es it is unsafe to carry one's wife or children to church, in consequence of the sporting propensity of the negro, who takes the Sabbath to hunt game, and even hunts so close to the church doors as to disturb the congregation assembled to worship God. Why, I would ask the authorities, are not these arms taken from the negroes? They are mostly good arms, and belong to the United States Government. Why does not the Government send or appoint some one to collect these arms? We, the white citizens, were required to deliver up our arms, and we are at a loss to know why we should be stripped of ours and the negro left in possession of his. Another fact. The negroes in the upper part of New Kent county have been holding meetings (hour, midnight) at Hopkins's mill every other Saturday night. Is not this a violation of orders, and is it not the duty of the authorities to look into it? Mr. Editor, you will please propose sending a company down to Hopkins's mill until after Christmas.
