Shocking Afair.--The Petersburg Express, {

Shocking Affair.-The Petersburg Express, OF
Saturday, has the following
We received al late hour last night the par
tculars OF revolving affair which has just trans
pired in the county of Sussex, on the same farm
at which the bloody transaction published by us a
few months since occurred. From all we hate
been enabled TO ascertain, it appears that Mr..
Henry Birdsong, whose little son was killed by his
side, and himself dangerously wounded few
months since, so cruelty whipped and beat one of
his negroes on Tuesday night last that he died in
few hours Mr. b.. gentleman informs us, had
given orders 10 his negroes that they were TO re-
port themselves TO him at his dwelling every night
at an early hour. On Tuesday night last they
failed to do so, and upon one OF his boys coming
into the house get his Birdsongs Shoes 10 clean,
he was called 10 account for his disobedence.
Mr.. b. being unusually rigorous and severe with
his servants generally, the boy expected whip
ping and ran out of the house TO escape il. Mr..
B. followed him closely, and calling very fero-
cous dog, (of the bull species) started the animal
in pursuit of the fugitive also The dog soon over
took and bit him very seriously before he was
taken of. Mr.. B. then tied the boy and whipped
and beat him so that he died in few hours. These
facts coming TO the knowledge OF the coroner,
jury was summoned, and an inquest held, which
resulted in the finding of verdict, that deceased
came 10 his death by sundry blows, etc. inflicted
by his master Henry Birdsong. A warrant was
issued for the arrest of Birdsong, which was exc
cuted on Thursday. The accused was mmedi-
