunction l ately3 , grar)ted Sheriff, garden by theo - upreme Court shtall -be set aside. Haynes .was in the city yester day. lHe was dressed up in a no. suit of' clothos which hie either beat some tailor out of,- or' paid for wvith stolen. money. it. is .e ported .among his negro friends that he came over to niake ar rangements to be married . As he has one negro wife now, we sup pose thie other will be of.the same color.

An aged gentleman, of not very preposses sing appearance, but, neverthele-s a perfect reois was leading his brido, a girl of sweet sixteen, to the hyinenial alter, under the cir cuImstaIces of' haii)g 'uIrcalIsCd her hand (but not her heart) by assisting her father when in pe cuniary difliculties.

Dr. Samuel Henry Dicksontof South Carolina, one of the Profes. sors in Jefferson Medical Collego, in Philadelphia, in addressing the recent graduates of that instita. tion, paid the following beautif\l compliment to woman, which we know overy woman ivill appre. ciate: It has often been remarked th4t the physician, above all other men, should be a gentleman and a man of honor. I avow myself as ono of those who hold in profoub'd reverence "the grand old nai64nf gentlman," whether it represent the chivalrous knight . of the an Lient legends, the Bayard withoUt floar and without reproach-or'the madman of Cervantes the poorleas Doi Quixote; the hero of Thack-. 0rary's charming fietion, the dear old Colonel Newcone ; the bright poetical picturo of noble King Ar. thurt, as drawn by Tennyson, or. tihe.gloi'ious statuesque model of history, Sir Philip Sidney ; apd-I LrCgard honor as the bright, fra grant flower of morality and vir tue. Our prof'ssion is one of the highest and most. snored trubt, which to violato, must entail 'll the inalties of the basest troach ei-3r. - Our relations with our pa tients, and.osp.eoially with women, aro inioxpm s.ihl-y cotpfidential and delicte, aid alord us oppontup-i tios, which should-ncver be disi garded, of sustaining the fooble,. and protecting tho-o who need R31patly and help-whose "faces we should not permit the winds of Ieaven to visit too roughly." Depond upon it, that in propor tion as you fulfil such duties in tho domesticcircles wheroyou are received as a guardian and guide, will he your fut.ure succes. I aN proud to say that a large part 6f the purest happiness I have on, joyed in my checkerod course has resulted from my professional rela. lations with Women, and the close and valuablo friendship originat. ing therein. It is to them thab we must, look for tenderness, gra titude and fidulity, Woman's soft hand my carly cradle spreadi Her gentle care bedecked my bridal bed; By woman let my dying hours be hurst, 11er love the last fond solace, as the first. A HANDSoME Sour.--One day last winter, a little boy from the South, who was on a visit to the city, was taking his first lesson In tho art of "sliding dowin the hill," when ho found his feet. in rathee too close contact with a lady's silk dress. Surprised, mortified and confused, lhe sprang from his sled, and cap in hand, commenced ILan apology. "I beg your pardon, ma'aim ; I am very sorry." "Nover mind that," oxclaimed the lady, "thero is no great harm dIono, and you fool worse about it than 1 do." "But., dlear madam," said the boy, "your dIress is ruined. t thought that you would be very angry with me for being so care loss." "Oh, no," reli ed the lady, "bot tor to have a soiled dr1ess than - ruillled temiper."' "Oh, isn't she a beauty ?" oyr. claimned the lad, ats she passed on. "Who, that lady ?" returned his comrado, "if' you call her a beau ty-, you shant choose fbor me. .Why, 51h0 is more than thirty years ld, iad her faice is wrinklod." gI don't care if her face is wvrin klodl," replliod the boro', "her soul is handsonte any/Low." A shout of laughter followed, from which the little fellow was glad to caapo. Relating the in idlent to his mo thor,, he re marked: "0, mother, that lady dlid me good.
