Suspictous Characters.-A letter was re-
eeived at this office yesterday evening, dated
Halifax G.. H., May 9Th, 1861, signed by j w
Craddock, J. r. for that county, which sta ties
that Mr.. Layton, who has been travelling in
that county agent for the sale OF johnson
Browning's Family Atlas, published In
Richmond, had brought himself under susp-
cion of being an Abolitionist. The writer
adds, that 1.-THE citizens, or large portion OF
them, held a meeting here Saturday last, and
after due deliberation were satisfied that Dir.
Layton and his wife were very suspicious
charao ters, and as such we would send them
TO your city on Tuesday morning, per railroad.
Mr. Layton gave his pledge that he would re-
main in our village and leave on Tuesday, rs
we desired, we pledging ourselves to protee I
him, If necessary, till that time. He violated
that pledge, and took his depar ture last mig /
about o clock, to parts unknown. l am sat
lstied that he and his wife have been tamper-
ing with slaves and are spies in our midst,
and nope that you Will make some men ton of
this in your papers, that he may be caught
and dealt with as he deserves"
Layton is travelling in top buggy with a
yellow horse, and may he making his way
across the country towards Norfolk. He
begged 10 be allowed to do so, and seemed
much opposed to going 20 Richmond. The
citizens of Halifax are much concerned that
the fellow should have escaped justice.
