The Murderers of the Park Family Taken from the Prisoa and Hung by a Mob. InprANaPorts, Noy, JT, 1871. eee. Mornicie rng cudied dofimndaty of hia wert rattled by the discovery of a series of furders, which for ftendish atrocity has seldom been equalled. On Saturday night the house of Mr. Park, neat Lebanon Church, a few miles from Henryville, was broken open by @ party of despera- does, who beat out the brains of Mr. and Mrs, Park and their son, aged ten years; two daughters, four- teen and fifteen years of age respectively, were also clubbed until they were senseless, and were found the next morning in a dying condition. Sight traces of the murderera were discovered; but finaly the exertions of the sleuth hounds of the law were crowned with success, and three negroes, of notorious bad character, named Squin Taylor, Charles Dixon and George Johnson, were arrested, circumstances too strong for contradiction point- ing them out as the perpetrators of the bloody aeed, One of the accused subsequently made a full con- fession, saying that the crime was committed to obtain possession of a smal! sum of money which the unfortunate Park had recently collected. The sequel ts nearly as atrocious as was the horrid crime itself. The murderers were placed in the county jail at Chorieston. The public excitement became (tense, and tnreatg of lynching the assas- sins were Openly made, but no extra precaution was made by the authorities to prevent such n outrage. At two o'clock thts morning about forty disguised men suddenly made their appearance in the stregts of Charleston, aud, without alarming many of the Inhabitants of the town, marched allent and orderly to the jail. The jatler was soon aroused by one or two of the crowd, who made some pre- text for wanting admission at such an unusual hour. The door being opened to permit them to enter, the whole crowd made a rush for admission, and @ namber effected an entrance. The cell in which the murderers wore confined was forced open, the three men roused from their slumbers and taken about two miles from the town aud hung to two trees, Making sure that thetr job was welt done, the mob qatetly dispersed, leaving the bodies of the malefactors dangling from the trees, where they were discovered this morning by the citizens, When found Taylor had been stripped naked and burned in @ number of places with brands froma fire whioh the mob had kindled, probably with the intention, as expressed by them, of roasting them alive, It is strongly intimated that the negroes made a confesstén before death. Taylor and Johnson were hung on the same tree; Davis on another tree, some hundred feet distant. The mob was made up of citizens from the vicinity of Henryville, Uta county, and Charlestown. The Coroner’s inquest, held to-day, rendered a verdict that they came to their deatu by violénce, being hung by parties unknown. The negroes had not been indicted by the Grand Jury and the citizens feared they would escape punishment. No one attempted to interfere with the mob, who broke in two doora with sledge hammers and chisels; but the Sheriff unlocked the third, seeing he could not keep them out. Personal Intelligence.

As @ substitute for “Mignon,” which was to have been produced last night, but which was post- poned, owing to peculiar circumstances over which the management had no control, “La Sonnam- bula,” the chef d'@uvre of Bellini, was given with the following cast:—Amina, Mile. Leon Duval; El- vino, M. Capoul; Count Rodolpho, Signor Buon- giorno. Maretzek gave the same opera in years gone by with Bosio, Piccolomini, Sontag, Lagrange, Patti and Kellogg as the Amina, salvi and Brignolt as Elvino and Marini, Badiall, Morelli and Amodio as Count Rodolpho. Very many of the boxes and a fair proportion of the parquet ‘were empty last night, owing to the absence of the star and life of the troupe, Mile, Nilsson. Many of the snoscribers went to the vox ofice during the day, and, a3 we have been toformed, insisted upon having their tickets and seats changed for an even- ing when Nilsson shoald gs A stronger proof Of the fact that the Swedish Nightingale 15 the ite and soul of this company could not ve given. During the performance twelve boxes (we counted them) were vacated by their occupants—for what reascns we cannot state. Capoul was the only star of the evening, and he, probably, on account of the severe work he has undergone, was compictely hoarse, aud it was an effort of no ordinary kind for him to support the entire weight of the opera on his shoulders during the performance. The great. est diMculty with M, Capoul was the disagreeable fact that the music of Beilint unfortunately deals in long phrases, aud long musical phrases are very try- ing on a French voice, Verdi, Donizetti and Gounod, even Flotow, deal in short, emphatic hrases: but Bellini is like Cheruvini in the talian opera, he is fond of those long, difficult Phrases that require a thoroughly trained Italian voice w interpret them. Therefore M. Vapoul, great as has been his success in his previous roves, tai to create the impression that might be expected. Milc, Duval had the rare faculty, even with the diapason normal, of sin, out of tune and butchering the music of Amina to the most un- Warrantable extent.

BAFFLED in finding Mr. Ely, the reporter left his residence and went in search of a clerk whose name had been furnished, but who when found professed entire ignorance of the rumored failure, From thence he came on to Chatham street, where the pank is located, and discovered the oifictals of the bank bustly engaged in overhauling affairs, and searching the books. On passing his card through the grating to a clerk, 1t was handed to one of the Financial Committee and a general AIR OF CONSTERNATION was plainly visible, it being evident thattne gentle men who were present had no idea that their secret was out, and already known tothe public, A hur- ried consultation took placein the oflce, during which the books were dropped, and the business which seemed so pressing suspended for the time. As the result of the conference the clerk stated that no information could be given on the state of the finances last night, as the oMictals were not certain how they would stand until a thorough examination of the books took place and the amount of the assets was ascertained, and, under the circumstances, the REPORTRE COULD NOT CONE IN. Some carriages were standing at the door, and & knot of people was beginning to gather, surprised at seeing such bustle around the bank at so un- unsual an hour.
