Horrible Murder. Andrew Young, Of
Montgomery county, and his wife, were both
murdered in most shocking and brutal manner
on Sunday last, by one of his own negro men,
The circumstances so far as we have been able
to learn them, are as follows: On the evening be-
fore the murder, the negro was about leaving
homeland was told by his master that he must
return early the next Sunday morning, to catch
the horses for his (Mr, Y.'s) daughters to ride to
a Methodist Canp-meeting, and perhaps to 60
with them, and take care Of the horses at the
meeting. He did not return, however, until III
or l1o'clock, when he went into the garden
where Mrs. Young was picking strawberries,
and on being scolded by her and threatened win
chastisement, he took up an axe, struck her 10
the ground, and continued his blows until he &C.
vered her head from her body. He then went IN
direction to meet Mr.. Young, who had been
some distance from his house, and was returning,
and told him that he had killed his mistress and
would kill him, which fell purpose he too fatally
executed by beating him with an axe, 1.-THE same
used upon his mlstress.) until his brains were
knocked out and his body most horribly mang!ed'
There was no other white person about the place
at the time of the murder. The negro had
been raised about the house Of Mr.. Young, and
was much INDUCED. He says himself, $50 stat
ed our informant) that bis master had not struck
him for upwards of five years. He IS now saie'
Iy lodged in the Jail Of Montgomery county.

 lnone of the latest English journals we find the following account of re markibles sabterraneous fires which have been witnessed in Geneva and its neighborhood. The article is dated Lake Of Geneva, August I9.
 The extraordinary heat which has prevailed almost without interruption tor nine weeks, has produced pheno= meaon Ill the countries bordering our 3ake to which there IS no parallel onie- cofd. 1t Geneva a spontaneous com busl!an took place III tile church yard oi pisIa , ilais though in rather q damp piii3 {ptaaa paias.)

This snoterraneous fire therefore. con suned 25D acres of fne forest.

We can hardly believe the following narrative to be true.

THE VIRGINIA CLAIMS.

Sometime since, made an erroneous statement
of the sum dispensed to Virginia by the Bill now
before Congress. The Charlottesville Advocate,
having access to better information, corrects us.
We are glad TO find that erred on the safe side.
"THE VIRGINIA CLAIMS The bills which
has passed the Senate by unanimous vote, pro-
vdes for the adjustment Of the ENTIRE claim of
the State of Virginia against the United States.
The Richmond Wing in referring to this sub
lect some weeks since, stated that the bill re.
ported called for the liquidation of these claims.
PROVIDED the whole amount did not exceed about
S240,000 This is not the case. The bill ap
proprlaies the sum of Sl3o ,543.G6, that be-
ing the amount which the State of Virginia has
already paid-and S241,345, the amount Of the
Judgments Which have been rendered against
the Commonwealth but not yet paid. The bill
inrther provides for the payment of the outstand-
ing haIfpay claims for which the state of Virg-
MA is bound. The amount of these latte r
claims cannot be accurately known, until they
are presented. Bills are also in progress under
the most favorable auspices, providing for the
payment OF interest on advances made by Virgil
mia, during the late war, and also for making up
the deficiency Of the Virginia Military bounty
lands. to the officers and soldiers of the State
lire during the revolution.
D.: "Thc State Of Virginia will doubtless appre-
ciate the value of Mr.. Gilmer's services, in the
management and recovery of these claims
which have long been regarded as lost, and
which would have been so, but for the industry
and zeal with which he has investigated them
and the ability with which he has urged them
upon the justice of the General Government
The result reflects much honor UPON the agent
and is highly gratifying to his fricnds"

off these remarks arc applicable TO the exist
ing state of things with how much more truth
ana iorce will they apply to that which we ma y
anticipate, and us the result too of tho present
years legislation. The Legislature has passed
law, which has for its object the removal ofIho
free colored population of Virginia, from the Ii
mits oil the State. Coercion, however, is not to
no fcsorted TO. The Legislature very wisely
ana humaney refuse TO make FORCE part If

| e rect the same end, though by Different aud we
think, more cXceptioDabe means. We aIudc
TO that fcnture IN the Police Bill, already passed
oy The House of Delegates, which denies to
those Tree negroes who refuse 10 avail themselves
OF the means offered by the State for cmgrating
TO Liberia, the privilege of exercising any trade
or hondicrat art whatever. One can hardly be-
licve IT possible that such bill has in reality re-
ccived the sanction of any body of men respecta-
BILE and intelligent as the Virginia Legislature.
Yet such is the fact. Is this mercy to the free
negro? Is it clcmency in the State to say to
HIM, eve will not force you t" go to Liberia, bit
you shall not lice herel" This surely tho Ian
guage which the Legislature speaks. 1t is in our
estimation measure infinitely more odious, than
open and nvowcd compulsion. 1t is cruel and bar
barous in the last degree Nor is it less cruel and
UNJUST towards society generally, than towards
