Norfolk (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 1
Their contraband dodge on the negro question is too mean a sophism for a London prig, in whose category stealing is stealing. On Sunday night party of negroes, some eight or more in number, two of them the property of P. S. Hancock, Esq., of Norfolk county, and the others belonging to R. H. Wilkins, Esq., of the same county, made their disappearance. As an old seine-boat belonging to Major W. E. Taylor, at his fishery at Willoughby spit, was missing at the same time, there is no doubt that somget all the work out of them they can. Five more are believed to have gone off last night. One is owned by Col. Samuel Watts, of Portsmouth, two by Maj. Wm. E. E. Taylor, of Norfolk, and two belong to Messrs. Ironmonger and Williams, of Norfolk county. There is nothing more irritating to the people of this neighborhood than the taking of their negroes under the miserable pretexts used by the Federals to cover up the true character of their thefts.

lag that there is anything like a sensation in the community. I am sorry to record the death of Dr. Mat. P. Waller, an accomplished gentleman of our city. Dr. W. was of the old Waller stock of Williamsburg and that region, and married a daughter of the late Ex-Governor Tazewell, to whom he was distantly related. He had resided among us for a year or two previous to his death, and had won favorable opinions from all his acquaintances. I also regret to learn of the sudden death in Suffolk, of Dr. Dashiell, who was lately connected with the 16th Regiment of Virginia Volunteers, as Surgeon. It has occasioned much sadness. An epistolary contest appears on the columns of the Norfolk Day Book, Captain E. Burroughs, the active commander of the Chesapeake Light Cavalry, maintains the claim of members of his company and others, whom he names to be the rightful captors of the crew of the United States transport schr.

But they do hope to hold their present line — to make Maryland a Yankee State--to keep a firm grasp upon Alexandria — to run the kingdom of abolition deep into the heart of Virginia — to make Virginia the border State, in any negotiation for peace which they may hereafter present — to render negro property valueless in that portion of the State--to drive slavery gradually back, according to the plan of Col. Hugh Forees, as developed after John Brown's unsuccessful attempt to produce an insurrection — to render Virginia a Yankee State, and to clear it entirely of negroes, as they will do in less than thirty years, if they be allowed to make it a frontier State There lies our great danger, and we deem it highly proper to point it out. It is the fear of this consummation that renders the whole population of Virginia so uneasy. It is this which induced them to hope — while there was yet room for hope — that an advance would be mad
Lincoln (search for this): article 1
The Approaching Elections. --The election for President, members of Congress, are close at hand. They take place on the first Wednesday in next month. With regard to the Presidential election we have nothing to say, except that it is important for every man who has a vote to give it. The Yankees, with Lincoln at their head, have been contending all along that the secession of the Southern States is a mere partizan movement on a small seale, gotten up by discontented politicians, and that the great body of the people not only do not sympathize with it, but are at heart bitterly opposed to it. This is or was one of the pretexts alleged for invading the State of Virginia. It was contended that a reign of terror existed here, and that the people voted under its influence. It was confidently stated that if freedom of choice were allowed, the large majority would be found opposed to secession, and the Federal army was designed to set opinion at liberty, and enable the friends of t

It is this which induced them to hope — while there was yet room for hope — that an advance would be made upon Maryland. It is this consideration which should forbid them to vote for any man who could be supposed capable, under any difficulties, under any danger, to consent to an understood at once, through this election, that Virginia never will lay down her arms as long as there is a Yankee soldier on her soil, or on the condition that Maryland is to be the Yankee frontier. We trust, that in the multitude of candidates before the people, they will make their choice with an eye single to the grea

Hastings Court. --Recorder Caskie and Aldermen Sanxay, Hray, Binford, and Lipscomb presiding. The case of Albert Rush, a slave, on an appeal from the judgment of the Mayor, was continued to the next term of the Court. The charge upon which this negro was arrested is the larceny of coal from Wm. H. Davis. The proceedings against Mordecai Carnell, Wm. Coghill, Robert A. Mayo, and Thomas Bass, for permitting their slaves to go at large, were dismissed. Rules were awarded against John H. F. Mayo, George E. Bond, and Thomas J. T. Talbott, to show cause why they should not be fined for permitting their slaves to go at large; which rules are to be returnable to the next term. The court adjourned for the term yesterday. Judge Lyons will commence his term on Monday next.
