EMAIL US 		bullet William Conner BLOUNT Reverend Norfolk Virginian, Wednesday, January 17, 1866
CHARLES NELLUMS, a negro boy, about 12 years of age, was the chap who shot the Reverend yesterday (Tuesday, January 16, 1866). He was arrested by a policeman and has been charged.

Norfolk Virginian, Thursday, January 18, 1866
Death of the Rev W.C. BLOUNT: One of the most melancholy occurrences which has taken place in the community of Portsmouth for years, has resulted, as we apprehended, fatally. In our issue of yesterday (Wednesday, January 17, 1866), we alluded to the fact that the Rev W.C. BLOUNT had been shot while on his own premises, by a negro, who, like many of his caste, was carelessly firing off a weapon, which, we have since learned, was (line unreadable) ball. The ball penetrated the right side, passed around the body and lodged in the region of the left hip. The distressing affair occurred Tuesday morning (January 16, 1866). He died yesterday morning (Wednesday, January 17, 1866) at 2:00 am. We stated that the unfortunate gentleman was in an outhouse in the rear of his lot, but a contemporary states that he was standing near the rear of his lot and had been there but a few moments when the report of a musket was heard and shortly after, he was found lying on the ground in agony. We took occasion in our notice of this deplorable affair, to use plain terms, so that no doubt as to the import of our language could exist in the mind of the wayfaring man, even though a fool. We called the attention of the public and especially that of the Freedmen's Bureau having special charge of the free negro, to the criminal use of firearms by the ignorant and untutored negro, criminal, we mean, in its sheer carelessness. We referred to the absolute impotency of the municipal authorities of Norfolk and Portsmouth and we now reiterate that these authorities are impotent to inaugurate measures to suppress, yes, this is the word, suppress the liberty now licentiously indulged by Negroes, from the age of 12 years and younger, perhaps, up to that which is regarded as the age of manhood. This being a fact indisputable and admitted, there is no other tribunal or administrative authority, except this Bureau, to which we can appeal for relief from the existence of an evil which is becoming general, if not already so. We exercise a right which is possessed in common with every individual of society and not an exclusive one pertaining to the press alone. (Line unreadable) attention of the branch of the Freedmen's Bureau, established in this city, to this evil, this crying evil, this evil demanding the interposition of the authority with which it has been clothed, that it may put a stop to this indiscriminate use of fire arms, by free Negroes. Let the Freedmen's Bureau in this city issue some general order, or authoritative manifesto, in reference to this grievance. If the Bureau, having charge of all matters in which the free negro is implicated, do not possess the power to prohibit the use of firearms altogether by free Negroes, they surely can exercise authority sufficient to justify it in restricting their use within certain limits as in age and character and their criminally careless use by all ages and characters. Manifestoes of the civil authority to the same effect, would exercise but little influence upon the vicious of the free Negroes, and would hardly be regarded by some of them with the cold respect of a passing glance. They have been taught to know and to say: "A greater than Caesar is here," in the form of their Bureau. To it, they are aware, all difficulties in which they become involved, are to be referred. To it, they look up, not as a tribunal of stern and inflexible justice, where their cases will be dispassionately and impartially adjudicated, but on the contrary, as a Court which has been established in the midst of their former masters to mete out to them, not justice, but protection, protection in the scrapes and difficulties in which they may become involved with the white man. They look up and rightly so, to the Freedmen's Bureau, as their friend. They naturally infer that the judgement of friends may be calculated on as a judgment of mildness and mercy and not as a stern decision of unswerving justice. They expect the opposite scale, in which are weighed then (unreadable) and (unreadable), shall have (unreadable) it the influence of this Bureau, as a make-weight, to overbalance the rigidity of the right and the weight of the truth, which may be in the other scale. Hence, sealed with such impressions, the "paper bullets" from the reflective brains of Mayors reach them utterly without effect and harinless. It therefore, becomes expedient, if not necessary, to individual protection against criminal carelessness in the use of firearms by stupid and ignorant, or sensible and wise, free Negroes, that the Bureau should, either upon its own authority or as co-operating with the civil authority, absolutely prohibit the use of firearms by free negro boys, fixing a severe penalty for the violation of its order in this regard and using such terms in its language of prohibition as will impress the free negro mind with the conviction that the Bureau will carry out its purpose. In addition to this prohibition, it could regulate, we presume, the use of firearms by the grown up free negro, so as to prevent their discharge within the limits of the city, where the lives of men, women and children are daily put to hazard. The Rev Mr. BLOUNT, in the prime of his usefulness as a Christian pastor and man, may be safely pronounced to have been the victim of this infernal license and the example of his case calls aloud as from the sepulcher, in tones of earnest appeal in behalf of the living for the remedial action of this Freedman's Bureau. WILLIAM CONNOR BLOUNT was born in the County of Norfolk about the year 1820 and was, consequently, 46 years of age at the time of his death. He was the son of a Methodist preacher, as his mother was the daughter of one. At an early age, he came to live in the City of Portsmouth and was apprenticed to TALBOT G. LESTER, a worthy watchmaker in that town. At the death of Mr. LESTER, (unreadable) BLOUNT was received into the dry goods establishment of his guardian, Mr. J.A. JENKINS and while thus employed, being of a sprightly mind, he devoted his leisure hours to mental improvement and became prominent as a member of a boys, or young men's, debating society in Portsmouth. The improvement he thus derived was of much benefit to him. He subsequently went to Randolph Macon College, having determined to devote himself to the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He has been a minister of the Gospel for 18 years and was appointed to the station in Portsmouth in November last (1865). Through his instrumentality three churches were built in the Bedford Circuit and as a man of energy, he was sent here to build up again Dinwiddie Street Methodist Church. (Line unreadable) came deservedly popular as a preacher. During the late war, he was a missionary in the Army of the Southern Confederacy, visiting the camps and hospitals generally and like his Master, the Prince of Peace, "going about doing good." He leaves a wife and child and dies a good and poor man. His funeral sermon will be preached today (Thursday, January 18, 1866) by the Rev Dr. LEROY M. LOE at 8:00 pm at the Court Street Baptist Church, Portsmouth. His remains are to be conveyed to Petersburg on Friday morning (January 19, 1866). He was conscious up to the moment of his death and was impressed, from the time he was shot, with the conviction, judging form his remarks, that the act which has deprived him of life was designed. He deserved great credit for the position in life to which he attained and his melancholy end will astound, as well as grieve, a large circle of relatives and friends.

