Charles M. Herbert (search for this): article 1
--During the examination nothing was elicited to show that he had any knowledge of the negroes; and but for the fact that Ellett had a bill of sale with his name on it, he could not have been held under the charge made against the other two. The Commonwealth established, by the evidence of several citizens of James City county, that the three negroes were born free, and that another negro, Washington Simpson, who was left at E. H. Stokes's jail on the 10th of July as the slave of Dr. Chas. M. Herbert, by Cotton and an unknown man, was also free. The witnesses also proved that there was no such man in James City as John Holt; that in Charles City there was a Justice of the Peace named John Holt; but that the bill of sale presented was not in his hand-writing. The Mayor, in order to secure the attendance of other witnesses, adjourned the investigation for one week, and admitted Dr. Boynton to bail in $3,000 for his appearance. Whatever the facts may hereafter prove, i

Kidnapping free negroes. --Wm. K Ellett, Ro. F. Cotton, and L. B. Boynton, were before the Mayor yesterday to answer the charge of kidnapping Wm. Henry Harris, William. Wallace, and Elisha Wallace, three free negro boys, residents of James City county. The evidence elicited the following facts: On the 4th instant Wm. K. Ellett called at Wm. E. Wade's, on Brook Avenue, and asked accommodation for three negroes for the night. Wade promised to receive the negroes, and about 9 o'clock thatedge of the negroes; and but for the fact that Ellett had a bill of sale with his name on it, he could not have been held under the charge made against the other two. The Commonwealth established, by the evidence of several citizens of James City county, that the three negroes were born free, and that another negro, Washington Simpson, who was left at E. H.

Whatever the facts may hereafter prove, it is evident that some parties are endeavoring to reopen the African trade by taking free negroes from Yankee lines and making them useful slaves; and it is

, the saints of the earth, to whom all the earth belongs — who act under a divine commission and a higher law, and cannot, therefore, be expected to obey any impulse so merely human as those of justice and humanity — who have already trampled their own Constitution in the dust, and are responsible only to the law of their own lusts. The great expositor of their creed, and its most genuine representative, Oliver Cromwell, set the first example in Ireland, whither he conducted an expedition in 1648, and it was cruel and bloody enough to satisfy even Yankee thirst of blood. His dispatch from Drogheda, which he had just carried by storm, announces that "in the heat of the action I forbade my soldiers to spare any that were in arms in the town, and I think that night they put to the sword about two thousand men." History tells us that these two thousand men were murdered in cold blood after they had ceased to resist — nay, that very many of them were citizens of the town, and had not been<

The Executive departments. On Thursday last, it will be recollected, Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, introduced into the Senate a bill to limit and define the term of the Secretary, or the principal officers of each Executive Department. It provides that the term of office of the above named officers be the same as that of a member of the House of Representatives, and expire at the end of each session of Congress, but that the same officer or person may be renominated or appointed for a number of terms. We have rarely had the fortune to come across a more objectionable proposition. Mr. Johnson said, on submitting this bill, that its constitutionality was beyond question. We doubt it exceedingly. The Constitution divides the Government into three grand departments — Legislative, Judicial, and Executive. It confers upon each certain powers, necessary to the discharge of their several functions. It gives to the Executive the power of appointing the heads of departments, with

Called over to England to assist in the ceremony of trying and murdering Charles I., which happened in the last days of January, 1649, he returned immediately after that tragedy, and recommenced his terrific murders. Ireland was literally a lake of blood, and a very large proportion of those who escaped with their lives were transported beyond the seas. It is in the midst of scenes of blood almost as terrific as these that a Puritan scoundrel dare insult a committee of citizens rendered destitute and reduced to starvation by the thieves whom his rulers presume to call soldiers, by threatening to transport them beyond the seas! We say threatening, for it is a threat, between the pronouncing and the executi

officers," he writes, "were all knocked on the head." Observe the beauty and force of the expression, borrowed from the shambles, where butchers are wont to "knock their victims on the head."--"and every tenth man killed, and the rest shipped for Barbadoes." "The soldiers in the other towers were all spared as to their lives only, as they were shipped, likewise, to Barbadoes." "I believe," he adds, "all the friars were knocked on the head promiscuously, except two. The one of whom was Father Peter Taaf, brother to the Lord Taat, whom our men took the next day and made an end of." The other was murdered finally, and infants and women out of number. At Wextord three hundred of the latter, many of them carrying their children in their arms, fled to the great Cross of the Market, vainly imagining that the sacred emblem of Christianity would protect them. Their godly persecutors only shouted some sentence about hewing Agag to pieces, and murdered them and their babes, every one. Standi
