I would not willingly present you with sorrows, my dear, my faithful, my beloved Wife; let them go to the grave with me! and be- forever Juried in the dust! and being pursuaded that it is not the Will of God that I should see you anymore on earth; let me earnestly entreat you to bear the separation patiently, believing it to be the uncontroulable dispensa tion of Him who presides over all, and who has also said, "Leave thy fatherless children to me! and' let thy widows trust in me!'' In tak ing this last and final Farewell of you, I tirst send you all the thairks which my heart can fconceive, or my tongue by my pen can express. I thank y'ou for all. your kind and many admonitions, and for the anxious care which you have taken to. persuade and induce me to shun the dangerous paths of vice; , and 'although they had notjthe desired effevt.

Yet my .Ult to you is not the less, and though I am sure 1 never shall repay; it in this ti-iiiiMtorv and changing world, I can only pray,' in this i almost last hour of my life, that Cod, who thro the merits of .Christ the Re- fomv' haAH'vpJLl, Je tesfthe house and demanded the old monv of his accent no? , may take j you and our innocent infants into His almighty protection; that he will abundantly supply all your wants; that he will enable you to pursue those paths which you so often and so ardently recommend ed to me, and, that HE, out of his abundant goodness will provide for you and them. I sincerely re quest, that my unhappy fate may not prevent you from providing for yourself and forphem. Do your utmost to put'our children to school: endeavor to bring them up in the fear of GOD betimes, and early instruct them to procure an honest living by industry, & to shun every .-kind of intemperance. And with the respect to the small property 1 leave" behind me, dis pose of it to the best advantage; pay all my just debts, iand convert the remainder to the support of yourself and our children. It is likewise mj-earnest request, that your father ma)- take my dear helpless infants under his protec tion, and assist you in bringing them up in the fear of God, that . they shun the unhappy fate of their father: And as I hope and trut, to my m1 vsilA atone for trie only crime 1 ever committed against the laws of n,v country, and ior an l nave i n.. ajr.diast the one will be so inuuman as to cast any rejections on my harmless in fants for any misconduct of mine.

Sometime in December last, I was going to the house of one of my neighbors on some business, and met' with Lewis Collins, he and I fell into conversation, and he appeared to me to be a genteel civil "man;- and after" some dis course had passed, I asked him to go with me, to which be agreed, and after : staying some time at my neighbour's, he came with me to my house, and I under took to feed one of his horses for some time. He then asked me to go with him on this unhappy jour ney, he promised to . give me a horse if I would undertake the business with him, to which I at length consented, being a poor man, and had no horse ever to go the smallest errand; I thought it Was a good chance for me to make something handsome to live on, and to support my indigent fami ly, althoug my conscience often dertakiDg, likewise my dear wife strongly persuaded me'not to go, I then promised to her that I would not; but Collins's insinua tions was so forcible, by telling me that he only wanted my company, saying, "you go with me, you need not do anything at all." Thus being infatuated I consented and went, with so much reluctance to my poor wife, that the night before our departure she bathed- my shirt with her tears; but so strong was the temp tation, that I could not resist it, I went. Alas! to my linal ruin and reproach. We went on until we came to the house of Mr. Ireland, where we - stopped. 1 begged of Collins not -to hurt any persons, neither to touch anything, but go away again; but. Oh! unhappy fate! he answered and said, "We l have come to do it, and we will do it!" Then we both went forward to. the door, and both went into, man's money, he immediately jumped at his gun; 1 then shot him lown and immediately stepped out of the door, the negro coming in, Collins shot him, and then pro ceeded to get the money, but he found only a few dollars. As this was the lirst undertaking j of the kind that I ever was engaged, I felt as if I had been in a i i urning tire, 'I run away from the house, and Was determined! to quit , his company, and go to my relations in Wilkes county. But Oh! my unhappy lot! he gave me liquor, and told me to cheer up, and not be discouraged, I should have the horse, and e should have some thing yet. Thus . by his alluring ' tougue and the ob stinacy of my own hard- ened heart, ' against the dic tates of my conscience, I got some relief from the distraction of mind I was thrown into, from the unpresidented act of perpetrating so horrid a crime, insomuch as to persevere and go with him more cheerfully, in quest of a better en terprise; but the band of Justice has arrested , us, before we had power to go any further with our cruel and' unlawful undertaking, which would have added Guilt to Guilt and Sin to Sin, and God only knows where we wonld have stopped, had not strict Justice in terposed. And now I bless God, I cheer fully submit and acquiesce in that awful and- solemn sentence of death pronounced upon me; and 1 humbly beg of God, that He will receive my Soul into the realms of eternal glory on high where sor row and trouble shall cease, and be no more, is the sincere prayer of - William Owkns James Reed" Injured.
