Information relative TO strange crime ;r,efs

70 Mrs. Mary .Brisend dine, who lives neaf the
church, on her return from visiting The
| house Of d peighb"r, saw two covered to-
baccU- wagons standing near The ehufch, and
TWO negroes and 4 white man eDgased In
what seemed to be a deadly encounter In
side, the building. The white man was
down on the floor and the negroes were
! over him beating orstabbidg him with great
fury, and she is firmly Of the opinion that
| they, were using knives. When she got OBJ
posite the door one of the negroes called to
! her and asked IL she Intended 10 tell what
| she had seen, but she hurried on without
making any reply.
After proceeding some two hundred or
| two hundred aud fifty yards she looked back
to see il she was being pursred-for the cir
cumstauce necessarily frightened her very
much-and then saw the negroes lifting the
body of the white man into one of the
| wagons.
There being nobody at her house on her

be pursued by the negroes, Mrs. Brisendine
did not give the alarm until late in the after
noon. +.
On the following morning three promi-
| nent and yeracious gentlemen, Nfessrs. Nat.
Vandegriff, John Williams, and another
whose name we dc. not remember, of the
neiShborhood, visited the church, and there
| found abundant proof that terrible strug-
gle bad taken place. There, was a large
pool Of blood on the church floor, and from
this place they tracked the combatants, by
| the blood, UP into the gallery, and to a win
dow which had been completely demolished
in the struggle; but here all trace of the
victim was lost, thus corroborating Mrs.
Brisendine's statement that the body, had
been hauled away. The gentlemen express

yive the loss OF SO much blood as they found

The tobacco-wagons were returning from
