White, of Newton county, Geor gia, on the 27th April, 1833, by three of his ser vants, we are indebted to “ A citizen of Newton county.” The whole narrative is too long for insertion entire; we can find room for such parts of it only as give the most succinct and connect ed history of this deplorable tragedy. We re gret to omit anv portion of it, but we had no choice between leaving out a part, or depriving i our readers of the whole. After giving some account of the deceased, and 1 of the murderers, Sophia, the instigator; a young . man Warren a confidential servant, who was the actual perpetrator, and an old man Anderson, with whom they appear to have advised and counselled throughout, the nanative proceeds : “It will be found in the sequel, that Warren had made a frank and full confession of the whole matter, hence, whence the girl was put on her trial, he was called on to relate the whole | transaction, from the commencement, until it was finally consumated. He said that after his j master first brought the girl home, she went to work, and for a few days did very well,; but soon began to complain, saying she could not stand such hard work, and observed “now Warren, if i you would kill master, we should get clear of j work altogether ” He observed I will not do , any such thing, mine is a good master, if you will do right, and I would sooner kdl you, than him, ‘ cvertheless, he says she continued to wea ry him, giving him no peace, day nor night; but her in 'cssant solicitations was to kill him—the above entreaties, he withstood from the com mencement, until the evening of the fourth day of April, the many efforts used byher, during the intervening time alluded to, would be tedious I and uninteresting.” The boy by his own account, still resisted her impunities, till his master chastised him for a disobedience of some order. She seized that opportunity, like her master, the Tempter, of in fusing her diabolical counsel; and, smarting as he was with his recent punishment, he yielded. | “ Warren returned to the field, they had left the over evening to finish some rows of corn, that was laid off, but not planted, by dropping and covering them with his feet; as Sophia had to assist about breakfast, and the field some dis tance from the house, Mr. White thoughtit least, loss of time, not to leave home until he hail got breakfast. W'hen he arrived at the fatal field, W r arren had planted all the unfinished rows of corn, and was standing at the plough, ready to commence covering corn, with his hoe in his hand, so soon as his master should lay off any rows. Mr. White, no sooner than arrived at his plough c mmenced preparing for business by hitching his horse ; but just at the moment of setting out he discovered the hook ol his back band had come loose, and sent Sophia round to hitch the same.—Just then she whispered to Warren, “ now is your time.” He says, he still declined, not fully come to the resolution to kill him ; again, as Air. W’hite adjusted his line, she again whispered—he still paused—she now see ing White ready to set out and fearing lest no other favorable opportunity might offer, she com menced nodding and winking at him. W T arren ; said he then, thought to motion his hoe at his j master, to please Sophia, and as he motioned, ! he says (horrid to tell) something came in him, and at one full sweep, the mortal blow levelled poor White to the ground ; he then gave him one other blow in the breast. The first strik ing him on the right side of the head, above hi car. At this moment, he says Sophia broke ought in a loud laugh, and broke to run, he stop ped her he said, to help him secrete his master. Sophia observed, I will run over to uncle Ander son, to know what to do with him. Now’ this same old man was working in a field near where all thishappened. After some considerable ab sence Sophia returned, and says, “ Uncle An derson says tie. him to the plough—make the horse drag him across the field, then run home and tell mistress the horse has runaway with the plough and killed master.” Warren then takes Air. Whites right hand, tied it to the cross bar of the plough, and made the horse drag him one hundred and eighty steps diagonally across the field to the draw bars, leading to the house; with much difficulty could the horse be made to drag him fastened in the manner pointed out, hence much time had been occupied; between the time of knocking him down, and getting to the aforesaid bars, although the boy had made several efforts to run his head against the end of a log heap, making out as though the horse in dragging him against said logheap, had pro duced the wounds visible on his head, but lo and behold, in lieu of the effects desired, White at this moment, seemed as if he was recovering from the first blows, and likely to return again to life. Warren who had all the while clung to the aforesaid hoe, seeing his master’s situation, and as he says fearing the consequences, again leveling the fatal weapon, gave him the third blow, which sinking deep in his scull, terminated his mortal existence, though'he lived some hours afterwards. Sophia had been dispatched home to tell the news, and alarm the family of her master’s situation, they proceeded somedistance when they met Warren with Mr. W’hitc on his shoulder, as though he had been a hog, they made him lay him down, and after wiping the blood from his mouth, he seemed to breath some better, they- then had him carried home, in a style more decent, yet to attempt a description of White’s situation and appearance, would be difficult to be done, having been dragged through the ploughed ground the distance above men tioned, bleeding excessively from the first and last blow, no