Cuming a Negro Alive Shocking
Spectacle.
A few weeks feineo .Miss Thornton, an
interesting young girl, residing near Gas
ton, Aia., was inait brutally murdered by
a slave. Immediately after the murder
and detection of tbo negro, his immediate
punishment was seriously contemplated by
the people of Sumpter county, but, after
mature deliberation, tho law abiding citi
zens delivered him into the custody of tho
proper officer, aud he was committed to
prison.
At t'uo last term of the Circuit Court
of Sumpter county, the attorney appointed
by the court, in the discharge of his duty,
moved for a change of venue to Green
county. TbeJurigo, as the motion was
sustained by tuo proper affidavit, grauted
the application.
Oa Wednesday, the 23d ult., tbo citi
zensof South Sumpter assembled ell !.(',
at Mr. V"ni. McEtroy's, aud unanimously
passed a scries of resolutions reflecting se
riously upon tho conduct of the Judge,
and after having pledged themselves to
sustain each other, a portion of them pro
ceeded to Livingston, and took the miscr-
able criminal by fjiee from the jail where
' he was confined.
On Friday following, after due prepara-

the Marion (Miss.) Republican, " but h.'pc
