CRUELTY TO SLAvE.-The Lexington (Mo.)
Express has an account of the death of slave
at the hands of his master, Josephus Hicklin,
from which we make following extract. The
fend has not yet been arrested:
ssThe only fault alleged against the negro
was that he was dissatisfied with his master, and
wanted to be sold, and that he was lazy. For
these alleged offences the negro was put to the
torture Outside of the Book Of Martyrs it
would be hard to find any case that in point of
cruelty affords a parallel to this Mrs Stoves
imagination furnished no case upon which this
is not an Improvement. The lash, fire, gouging,
beating over the head with heavy clubs, the
rubbing Of cayenne pepper and tobacco in his
eyes, etc, were some of the appliances used
not for single hour, single day, or single
week, but every day, for more than three weeks
until he died.
