The boy begged. the overseer to spare him, but deemning the chastisement merited, the fiere !rpersigted in floggng him. r. atwhile .t, oy caught 7hold of the: akhothe oyerseer ordered him to let go -butihomould not, andthe over seerpgave biA.a kick. In thejpassion 4f. tijmest, the boy seized an iron poer, laing at his feet, alnd,,struck th Merner..a blow, which fjlled him to thegraid. The boy then.let.drop th'o,#kecr.and ran down the stajrs Vq.,qverseer rising instantly, ran in pvrwnt of him. It was verj abon as qrtained that the overseer was serious ly . injured;' a surgeon was called in; froi. an examination it was evident that the skull had been fractured ; an 4peration was performed, but it b .rught no relief to the patient, and 4n-the.. speond day after the blow was strpig he died. . The negro was arrested, tried, and pn proof of the foregoing facts, con victed and sentenced to be hung on 2i2d April Application was made to Governor Johnson, either to pardon the conviet or to commute the sen terie' of death, into some less severe pihrnent. The Governor declined, ut'did however grant a reprievb of a fortnights' duration. Meanwhile some seventy-five or one hundred of the iost eminent and respectable citizens -4f',-khmond, laid before the Execu -dga petitifon, prayin a Commutation "of 41ha punishment which the boy was bonidemned to suffer, in consideration ,if'tho fabte, that the crime of which 1tjv-as guilty was -not murder, Caut - simply manslaughter-that beyond all etstion he had no intention of taking he life of the overseer, whose death Swas the result of accident, rather than decsign, and also in consideration of the youi of the convict, he being only .seventeen years of age. The Governi ogas constrained by the urgent ap pealof Gi-e~ij gy 1 frcs . of its arguments, and.. the great fesipecta 'bility and influence of the gentlemen who had signed it, to recede froin his determination to suffer the sentenice of lawv to be executed upon the boy, and to commute his punishment into trants portation for life. An indignation meeting was called .by advertisement in the newspapers, placards posted along the streets. In response to this invitationi, some faten hundred or two thousand pier eons-a savage, seething mllti tude, H-pe for riot anid sedition-assembled en1 the evening of the 7th inst., in th2 Qity Hall.

We extract'tho following from a let ter from Balthnore'to the'Washington Telegraph: A young man nained Force hiis been residing partly in iiuis city and partly in Wiishington for some nionths past. le is oi'iginailly from St. Louis, but more recently from Texas. I learn, upon what may be deemed good authority, that he is"about to MOeome distinguished as a mechanical geniius. I-ie is said to have invented A&gTa tented a new motive power which bida fair to supersede both si: am atid Wia ter. It is stated tiat a model of the machine is already in existence, 'd that it has been patented with anlr. junction of secrecy f;r a certain tidme. So cautious has lie beeln to avoid i'. fringement, that he'had one part of the machinery, neessarV to the comple tion of his engine' made in New-Om leans, another part in Baltimore, anoth er in Philadelphia, and another in New York. T.he separate. parts thus- con structed were, in due time, collected in Biaitiniore -and put together by the in ventor himself in a rooni into which no person has been permitted to enter. It is asserted that the machine work ed to the full satis~ietion and beyond the expecttions of those most deefly interested in it. I have had intro duction to, aid some conversation with, the inventor. The only idea I could glean in regard to his invention was, that it brought the atmosphere into use as a powerful motive agetnt, amounting almost to independent self action. It is asserted-and the truth of the assertion, of course, will be es tablished or falsified when the inven tion is made publie-tflt this - new momentum can be so increased as to propel the largest ocen steamers, or brought down and suited to the deli. cate movement of' a watch. Nothing will be f'ound to bear the slightest coi parison to it in point of utility and completeness as a motive power. I give you this staiteient as I have ob tained it, upon what inmy be deemed good authority. . The inventor is qu' 4 a young n1an, with good common sense and mitch shrewdness, thouigth of amderate educa tiori. It is his purpomse,. I am forthuer informed, to- proceed to Europe anmd obtain p~atenits there; and that he dloes not design having the patent or princi ple of his inverjtioni made pulblici here until time has1 been allowed to secure it from puiracy in other countries. Sonic three oir four distinguishedl gen tlenmen-mji of wealth and influence -are peciarily interest egl -with him in'the p: -.1t. One~. or aore of thei design accompanying him to Europe. Th'ley set sail probably in .1 une next, and perinips a mionthi or-six weeks sub. se ~wit to their sailing, the palten-t or moidi.l will be exhibited in the United Stat es.
