We have before published a short ac count of the murder of John Long, by Mark L. Beazley, near the Bowling Green, in Caroline County, Virginia. The annexed communication for which we are indebted to the Richmond Star details in full of the horrid particulars of the crime. (From the Star and Transcript.) Bowling Green, Caroline County, December 30th, 1S40. Dear Sir: I have just returned to "mine Inn" from visiting the wretched murderer, Mark L. Beazley, who is con fined in the jail at this place, for taking the life of John Long. I here has not occur red in this reeion, within the memory of the inhabitants, any murder which for its attendant honors can vie with the one allu ded to, and for the sake of humanity, it is to be hoped such another never will darken the records of crime- The wretched cul prit confesses every thing keeps nothing back and one would suppose he was de scribing an incident to which he was only a casual observer, rather than an occur ence in which he was the prominent ac- a i if i r. lie sayTs, LiOng anu inuiseii were ai 'ays friends, and ten minutes befare the "ommission ofthe act, the farthest thing voin his thoughts, was the destruction of .on". From his statement, it seems that ong went to his house about bed time, id they commenced drinking. A favor 1 2 puppy, belonging to Beazley, got in the ay of Long as they sat at the fire, which I s Beazley says) irritated Long, who kick it the animal out of his way. Beazley en "5red, struck Long a violent blow with his SjSr, which felled him to the floor. As soon V Beazley saw blood oozing from Long's head, he became alarmed and endeavored! lowrap mm in a ued-quilt. Long recov ered a little, and the quarrel was lenewcd, when Beazley se zt-d an axe and struck Long two blows on the back of the head, which felled him to the floor again. Beaz ley then laid down on the bed, as he thinks, beside his wife whom he threat ened, if she should stir, he would kill and slept until near day- When he arose, the body7 of Long was stifX and cold. He then ripped up the floor and put the body beneath. The murder occurred Fiiday night; all day Saturday the body laid there, and the wretched man say s he endured all the agonies of hell, during the day He drank deep and freely of ihe damning cup of in toxication, to keep down the wild feelings that agitated his bosom. He. was afraid to flee, for fear ofthe pursuer: he was afraid to look his fellow man in the face, lest his guilt should stand in charact ers of fire burned upon his fun head. At night, he essayed to move the body, but the fear that he was watrhed, prevented him so moving a few things out of the house, beset it on fire, thinking, poor fool, he would destroy all evidence of the mur der, and again breithe freely. But after the last rafter had fallen in, and the dying embers had benin to pale, there in the midst ofthe fire lay unburned, the head less trunk of John Long! He next be thought him of removing the body; but, alter he had raked it irom the ashes, it was .so hot he had to leave it to cool before he could remove it. The day was dawninj: and his work was not accomplished. IK then dragged it up beside a rail fence, and there it lay about twenty steps from thr road all day, a frightful wreck of mortality the arms burned off, the legs burned off, and only a small poition of the head cling ing to the trunk! At night, he took the body of his victim, and buried it in a potato hole; but, still,; the fear that it would be discovered, tor-' mented him, and he again took it up and carried it in his arms about two miles through the dark old forest, and buried it in a hollow tree! During the day, Monday, he again went to the spot where the body was interred, terrified lest the dogs should, in hunting Ihe wood, discover his crime. But there was upon him an Eye, from whose glance he could not hide himself, and hia own con science haunted him with its terrible thun der in gs! A servant woman, the property of Ro bert Hudgin, Esq. the Clerk of the Superi or Court of this counly, and in whoe fam ly Long had been a sort of supernumerary mechanic and often an accountant, called at Beazley's on Sa'urday, and remarked blood upon the floor, and the appearance of something like brains around the firt pltce. Coupling this circumstance in her mind with the absence of Long though not breathing her suspicions to Beazley's wife, she told her husband the fact, who on Monday told his fears to Mr. Saunders, at the Bowling Gnen. Mr. Saundeis, Mr. Norborn Suiton, Mr. Tenant, Mr. Hudgin, Festus Dickinson, Esq. the Prosecuting Attorney for the county, and several other gentlemen, proceeded to the work-shop of Beazley, and demanded John Long. He denied all knowledge of him save that Long had been to his house on Friday night, and said he was going to Tappahan- nock, in Essex county. In searching the ruins of the fne, the gentlemen found Long's pocket