Norfolk Virginian, Thursday, January 18, 1866
Freedman's Court: Norfolk, January 17 - CHARLES HENRY NELLUMS, the boy who shot the Rev Mr. WM. CONNER BLOUNT, was sent to the Military Commission for trial.

Norfolk Virginian, Friday, January 19, 1866
The widow and orphan child of the late Rev WM. CONNER BLOUNT.
The Norfolk Virginian gave an elaborate account of the issue of yesterday (Thursday, January 18, 1866) of the melancholy facts connected with the untimely death, so to speak, though rigidly thinking, perhaps, no event in this world is untimely, of this estimable man, together with some of the incidents of his youth and subsequent life, up to the time of his decease. We are now called upon to discharge another duty, which devolves upon us, as journalist. He died a poor man. Like the vast majority of his caste, his annual stipend was barely sufficient to provide the necessaries of life for himself and family. Like many others, he invested the small means he had during the war, in Confederate bonds, which, as is well known, was a profitless investment, not only so, but a total loss. Solely and wholly dependent upon his small salary, as a minister of the Gospel, in the Methodist Episcopal Church, having no extra means at his disposal, cut off suddenly in the prime of life and the zenith of usefulness, in the humble but most important career which absorbed his attention and talents, his wife and infant find themselves absolutely destitute and dependent upon the charities of the world. We are not one of those who look upon this world as one of utter coldness and selfishness, nor upon our common humanity as utterly depraved and void of those holy impulses and sympathies which characterize our origin from God. When the chords of the human heart are properly attuned, when the miseries or misfortunes of our fellows are submitted to its interested gaze, and the untimely destitution of the widow and orphan are brought to its notice, a general sympathetic response is sure to follow and from those whom Providence (unreadable) and stressed from those who have not had rudely wrenched the human ties, which bind them to the husband, the father, the brother, a pouring forth of substantial aid, assistance and comfort, which can alone afford relief, is sure to be prompting of a common humanity. It is a cynical, cold and repugnant philosophy which regards mankind otherwise. There is much more good in the world than it has credit for. Tis true, goodness is not so noisy, not so blatant. We hear less of it. The faults and foibles of humanity are more dwelt upon. They are more apparent. They are less capable and less careful of concealment. Hence, the erroneous conclusion is too frequently drawn by some of the so-called teachers of society, that nothing good can come out of Nazareth. We think otherwise. There is much good in this world of ours. If it were not so, mankind would be destitute indeed. It is because we hold this view that we feel hopeful in calling the attention of our citizens to the objects which form the caption of this appeal. O, remember the blessed assurance of the Great Teacher and friend of mankind. Ye, that can give of your abundance and ye that have but little, here are surely objects that commend themselves by every consideration that can move your hearts! To receive the distressed, is at all times a duty, but, in this case, who will not feel that it is more blessed to give than to receive. We have dwelt upon this subject, because of its merits. Any who desire to contribute to the object, we have urged upon their notice, may leave their donations at the Franklin Savings Bank with Mr. J.C. DEMING, No 42 Bank Street or at the office of the Virginian.

