WAS AARON BURR CONFINED IN THE PEN
|ITENTIAEY?-The statement OF Mr.. Meenley,
recently published in this paper, that Aaron
Burr was confined in the Virginia peniten-
stary pending trial, having been questioned
by some gentlemen OF historical reputation,
led to some investigation OF the subject, and
sthc account Of Mr. Mcenley, received from
iothers, has been confirmed. Parton, in his
/" Life Of Burr," says that after the indict-
lmcnt "the counsel ofthe prisoner presented
X paper to the Judge stating that the city Jail,
swhere their client was confined, was un-
slealthy and inconvenient, and was so con-
sstructed that he could hot have room to
himsclf, which rendered it almost impossible
s1or his counsel to consult with him. They
therefore prayed that better quarters might
be provided. The Governor OF the State,
under the advice Of his counsel, having
Offered apartments in the penitentiary, near
Richmond, the Chief Justice ordered the
prisoners removal thither." His situation
I!n the penitentiary was extremely agreea-
,ble. He had suite OF three rooms In the
third story, extending one hundred feet,
iwhere ne was allowed to see bis friends
without the presence Of Witness" DC.

A MAN THROWN INTO A TREE.

l.
aged twenty, was thrown from under the
shelter distance of $50 feet into tree in
the pine wood, above the mill. He fell upon
a broken branch, and was caught upon it by
the sleeve, and for q moment or two was
SUSPENDED there-some thirty or forty feet
above the ground. Then the sleeve gave
way, and he came to the ground with great
crash, crushed into formess heap OF bones,
flesh, and clothes. He was probably dead
or fatally injured before he reached the
limb Of the tree.
OTHER DEAD-THE WOUNDED.
Gordon Rollins (colored), lumber-bearer,
was thrown seventy-five yards from the
mill and fell into the creek. One side Of
his head was torn all to pieces probably by
flying timbers.
One of the children was dashed fifty steps
from the mill. The other died near one OF
the numerous lumber-piles which surround,
ed the mill.
MIR. Thorp was found under the saw
frame. He was carried to the house Of Mr..
Franklin, near by, and died in an hourand
half.
4 The wounded-at least such Of them as
could not walk-were taken to Mr.. HALLS
house, where, despite the great calamity
| that had befallen that peaceful and happy
household by the death Of two bright boys
and the wounding OF Dir. Hall, they were
| made as comfortable as possible. .
Drs. McCandlish and Magruder were sum
moned as quickly as possible by the people
| who speedily collected. Dr.. Magrnder re.
NAMED at MIR. HalPs all day and far fato the
night, attending the wounded and soothing
as far as lay in his power, the distressed re
| latiyes OF the victims.
| THE TWO LITTLE BOYS.
The bodies OF Mr. Halls two little boys
Josie and Edgar, aged eleven and seven
when our reporter visited the house, be
tween 8 and @ O'Clock, had been prepared
| for the grave. Side by side they Lay on ;
table in the parlor. They were dressed il
fresh spring clothing, and their faces Wer'
but little disfigured. Their heads wer,
wrapped in white cloths; for their skulls
| were badly broken.
Mrs. Hall, upon hearing the explosion, /
/ was stated, ran to the mill, and she brough
/ back her eldest child in her arms. Th'
/ whole OF his skull was crushed in upon tht
brain. He died in two or three hours.
The younger one had the whole OF hi
( sknlI.cap knocked of, and was carried hom'
by bis father.

There was no election for Governor Of

gain one and the Greenbaokers gain one

X thus: The Republicans have majority OF
nine in the Senate. In the House, the
Democrats have twenty nine, the Greenback.

As no one Of the candidates for Governor
received majority Of all tho votes cast, tho
election is thrown into the Legislature. But
