About 9on the night of the 10th, the sentinels on tleck heard a great noise below, and repeatedly ordered quietness, without effort. In a short time they found the prisoners were forcing the hatuhes, and th y immediately fired one or two vollies among them, af ter which every thing was quiet. In the morning they took .ff the hat* li es 10 remove the dead, if any, when they found only 4 nut of the 256 alive! The place presented a most appalling spectacle of la- crated and mangled .>odie9. Some hud their eyes thrust out ; the tongues of some hung out of their mouths ; others h id their ribs stove in ; others their mouths torn from ear to ear. home were hanging by their haninio* k itrirg by the neck ; others by their middle, with their hands down ; and %me bud undergone mutilation too horrible to be described. The wri ter bad this account, at which hu man nature shudders, from an eye witness, the fiegt Lieut. of the brig, who was first on board in the morn ing. It appears the carnage com inencfd by a pat ty “f them wishing to murder ail the Europeans who were their fellow ptisonecs (about, perhaps, 10 or 12 in number,; hut that being 10 the dark, they des pa* bed ui.iny who were not, whi< b excited ill blond * They did not, moreover, all agree upon escaping by force, whi.h increased the ani mosity amongst them, and a massa cre of the m-isr savage nature com menced ; t*#r they hud no edge wea pons. nor any thing hu* their hand* and their hammo k ropes. They Were all their cloths being ion from their barks. They had pil*d up the dead bodies under the bu!cites to form a kind of platform to enable them to reach the gra ting*. and most of these bodies were Europeans. About 20 were killed by tb“ dis< harge of musketry. The four who \vee found alive had hid den themselves underwater casks at the commencement f the frav, and bad not, it appeared, suffered in health. One man was found nearly strangled, but slid alive; but he died >o the way to the Hospital from a slight fall, * Another account supposes they bad destroyed ca li other in a fit of insanity or desperation. .TTH i— mmmn .Administrators Sales ON Saturday the 22d of May next will be 6old agreeably to an order of the Court of O dinar v of 3E K e r county, at the court house of Said county, O te t> act of Land containing 6i 3 4 acres, in said coun ty adjoining Samuel Allgood and 0- ther,. ir being the real estate of John C Taylor, deceaed to be sold for the benefit of the heirs and creditors of said deceased. rtebecca Taylor, adm'x.
