ingly accompanied him to the places
which he pointed out, and made necessary
search. In one place in garden they
dug and found the bones of a young child
the mother Of which, he stated, was
negro woman belonging to Patty Cannon,
which, being a mulatto, she had killed foi
the reason that she supposed It's father to
be one of her own family. Another place
few feet distant, was then pointed out,
when upon digging few feet, two oak
boxes were found, each OF which contain
ed human bones. Those in one of them
had been those of person abo"t seven
years of age, which James said he saw
Patty Cannon knock in the head with
biles of wood, and the other contained
those of one whom he said they consider
ed bad property; by which, 1t is supposed
was meant, that he was free. AS there
was at the time much stir about the
children and there was no convenient op-
portunity to send them away, they were
murdered to prevent discovery. On eX-
amining the scuIl bone of the largest child,
it was discovered to have been broken as
described by James.


This fellow, James, was raised by Patty
Cannon, having been bound 10 her at age
Of seven years, and is said to have done
mach mischief In his time for her and
Johnson.


Another wit1css by the name Of Batter
has already been secured and it thought
that some others will be brought forward
who are acquainted with the bloody deeds
Of Patty and joe This woman is now
between 60 and 70 years OF age, and LOOKS
more like a man than a woman bat old
as she is, she is believed TO be as heedleSs
and heartless as the most abandoned
wretch that breathes.


AS stated by as on Friday last, Patty
Cannon had been lodged in the jail at
GEORGETOWN. James and Batter were also
placed there at the same time; and 1t IS
highly probable that ere this the trial has
taken place, and the res'lt OF 1t Will soon
be known.


James stated that he had not shown all
the places where murdered bodies had
been buried, and at the time Of whiting,
oar correspondent informs as the people
were still digging.


Joe johnson, who is said 10 be residing at
this time in Alabama, is stated to have been
seen in this state in Dec Or Jan. last; and the
probability is that his business here was to do
something at bis old business Of kidnapping.
He was convicted Of this crime some years
since at Georgetown, and suffered the punish
ment of the lash and the piilory on account of
it. Heis man ofsome celebraty, having for
many years, carried on the trafc of stealing
and selling negroes, in which he was aided
and instructed by the old nag, Patty Cannon,
whose daughter he married, after she had lost
a former husband on the gallows. He con-
timed 10 reside near his tutoress until within
