About daylight Sunday morning Mn Maloy left the crowd to make preparations to take the solitary unknown horseman to jail, and during his absence the new comer made his escape. He left the horse, however, which is in possossion of Mr. Maloy. The negro confessed that he stole the animal, but could not or would not give the name of the owner. He made his way, it was ascertained after his departure, in the direction of Clarkton. . The horse is described as a large bay, five years old, with one white hind foot.
