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. The Sporttman.

General Winefield Scott, and the Brave men under Xis cotninnnd, who was charged with delivering, the wliabiams of his Division of the Cherokee pop- Uhirfon, with whom was apprehended an intestine sav age M ar, the relief so readily afforded by the entire removal-of chat people without shedding one drop of blood for humanity to weep over, either of tho red or white man, can only meet with a grateful response. Fart ll.—The Commanding "General feels it J, equally due, to make honorable mention of the gal-- ; hint bearing of Brigadier Generals McConnell and 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 the spirit of true chivalry said “his Brigade were ready to defend their rights, without any other reward than their arms secured in giving protection to their people."—A people possessed of such a spirit have nothing to fear.
