APPOMATTOX COUNTY.

PAMPLIN's, Va, September %, 1870.
Editors Dispatch: Last Saturday evening,
while passing deep pond OF water in
Charlotte county, about ten miles below
this place, Luther R. Ford, Esq, and DR..
J. 2. Dupuy discovered the body of dead
man floating on the water. They went for
assistance, and came back and took the
body ont, and found il to be that Of a white
man, but as yet it has not been identified.
There was a shot gun wound in the back OF
the head and neck, which seemed to have
passed clear through. DR.. Dupuy picked
several shot out OF the muscles Of the
neck. The hands and feet were firmly
bound, and two land-sdeS OF a pillow tied
to the body. Suspicion points TO several par
ties in the neighborhood. A white woman
and coored man have been arrested.
This pond is situated on the lands Of the eS-
tate OF Thomas Harvey, deceased, and about
200 yards from Cub creek, out in the low
grounds, and almost entirely hid from view
by weeds. 1t is called the Black" pond.
1t has no inlet nor outlet, and | have been
told that 70 one has ever found the bottom.
Several bed-cords have been tied together
and weights tied to the end and let down
into it, but have failed to reach the bottom.
The water is almost as black as ink, hence
the name. The whole affair is wrapped in
mystery, as no one is missing from the
neighborhood. Great excitement prevails.
Yours truly, y.
