he had been "thrown into thtf jar
bySpasio. vjhis assertion was
obltinatoly discredited by! bis par
enta, ho did -not for a "moment
consider tho possibility of its truth.
But on the following day tbis
child Was found lying dead in the
porn bin, with his face horribly
mutilated. A dog, with his mouth
bloody,) was chained besido tho
body of the little boy, and suppos
ing it to have killed his son, Mr.
Aucoih had it immediately shot.
Had tho mutiilation of; the child's
facojbijeen more carefully examined,
it would have been apparent that
its mortal wounds could not have

The death of these children in so
horrible a manner, attributed to
accident, piunircd the parents into
the depths of rief, and thev lamen
ted 'what seemed to them a strange
ly terrible fatality.
Unf 'Xhursday mornincr, while
Mr. Aucoin was absent Ironi the
house, and his good wifo was walk
ing in the garden, she-was startled
by piercing cries from the house,
which; she recognized as the; Voice
of her. littlo babe, now tie only
child left to her. At the first cry,
tho mother, rendered painfully sen
sitive by her recent afllictions.
rushed back to the house. !. At tho
door 'of tho bed chamber'sho pass

io oxcnanjrc a wora, sno was soon
at'tho'vSido' of th'c bed in which, but
a minute before, slfo had 'laid her
sleecping infant. The spectacle
that mot her eTcs was a horrible
one. Thero lay' the babe, j who so
shortly previous was returning its
mothcis caresses, bathed in Us
own blood, with its throat literally
cat from ear to ; car. Near to the
bed, on a table, was a largo' kitchen
knife, covered with blood, that had
just been made tho instrument of
that learlul tragedy, j j
In an instant, tho mothers mind,
rendeTod clearer by thcr tornado of
angttishvthat swept over it,!compre
hended the full villainny of tho ki
carnatb fiend who had iniado her
childless. It was. Aspasio who had
just quitted the room and who alone
could have entered it dunng her
brief' "Absence: it was j Aspasio
whom heir other child accused of
attempting i to drown 4 him, , and
whoso life was tho sacrifice of his
words being unheeded. j
' Incidents, trifling in thejnsolvcs,
but Ifnks of an iron chain of dam
ning evidence, crowTded thick upon
the mother's mind, and tho wThole
extent of Aspasio's villainy was ap
parc'n t,: to her.. .Attracted by her
shrieks ToT-anguish, tho neighbors
ran to tho house, and after learning
tho facts," at once, arrested lAspasie
and subjected her to a cloo cross
examination. , -At first she. denied
every things bu finding th;e proof
against; ncr incontestable, jsno ad
mitted) yfUh, revolting cynicism,
tho thrpo muiders, and confessed
every pafticular. It ia believed
that! Aspasio j was theTcrimiiial who
burned down tho house of icr for
mer lmastcrv3IrcAstuguevielle, and
tho barns of soveral of his npighpora
at Chevretteyille, and shb made
but a feeblot defence agaibst this
accusation. This hideous monster
of iniquity is in jail, waiting, the
retribution of tho outragedjlaw.
It ia said that the work on the.
public buildings' is going with con
siderable activity, in Washington.

"thorough repair. Is it for the re

,i Th Sequc jtrntlou Law.

ic soldiery fromBulI Eun.?. For a
few days terror perhaps' will com
pletely paralyze their energies, but
they will soon bring the whole bat-s
tery of their cunning and ingenu-i
ty to bear upon-the act for the pur
pose of defeating it. Ail sorts of
attempts to evado the stringency
of the law will bo made by that na
tion of slippery eels with which we
are at war. Already we hear of
attempts at fraudulent transfers of
stocks and other species Oi proper
ty. Fraudulent conveyances, false
in date and in fact, will be attemp
ted by our enemies. j
Fortunately, the sequestration law.
is full and complete in its provis
ions against these attempts. It
imposes snch penalties that few, if
any, ot such attempts can prove
successful But wo nevertheless
caution the public against the thou
sand and one efforts which will be
made toprotect the property of
our enemies. Wo admonish all
clerks, bank officers, railroad ofti-
ciais and others, who are cognizant
of the existence of any and every
species of, Yankee property, cither
real or personal, in Virginia, to
hold on to it until the Courts issue
thoir sequestrating processes. Con
cealment of tho knowledge of 'the
existence of. such property is now
a crime which the law most severe
ly punishes,. .All the Yankee prop
erty at tho ;Sdrith Is now vast
fund, out of which tlfo losses of
our people from Yankee rapine and
pillage must be paid; and ho who
aids in the withdrawal of any por
tion of this fund by helping the
Yankeesto evade the provisions of
the sequestration act, is a traitor to
tho Soutli. --ikf ?!
No clerk or other official should
now record any transfer of Yankee
real or personal property ; for ev
ery transfer which is attempted
since the passage of the sequestra
tion act, wears the badges of fraud,
whatever dato tho transfer .may
boar Fraudulent dates will -not
save any portion of tho sequestra
tion fund, and the parties to all
such attempts should bo arrested
"and prosecuted as criminals. Tho
burdens of taxation upon tho South
ern people will depend very nvjch
vUj5on tho cxteut of the funds which
may bo accumulated by an honest
-and faithful enforcement of the se
questration law. r : ' '
Starving the Federals Out.

cannot now muster 600. I want
to leave the regiment, but I never

good as any that have left New

who wilt not get drunk, and not