sight upon earth, could have been It comes, tii e Herald ofa Golden World. more horrid and appalling, to a tender and affec tionate wife, brother and mother-inlaw. Tha scene at this moment assumes an aspect beyond our graphic powers to delineate ; but a few hours previous. Airs. White and her now orphan babe, with Mrs. Hudson, the mothcr-in law, had parted, the one with a husband, the other a son-in-law, bearing in his agility and movement, all the vigor of life and animation, to pursue the avocation of his farm, little did any of this distressed group, while at the break fast table, dream or imagine the horrid catastro phy, that should shock their sight, ere the sun had poured his perpendicular rays upon the earth. Hear let every husband, parent, wife and friend, fill up in his imagination, the scene that cannot he properly described with the pen. Wc heard one of the neighbors remark, that such a sight he never saw in all his life, he had bled profusely, and in his gore of blood, had been I dragged through the ploughed ground, until the horrid spectacle was awful to look upon. White ; still breathing at long intervals, showed how hard it had been to murder a man, possessing such nerve and power as he did; but the fatal deed was done, in two hours, he languishing ! breathed his last. Warren the murderer, was asked, how all this j , had happened, where was he, and why he did | not aid to prevent it, faltering and appalled, he said, “I did run across the field to head the horse.” With this account all seemed for the moment satisfied ; in a few moments the news flew far and wide, collecting in a short time ma ny neighbors together. They had proceeded so far as to lay him out, had sent the undertak ers for the coffin, and the said hoy with others, ito digaing his grave. Whilst one of the neigh bors sitting near the CC”p.?C, concluded to exam ine how the line had been fastened around his hand, to have produced such fatalconsequenccs; when, lo anti behold, on his left hand no line had been fastened, which was obliged to have been the case, in ploughing with a single line; hut awful to tell, aiound his right wrist, was a deep blue mark, made by a cord under great pressure; no sooner than this discovery was made, it struck him like an electric shock, that foul play had been shown the deceased. He immediately rose up, saying to several of the neighbors, let us go and see where the horse ran away, and moreover trace the iootsteeps of the boy, who says he ran across the field to head him. After arriving at the field, no such footstpes could be traced as would have been necessary, to have done, as the boy said he did. As they pioceeded in their examination, every I new circumstance confirmed suspicion ; pro-! gressing onward, to where Warren had picked i up White an his shoulder, in the corner of the j fen'-e lay this fatal hoe, which had done the \ deed, with the murderous ensigns sticking in the jagod end, where particles of White’s hair was easily seen, attached to the wedge, which con fined the helve. Suspicion was at once relieved, and the facts of a cruel murder were visable to all present. They returned to :he house, communicating their discovery, and developing such a concaten ation of circumstances, that to have doubted, | would have indicated want of sanity the thing was now placed beyond doubt. While Warren the perpetrator of this horrid act, was employed in digging his masters grave, one of the gentle men present, went to where he was employed, and as ho stooped to throw out a spadeful of dirt, he reached i ver, and placing his hand in his colar, said “ come out here young man, wi will soon have your grave dug.” Then taking the boy to the scene where the whole had been transacted, he frankly owned his guilt and crime; pleading by way of excuse, and in extenuation of his dreadful act, Si phia’s agency throughout the whole transaction, as above related. Warren and Sophia was immediately arrested, and carried to Covington, where after examina tion by three magistrates, they were committed lo prison, to wait a more full investigation of their crimes.— W hile at the same time, Warren’s \ confession implicated Anderson, the old man, i and Aggy, an old woman, the mother of Sophia, these two additional individuals were arrested, and lodged in Covington jail. If it appeared on ; the traverse of Aggy’s case, that she had coun seled and advised her daughter to a certain ex tent, suffice it to say for this old woman, she was on her trial found guilty by the jury ; never theless as some extenuating circumstances in her favor appeared on trial, applicationwasmade to his Excellency, he granted her a respite, hence as her fate is yet suspended we shall say nothing more of her. On the twelfth day of April, the Judges of the Inferior Court of New ton county, convened at the Court House, hav ing picviously had, thirty-six jurors summoned to attend the trial ofthe accused ; here the scene became imposing, and one circumstance gave great solemnity to the occasion. When Sophia was put upon her trial; we saw the Sheriff make room, through a dense crowd, for certain ladies, and by the ensigns of black it was easily seen the bereaved widow, and her mother, mingling in the throng to hear Warren detail more fully than we have written, all the minute circumstan ces connected with this calamitous affair. He mounted the steps appointed for witnesses to occupy, and in an audible (though negro like language,) developed the whole tiansaction from | first to last; he spoke of his master in terms of j approbation and regret ; acknowledging he had j done wrong, and for the wrong, was perfectly j willing to die. He spoke ofdeath with seeming indifference ; and to the