someof the best of Gen. McClcllan's old
engineer officers were with Gen. Grant,
and knew where Richmond was vulner-
.eble;n and because he Is good enough
soldier ID act rs IL his opponent was a
better poldier than himself. The thing
most to be dreaded by General Lee was,
that Grant would bring on a general en-
gagement between the White Oak Swamp
and Melyern Hill, and that it might re-
suit in his securing tho latter point and
Turkey Bend as base for his operations
against Richmond. IL Grant had done
this, he might have been in Richmond

can take the rebel capital. II was with
ateeling Of relief therefore, that Generel
Lee saw that, instead Of doing 90, he was
crossing the James. River, and that, too,
as far down MS Windmill Point. 1t was
because he knew what Grant would have
to encounter "on that line" that the reb
ell General did not oppose the move

Lynch LAw.--Col. Charles Lynch, a
brother of the founder of Ilynchburg,
Virginia, and an officer in the revolution,
was the originator Of that summary mode
Of punishment known as Lynch Law"
His residence was on the Staunton, in the
southwest part Of Campbell county, after
wards the seat Of his grandson, Charles
Lynch, Esq. At that time the country
was very thinly settled, and infested by q
lawless band Of tories and tlesperadoes.
The necessity Of the case involved des-
perate measures, and Col. Lynch, then o
leading Wing, apprehended and had
them punished without any superauous
legal ceremony. Hence the origin OF the
phrase Lynch Law This practice Of
lynching continued years after the war,
and was applied to many cases Of mere
suspicion of guilt which could not be reg
ularly proved. In 1892, says Wirt's Life
of Henry, there were many suits on the
south side Of james river for inficting
Lynch law. AT the battle Of Guilford
Court House regiment Of rifemen rails
ed in this part Of the State, under Col
Lynch, behaved with much rallantrv.
The Colonel died soon after lhc war
Charles Lynch, Goyernoroi Louisiana,
was his son. His brother, John Lynch,
the original founder Of Lynchburg, was a
q
member of the denomination Of Friends.
and plain man Of strict integrity and
great benevolence of character. The
Father Of the above mentioned John
Lynch was an Irish emigrant, and took
lr land hero previous to the revolution.

was paid one month and eleven days wa

Negro Hanging,

We have inadvertently failed to notice
the hanging Of negro in this place on
last Saturday night A short time since
two young ladies living in the neighbDr-
hood, we're attacked on their way home
from the post office, lpy AZ pegfoiman who
Attempted ID outrage the person Of one
Of ,thep Their pfies brought a-gentle-
man living bard BY to their rescue. but
before he reached the spot the negro
made good his escape, leaving oneof the
young ladies lying senseless on the ground
from q severe blow inflicted on her head
near the eye. All the negroes in the
neiehboyhood were assembled in town BY
order Of Gen. Lee, and the young ladies'
sent for TO select, If there, the guilty
scoundrel. "A boy belonging TO Lieut..
Whitfield, of tho Ordnance office, was
readily identified and put under arrest.
4 meeting Of the citizens was then called
to. investigate The matter, and punish
summarily the negroif found guilty, after
d fair and impartial trial. After a pre-,
Iiminary investigation, the case was turn.
ed over to the proper authorities to be
tried by due process Of law. The trial
consumed all Of Saturday afternoon, and
a portion Of the evening. After hear
ing of che testimony, which was very
strong, one of the young ladies having
sworn positively that the criminal before
her was the guilty party, the magistrate
ordered the negro to be committed to
jail. The sentence had barely escaped
froh his lips when a party Of soldiers
rushed into the court room, seized the
negro carried him toe tree close by, and
there suspended him@with rope to a
limb. The fist Mississippi regiment are
credited with this job, which was quietly
and speedily done. II will probably serve
as warning to other negroes in the com
munity who have loose rein and evil
dispositions. This is not the first nor
third instance where negroes have in
suited white ladies in this vicinity,
The present is the first case, however
where the guilty party could be identified.
