DAsTARDtY AssAssINATfos.-Inf
was received here yesterday that Captain
Mathew Mercer, sectioil-master on the
Virginia and Tennessee railroad near Mount
Airy, was shot and MORALLY wounded about
sunset Thursday evening by party of ne
grocs. The full account of this brutal
outrage has not been received, but the par
ticulars, as far as they are known, appear to
he that Captain Mercer was returning to
his home after the labors of the day were
ended, and while crossing bridge across
small stream was attacked by three ne
grocs who were lying in wait for him. and
Knocked from the bridge into the stream
below. Viii lie lying on his back in the wa
ter the ticnds fired from the bridge, the
balls from their guns entering his breast
and inllicting, as is supposed, mortal
wounds. The murdcrers then made their
escape. Some persons passing soon after
Mr.. Mercer was shot discovered him in the
creek in an almost dying condition, and
promptly summoned medical aid. IT was
feared, however, that the utmost skill Of
physicians could not save his life. At y
O'Clock yesterday he was still alive, but his
death was expected to occur at any mo-
mcnt.
The black fiends who committed this
most foul and dastardly assassination were
captured Yesterday by Captain Stanley, con-
dnctor Of n material train, and carried to
Wythevillc, where they were committed to
Jail for trial.-Lynchburg Meas, 10th.
