After we-had gone to pre* with our A* issue, one o f the mart ertftiog^ I MrceooM witnessed in our city tor SWy veers, happened at the court houso.? John Taaoy, who had been arrested, and was being tried at the court house, on suspioion of having killed John Edwards, - whose assassination we reported aboug[ two weeks since, was shot down by a nreoqnoerted attack of several men, white he was in the custody of the Sheriff of Travis eounLtf_ Thfl morninor OAuinn of the court had been held, and the prisoner was about being taken to jail tilt after dinner, when a gang of some eight or ten men, who had been in attendance on- tho trial, came up, and one of the number, Jesse Graham, reachod out his hand and said, 44 IIow do you do, Taney," and jerked him from Sheriff Blockwell, and the men with him discharged a volley of shot at Taney. Black well had only a oonple of small deringers with him. lie fired with one and wot Graham, who made off, exclaiming, n By O?d he's got me." The Sheriff, when in the act of discharging his . . second pistol, was caught by one of the gang and held. Taney was then finished with balls to the ntimber of Id or 14. About 25 shots were fired at him, and the parties then rushed to their horses, which wore tied close by, mounted, and made their escape. The Sheriff, assisted by Messrs. Cullen, Norton, Hancock and other citizens, arrested Parson Milton T. Cnpci ton and his son Reuben, and put them in jail. They have siDCebeen tried, and thei'arson bound over to the next term of the District Court in the sum of $5,000, and tho son remanded to the county jail, to await his trial. C. S.

Taney wns n nephew of Chief Justice Taney, of the United States Supreme Court, n young innn, who had become, from forco of circumstances, desperate 1 and abandoned. He killed Clint. Edwards about two years ago, and was strongly suspected of having killed the old man, John Edwards, recently; and it was upon a WYit obtained by young Edwards and Parson Caperton, who live on Onion Creek, that ho was arrested and brought to jail. There can be no justification for such a high handed and outrageous proceeding. The mnjesty of the law has been trampled upon, and. one in the custody of the office re of the law, in the very temple of Justice itself, has been shot down and murdered in cold blood, in defiance of all law officers and the protection which the unarmed and helpless offender wa. entitled to.? Very great excitement has pervaded the entire community at this outrageous proceeding. Such high handed acts ~v. ^u.vxuvvi Uf pnilinicu III 24 I24UU of liberty, civilization, Christianity and law.?Austin Intelligencer, Lovejoy'b Inhumanity.?The Bureau "County Democrat, published at Princeton, the residence of Owen Lovejoy, says that during his boisterous and abusive speech the other day, he referred to the killing of his brother at Alton, a few years ago, and declared he would be avenged. But, adds the Democrat, lie was very careful not-to mention how he had defrauded the disconsolate widow of his brother out of the small estate left her by her husband, leaving her dependent upon the cold charities of tho world. The sister of tho unfortunate widow is also an inmate of the Leo county (fowa) poor house.? Notwithstanding the destitute condition of this woman, this boisterous hypocrite is constantly prating about his charity to tho runaway niggers that he , takes in and protects, and cxultingly , proclaims that the hungry shall never , t?e turned away empty from the philan- j thropic doors of his home. This very generous and Christian man is too great to smile or look upon the poor objects , related to him by the .ties of consan- , guinity. To help them might elicit aygel smiles, but it would not carry ! hiin to Congress where he can preach the mast offensive abolitionism, and ! boast of his nigger stealing operations uuder the plea of humanity and love to 1 the race. His solo aim being office, he ' is willing to ride any hobby in order to acquire it, while his poor sister-in-law may pine in want without attracting his boasted Anritics.

TniCKS of a Juggler.?The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia ? ?.? t-11?: akuuii^i givco IUU lUliUWIIIg i We have a celebrated juggler performing in the city, who played an amusing trick in a Broadway omnibus this forenoon. There was a distinguished literary gentleman in the stftge, with whom he enlerod into conversation. At length the literary gentleman pulled the strap and wns about to get out, wben the juggler tapped bim gently on the shoulder: " Excuse me, sir," said he, " I doubt not you nro an honest man, but I perceive you have'one of my gloves in your pocket." And greatly to the gentleman's surprise, he pulled ono of his gloves from an inside pocket, in which, wi course, ne adroitly placed it without the gentleman's knowledge. " llad I have taken one," replied the gentleman, " I should have taken both." M Yes," replied ihe juggler, " but I see jou have my pocket book as well," whereupon ho also took that article from the very bottom of the astonished gentleman a inside pocket.

The minister was completely dumbfounded. It was a strange epistle for him to receive, but there was the superscription, Rev. , as plain as could be. In the course of the day, however, the mystery was cleared up, and it appeared that the fair correspondent uad indited two letters, one to the reverend requesting his presence to tie the marriage knot and the other to n female friend, enlarging on the anticipated ocoasion, and requesting her services in procuring that highly useful article?a hoop-skirt. By some hocus pocuft the letters were placed in wrong envelopes, but luckily the rightful owners exchanged letters, and the minister and hoop-skirt were both there 1 [Jianpor {Me.) Timet. The Land That's Not Bern Skiw nbd.?Hon. Wm. Smith recently administered a rtterited castigation in Congress to Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, for unjust reflections cast upon Virginia: M I tell the gentleman," said Got. Smith, *' that I doubt whethor there is a State in the Union marching forward in such great strides in all material improvements. I go further, sir. I represent a district where, instead of the land being skinned, we hare soil so strong that a bullock of one thousand pounds can walk over it, after a week's rain, and have no more mud on him than a lovely woman's foot, encased in a velvet slipper, would have on it aftor walking round this Capitol. [Laughter.] Let me toll the gentleman, furthermore, that we have an amount of wealth, in our State, which gives to every man an averago of one thousand dollars greater than the averago in the Empire State. I presume that the average in that gentleman's own State of Ohio, uoes noi reacn nuy dollars." A Trial of Muscle.?The develop? ment of tuuscle leads not always to th< prize ring.

An opportunity for doing Litis was presented at Charleston, but no motion was m*de by Northern delegates to effect a consummation so much desired. The seceding delegates were ao luntcd, in withdrawing from the Charleston Convention, with the impression that the rights of the Southern States were not protected by the Cincinnati platform, unless tbeir construction was placed upon it. This was refused them, and they cannot now go Iwrck into that body without ignoring the principles u|>on which rests' the security of the South in the Union. We do hope, however, that a returning sense of justice will induce the Baltimore Convention to adopt the resolutions proposed by the delegates from scventeeu States, and thus effect liar mor.y in the party.

Mr. Editor?For man)- years past our District has been represented by one to whom wo always looked as the speaker of our delegation. No matter what issue might arise, we felt that, with him at the head of the delegation, our District would not want for a man to stand up before tlie LegislntuiSs'. And now that our champion has voluntarily retired front the contest, it becomes us to I enst about us for one who may wenrhisbelt with the same characteristics as his predecessor. First, and foremost among those was an independence of all outside pressures; and after this followed an eloquence of speech, an honesty of purpose, a liberality of soul, a conviviality of nature, and an industry of pursuit. Among our rising men, there is no one who combines these characteristics more fully than Mnj. II. LEETHHUSTON. Born > and raised among us, and inheriting these characteristic features from a long line of ancestry, these facts should be sufficient guar antees to us tiiat lie sails under no false eol s, but that it is the color of the true inetal hicli we see.
