| ARRAY and Murder!-A most shocking outrage was
committed in Kentucky, about eight miles from this
place, on the 14th inst negro driver, by the name
of Gordon, who had purchased in Maryland about GO
negroes including all sizes and ages was taking Them
assisted by associate named Allen and the WAGNER
who conveyed the baggage, to the Mississippi The
men were handcufed and chained together in the usual
manner for driving those poor wretches, while the wo
men and children suffered to proceed withoutn-
tcumbrance. 1t appears that, by of file, the
negroes, unobseyed, had succeeded in separating the
irons which bound their hands, in such way as to be
able to throw them off at any moment. About eight
O'Clock in the morning, while proceeding on the state
road leading from Greenup to Vanceburg, two of them
dropped their shackes and commenced fight, when
the wagner. Petit rushed in with his whip to compel
them to desst. AT this moment every negro was found
perfectly at liberty and of them sezing club
gave Petta violent blow the head and laid him dead
at his feet and Allen, who had to his assistance
met similar fate from the contents of pistol fred
by another of the gang. Gordon was then attacked
seized and held by of the negroes while another
fired twice at him with pistol the ball of which each
time grazed his head but not proving efectual he was
beaten with clubs and left for dead They then com
menced plaging the wagon, and with an axe split op-
the trunk of Gordon, red it of the money, about
400 sixteen of the negroes then took to the woods
Gordon in the mean me not being materially injured
was enabled by the assistance of of the women, to
mount his horse and flee pursued, however, by one of
the gang on another horse, with drawn pistol. For
tunaely he escaped with his life barely arriving at
plantation as the negro came in sight who then turn
ed about and retreated.
The neighborhood was Immediately rallied, and
hot pursuit given-which understand has resulted
in the capture of the whole gang, and the recovery of
the greater part of the money.
Seven of the negro men and one woman, it is said,
were engaged in the murders, and will be brought to
trial at the next court of Greenupsburg.

Lines on the death of Miss E. b., late of Brandytoie
We gay ones give ear to my paintive tone,
mourn the loss of beautiful one
Who has gone to the grave; she lies there now
with Deaths icy hand on her lily brow;
And The loathsome worm holds fellowship
With her snowy cheek and her stainless lip;
And her sylph-like form, in the cold damp clay
Is moudern- and wasting fast away.
Oh We fair ones weep-her young life is Ger,
And her sweet voice earth IS heard no MORE
How sudden the change-but the other day
She was fair as the first sweet flower Of May,
And her step was free as the mountain Fawn's
When he roams the hills ere the morning dawns;
Aud her bright eye roi'd in its liquid light,
Bit now it is closed in DEATHS dreary night.
Oh tyrant DEATH twas a cruel thing
To tear her away in the sunny spring,
Willie the Earth Is gay to the ardent eye,
AID tine Young hearts pulse beats so fervently;
When the flowers perfume, and the wild Bird song,
Our affections charm they float along,
And the vide world seems like fowery field
Taat doth rich harvest of pleasure yield.
Oh It's hard TO die in the pleasant spring,
en- eladness floats on the zephyrs soft wing.
And Nature is laying her colors
The heahery hills and the verdani lawn,
And the air with deep rich chorus s~es
A. it breahes DER the streams and the woody dells.
Bit why do mourn in this sadden'd strain,
Would call her back to this life again
No-earth hath its joys, but how brief their stay;
Its beautiful things, but they fade away; IS
Oh no, would moi she again here.
For her Spirits at rest, in happier sphere
When the stars come out in the clear blue sky,
And the bamy breeze goes whispering by,
Then iii go to the grave of the fond and fair
And breathe the deep thought of my sad heart there.
