On Sunday %noihing, Dec. 25tb, the Captain
with mis- crew and mdte, took the crew in the boat
and started for Mr.. MorrissS's plartation, having
to 60 about Is miles by water to his place of Ian.
ding, from which, to the plantation was five miles.
After landing, he sent his men to Mr.. Peters,
house, The being acquainted with Mr.. p.,) to tar.
ry until his return. The crew had been in ,hs
house but a short time, before six armed men
came there. by the names of David Brown, and
his two sons, Burrill Brown and Narhap Brown,
with their brother-in-law, Thomas Harrison. md
two others whose names | don't recollect. and told
them they must go to Jail. The sailors, believing
their innocence would appear the more appear.
ent If they yielded, concluded to Vbey their or.
doris, supposiug they were authoritative they were
then taken into the woods, tied to a tree, and a no.
gro made to give three of thom fifty lashes apiece:
The reserved Bile Hds a tall man, of he hiehth of
six feet three inches, whom they called tho can
tain of the crowd Upon his back they dealt onA
hundred lashes. After he was taken down. thew
asked him il he would run as fast as the others
had2 they having been compelled to run, as fast
as released.
AS he did not at on &C start, one of the eapR
raised his gun, saying, - you, you won't
rbh, will your and fred the ball passing near
his head, and lodging in n tree. With wba,
strength remained, the suffering man then started.
%hastehed BY tho pTofane threats of his menaciuo
tormentors. By the kindness of BurriIl Browne
wife, the men were shown the way down. and .
boat WIS provided to thke them on board the vas.
sci.
On Monday riotDing, as Capt. Kinney, his wife:
and MI, Patterson were coming down towards the
landing, they were met by the man wHb TOOK the
sailors on board, and told what had happened.
and advised him to 60 back to Mr.. Morrisst's ana
leave the woman, and then 90 round the other
way, and send a sheriff for the boat. This adyics
! was acted upon.
They Lad nor gone more than half a mile, be-.
fore they were overtaken by a man on horseback
who pointed a double-berrelled gun at the cap:
taih's head. and told him to stop. Presently old
Brown and his gang came along. armed with pis:
tolls and guns, and ordered the captain and mate
to take of their coats. which they refused to do:
Guns were at onces cooked and letelled at their
s heads, and compliance demanded, by threatnine
t to blow out their brains.
After they had Invested themselves Of their out:
s Ell garments, a negro was ordered to give them ft-
= ty lashes apiece. The captains wife piteousl =
= interceded in behalf Of her husband and compan.
ion, but they coarsely told her to stop her id
crying, or they would give her the same numbe,
of lashes they were now giving her husband. AZ
ter the negro had completed his task, old Brown,
who was unable to walk without q cane, came
o ~hobbling along, and commanded the slave to civ,
them four more for tally.
e The ei$ inquisitors then marched the ufersrs
d before the guns to the boat, and then showed il
e of, leaving them to row Is miles against the It'd,
to their vessel.
n A few days after the transaction, the mate
showed me his back, which was bruised and Gu
n from his neck to his knees, as was also the cas-,
with the others that were flogged.
The only reason given for committing this out
rage was that the captain and his men were damn
ed Northerners.'
has~ The above is only one of q multitude o
s. similar outrages which have been perpetratet
le upon Northern men at the South, within the las
four months, and which ought to unite the Who'll
North as one man in demanding redress and pro
lection at any cost. t.
