the killing of Mr.. Langley on the
oath ult. they went on foot up country
and were pursued by two ofour citizens
Edwin NJ. Taylor and G.. W. Nc
Intyre, through Green, Perry and
Jones, into Jasper counties. aud
down again through Jones into
Covington couatY, where they
were arrested. 1t appears that when
Messrs. Taylor and Mcintyre were
in a few mile OF the fugitives, and
on their trail. they met some persons
TO whom they gave a description Of
the negroes, and urged them to hast
en- on and apprchen1 them, as their
animals were broken down. This,

learn, did, arresling the negroes and

writ, commanding the Sheriff TO ar

Intyre deserve great credit for the
indefatigable zeal they displayed in
pursuing the fugitives, and we regret
TO learn that any question should

the arrest. the party who actually ap-
prehe nded the prisoners laying claim
