HORRID.
The Staunton, Va. Spectator of the 6th
ult. contains the particulars ot the trial of tho
three slaves, Andrew, Lucinda, and Caroline,
for the murder of the two children of their
Master, Mr. Mayse, of Bath county, V,-r
--ginia.
Some account of, the murder has already
been given to the public. On Friday the 10th
of August, two little daughters of Mr. Mayse,
one aged something more than seven years,
and the other probably from is 1S months
younger, had been going to school for some
time, about three quarters of a mile from their
father’s house, having failed to return home
at the usual time, their mother became unea
sy at the delay, and caused a search to be
made for them, supposing they had strayed off
for the purpose of gathering wild berries, and
had lost their way. Her alarm was increased
by the fact that her husband was absent at the
Hot Springs, and night was fast approaching.
For some time the search was unsuccessful,
but at length the children were found lying
dead near the road by which their father must
necessarily pass on his return home, with then
throats cut from ear to ear. Suspicion soon
attached to three negroes, viz: a mannamed
Andrew, a woman named Lucinda and a girl
about 14 years old, named Caroline, all of
whom belonged to Mr. Mayse. A coroners
inquest was held over the bodies, and a great
deal of testimony was examined which so con
firmed the previous suspicions, that the three
negroes were arrested and committed to jail,
and a warrant issued to convene court for
their trial on the 22d of August. Immediate
ly after the arrest, Caroline, tho girl, made a
disclosure, criminating Lucinda, who was her
own mother, and the man named Andrew.
(>n the trial, which took place on the day
abo'\e mentioned, two of the accused, Andrew
and Lucinda, were separately arranged, and
the girl Caroline was brought 'forward as a
witness. Her testimony was to the following
purport:
On the evening of the murder, Lucinda, her
mother, left the house of her master, for the
ostensible purpose of gathering blackberries.
As she went from the house, she told the wit
ness £he must go down towards the school
house, and meet the children, as they came
from school, and bring them up to tho gate
over the hill, and that she would show them
another blackberry patch. Ihe witness ac
cordingly took tho child of Mrs. Mayes, which
she was nursing-, about fifteen months old, and
went towards the school house, until she met
the children on their return home.
She readily persuaded them to accompany
her to the place designated, which was about
400 yards from the house of Mr. Mayes, on
the road, and near the gate which led into
one of his fields. The ground on one side oi
the road at this point, was in a forest, and on
the other was cleared, with the exception of
bushes which had grown up in the field. Ihe
situation was quite public for that remote sec
tion of the country, ns the road was occasion
ally a good deal travelled.
W hen the witness reached the point desig
nated, she found tho prisoners Lucinda and
Andrew, waiting for them, tho latter leaning
on the fence, with his shirt sleeves rolled up to
his shoulders. Almost immediately upon their
reaching the spot, Lucitula seized the eldest
child, who finding herself so roughly handled,
begged Lucinda not to hurt her, us she had
never done her any harm. Lucinda made no
reply to this prayer for mercy, but catching
bold of the head of her victim, she drew it vi
olently back so ns to leave the throat fully ex
posed, and standing behind her, hold her firm-
Iv in this position until Andrew with a single
stroke of a shomakcr’s knife cut her throat
almost from car to car.
Lucinda then relinquished her hold end the
poor little innocent with its eyes rolled up
wards in agony, and with uplilted hands, stag
gered forward, describing in her course a hall
circle, with tho blood spouting from every
vein and artery, until she fell prostrate upon
her face nnd expired without a groan. The
other little victim, terrified beyond expression,
at the horrible scene which she had just wit
nessed, fled into a corner of tho fence, and
with outstretched arms emplored for mercy.—
But she might as well have appealed to hun
gry tigers. Andrew rushed upon first, drag
ged her forth from her place of refuge, and
handed her to Lucinda, who held her in the
same position in which her sister had met her
horrible fate, and Andrew, with tho same in
strument of death, to use the language of the
witness, “sawed her neck for some time” until
tho head was almost severed from the body,
and she fell dead without a struggle.
The witness stated that shw then ran away
to tho house, and did not know what the pri
soners did or where they went tor some time
afterwards.
This dreadful narrative of the witness was
sustained by all the circumstantial evidence in
the case, and by the testimony of all the other
witnesses as to the collateral tacts. Upon an
examination of the position of the bodies oi
the children, and the wounds, and the appear,
ance of the ground, it was sound that every
thing corresponded with the statement ol the
witness. The body of the eldest lay upon the
face, and the blood showed that she must have
fallen in that position, as a large quantity had
Slowed from the wound and was found immedi
ately under the neck. <
The traces of blood were also distinctly
visible, shewing that she had staggered for
ward and described a semi-circle hi her pro
gress, as stated by the witness. Tho woend*
wo corresponded with her description, for
whilst the gash in the threat of live eldest was
smooth, and not more than two or three in
ches in length, that of the youngest was rag-
’ and uneven, and of much greater depth
xs>. xtenu
I Words cannot describe the feeling which
was produced upon the "bystanders as ibis
dreadful narration progressed, particularly as
the father and mother of the murdered chil
dren were obliged to be present. The deepest
emotion pervaded the whole audience. ' The
counsel were so much affected as to be com
pelled from time to time to suspend the exami
nation, and the poor mother was so convulsed
with agony, that she was obliged to be sup
ported, half fainting and sobbing as if her
lieart would break, from the Courl Houses
A number of witnesses were examined,
whose testimony went to establish the guilt of
the prisoners, and the court accordingly pro
nounced them guihy. The girl Caroline was
subsequently arraigned and tried. In consid- j
eration of her youth, and of the full disclosure
she had made, and from a regard to public
policy, as well as from the inconclusive nature
of the testimony, independently of her own
evidence, the court acquitted Caroline, but
hound her master over in the penalty of $2009
for her good behaviour—or in other wort’s for
transportation.
