The Court issued a peremptory order
that the press should not publish detailed
testimony, as it would render the getting Of
a jury before the Circuit Court impossible.
Various witnesses who had been made pris-
oners by the insurgents testified as to the
acts of instruction The prisoners were
then remanded for trial before the Circuit
Court. The testimony was subsequently
sent to the Grand Jury, who found true
bills against all the prisoners.
1t is said that it is the intention of the
prosecution to proceed with the execution
of the prisoners Immediately after their
conviction.
The Court has refused to allow any one

NAT TURNER, THE VIRGINIA HDRo.-At a
time when the public mind is, to great
extent, centered upon the case Of the man
and the hero, John Brown, who has offered
himself a sacrifice for the sake of liberty,
it is fitting that the people, should inform
themselves upon that and kindred sub
jects. In 1880, Nat Turner made his ap-
pearance in an effort to release his race
from the trammels of American slavery.
That effort was made in the same ancient
dominion where the present hero now lin
gers. 1t will be interesting, therefore, to
listen to the eloquent j. Sella Martin next
Wednesday evening, in his lecture on
Nat Turner" That will be an opportu-
nifty for seeing what degree of interest the
people really take in such a subject, and
in what direction their sympathies really
run. There seems to have been provi-
dence in the selection of this subject and
the orator who is to set it forth. We hope
that the capacity of Shiloh Church will be
duly tested on the occasion It will be
not simply a compliment to the Anglo
African Committee and to the lecturer, but,
We warrant, qualification seldom to be en-
joyed.

OUR JAMAICA LETTER.

JAMAICA, L. l., Oct. Is. 1859
DEAR AGAIN / am at this little
village with its snow-white houses, level
streets, church-spires, and vacant lots; to
the joy, I hope, of many little friends who
during the past year travelled hand inland
with me through the same alley of life,
attended the same church, the same Sab
bath-school But, dear me, how many
changes have found-"such is human
life" The places where once groups OF
merry children played, are now lonely and
assume a gloomy aspect; familiar seats are
vacant, the Sabbath-school dreary, we do
not rally there as we used to, we cannot
sing that lively little hymn now, L have a
Father in the promised land" WhyI
Because it is too expressive of our feelings,
tears come in our eyes, the pale-faced mes
senger, Death, has been here; many dear
little faces are numbered with the dead
their little companions sit with large eyes
expressive of wonder. Some are sick,
some gone away, some are married, some
are dead, and when / ask with throbs of
pain,' all are expressive of these sad words,
like the old clock on the stair, Forever
Never" They have crossed that awful
gulf which no mortal ever yet repassed to
tell what's on the other side
Amid the cold, moist earth we've laid them,
Where forest cast her leaf
And we weep that those so lovely
Should have life SO brief
But we gladly hail many intelligent faces
who have come to dwell among us; and
among these new corners and who general
ly show themselves on the Sabbath, is the
publisher of the "Anglo-African." Anoth-
er is a very intelligent itinerant preacher,
who, [ should think, must be of some as
sistance to our local speakers. see 9TH
crs, who I hope will do all they can to pre-
vent the children of this village from suf-
fering that scorn and contempt which we
see many of our colored villagers are sub
ject to, brought on by a neglect Of that
culture which is the only security to NOR
atty and religion.
/ attended Mr.. Robert Hamil-
toms musical entertainment, given in this
place last Monday evening, which was sat
isfactory to all, with the exception of a
somewhat scanty attendance, owing to the
notice not being properly circulated. We
noticed group of white friends sitting
near the aisle, one of whom (quite gen
tlemanly looking character, too,) we should
suppose was raised instead of being
brought up, as he sat with his hat on.