last, manifested heroic fortitude, that deserved a better cause. Suffice it to say that Warren and Sophia, received their ■ sentence of death with that calmness and indif ference, that Bonaparte heard the Prussians had t joined the Russians against him. Old man An i derson heard this sentence with some concern, ’ the tear of sympathy stole down his cheek ; but i the other two, received it with that stare of in s difference, that manifested their extreme insen sibility on the awful occasion ,j** * * * We have now arrived to the conclusion of the whole matter, which was consummated on Fri day the twenty-sixth of April; early in the morn ing the people commenced assembling, and be fore the final catastrophe, so large an assemblage of people, our eyes have never looked upon. At eleven o’clock, the guard collected around I the jail, at the foot ofthe platform a wagon was | ready to receive them, with their coffins in it. Previous to their apearance, and individual had j been sent into the jail with suitable clothing, for each to appear solemn and imposing, so much so, that so soon as the prison doors opened, three individuals appeared, shining in whiteness, dressed emblematical of the grave. The sight was truly imposing; they had clean white hand kerchiefs, bound round their heads; also shirts, ‘ pantaloons, and other suitablehabilaments: with j ! ropes around each of their necks—They seem- : j ed to cast a wild stare upon the immense mul- I titude ; yet with agility mounted the ear, and as the procession moved forward to the gallows they sung “Farewell my dear brethren, &c.” When the wagon had reached the destined spot, that was to terminate their earthly existence, the ; guard formed a circle around the gallows, in which vacancy all the children under twelve years of age was requested by the Sheriff, to fill up this space ; all matters arranged to suit the occasion, the Rev. John J ones, mounted in | front ofthe criminals, delivered a most feeling and interesting discourse from the following words; SO psalm, 14 and 15 verses, “ Justice and judgement are the habitations of thy throne; mercy and truthshall go before thy face; blessed are the people that know- the joyful sound, they shall walk, oh Lord! in the light of thy coun tenance.” I After the discourse was ended, the Sheriff told the criminals they were at liberty toaddress the people if they wished. The two men did so, expressing much of contrition and resigna tion. The woman said nothing. The awful moment, the last allowed to their existence at length arrived.—Their support was removed ; and their fate was fixed lor eternity. (From the Philadelphia Times.) SCENES UPON THE OCEAN. BY HOB BUNTING. j The Conroy. —We had been detained in the j port of Kingston for several days, waiting the j departure of an English Convoy, the day of sailing had at length arrived, and we were waft ed gracefully to sea by the trade wind, which blew fresh and favorable, and promised with its continuance a speedy arrival in the United States. The fleet was composed of at least forty sail, vessels of all nations, who had like us, sought the Convoy’s protection from the many piratical cruisers, which at that time in fested the shores of the West India Islands.— There might have been seen the clumsy Hol lander, and the more fragile vessel of Spain; the laroe unwieldly barque of Russia, and the light felucca of the Mediteranian; the strong and handsome Englishman, and the beatitiil fast sailing trader of the United States; the high black lugger of Bremen, and the long low i mis r of Portugal, nil with their flowing can vass set, gracefully ploughing the green waves ofthe Atlantic. I embarked in an American ship, bound for the port of Baltimore, a truly noble vessel, and 1 felt a secret pride thrill my veins as I cast my eyes along the tapering spars, suffering them to rest upon the well trimmed head rigging and bellying topsail; there was not a brace, stay, or haulyard, but was drawn to its respective place, and the light foot ropes hung ’ j n graceful curves from the numerous yards in I beautiful contrast with the running and standing I rigging. On decK every thing presented as neat i an appearance as aloft—the guns were newly 1 painted 1 , and hound to their places with widely ! plaited breeching, the deck had been cleared ot j every fibre of useless stuff - , and the running rig ! ging hung from the cleets and belaying pins in beautiful coils. When I had finished my sur vey of her appearance, I turned almost invol untarily towards the stem, and suffered my gaze to fall upon the star spangled banner, which rolled in graceful folds from the main gaff the guardian of all this beauty —the protector oi all this elegance. Our Captain was a large and finely moulded man, but the most distant and tacit being I had ever encountered; be would stand for honrs j leaning over the tafirail and gazing in the blue deep of the ocean, as if he could read therein some deeply facinatirtg page of futurity; his eyes were grey and deeply sunken, yet they glowed with an almost unnatural lustre, and seemed to i search and be satisfied of your most secret thoughts with a glance ; to a superficial obser ver he appeared a being illy calculated to gain the affections of mankind; yet every one on board loved him, and appeared to take pleasure in executing his mandates; there was some thing so singularly and impressively interrest |mg in the expression of his countenance | j something so stern, so noble, and so decisive,; ! that I felt as I gazed upon him, that his like 1 j should never behold again as my eyes fell from the banner of my country they encountered ms, he had been observing me for some time, anil felt that his penetrating glance was master ol my feelings. 