ABDUCTING BURNING POISONING.

1t will be recolleced, that, in the year 1913,
this city was greatly disturbed by the depreda-
tons oil Bleuins, Euing and North upon the
slave property of the citizens until they We're
unprecedented that Blevins was in possession OF
Massachusetts Bank notes. (when arrested not
one month old from the date of issue, sent here
by abolitionsts to be used TO aid in carrying of
slaves and, that the above named tclloys were
old convicts 1t will also be recollected, that
last year Red Boot Smith figured conspicuously
in abducting and boxing up negroes for the abo-
li'ion market. But we understand that all the
aboye-named geAA.men Of the abolition School
have taken quarters at the round topped college
on the Western side of this city, except North
ALIAS Williamson, who, after sentence escaped
from the county Jail. Whether they prompted
any one to the use of fire or poison, while exer.
csing the privilege of the largest liberty, may be
an inquiry worthy of the attention of the police.
men and insurance companies.
But we have been drawn into this reminis-
cence from the fact as we learn, of the arrival
at the Penitentiary from Wood county,) oil
Robert Pugh and George Uhl, who, in 1s4s,
commenced teaching in the same school of phil
anthropy and moral science, which made such
rapid progress during that year in this part OF
the State The offences committed by these
men produced considerable excitement liz Wood
county at the time. and when they came to be
coupled with what was doing here and in seve-
raj other parts of the State, sufficient cause will
be found for the greatest vigilance in every part
of Virginia with reference to the subject Of abo-
lition.
In 1913, PugA was engaged in abducting five
slaves the property of Geo. w. Henderson. In
June following Pugh and UM set fire to barn
of John S. jackson and in August, Uhl poison
ed or attempted to poison horses and other cattle
of Joseph Tomlinson. For these offenses they
have been sent 10 the Penitentiary for five years
each.
What better can be expected from the disci-
Piles of such School in which the Bible is de-
nied, Christian piety repudiated, the Constitution
execrated, the laws Of Congress nulihed, The ju-
dicial authority resisted, and the claimants of
slaves murdered by mobs of all colors!
These are all prominent features in the Prac-
tical morals of Abolition, and may be found in
the faithful records of the times. No good citi-
zen should be long deceived by the hypocrisy
of the leaders of these people. That power to
which the Se,pard School holds obedience, (the
power above the Constitution and oalhs of Of
fee J is power which repudiates the sacred
obligations of religious and moral integrity, in
every form, destroys confidence in the Consttu-
ton itself, and can be no other than the power
which binds together pirates, murderers, traitors,
and other felons, who set at defiance the laws OF
the land. There is so much proof of the con-
nexion of the Abolilicnists, with felons that
there can be no doubt, that the net work as be-
ing spread over the whole country for unity OF
action in deeds of mischief.-Rlch. Enquirer.
