Nothing can be more ingenious than this. If there
be any good in the hereditary principle at present, it la
because it secures to the heir of a till* a right and a

from Sustex joined with Ihe real on the o'her tide oi

Oar Court immediately convened, end in consult**
liou with Judge Taylor proceeded to adopt measures
ol precaution at borne while Ibey extended iheir vie we
to the succor ol our follow clttzm* ol Southampton._
At the request ol the Court, C«l. W.inwtight, com*
mending the Marine Coip*, promptly attended ile de
liberations, and tendered his services with that ol hie
corps in any manner ia which Ibey might bo nquired.
Ii waa deemed, advlssblo however, ty the Court, not
to draw upon that rerourca except In case of a stronger
necessity tbau that which appeared in their judgineut
at the time to exiai. It was ascertained that arms and
ammunition could be obtained from the dr pot at the
Navy Yard, and that Com. Warringloo woul I prompt
ly furnish them at any moment, and to any amount.
The Cmrt then directed the Mayor to make applies*
lion to Cal. House, the commanding «filter at Fortreae
Monroe for as many United States troop* as could
he spared, and also to tha United Stales ship*
Natchez and Warren for their inarioee; and order
ed the employment of the steam-bo.t Hampton to
take them on to Suffolk with xll poasible despatch_
The Hampton having made her regularly weekly trip
to Siniihfield that day, did not return till nearly 9
o’clock, end II wee 1 o’clock before she was able to start
for Old Point, eonseqiently Col. House did not rece;v«
the despatch from the Mayor uotil 8 in the morning
when il wee delivered to him by Capt. Capron of tbo
Norfolk Independent Volunteers, whs was charged
with that aerviee. The Colonel very promptly ordered
three companies, with a field-piece, to be embarked on
board the Hampton, under the order*ol Colooel Worth
and Major Kirby, aud at 6 o’elork the boat left the
Paint and called alongside the N.tehrz and Warren
then lying in the Roads, to present the despatch** from
the Mayor—The request was promptly and bands'-u *.
ly met by Com. Elliot on boarJ th* Natchez, and C.p-,
Cooper ol the Warren. Com. Elliott acted wi h In*
uaual gallantry on this oceaiioo, volunteering, in addi
tion to the murine*, a aelect torn* ol saam*(i( ut der the
command of hi. flag eaptaio, Newton, aod, although
juat returned from a long aud Utiguing ciuiz*. be went
id person, to command *1 the detachment* from >h< two
ship*. The expedition arrived at Suffolk au Wednes
day.
A variety of rumor* and exaggerated e,element*, (■«
uaual In such csss*,) kave been in eircula'lot; it de-d
nothing U known with certainly but the ptieful (act
that 6fty eight person* have been maatacred—the r a nn
o( t he (amiliea to which the principal part of the euffar
era belonged are given -below. All aecounte, how
ever, eoaeer in representing the .flT.ir a* one which
originated with a few. w thou, any cooeert or under
standing even with the tlaveeol their own county. The
pttWIehcd bslow, (from a highly reapectable in*
dividual ) ie explicit on *hia head. The number that
aemmouc-j the blovd.y work waa only ceven; thren
tPO’.le men and feur black*—mere marauder* bant on

aued the game o( murder in mere wan<on epart I ! ! At
thay followed tkeir deaolating career from family *o
family, they pressed all the men of their own co’.i-r
whem they fell in with to join them on pain of death
and thua accumulated a farce of between ooe and iw©
hundrad. From the Croaa Key*, it appear*, thay took
be dlreedenof Seulb Quay, probably with the view
of retreating into the Dumal Swamp, whara it will b©
difficult to dialedge them.
The alarm was spread throughout (he county as ex
peditiously as possible, and the militia callad out to as
semble at the village of Jerusalem, but euch was the
confusion and dismay, that it waa not until Tuesday
evening that the regiment could he mustered; detach
ments, however, were dent off on Monday night of
those who had reached the rendezvous at that time and
•ome skirmishing is said to have taken place, which
resulted in killing and capturing several of the brigands.
There has been a general turning out of Ihe militia
in the neighboring counties both in Virginia and North
Carolina. In Southampton, as well as Nanseinond and
Isle of Wight, the deficiency of fire-arms, but more to
that ol ammunition, is much complained of: they hare
no musket balls, and in tho former county many per
sons have to u#e fowling pieces and liird-shot.
Another Express from Suffolk reached here on Wed
nesday, with a despatch from Major Benton, of the
Nanseinond regiment, requiring immediate aid lor
r?r*!?*u*P.t0n' tT,he force u,“,er Fol. Worth and Tom.
Elliot, had not arrived when the express left Suffolk 1
I here was not se much want of inlantry as mounted
men and riflemen, and suitable arms and ammunition
lor horsemen were also much wanted. We have no
cavalry in commission, but about 30 citizens of Nor
folk and I ortsmouth, soon mounted and equipped them
selves, anJ started for Southampton tho same eveninir
I istols, cutlasses and ball-cartridges in abundance
were also furnished by Com. Warrington, and forward
er on to Suffolk.
