A Lady Murdered by her servant Girl
Shocking Ira aedy.
OF THE RICHMOND pIsrAr

WATERLOO, Va, Sept Is. 1851
Our neigh borhood was thrown into ConsiG
cradle excitement on saturday last, the Il tn
inst, by the star thing news that Miss Eyeliua
Colbert had been brutally murdered at her
own home. The news spread rapidly, and
soon large crowd of friends ana re latives
assem- bled TO ascertain the facts, and find out
II possible the liendish perpetrator of the
horn bic deed.
The white portion of the family consisted
of an aged and infirm father, a son, who was
absent at the time,) ana the unfortunate
young lady. The father was some what deaf,
which doubtless prevented him from hearing
the screams of his daughter, which might
have enabled him to prevent the preparation
OF the titroci0us deed. The body was first
discovered at the stables a distance of about
BOO yards from the house, hy one of the SER
wants, and Supposed to have bee. about two
or three hours after the murder had been
committed The body was cold, and showed
marks of considerable violence. Two severe
bruises Were on her left temple, prints Of
fingers were about her neck, Gs if she had
been choked. besides many bruises about her
BODY. 1t was soon, however, ascertained that
about two or three hours before the body was
found, she had walked, with her knitting in
hand, in the direction of the stables, where
the servant girl Clara ANN was engaged in
storing away some hay. As none of the
other servants We're in that direction, suspi-
cion soon rested upon Clara Ann, who, being
confronted, acknO Wledged the preparation
OF the awful deed. Intense excitement pre-
vailed. Many were anxious TO lynch her on
the spot, but hnally 1t was thought best
that law and order should prevail. ~.
An inquest was held over the body. The
evidence before the jury was of an entire
circumstantial character, though very strong.
except her confession, which was as follows
That whilst al the bIes her mistress at
tempted to correct her from some cause,
when a rencounter ensued, whereupon she
seized piece of tence-rail near by, striking
her twice, Telling her to the ground, and then
C6OkpQ her until life extinct The
rendered their verdict in accordance with the
above facts. The girl was committed to Jail
TO await her trial.
The unfortunate lady was about forty
years of age, and highly esteemed by large
circle OF relatives and friends for her many
virtues; was IN very delicate state of health,
having just recovered from q long spell Of
illness. The funeral ceremonies We're CON
ducted by Rev. Cum berland George, and
attended by large concourse of friends
The murderess is about sixteen years of age,
very strong and athletic woman bearing
the character of being high tempered and
malicious. #s.. N

AFFAIRS AT CUMBERLAND Gar General Zol-
hofer. who commands our forces in East
Iennessee and the extreme part of South
western Virginia, has moved his camp for
Yard from Cum berland Gap, the common
lnint Of Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee,
and proceeded with his army some fourteen
1i!es into Kentucky to Cumberland Ferry
aad Long Mountain Heights. This advance
Ass been made for strategic reasons, the posi-
Ton now occupied commanding much more
t1eciually all the approaches from Kentucky
han Cumberland Gap itself. 1t is believed
hat Gen. Zollicoffer has somewhat upwards
Il eight thousand troops at the advance posts
uanei
4 report has been in circulation that
andrew John son, the notorious traitor of
last Ten nessee, was on his way through Ken :
neky, attended by an escort of six thousand
FEDERAL troops, in the direction of East Ten
le-"ee. For various reasons, this rumor is
dIsTTedited. 1t is believed that the Confede-
rate force posted at Cum berland Ferry and
'hefeaeouts Is sufficient 10 prevent the ingress
iR:o Virginia and Tennessee OF any force
ahns that direction.

The AFFAIR AT PESsAcoLA.-In relation to
this affair, the Montgomery (Alal Idvertiser
remarks
The accounts we have received of the recent
attempt of the Yankees 10 land at the Navy
Yard 1T Pensacola, do not appear 10 reflect
great credit on the watchfulness of our men
At that point. The Yankees were nearly
ready TO land when they We're discovered,
and had they been more in force might have
caused eonsidera bic damage before they could
have been repulsed. That our men fought.
bravely, we can readily believe; but that they
me very near being surprised at their posts
by the enemy, seems evident. In all cases
where men are on duty tor great length of
time without alarms, they are inclined 10 get
IL little less watchtul than is desirable; but
soldiers, as we'll as others, should remember
that eternal vigilance is the price of Iiber-
ty,'' and that the s1lrest way 10 repei an at
tack is 10 be at all times prepared 10 meet the
enemy. 1t should DO borne in mind that the
enemy now in Fort Pickens, is watchfui and
interruptions, and that he Is only waiting
the time when he can strike our defences with
effect. We hope the Result Of the recent ex-
pertinent viii be 10 place the Confederate
soldiers fully on their guard There can be
no excuse for a surprise. Of.

TIE EsEMY's DEAD AT OAK HILLs.-A cor
respondent of the Baton Rouge 1dUocate, who
fought in the Louisiana Regiment at Oak
Hills, writes:
Soon after the battle ended, the enemy, uu-
der q flag of truce, commenced attending to
their dead, dying, and wounded. The Tight
commenced at d o'clock A M, on the morn
ing of the 10th, ending at12A Z. NJ. All the
remainder of that day, = well as during the
night, seven of their six mule teams were
busily engaged carrying Off their dead and
wounded.
Early Sunday morning l was detailed as
sergeant of q large force to finish the burial
Of the cnemy's dead. Armed with shovel
pick-axe. and spade, we proceeded to the
principal point of the battle field to plete
this mournful task, which the enemy, unable
TO accom- plish, had given up III despair. The
ground was still thickly strewn with the
CHASTITY and mangled forms of the dead. We
placed fifty three bodies in one hole, gathered
within compass of one hundred yards
Covering them over, we hastily depar ted
lea wing hundreds unburied The efiuyia
was too horrible for human endurance. The
bodies of these unburied dead, deserted alike
by friend and foe, are scattered over the
country for miles left food for the worms
of the earth, the wild beasts of the forest, and
the fowls of the air, while their bones will
bleach aud whiten i'll the sun and rain long
after they shall have been forgotten.
