Christianbitbg, July 4th, 1842. The scene of their lives and depredations is in the county of-Giles on Don Creek, n small branch of New River, which heads in the celebrated Salt Pond Mountain, and from its obscurity and loneliness and the character of its inhabitants, has always been avoided by civilized man. But to the tale; -i-.: : ; ; : The father of the Lucoscs is near about g3 yeaf9 of ag0) and is no doubt a noary. headed old viUainralihcbLj)ehasduring his long life, been adroit enough to commit no crime of which the law could take cog. nizance. I will give one trait in the char- M will8u(nee(0 ahowwhat kindof n man he is. On the recent trial of his son ' Dave," when his life was in jeopardy, this old man being ask. ed what was (he character of his son David, responded that he believed " Dave would kill a man for twenty-five cents .'" The first in this family of blood, perhaps unparalleled in civil society, was the first isonof " Old JZan'as he is usually called (His name, perhaps is Randolph butj prcsumo he has never seen or heard of the Ltismal font.) Well, this first born of .

Next in the list of his family of criminals. Is " Dave," or David, the second son of ,r O'cT Ban," and the Lion of the family, if exceeding all the rest in the number and magnitude of his crimes will make a villmn lion. " Dave 'commenced his career of crime about 20 years ago, when he was Itf years oi nge, oy stealing a horse, for which he was sent to the penitentiary for five years during which time ho and anoth er convict eontrived to make their escape. Dave came on home, was captured, taken back, and ! served out his term. But not long after his return home from this, his first probation, tho incorrigible Duve contrived to rub a small dealing pod lar of nearly all his stock in trade, for which crime be was again sent to the peni tentiary for three years. At the time of this last conviction, a cousin of Davie's a lad 10 or 17 years of age, was convicted for some crime, and also sent to the peni tentiary lor three years; of course they were discharged at tho same time and left the penitentiary together. Tho boy has never been heard ot since; and Lucus, In sjnvtPf his drunken frolics, has boasted that as they come on homo, ho killed the boy .and threw his body into tho river; and he told the boy's futhor, that when he ran his knife into him ho buwled like a call.; If Dave tells the truth in this matter, he mnst have murdered the poor boy for the wsetehed pittance that was given him when he left the penitentiary, to defray his ex penses on his way home. On the night Duvccaroo home from the penitentiary the last time, a stack yard, as also a valuable barn, full of grain, wero burnt in Lucas' immediate neighborhood, belonging lo per sons who were witnesscSon belialfoT'The Commonwealth, in his several convictions From cogent circumstances, and the char octerof Lura, ho was universully believed to be the incendiary, and since his lust con viction he has admitted tho fact. Lucas's next exploit in the way of crime, was at a muster in September Inst, ' He had a quar rel and fight with his own sister's son, and in the fight he struck' a blow with his fist, which instantly killed his nephew. For this murder ho was arraigned, tried, and acquit ted, owing to some extenuating circum stances. Since his recent confinement, ho says ho ought to have been punished for this murder, as he acknowledges he had a pound of lead rolled up and concealed in I lie hollow of his hand when ho struck the blow that killed his nephew. The next crime of which Lucas is ac cused, is only founded oil strongcircum. stances, which are these: Some years ngo, a man who had been on with a drovo of cattle to the North, merely as a drovct, was returning home through Lucas s neighbor- hood on foot He was seen to pass a house in iho morning and almost- immediately after, Lucas was seen by' the same man whovsaw tlio drover, to go o alter mm, with his riflo gun on his shoulder, and di rectly after the same man heard the report of a gun down the road, the way they had gone. Lucas soon after returned, and there was much blood on his clothes. The same'uflyeTrwrracen raltrrTjuflTrtity f blood in the road. But as tho drover was an entire stranger, no investigation was had. He never arrived at his home, nor has tie since been heard of, and Lucas, if a mur t tilting, leaning against a M 8.' Th poo fe 3er was commit ted,Joscnpcir punishmenETeermisls. very recently, a man a dog in the vicinity of this transaction, en mo to his master with a human skull in his mouth. Lucas's last crime, and for the perpetra- tion of which the world has been freed of l ' .1 I I T 1 sucn a monster, was tno muraer oi jonn PofT, a poor laborer, who had been working at the' salt works on Kanhawa a few months and who, with the proceeds of his labor in a wallet, was travelling on foot and alone to his family and homo in the county of Flojd Lucas fell in with him on tho highway, and as it