A Singular SCGslc.

One Of the strangest spcctaclcs ever wit
messed in judicial tribunal was seen in the
Supreme Court yesterday. 1t was the
presence of six children. charged with murder
who were brought before the grave and Dig
niicd Supreme Judges upon n habcas corpus.
There were four boys and two girls, aged
between nine and twelve years. whose names
proceedings. These children arc from Edges
field, and were represented by Mcssrs. j. T..
AID 0. Sheppard, who succeeded in attaining
bail for them in tho sum Of !:i 900.
The alleged murder took place under the
following circumstances In tho vicinity Of
Ridge Spring in Elgclicld County, lives n
Mr.. Fallow, father Of four and guardian Of the
other two children. On the lst Of December
these six children were picking cotton in a
field adjacent to his house, when Il negro boy
about sixteen or eighteen years old, who had
been wnrnc not to come on the promises,
made his appearance among them, and began
to maltrcat aud abuse them. y genera! fight
cnsucd, in which the white children succeeded
in Frustrating tho negro, and one nt them
struck him with n rock in the temple. The
mother of the negro interfcrcd, and another
person took charge Of tho white children and
shielded them from the inlnriatcd attacks OF
tho ncgro's mother, until Mr.. Fallow made
his appearance upon tho scene.
lhc negro boy was tound to DO seriously
injured, and from neglect of his mother, it is
alleged, was permitted to undergo exposure,
from which he died in seven days. On Sa,ur
day last, tho six white children were arrested
and carried to Jail in Edgefcll, charged with
murder, and were brought before tho Supreme
Court, as already stated. ShcriE Castor has
charge Of tho youthful prisoners, and informed
us that they had maintained tho same un-
conscious dcmcanor from tho outset as when
wo saw them before tho Court. No ono
would suspect that they were charged with
crime, 50 innocent and listlcss was their ap
