W. z. BuRToN's MURDERERs.

We noticed the fact last week that negro had
been arrested here by detective Knox on the
charge of being implicated in the murder of w.
E. Burton. This negroes name is Nelson Gill
more He was taken to Richmond for trial, as it
is supposed the murder was committed in that
city.
From what Gilmore told the officer he was sat
isfed that other parties were concerned in the
murder, and on Wednesday last arrested An
drew Hunter and Nick Thurston, two negro men,
who had been employed on the train with Bur-
ton and Gilmore. The latter told Knox that he
saw ths deceased in Richmond Sunday, the
18th of October; that he (Gilmore) went Oft in
the train that day and did not return until the
next Wednesday morning. In the afternoon OF
that day he saw Andrew and Nick, and they told
him that Burton had gone to hell, and he would
never see him again. He asked what they meant
and Andrew replied, We've plugged him.
He states that they offered to sell him suit OF
clothes, which he bought of them, also a hat and
a pair of boots The clothing, hat and boots
have all been identified as the property of Bur-
ton Gilmore sold the boots to man named
Murphy, who sold them to coored man named
Hail. 1t is evident that the detective is on the
right track in his efforts to ascertain who the
murderers were, and it is believed that all three
of the negroes who have been arrested are con-
cerned in the affair
The Mayor of Richmond appointed Wednes-
dav. (to-morrow) the 10th, as the day for the ex-
animation of the parties arrested on the charge
of being implicated in the murder of W. E. Bur

The First Gun.

We publish in another column an extract
from the call of the Radical Committee of the
State The appearance of this document shows
that we were not premature in sounding the
alarm. The danger is imminent and it must
be met. We have already indicated what we
conceive to be the duty of our Committee. :
We feel certain that the plan SO often pointed
out in these columns will be adopted, and
while we wait for the announcement which will
call our friends together We the people of Vir
ginia, should stand shoulder to shoulder as one
man. 1t is matter Of life and death with US.
We have but one hope of safety and that lies
in compact organization and unanimity OF opin--
ion. Let us therefore adjourn debate, and
agree that we will hold up the hands OF our
representative men who, we feel certain, will
soon assemble in order to discuss with honest
hearts and sober lips the great interest which
the Commonwealth of Virginia has now staked
on the coming election. As We have said be-
fore, the election of Grant was nothing to this.
The pending issues touch US in our public and
private relations, in the counting house, the
field, at the bench, the anvil and in the Public
Schools. -NouoH VTginian.
