REcApruRED.-All eight Of the negro conyicts
who escaped at Weston, Lewis county, Va, have
bpen recaotured The Weston Herald Gays:
One of the negroes states that they were per-
sualed by white man name unknownl to make
their esc.pe, and that he gave them directions
how TO reach the Ohio river. If this be true,
there is gross and culpable mismanagement on
the part of those having the management of the
convicts, and who are required to prohibit any
communication being held with them, other than
Inv IN ,se who have them in charge Several Of
the c.nvicts had armed themselves with various
means of defence, such a. drawing strait ht-
encl at the ends. and SO fixed AS to make it dan,
gerous weapon, &c, and doubtless had determined
on resistance. They are safe now. however. and
will be kept under stricter watch. The jail we
think secure, being built of huge logs. after the
plan Of the block house, SO celebrated in the early
history of Virginia.

SAD ArrAIR-Boy KiLLEp.-On Saturday night
last; fatal ntfnir occurred in this place. which
resulted in the death of small negro boy some
ten or twelve years Of age. the property If Mrs
penick of this vicinity. and under the control #
Sylvester p. Adams. Esq. The boy was hired to
John NJ. Sutherlin, Esq. and had heen employed
bv him to work in his tobacco factory. lie was
in the habit of spending his nights at the house
of Tom Pierce, who keeps barber shop on Main
street. The father of the boy slept at the same
place. On the night in question we learn, the
old man, father to the murdered boy, was sitting
in basement room of Pierces house, and had
sent his son out upon some GRAND in less than
ten minutes from the time he sent the boy at.
intelligence brought to him that his son, lay
upon the street corpse.
The affair has excited and is exciting consdera-
Bile interest in this community, not only on ac-
count of the killing of so small boy, but a'o be-
cause there is some mystery connected with the
matter which seems rather difficult Of solution.
The wound which caused the fatal result appears
to have been cut or cash, inflicted with some
sharp instrument, sevcring the carotid artery
nearly in two. and cutting the jugulnr vein in
longitudinal direction. The result of such cut

the instrument has been found nor the hand which
inflicted the blow detected. Although the boy at
the time was among a number of persons OF his
own color, and although some who were near by

THE CosTELLATINN.-We have been ia
vored with the back numbers of this inter-
esting weekly. 1t has been mainly spoken
of on account of its huge proportions and
vast amount Of reading matter that it con-
tains. We think the quality is fully equal
to the quantity. Although it is, perhaps,
the largest weekly paper extant, it is edited
with great ability, and its selections are
made with much taste and care Cur peri
odical dealerS should have the Constellation
on hand, and hoee wishing great quanti-
ty of choice reading for small amount OF
money should buy this paper.
