Aiding negroes to escape.

--Two negroes, named Joe Hollins, slave of Talbott & Bro., and Robert Marshall, belonging to C. Rose, charged with aiding and abetting slaves to escape from their masters into the Yankee lines, were brought before the Mayor for examination. Passes, written by these negroes, were exhibited in Court, signed in a good hand, by "Capt. Thomas Gilliam. "--The signature was evidently a forged one, and the Mayor, deeming the offence proven against them, they were sent on to the next term of the Hustings Court for farther examination.