was late in the eveninpT enticed. Uiin tQ go home with him, as he said he could en tertain him for the night as well as any one. In on evil moment poor Poffconsented, and soon after met his fate; iiXhxve" killed" film within less than two hundred yards of his cabin, and so obscuro fs Luc,as's resid?nce7 that the rmmlre4 man lay nearly a week above ground with, out dif covcry. ; and what is ccrtiynly a very strange infatuation on the part of the murderer, apparently no pains or care wns taken to conceal tho foul deed. This wretch, ed criminal was apprehended, tried, and found guilty of thiiiriurder by the jury, in fifteen minutes from their retirement from the court room. There were- seventren witnesses on behalf of the Commonwealth; the criminal had no witnesses, and refused to employ counsel. The court of course, assigned him counsel, but his case was so plain and flnarront that "the learned counsel (I prMnme) thought it "unnecessary to make any defence, and submitted it to the jury without argument. Sentence of death was therefore pronounced upon him, and in ar- Cordance, he was hung on Friday, the 24th of June, at Giles court house, the day you saw his brother in the penitentiary. Tim spectators, male and feir.ale, black and white, would number perhaps oOOO. as ho had lived i. reckless and without anv outward sicn of compunction made no particular confes. nan hin nndpr thn imllnwa; on the con when . - in mis awiui situation, in response 10 something said to him by some of the at- tending clergy, and finally made an attempt Jo bite the Sheriff's ear whilst lie wasAd. jusIng the rope ronnd his neck, f So jived, and thus died David Lucas, the wretched murderer. , k'f 4 The next in the list of this family of crim inals is John Lucas, the one yoq saw in tho penitentiary. He is " Old Ran's" third on., - He, also, has killed his man, and his full cousin, too; for it seems they are like old Cain, their hands appear to be rawed against their own kin.' John and his cousin engaged ill a fight caused , by the .cousin s jibering, by say ing, " your brothor Dave is in tho penitentiary," wblch so enraged John that he struck him a .Mow with his heavy rifle eon with such force as to cleave his skull to the very teeth, breaking atock and barrel off in tio tniddfeaadcaBMnir in stant deulk. Dave Lucas beine, in part, the cause of this quarrel, and its disast rous consequences to John, perhaps accounts for the recklessness of bis behaviour on hear, ing bf Dave's final fate, and may have been strong in his mind when he made the ob servation you mention, " that it would have beet to the credit of the family if Dave had been hung many years ago." John was tried for his life, but as the murder occur red in a hglit, and under very aggravating circumstances on the part of the murdered man, Joiio s lilewas compromised for a years residenceln tho penitentiary. I never heard of any other depredation on society committed by this criminal. You. have scea him ; he is a very good fac rimilt of this depraved family of Lucases. They are truly, a savage looking race. There "re yet two brothers younger than those already named, who have not rendered themselves so conspicuous in the annals of crime ; what their fates will be timo only can tell. They promise fair to bo genuine chips of thu old block, and though young, are al ready tho terror of the neighborhood. You can hurdly believe such a community of snvoes could bo produced in one futility, in our civilized country. - --- " Uld flap has ulso daughters, for these ill Weeds are very prolific ; but t'.iey aro worse than tho sons, (save the mark), and hereby hnngs a tale.

They imagine the whole of religion consists in certain mortifications, or denying them selves the smallest indulgence, even of the most innocent amusements. A perpetual gloom hangs pver their countenances, while tho deepest melancholy preys upon their minds. At length the fairest prospects vanish, every thing puts on a dismal appear ance, and those very objects which "ought to give delight; afford nothing but disgust. Life itself becomes a burden, and the un happy wretch, persuaded that no evil can equal what he feels, often puts an cndjo his miserable existence. It is a gresit pity that ever religion should bo so far perverted , as to become the cause of those very evils which it was designed to ciiro. Nothing can be belter calculated than "trud religion, to raise and support tho mind of its votaries undor' every affliction that can befntl them. It teaches man that even the sufferings of this life arc prepara. tory to tho happiness of the next, and all who persist in a course of virttio shall at length arrive at complete felicity. Persons whose business it is to recom mend religion to others, should beware of dwelling too much on gloomy subjects. That peoce and tranquility of mind which true religion is calculated to inspire, is a more powerful argument in its favor than aH-tho-temresthat-caa bajiUercd.