4 American.’ said he, advancing. j ‘these hands were the first that raised yon proud j banner to a gaff; I fought, bled, and conquered I under your stars and stripes and while the arm that first reared it is left me, it shall never be lowered in submission to created man.’ I could make no answer to his speech, but I grasped his hand with a pressure which indicated far more than words could express: after a moment’s pause he looked around to observe that none w'ere within hearing, and again resumed. ‘Yes, stranger, I once shot a man dead for laying his hands upon the hauiyards with the intent ot striking that proud banner to a foeman,’ A fierce though animated light for a moment illumi nated his expressive eye,and then turning abrupt ly away, he strode to a distant part of the quar ter deck, with a manner which seemed to for bid further intercourse; this singular man made a deep impression upon me, and I resolved to stu dy him well during the voyage. There was a general movement amongst the ship’s company, and the eyes of all on board were turned towards the squadron, and then, inquiringly on the Captain as if to hear and obey his commands. His Britarvc Majesty’s ship Hyperion, had overhauled the squadron, and infoimed them by signals, that the Duke of Clarence, now VN illiani the Fourth, King of England was on board. In a few minutes the peak of every vessel in the fleet, save ours, was lowered, and for a while nothing was heard on the waste of waters, but the creaking sheaves as the hauiyards sped swiftly through the blocks ; peak after peak, fell in honor of the royal passenger, but the gaff of of our vessel was motionless, and reared its proud head, while all around had submissively fallen. When I learnt the cause of this move ment. I turned towards the Captain, and never shall I forget the ghastly smile, that at that mo ment played around his lips. ‘Fools!’ he mut tered, ‘ inions to do homage to the hoy whose father’s foot is on their necks—by heavens Id suffer death before my peak should bow to their effeminate pup of the purple,’ and he cast his eyes jealously along the spotless canvass. ‘John liuli seldom allows such disrespect to go unpunished;’ whispered Bob Barnacle, ‘see they are lowering the yawl from the davits for the purpose of hoarding us, and it the judement of an old seamen don’t deceive him, we shall have some heaving of iron before the squall blows over.’ * I hope nothing serious may ac crue to us,’ said I. The naval veteran shook his head important ly as he answerred, ‘the captain is like a Dutch lugger in a blow.’ As the veteran concluded, he moved away, leaving me to conjecture the meaning of his mysterous sentence. Again I turned my attention to the commander, for a moment he regarded the yawl as it left the ship’s side, and then folding his arms, he continued to pace the quarter deck until its arrival. Our in dependent hearing had been perceived by the whole squadron and the eves ol men, of more than one nation, were turned upon us with jeal ous curiosity, and a thrill of national pride tra versed my veins as I contemplated the proud sense of freedom we had so nobly displayed, yet we had committed a daring, it not a rash action, and there was no alternative but to fol low it up manfully, or disgrace the proud pen nons that floated over us, in presence of the cit izens of almost all the Christian nations ot Eu rope; the dark man who paraded the quarter, was the sole being upon whom was rested the responsibility of our country’s honor; his com mand might exalt us in the eyes of many a jealous rival, or on the other hand might render us an object oi contempt and ridicule ; but al that moment I felt a certainty of conviction, that our commander would honorably finish the work ho had so nobly begun. The English yawl had now arrived and a young midshipman, arrayed in all the naval finery of his nation, ascended the ship’s side, and sprang upon the deck. ‘ Are your peak hauiyards choked, or has your mizen down-hauls given way, that you re fuse to drop your gatl to his Grace the Duke of Clarence?”—asked he,gazing severally on those around in order to discover the commander. ‘Neither, young man,’ was the calm reply of our captain. ‘Then why have you dared to insult tne flag of Grcal Britain on the high seas?’ demanded the youth, with an impertinent and cocknied air. ‘Are you not fearful that we will in flict the ehaslizeroent you so richly deserve! V park of anger flashed in the eyes of our commandant, but it instantly passed away, and he calmly replied, ‘no boy, I am not fearful of receiving punishment at your hands — nor shall my peak or banner ever be lowered to the cross of England while I have life to lose in its defence.’ ‘By Saint George, sir Rebel, you speak taun- I tinglv of my country’s prowess,’ exclaimed the midshipman, ‘more such languge as that might tempt us to tear that rag ot thine from the gatl and trample it beneath our lcet. At this disgraceful allusion to our flag, the : lips of our commander quivered with concealed race, and turning to one of the sturdy seamen that lined the deck, he vocifeiated, ‘Barnacle throw that man overboard.’ ‘Ay, ay, sir,’ ex claimed the veteran, and seizing the slight form ol the midshipman, he hoisted him over the gurw wale and plunged him into the sea beneath, j A roar of laughter ensued amongst the sons of Neptune, and even the British seamen were observed to chuckle with smothered delii lit as they drew him dripping from the briny element and shoved off to return. When the yawl which contained the exaspcra'ed midshipman had arrived at the side of the British vessel, a irenera! stir was observed on her decks. 1 e <5 NO. io.