Norfolk Virginian, Friday, January 19, 1866
What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter. This was the text of the discourse of the Rev Dr. LEROY M. LEE, delivered in the Court Street Baptist Church, upon the occasion of the funeral services of the late Rev WM. CONNER BLOUNT. The large church was filled to overflowing and the impressive remarks of the cloquent and learned divine were listened to with intense interest. His allusion to the intimate relationship, which existed between the deceased and himself, appealed to the tenderest sympathies of the human heart and drew tears of condolence and sorrow from the large assemblage. The Doctor took occasion to allude briefly to the crime against society of the dangerous license from which resulted the death of a warm friend, a useful man and a devoted and pious servant of the Almighty. We regret that the Rev Dr was pre-(unreadable) with our request for his discourse, which we desired to spread before our readers on Saturday morning, but his engagements did not afford him the necessary time. At the conclusion of his discourse, the Rev Mr. HUME offered up a prayer, which, with the hymn by the choir, "I would not live always", increased the solemnity of the occasion. The remains of the deceased were then followed to the ferry wharf by a large concourse of citizens and after reaching this city, were deposited on the Richmond boat. We take pleasure in adding that the proprietors of the steamer ‘Martin' generously and kindly convey the remains and the family and friends of the deceased, who accompany them, free of all charges to their destination.

Norfolk Virginian, Tuesday, January 23, 1866
Mysterious Affair: On Friday evening last (January 19, 1866), a shot was fired into the cabinet d'aisance of the Rev E.P. WILSON in Portsmouth, in which the son of the Reverend gentleman had shortly before entered. The ball passed within inches of young WILSON's personand lodged in the opposite wall. From the direction of the ball, the gun must have been discharged from the read and adjoining lot, which is occupied by Negroes. This affair occurred on the day that the remains of the Rev Mr. BLOUNT were taken to Petersburg and is similar to that which resulted in his death. This repetition has a squinting to method.

Norfolk Virginian, Friday, January 26, 1866
Suffolk, January 24th, 1866
Mr. Editor:
There is so little transpiring, usually, in a quiet country town, that a correspondent of a daily city journal finds little to interest the general reader. The untimely death of Rev WM. C. BLOUNT produced a considerable sensation in this place and the surrounding country, where he was known, and highly esteemed. That of which you complain, the carrying of arms by small boys and men of the colored race, is practiced here, much to the annoyance of the citizens. A majority of the recently freed colored people are no more fit to be trusted with a gun than they are with the right of suffrage. It has been only one year ago since Rev WM. H. BOYKIN, a well known and much loved minister of the gospel, was killed in Norfolk, by a shot fired by some unknown person. Verily, what are we coming to? A few days since, Mr. RICHARD WILLIAMSON, a worthy citizen of this place, left home to attend to some secular business at Tarborough, North Carolina and at Woodville, on his way, he was taken sick and died and was brought home to his family a corpse, before they knew that he was seriously ill, having only learned indirectly that he was slightly indisposed. Rev SAMUEL I. BAIRD, D.D., Agent of the Virginia Bible Society and of the American Bible Society, has been spending a few days here, and has succeeded in organizing a Bible Committee for the County of Nansemond, representing all the different religious denominations. The following are the names of the committee and their ecclesiastical connection: Methodist: Rev JAS. A. CROWDER, JOHN R. KILBY Esquire, WM. R. ELLIS Esquire. Protestant Episcopal: Rev GEO. T. WILLIAMS, NATHANIEL RIDDICK Esquire. Baptist: WM. D. MCCLENNY Esquire. Presbyterian: JOHN MURRAY Esquire. Christian: Rev W.B. WELLONS, THOMAS J. KILBY Esquire, Colonel ALEX. SAVAGE, Major JAMES R. SAUNDERS. The committee was organized by choosing Rev W.B. WELLONS, President; JOHN MURRAY, Secretary; JOHN R. KILBY, Treasurer; and WM. R. ELLIS, Depositary. The organization will undertake, at once, the good work of supplying all the families in the county without a copy of the Word of God, with a Bible or Testament, without note or comment. The colored people, also, who can read, will be supplied. Rev Dr. BAIRD occupied the Methodist pulpit in this place last Sabbath and Rev Mr. BABB of the Baptist Church, occupied the Christian pulpit, much to the edification of (unreadable).
