others, she informed him Of the death
of the children, and added there was
man standing by &em in his shirt
sleeves, his coat eff, aud club in bis
hand. The children were lying 10
such way as entirely 10 conceal their
wounds--about 400 yards from their
fathers house. Whilst the company
were standing around the bodies, Iu-
cinda declared that she thanked Coo
her hands were clean, upon which An
drew also declared tina; bis hands were
clean.
Stephen c. Porter, another witness,
stated that he saw Andrew, who asked
him where his master was---and on be.
ing asked what was the matter, repli.
ed that some person had killed his little
chiIdren--an said he did not know
how they were killed, whether they
had been struck with lightning, or in
what other way.-Fhe clothes Of the
prisoners were brought INTO Court, and
upol inspection were found bespaiter-
ed with blood, and in many parts OF
Lucinda's frock, it was apparent that
the blood was covered with -four, with
the view Of concealins it--and many
specks Of blood were distinctly yisi-
Bile.
There were other witnesses produ-
cod, and among them some OF the
slaves Of Mr.. Mnyse, (who, il appears,
was not at home on the evening OF the
murder) bat the preceding statements
exhibit the principal features Of this
most atroclous transaction.
The two prisoners { Andrew and Luz
cinda) were unanimously found guilty
by the Court, and were condemned to
be executed on Monday, the oath Of
September. The girl Caroline, who
had been admitted as States Evidence,
was recommended TO the mercy Of the
Executive. We understand that her
former master has bound himself in a
very heavy penalty to the Court to sell
her and send her from the county.
Il appears from all accounts, that the
family had been very indulgcnt towards
the slaves--that the want of authority
operated upon such too malignant aud
reckless spirits, so as to produce the
preparation of two Of the most cold
booded and atrocious murders which
the present day has produced. 1t
thrills the blood of every humane per-
son, to see two such tender and help
less innocents fall victims 20 the de
mon like passions oftwo such tiends.

FRoM VERMONT we have enough to
know that Jennison (Whig) is re-elec-
ted Governor by an increased majority
which which will probably run up to
5000; and that MIR. Fletcher adm. \
is reelected to Congress. In the Ca
madam district, the Locofoco papers
claim the election of Mr.. John Smith
over Homan Allen, whose vote upon
the neutrality bill was unpopular in
that latitude. while the Wing papers
say there is no choice. All we can
ascertain for certainty is, that the run
IS very close; but the probability is
that John Smith is elected. The

CORN CROP IN VIRGINIA.

The Farmers Register, under date

report of the Corn Crop prospects in
Virginia - based, as the Editor SAYS,
either upon his own personal knowl-

table aud intelligent correspondents
and observers of the scenes described.
AS such, the report may be considered
throughout Of an authentic charac-
ter:

even average crops of corn being ex-
pected; and two gentlemen from that
county are the only persons heard
from, who expect themselves to wake
better than average crops. Also, ON

are expected. Some Of the pooter

Stunning countenance and during that
whole period not one friendly cloud
has obscured his disk or shielded US
from his deadly gaze. Our rivers are
gone, our watercourses are dried up,
our wells have sunk. The memory Of
our oldest men does not recall the
equal Of this heavy calamity and, as
II to show US that the phials OF wrath
are not emptled, the sun yet stares up.
on us with undying energy. High
colo winds sweep over our blasted
fields, aud, like messengers of desoa.
ton, penetrate the bowels of the earth,
in search OF the punv, feeble life which
yet remains to vegetation.
Amidst this destruction of their sub
stance, the energy OF our farmers is in
no way damped. Their countenances
are unchanged, and bespeak the same
confidence in their own industry, and
their unshrinking faith in the bengnanl
Justice of Heaven. ln all directions
