The following details are almost too shocking for belief, but we feel an obligation to publish them, as they are derived from an authentic source: Horrid Murder. - One of the most shocking acts of murder which stains the catalogue of crime in this section of the country, was committed by his negroes on the person of Mr. John Hamlin, of Lunenburg Co. Va. on Friday night the 9th last. It appears that the murder of Mr. H. had been in contemplation for more than 12 months. Availing themselves of the absence of the overseer, the negroes carried into effect their horrid design; first by choaking him to death, and then a brush fire, prepared for burning tobacco plant patches, they consumed his body and to avoid detection, literally pulverized his bones, strewed them in field, and turned them in with the plough. Mr. Hamlin was an enterprising and intelligent farmer, whose death will be much regreted by that class of the community particularly, and society generally. Seventeen of the negroes charged with that offence have been committed to the Jail of that county to await their trial before a special court to be impannelled on Monday the 19th last. Lunenburg, March 17th.