The two negroes convicted of the murder
were to be executed on the 25th September.
Last week we gave an account of a murder
being committed in Pickens District a few days
previous; but we could not vouch for the cor
rectness of the particulars. It will be seen
from the following, which wc copy from the.
last Rutherford, N. C. Gazette, that the name
of- the murdered man Baxter, and not
Blackstone, as stated by us.— Greenville S.
C. Mountaineer.
“A murder, of the most revolting nature,
was committed upon the bodies of Mr. Wil
liam Baxter and two of his children, a son
andjdaughter, on the Ist inst., near Pendleton,
S. C., by a negro man. Mr. B. was a native
and respectable citizen of this county, and
was returning from Alabama, at the time of
his death. Arriving near Pendleton, he pitch
od his tents for the night, and, at the houi ol
midnight, when all were asleep, the infernal
monster sought this opportunity of carrying I
into effect his diabolical purpose. From the
appearance of the wounds inflicted, it is sup
posed that they were killed with an axe, the
head of the father, when found, being nearly
split’ia too. The murderer was a negro man,
whom the deceased had purchased, a short
lime previous, in Georgia, in which direction |
ho was scon returning the day after the mur
der was committed. We do hope that this
vile miscreant may bo shortly apprehended
and made to atono his crime by the most se
vere penalties in tho power of the law. No
punishment could ba too severe for such a be
ing.”
SuoKixtJ Murder. —Wo have a letter from
a gentleman at North Bennington, (V t.) dated
Wednesday morning, stating tiiat on 1 uesdaj
evening, the wife of FhHernon Dates, of that
place, was shot through the head, by her bus
band’s brother, Archibald, with a rifle. At tho
moment of this fiendlike murder, Mrs. Bates
was sitting with her infant in her arms, near
a tand on which was a candle, the light oi i
which enabled tho murderer to take his dead
!y aim.
The husband of Mrs. Bates hud just left the '
room, being called out by his father, who de- •
aired to inform him that Archibald had been
beard that afternoon to threaten her life.
Tho murderer fled, but was pursued nnd
overtaken. Powder nnd balls were found in
his pockets, yet he denied tho commission of
the crime.—zV. Y. Com. Ade.
Mukdkr.— A young man named Thomas
I lamilton was stabbed on the night of the 24th
Sept, at Spring Hill, (Ala.) The deceased
had been drinking and was returning home,
when he met his grandlather, who was also in.
ebriated. An altercation ensued, and the lat
ter struck the young man and stubbed him in
the belly, of which wound he died in nine or
ton hours afterwards. Tho murderer’s name
is Benjamin Alexander—he is ninety years of
age.
TO MANAGE A REARING HORSE.
*ln preference to the dangerous experiment
of pulling a rearing horse backwards, I recom
mend the adoption of the following method:—
Whenever you perceive the horse’s inclina.
tion to rear, separate your reins and prepare
for him. Tho instant ho is about to rise slack
en one ham!, and bend or twist his head with
the other, keeping your hands low. Ihe ben
ding compels him to move a him! leg, and pl
necessity brings his tore feet down, instant,
ly twist him completely round two or three
limes, which will confuse him very much, and
completely throw him otf his guard. 'The n.o
meat you have finished twisting him round,
place his head in the direction you wish him
to proceed, apply the whip two or three times
severely. The horse perhaps, wdl not be
quite satisfied with the first detent, l>ut may be
disposed to try again for the mastery. Should
this be the case, you have only to twist him,
&c., as before, and you will find in the second
straggle, he is much more easily subdued than
on the former occasion—in fact, you will per
ceive him quail under the operation. It rare
ly happens that a rearing horse, after having
been treated in the way described, will resort
to his trick* a third time. Bui in going into
other hands, and having another rider, he will
be very likely to have recourse to rearing.

j Hemphill, who when ordered to place their commands
in a state of readiness to meet the worst emergency
j that might arise in Cherokee removals, they each
responded they were ready for the onset: the latter in

ALL persons are hereby forwarned from trading
for five promissory notes, made by myself to
John I. Jonston or bearer,—one amounting to eleven
hundred dollars, and due the twe.ity-fifth day of De
cember, 1838; one for five hundred dollars, one for
three hundred, and one for two hundred dollars, and
one for one hundred dollars; all made payable to
John I. Jonston or bearer, and due the 25th December
1839. The consideration for which the above notes
were given having wholly failed, I am netermined not
to pay them unless compelled by law. This Bth Sep
