on Saturday evening last, that Markley, wlt
 has been in the Frederick jail fur some time
 on suspicion of heinz the perprtrater of the
 late unpuraIlelled murder tn Harbough's val.
 ley, has made confession, by which two Oth-
 CTS are implicated as fellow helpers in the ronl deed. It was the act Of revenge. They w-nt
 to the house of MT. Newey, and finding the
 door bOlted, worked a hole through the mor.
 tar between the logs, into which one of them
 thrust in his hand and pushed back the bolt. They then entered the house. On Ending
 MT. NeWey's bedroom door fastened, they
 burst tt open-Mr. Newey at this moment awakened and seized his rife, when Marklev ] with an axe gave him blow on the head, and split his skull. Mrs. Ncwey, at this in- l stant, screamed aloud, when one of the mon- sters stopped her ny stabhing her in the breast with butchers knife. By this time the noise below had alarmed the men who were up stairs, and on attempting to get down the stair way they were met with an axe and fell~d.
 Having now accomplished their work of destruction, except despatching the little ones, they. to "cap the climax" of horror, chOak ed those and set fire to all the beds in the house After which they went to little village close ny. Upcn separating there, Markley went to Baltimore, and the other went towards the West. If such confession is true, (and we have it from good source we beleve.) we hope that not only the bird that is caged but those that have winged their way to the pure regions of the west, may als" be caught and caGcd, and meet their just reward in the end.