book, burned to a cinder, with a piece of paper burned, but the writ ing still distinct although the paper was almost charred. In raking about the yard Mr. Saunders found under the surface a bone, with fragments of flesh clinging to it, and a little further, a portion of the human jaw with two teeth in it. Upon this dis co very, Beazley confessed his crime and begged them to hang him on the spot. He was immediately conveyed to jail, but the next morning he was permitted to accompany-the gentlemen who had arrest ed him, in quest of the body. They found it as he described, anil it was buried subse quently in a square box, all the upper and lower limbs having been destroyed by the lire. Long was a harmless inoffensive being, alvvay s ready and obliging in his disposi lion, and occasionally addicted to indul ging rather freely. Beazley has heretofore borne the charac ter of an honest, humble, hard-working man, and irom lus looks 1 would hardly- suspect him of either nerve or inclination to commit so foul a deed. He neither ask s or expects mercy. 1 found him reading the testament, and as meek and docile as a child. 1 endeavored to impress upon his mind the importance of a prepaiation for that shadowy bourne "whence no traveller returns." Abduction. A narrative of a most sin gular traffic is going the rounds of the pa pers, which if true, calls for immediate ap plication of the law, to punish the infa mous onenders. 1 he substance ot ihe sto ry is, that, the captain of a vessel lying in the port of New York, by the aid of a per- ro. xru Xo 5. srn known in New York, visited certain houses of dl fame, in that city, and repre- sen ing themselves to be the captains of a passenger packet, bound to New Orleans an I Havan , induced, by tendering them a free pass ige, some fifteen or twenty of the prettiest girls, to embark with them for Havana, and having got them on board, took them to the coast of Africa, and sold them into the interior, to the negro chiefs, each one for fifty negroes. The rumor is founded on a letter, which it is said, one of ihe girls contrived to get to the coast of Africa, whence we suppose it found its way to America. THE POPULMl VOTE.

The follow ing extract of a letter is from a gentleman formerly of this City, now on a tour through the Western States, and at present in St. Louis, from whence he writes: "I went the other night to look at the greatest curiosity that I have ever seen. It is called the Great Missourian, and is the greatest animal ever known. It was found about two hundred miles West of this place, in this State, by a German. It measures 16 feet high, is 32 feet long, has two tusks lhat are from 10 to 12 inches in diameter and 16 feet apart. The head and tusks weigh 1 100 pounds. The joints of the knee in the foie legs are inverted so that he bends his knee the contrary way from any other animal. He appears to have been web-footed, has no hoofs, but toes about 8 or 10 inches long. The own er has computed its size in comparison to the size of an ox here that weighs 1000 pounds, and he isjust 100 times larger than the ox, so lhat he must have weighed when alive, 100,000 pounds (50 tons.) I should think he would have required five or six Buffaloes for breakfast. The six musi cians, who play at the exhibition of the animal, sit upon his ribs. " The owner has been offered 20,000 cash for him. lie leaves in a few days for New Orleans, thence for New York, thence to Europe. It is worth a good fortune for any six men, but the owner will not sell it" Troy IVhig. In feres ing Incident. The Milledge ville Ga. Stmdard of Ihe 24th ult., relates the following: In the examination before the Legislature, of the claim of James Hunter, to legislative clemency or pardon, for the crime of murder, committed on Mr. Loveiov. Mr. Jones. Senator from m ' 7 the county of Paulding, made the follow ing statement, which he said he had not heard contradicted: "After the convic tion of Hunter, he was visited in his prison by his wife. During one of her visit., she clad herself in his apparel, and he dressed himself up in her's; and in that di'guise made his escape. After some hours the affair was discovered and the jailor detain ed the wife in prison, as being accessary lo ihe escape of her husband. Hunter hear inii in some way that his wife was kept in jail, came forth voluntarily, and gave him self up to proper authority, to sutler upon the gallows, in order lo relieve an affection ate and confiding wife from the walls of a prison. Such conduct is truly ennobling, even in a felon, and the mention of it crea- ted a deep emolion in the legislative hall. Hunter was pardoned by the Legislature, and has been restored to the bosom of his family. And we sincerely hope that hU subsequent conduct will prove him no unworthy of the enjoyment of those civil privileges to which he has been again r$ stored. u St i I Ill it- Pi il if I V t : if 1 1!
