DIsCHARGED.-It will be recollected that some
days ago a negro man named Archy. belonging to
MIR. James Dunn, was arrested on the charge of
having run over negro boy named James, belong
ing to Mr. Morgan, Of Vicksbnrg The injuries re-
ceived by the boys being run over caused his
death. Yesterday, Archy, the accused, was ex-
amined before the Recorder of the First Municipal
y, and was fully exonerated from the charge, as it
was proved that the boy himself had run in the
way of the horse whilst crossing the street in COM
pany with some other lads. We learn however,
that civil suit will be entered by the agent of Mr.
Morgan IN this city, against Mr.. Dunn for the re-
covery of the value OF the slave killed. -
