Seymour i led.) vigilance committee visited the New Albany jail this morning at about 3 o'clock, hung the three Beno brothers and Chas. Anderson, the railroad express robbers, in- Bi le the jail, and left town before any alarm given. LOI-ISVILLZ, Dec. following ditionkl particulars about the tragedy at New Albany have been received. About 3 o'clock this morning Mr.

Luther Whitten, one of the outside guards of the jail, was met at the entrance by a of men who presented pistols to him, demanding silence or death. Whitten shouted, however, but was seized, knocked down aid informed if another shout wae uttered he should die. By this time the jail office was filled with men searching for the keys. Sheriff Fullerton, understanding the situation, came down from his sleeping apartment and gained ths door leading to tfce grounds on the west side of the jail. Here he met an armed force with pistols direct 1 at him and exclaimed: "Gentlemen, don't shoot me.

I am sheriff" One of them, however, fired a shot, taking effect in the right arm, inflicting a serious and painful: wound. The kejs were demandedj but he positively refused to surrender About a doten of them then entered Mr. Fullerton's rooms, where his wife laid in bed, and demanded the jail keys of her, which she refused, but they succeeded in finding them concealed in a drawer. Thomas Mathhewi, one of the inside guards, waa compelled to open the cells of the men the mob hod determined to hang Frank and William Reno were the first viotims dragged out, and they were hung alongside of each other on the same pillar. Simon Reno was then brought out, but he fought the mob with great desperation, knocking or two down before he wis overpowered, and left suspended tween the ceiling and floor.

Charles An- the lust victim, was heard 10 beg for the privihge of praying, but this request was refused, and he was hung at the south west coroer of the jail cell. After further threats of killing the bheriff the mob proceeded to tLe train, carrjitg with them the keys. From the jail to the train armed men stood guard to prevent any fihrm being given. At 4 o'clock the train witL the entire party, ccntisting of from 75 to 100 men, started off They came well armed and equipped for the work. They In" tended to hung a man named Clark, the nwr- derer of Oeo.

There Uaot a of the legislature that will have a vofl in the for senator, that earn say llave passed a word with him on the sabjeelof the senatonhip; nor is there a poHtieiaiRaat can with truth say I have made the Jttghtest effort to influence a vote onthequStfon. The truth is, this senatorial contesrh one for you repubiioans themselves aad I think that I have enough to know that I could not If I would promote any preference I might entertain, or help airy republican personal friend. Hones I em contenting myself with working to pay BIT depts and meet the taxes which the pres- enVexiraordinary times and republican administrations impose upon all who do not hold government bonds or practice law.

Such Being my situation I am at toss to understand why my personal aad pref ersnees if I have sueh an object of deep selieitwde with such ponderous statesman as your correspondent, and a former trostera New York militia colonel, aad one or two others of in this oitf-a class of BMU who are proverbial for attending to all ths business of their neighbors and acquaintances, aad who are even then left with spare time oa their hands. To assure all such sons of my sincerity in this regard, I give them tan liberty, tor the nexv thirty days to listen aMhe -key-hole or under the window sill ef my counting room, and hear aad report to their anxious friends, ail I may say on the subject of politics, state or national, aad especially about the pending canvass for U. 8 senator from this state. The dragging in of my name as an active partisan of iSr- Carpenter, or of any one else, a small trick, fit only to be performed by some onreformed tapster, in the darkest corner of some third-rate beer saloon, while well along in hia caps. If there be any member of the legislature, even among the" most bigoted and credulous of the repubiioans, that can be fooled with such a petty fraud, the Lord pity the constituency that is represented by each a dunce.

fttr. Carpenter is my fellow citixen, personal Mead, aad attorney. He is unquestionably, the ablest lawyer ia the northwest; and ranks with the very ablest in the nation. As such, as a citixen of Milwaukee and of the state I am proud ef him. He rises above the ilaliisiTsf sf mediocrity for which our state has become too painfully no orious.

With him in the.senate, Carpenter would be to Wisconsin, what Douglas was to Illinois Benton, to Missouri; Case, to ehigan; Clay to Kentucky; Webster, to Massachusetts, to Mew York; and Calhoun to Sooth Carolina. With half a dozen such men Mr. Carpenter in the senate, we shoulc again see the days when there were giant! in the land. Po itically, on the questions of the hour, I differ from Mr. Carpenter toto totlo.

