NEWBEKN, AFX I L 38.
The attention of the public has seldom been
directed to facts more horrid and inhuman than
the one we are now called upon to detail.
On
Wednewlay morning last the body of a man who
had been floating in tnc river Trent, a small dis
tance from this town, was dragged by a joat 10
one of the public wharves. A jury of inquest
u*-ie summoned, who after a minute insjection
of the (tody, declared it Wilful Murder. Thé
horrid appearance which the body exhibited was
ample testimony of the correctness of the ver
dict. A rope was tied around the body, to which
another w as attac hed, having Sam stones (weigh
ing about sixty pounds) suspended thereto ; the
tcet were abo bound by a rope, and wounis, in
flicted by the contint* cf a gun or other fire arm
loaded with buck sitôt, were found in the shoul
ders, neck and bead. Two men, whose cimes
we for the present forbear to mention, were im
mediately taken up on suspicion and committed
to jail. On the following day several'witnesses
were examined.whose testimony exhibited stitong
proof against the accused, and at
an exanunxti"
on of one of the prisoners, held at the jail on
SiturUay evening, the murder,., together with
the i ircuinsUnte« under which it had b«en
per
pet rated, were tacitly avowed. It appears that
».ie murder had '.teen committed on Sunday night
the 8th itiM—that in order to prevent tie disco
» ciy, the body was secured as We have described,
and deposited in the channel of Trent river—
that the motives which led to the comnviss'um of
this horrid deed were oecasioocd by the murder
er s lear ol being detected in « recent act of vil
l»my ol which the deceased had been
a specta
tor.
The deceased was about 17 ye«rs of ip*. He
came to this place some w«ki ago with-Cap'

FOR THE GAZETTE.
Mr. Jones —
A writer who sign* himself *'* Icepublieany"
in your Gazette of the 2d inst. has stated that
Kent county had devised an unexceptionable
plan for the election of their committee of con
ference, to meet New Castle and Sussex coun
tie», for selecting a candidate for governor and
representative to congress, and suggests the
necessity to devise some measure to collect the
sense of this county with regard tu /he reitioiml
of the scat of justice, and adds, " if is :,-ft over
for ns to make a free choice of our assemblymen."
He further states that if such are sent forward
who approve the measure, it will bt enacted
info a law. Will those two rubjects harmon
ize the republican citizen» of,New Castle coun
ty as to the mode which the citizens of Kent
county have adopted, and which the writer has
no doubt seen ? i cannot say whether that plan
is unexceptionable cr not. But as to rite mode
hc'pVopose», at-the same lime that a meeting is
to be held iiV Ncxv- Castle county, in order to
select » governor, and a representative to con
gress, a discussion relative to the scat of jut.-
lice, or to devise some means to collect tin
sense of this county on a removal of the seat t>f
justice, would have a tendeuey to defeat the in
tentions of the republicans of the
to in their
goverrior-and representative to congress. The
measures taken for t'; : purpose ot influencing
the minds of the citizens of the county during
the last year, and the exertions made to procure
signatures to memorials on that subject for the
removal of the seat of justice, are yet resol
mi—a list of those who were advocates of tin
ntxastti'c, with ti;'t »motmt of the taxable p, 0 .
