W.
We have, this day to record another hor-
Kid murder of 4 family. 1t was perpe.ra-
Ted last night, in New Gravel Lane, Rat
cliffe Highway, withinl less than half a mile
OF the scene of the late barbarous murder of
Mr.. Mars family. Between eleven and
twelve O'Clock, the neighborhood was alarm
ed by man, who stated that he was LODI
ged in the upper part OF the Kings Arms
public house, New Gravel Lane, and that
his name is Turner. He was in bed, and
alarmed by great noise lac went down
stars, where hesaw two men--one in large
watch Coat and the other in a flannel Jack
ct, riiiing the pockets of the mistress, whe
was then laying near the kitchen FIRE. He
Immediately came to the resolution to get
out OF the window, and by the aid of the
bedclothes he effected his purpose, leaving
up stairs in bed, little girl about twelve
wears OF age, the grand daughter of the
landlord. The cry of murder soon coliec-
ted a great crowd, and two stout men, of the
names of Ludgate and Hawse, having arm
ed themselves, went TO the house and broke
open the door, when, horrid to relate, they
found the landlady, Mrs. Williamson, and
the maid servant, quite dead. They were
lying Hat on their backs near the kitchen
fire. leading into the tap room, with their
Threats cut from ear to ear. The wounds
which were very deep, had completely di-
yided the windpipes. The servant maid, an
Irish woman, about 40 years of age, whose
christian name was Biddy, had also a dread
fui wound upon her forehead, six or seven
inches long and two inches deep, which COM
pletely fractured her skull and deep wound
also upon her right arm. Continuing their
search, they found Mr.. Williamson, the land
lord, at the bottom of the cellar stars, with
his head downwards and his feet on the
last step, with his throat cut also in the
uI OH
broken a little above the ANGLE. gold
dubloon, Or louisd'or and some half pence,
were found on the stars which are supposed
tp have dropped out ef his pockets when he
was knocked down. An iron crowbar was
found in the house. Mr. SC Mrs. William
son were each about so years Of age.
AS the house was shut up at eleven O.
clock last night, the murderers, it is pre-
snmed, concealed themselves in it. Mr. Will
hanson had kept it for many years, and was
considered man of property. The back
parlour window was found open the muir
derers escaped by it into field that leads
towards the Docks.

Il is understood chat the President Of the
y. State, ordered Gen. Hampton to send
Col. Gushing to Fredercktown, Md. to at
tend the General Court Martial as a witness
in the case OF Gen. Wilkinson (; and that
Gen. Hampton refused to obey the order.
and sent back the bearer of it, Lieut.. Col.
Backus, with his resignation alledging
thar, as Col. Gushing was in arrest by his
order, the President had no right to inter-
fere.
lfsGen. Hampton was right in refusing to
obey the Presidents order, because Col
Gushing as in arrest, he might be wrong
in liberating Captain Campbell who had
been arrested by Major Bowyer; and if
right in the case of Campbell, wrong in that
Of Cushing.--Gcneral Hampton may Justify
himself in either case if he can,-in both it
is impossible.
Captain Campbell was arrested by Ma
.jor Bowyer, at Fort Stoddert on the S5th of
August last, and on the 5th of December,
(three months and eleven days after his ar
rest) in consequence of his having been cx-
fiosed to an unreasonable length Of confnc-
nent, the General thought ttroher to res
fore him to his SWORD Colonel Gushing was
put under guard at Fort Stoddert by order
OF General Hampton, on the 25th of March;
and lin that degrading and unlawful manner
transported to Baton Rouge where he has
remained in arrest, and confined to a limit
Of one mile round the Fort to the present
time: and there is no prospect CT his being
tried or liberated from arrest, (the un; ca
sonable length of his confinement notwith-
standing) so long as General Hampton is
permitted to govern, and to mismanage the
military affairs of our country in this quarter
