 We were yesterday given the particulars Of murder committed few days ago tn the neighborhOod of Mayock. Curriiuck county, N. o., and although we cannot doubt their correctness tn substance, yet, for particular reasons, "e deem 1t advisable to suppress, for the present, the name of the indie idual alledg- ed to have committed the horrid act. Our informant states that he rode home with a neighbor of his. whose servant, a free. but in- dented, negro hoy. came out t0 take the hOr-' ses as they reached the house, and taking that of his master first. the other individual flew into great rage, insisting that the hoy should have taken his first; and, finally, seized pal ing and attacked the boy with it, who picked up a shovel and warded of the blows, until ordered by his master to get out of the wXy of his inftlriated assailant, and he then rar ol. Thus disappointed in wreaking his wanton vengeance on the inoffensiye negro, he ran in- to the house to grta gun, swearing he V Ould shoot him but the owner of the house had prudently hid it. Determined. however. not Co, l,,k kof 4l.,I sO :f-o mounted his horse, rode fhree miles tO the house of an acquaintance. from whom he bor- rOwed gun, and returning in the evening, deliberately swent into the kitchen where lils boy was. and shot him dead On the spot
 He then remounted his horse. and abscOnded. What the character of the testimony against him is we are not informed; hut we learn the verdict of the Inquest charges him with hay ing committed the deed. He is said tO bs from New Jersey. of a respectable family. but . grossly addicted to intemperance-iH a Iar gone fit of which, it is understood. (and may readily be csedited) he perpetrated the h0ni- icide. Our informant states that ie- either was. or is now. in this borough, being on his way to New York.
