It is well known limit Mr. Han* dolph owned more than three hun dred slaves and was jpXcnediYigly lenient to them; ho won’d not allow his overseer# tv treat them with any degree ol harshness’, they were eye servants and would only work when closely watched, or when Mh. Ran dolph w%s at hot pc from their love of him and fear of his anger. Once when public duties kept him from home tor severs,! yewiv. his ttegroes became idle and worthless, and not half crops were raised, and earls and wagons and nil the farming tttcmAln were left in the field, and without shelter went to ruin; the fences were down or dilapidated, and tho cattle and stock of every kind wofe Vouch crippled up by the negroes in the ef forts to chase them out of the fields. More than halF the negroes were “playing possum that is pretended to be sick in order to avoid work. While things were in this Condition Mr. Randolph came homo from Washington to spend the Christmas holidays. Looking over his planta tion accounts with his overseer, he discovered that his plaution was not only not self sustaining, but actually bringing him in debt. Alter a thor ough examination of everything On the plantation he saw at once what was the matter, artd that his rigid in structions to his overseers to ho len* tent to the negroes 1a 1 bpon the Cause of the trouble, and they u ould no‘t work unit ss under fear of pun ishment and ho determined upon a plan for correction. The slaves in Old Virginia, and all tho South, had a Week’s holiday from Christmas to New Year, and these days were days of general jubilee and jolifica tion. Egg-nog was kept at the house or mansion for everbody and all hands $ (here was a terrible slaugh ter among the tiegroe’s pet pigs and fat poultry, and many a possum, caught weeks “before and fattened in barrels, and “etyms” smoked in the big cabin chimney, were served up with poundcake, puddings, chicken pie, “ store tea,” and locust and per* simmon beer at the holiday feasts night and day. It was then that the fiddle, the banjo, the tamborine and the Clevis and the clevispin kept up a perpetual music for the never censing dance. Mr. Randolph waited for the termination of these Christ inas holidays, aml promptly on the Ist of January ho ordered the over seer to hove all the farming utensils brou|fht*to tho barnyard. It took all day to search for them and to get thcmiwgvtbß* from wlmre they had tiecn dVi in tlio fields far .and neat*. The next morning there was a grandlispection of ploughs, harrows, hoes find rakes, and all that wire broken or seriously injured were thrown into a pile. Mr. Randolph then said,An his shrill voice: “Set them on fire, Mr, Chumley, and burn them up.” The overseer remonstrated urged that many of them fnight he repaired. “No, sir! No, sir! I want them HAMILTON, HARRIS C 0„ 0A„ WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16,1878. liurVlc-ti iV|h | TTsey Would atw ny s bo oM, rickety hnd good for Potldng.

Oh the ensuing morning theso w®i'£ bispeeted, and many wero fed do wiih ago and want of food; others were crippled and in jured, and all such, in spito of the ovcrseci’s pleading, were romorstdy knocked in lire head and buried. All i the horses, tnules and horned stock were brought rtp lot itoc fourth day, and tiiider Mr. Randolph's rigid in spection many wele declared wortli- Vfdss ) and, tbongh Mr. Cltumlcy beg ged that some of them might Iw stfiared, as they could be pA’t 'to good use, Mr. Randolph was unrelenting, and All the condemned, including the blind, lame, spavined, fistulated and wind-broken, wore mercilessly shot and buried. As the Weather had been quite eo’d during these days of itiftpWlioUy many of the negToOA, And especially the old, had continued to “play possum," and had never turned out of their cabins to aid in getting tijgethcr the live stock or farming utensils. Mr. Randolph now gave orders that a'l the negroes, old and yotmg, should lie brought to the house ttext day for inspection, and in tho meantime lie nad a good many plain coffins of all sifces made, and suitable graves dug near the chapel. The news of these fearful prepara tions soon penetrated every cabin, and things began to look serious in tire minds of Mr, Cuffoe Black. The negroes knew that Mr. Randolph was a member of Congress and a big man in the country; they knew he was ac customed to havo his way, and nobody attempted to inlolTcre with him, and they fully belived that lie had full power of life and death oVcr them. They knew he was a good, kind mas ter, man and neighbor; but then, they said, he bad “such quarc ways” that there was no tolling what he would do if the uotiou took him. They bad seen how he had burned all the damaged farm implements atid caused the injured and worth less sheep, gouts end horses to be knocked on the head; aVnl how he had shot all the old broken down stock without pity', find now what did lie mean to do with them and with all those coffins and graves! This was exactly the train of reflec tion and comment that Mr. Randolph had calculated upon; and accordingly, on his arrival on the ground, he found an anxious, terrified crowd of negroes and not one was missing—all were there. lie entered and took his seat besido the overseer at a table. Juba, his servant, placed on the table be fore him liix dueling ease open and containg pistols and plenty of ammu nition, “ And they are all here I’’ aeked Mr. Randolph of the overseer. Up spoke a hundred voices, “ Oh, yes, Murst John, wo’s all here.” Cliltmley was ordered to call the list containing the names Of all those who had been old enough to work during one year, but had not worked They were placed in a row, in which stood more than half the grown ne groes. The old shirks and sinners were not slow to see how. the list had been made up, and long before the roll call was ended many of them were on their knees, beseechingly looking from the stern face of their master toward tho pistols and the open graves and many a “Lord-a mercy on me, Murst John,” went up from the line, but Randolph ordered them to be silent. When the last had been called, he squeaked out, “You say Chumley, there Diggers wont work ; that they a e old, worthless and good lor noth ing; that they cannot make enough to eat, and I must buy bread and meat to feed them.” Handing Gbumley, a pair of pis tols, he said: “Chumley, begin at the other end of the line and I’ll begin at this, and ive”l shoot these worthless negroes.” A universal cry went up, and all the negroes hushed tip to Randolph and hetrged in the most pitiful terms for their lives, all declaring that they could work, and that they would never play ’possum and lie up agin. Randoli h finally relented and 3grei and ;o spare them, provided they could give fibeuriiy ainob g tho other no gWeS that would work well in the future. Ko duo coilld have effected ! tdtfeli n genuine scare as Randolph ' did. Tiro negroifi kmlW ttvH bit was ! a strange, eccentric man; that the w holo people of Chailotte a'l but worshipped him; and, they believed implicitly that be would do whnl be said he would do.
