The Holly Springs Reporter of the 29th says: One of the horse thieves, convicted at the late-term of the Hernando Court, and sentenced to the penitentiary, has published a letter in the People’s Press, implicating several men by the names of HURST, who reside in McNairy county, Tenn., as being at the head of a band of these outlawed horse thieves. He says that they steal horses from Tennessee to sell in Mississippi, and return with stolen horses from Mississippi to sell in Tennessee.
