DEATH OF THE REV. WIN. c. BLoUNT.-When
on Yesterday we informed our readers of the ter
ribie wound which this Christian gentleman had
received by the discharge of musket in the
hands of the negro Charles Nelmes, we did not
dream that it would be our melancholy duty to-
day to record the fact of his death. But con-
trary to the hopes of friends and the expectations
of his attending physicians, he expired on Wed
nesday night at one-and-a-haf o'clock at his resi-
dence on Swimming Point in Portsmouth.
For some hours after he received his death
wound, the patient seemed to be doing well and
was comfortable, and the anxiety of friends was
alayed by his seeming easy condition. But death,
who doeth his work silently but surely, had
marked him as victim, and when the family and
friends of this beloved citizen still thought the
duced destroyer afar off, 10 he was in the cham
Der of the stricken one, ready to give the finish
ing stroke to the crushing blow already inflicted
To the bereaved family of the deceased, the sym
pathies of our people are freely poured forth, be-
iieving that He, who tempers the wind to the
shorn lamb, will mercifully uphold them under
this great affection.
We are requested to state, by Presiding Elder
Wilson, that the funeral services of the deceased
will take place at the Court Street Baptist Church
in Portsmouth this afternoon at three o'clock.
The Rev. Ler y NJ. Lee will preach the sermon
and conduct the services upon the occasion. The
body wi be taken to Petersburg on Friday morn
ing for interment.

FREEpMEN's CoURr.-Yesterda morning Chas.
Henry helms, mulatto boy of about ten years
old, was brought into court by Officer Harrison,
in company with his mother, Caroline Porter,
charged with shooting the late Rev. William L.
Blount in Portsmouth on Tuesday last The boy
stated that he had no intention of shooting Mr..
Blount, and that it was accidental that he and
another negro had purchased from soldier a
Springfield musket for one dollar, and were prac-
ticng with it in shooting at target, with no idea
of harming any one. The court asked the mother
to produce the gun, but she said she was ignorant
of where it was. A negro lawyer present wisely
suggested to the court that madame be sent to the
Hard Labor Prison for allowing her child to use
firearms. The case reierred by Mr.. johnson
to the superintendent, Captain Flagg, as one in
volving much responsibility, as The accused has
committed serious offence.
Our citizens feel much i.terest in the decision
of this case. and we shall keep them appraised of
the purpose aud result of the trial.

mouth, for the term of ten years, at the rate OF
five dollars per year, for the purpose of erecting
Marine Railway and Saw Mill.
Messrs. johnson 4 Ellis had secured the prop
erty known as Winters, and finding this too small
for their purposes, applied to the Council for the
adjoining end of Glasgow street, and we believe
intend erecting at once Marine Railway and
Saw Mill on large scale.
This enterprise on the part of our citizens, and
the generous assistance rendered them by our
Council, we hail a happy one for the future
prosperity of our community, and we hope soon
to see our wharves and warehouses the scenes of
busy activity.

land left, and much of it for sale at moderate
prices.
The gentlemen composing this firm have estab-
sive scale, and being we'll and favorably known
throughout the entire region of Eastern Virginia
and North Carolina, they have facilities which
but few can enjoy, and are thus enabled to hold
out inducements to buyers and sellers, which
must eventually result in great benefit, not only
to individuals, but to the respective States over
which their operations extend.
The House in this city has branch Agencies in
the adjacent counties, and are thus enabled to
give minute information to all who may wish to
invest in lands in this garden spot of the Atlantic
