EXECUTION.

Negro John, the slave OF Mr. Richardson, Of
Clarke, convicted of the murder of John Colbert, OF
this county, in November last was hung on Friday,
26,h ut., pursuant TO sentence passed upon him by
the County Court Of Berkeley at tho January
form. The galIows was erected at the West end
oftown, in one of c. d. Stewart's fields.
The escort, formed oe the Berkeley Cavalry,
Capt. J. f. BoYD, and La Fayete Guards, Capt.
JoHS 5. HARsIsoN, arrived at the jail about ! /
o'clock. Tho unfortunate man then made his APP
pearance, clothed in his shroud and was seated on
his coffin in vehicle, provided TO carry him to the
place OF execution. As the procession moved out
King street, John sang parts of hymns, in a clear,
sonorous voice, apparently more indifferent to his
fate than any Of the vast crowd which surrounded
him. In short time the cuprlt arrived at the gal.
lows-upon which hs mounted attended by our re.
sident Lutheran Minister. After the Reverend
gentleman had read portion Of scripture to him,
hymn was sung, and prayer offered in behalf OF
the poor man. John then made some remarks To
the surrounding mass; and, although our position
was not eligible to hear, we gathered 40 iis
subslance-that he did not intend to kill Colbert, bu
only TO wound him, so as to escape from his grasp
that he hoped The people would forgive and PITY
him that they would make their peace with Hea
ven--sihce his misfortune was brought upon him b,
his srrors and then, wishing them oil WE'LL" b.
