thrown upon the collins, and dirt piled
upon them. The tops Of the collins
were from five to eight inches above the
ground. Many Of the bodies had remain
ed uninterred upon the ground for forty-
eight hours, aud the stencil arising from
the m was such as to drive the people in
the neighborhood from their houses.
The chain-gang. composed of negroes.

Goffns TALL several times before getting
