Phillips had previously killed, at different times nine of the federal scouts.-Richmoud Whig, June 19
 In reading this horrible story, two things will strike the reader very forcibly. First that this cowardly and cold-blooded murder is related WITH APPROVAL by a newspaper claiming to be one of the highest toned and most conservative of the south Second, that this astrocious story is related by the murderer, and, conseqently, is told in the manner most favorable to himself.- Philad.