Mr. Carpenter endorses, and is a convert to the malignant policy of restoring the southern states to the Union which originated with, and was supported, by Edwin M. Stanton, Charles Sumner, Gen- Butler, Gov. Boutwell, Gov. Brownlow, Thad.

Stevens, He believes the iron heel of power alone can keep the southern states in subjection 19 the national authority. His election to the senate I bad never looked upon as probable. It would be too big a jump from state mediocrity, and would indicate that ''the day of small things" was approaching and end. Too many small men think they would be dwarfed by Mr. Carpenter's election, and email unfortunately, with very few exceptions run and control both your repuifc- forty and Out itott.

With your feilewvcitiaen, general borne, I have been acquainted for twenty years, and have, during that time, on terms of friendship with him, and am free to say that I think the state night go farther and fare worse, than select him for one ef senators.

The president's message waa again stolen by some one connected with the printing division of the treasury department and was offered for sale on Friday last at the newspaper offices in this city. To their honor be it said, the publishers refused to buy and the rascal who perpetrated the theft left every newspaper office with a very large sised flea in hia ear, possibly thinking honesty is the best policy." It was stated, apparently on authority, yesterday that the message had not been purloined; but such is not the case, as it was offered for sa'e as above stated. The printing division of the treasury is a complex affair as sev era! Investigating committees appointed by congress at divers times can testify. BVSIICSS BBTOBB CONOaBSS. The general impression seems to be that the coming session of congress will be less turbulent than any other held for the last eight yean.

There will be less legislation on reconstruction and more on the finances of the country than there was at the last session and the debate, while it will less be of an earnest character will be less acrimonious than that lost summer. All of the members have a general impression that ialauon is required on the financial question, although but few have any well defined tieas aa to what the best interests ef the government require. A few of the leading members and representatif however, have finanwl measures digested and will urge their passage as necessary to the salvation of the country. Senator Sumner's scheme for the immediate resumption of specie payments is opposed as tending to enrich still more the holders of the bonds and adding to the poverty of the masses. Senator Horton's bi 1 for resumption at a stated time (two years and a half) seems more expedient and is regarded by financiers of the ra Jical oarty as the most plausible plan yet devised- During the present week a bill emb dying the radical notion of universal suffrage will be introduced by senator Sumner; also a bill for funding of the national debt and the payment of the principal ia gold; a bill for the western railroads, and a bill for special tariff interests, etc will be introduced by other member! and referred to appropriate committees.

DICEAS1D MIMBKXS. The announcements of the death during the recess of congress of members: Thaddeus Stevens, Finney, Haun and Hinds will not be made probably before next week. Hon- 0. J. Dickey who fifys the vacancy occasioned by Mr.

Steven's death will pronounce the eulogy on his predecessor, whose law partner he formerly waa at Lancaster. Mr. Dickey is represented as an able lawyer. IBM PUBLIC A strong effort will be made early in the session to oust John D. Defress, the public printer, and singularly enough, senator Morton of Indiana heads the opposition to the present incumbent, and will bring forward the name of Gen.

Edward W. Hinks of Massachusetts for the position. The movement is not made in anticipation of Defress' promotion to a position in Grant's cabinet, but has its foundation in Morton's personal hostility to ths former. Hinks, who is at present ia the regular army, has written a letter signifying hk willingness to allow his name to be used as a candidate for the position ferred to, and says that wounds received 1 during the war prevent him from taking aa active part ia the military service. For thu roassa Hinks yearneih for the public printing bureau.

It is hard to say how much strength will be developed by the opposition to Defrees, but it will hardly be sufficient to accomplish his removal, fer the reason that the vice president elect, who hails from the same state, ia his warn personal friend and is a constant visitor the house of Mr. D. the latter, evidently hk elemcats of strength, has been ictive during the past week ia gathering together all the Indiaakai in tewa and to-morrow evening they visit Mr.CeUaxiaabodyfertha parpese of tending to tat lucky epeaker ihatr latiens at his eleotba Defteoe ths Artaaase yoaaf qatll' at her father's once and was immediately admired and coveted by derieaa, who sooa after managed an interview which proved esaipcatly ssAWactery to beta parties.
