SAMUEL SKINNER. We learn from a credible source that the death of MR. SKINNER is supposed to have been occasioned by poison administered by his brother, a MR. JOHN SKINNER, who upon examination before the Magistrate of the County, at Lee's Mills last week, was committed for trial. Two Negroes, a woman and a man, living in the family of the deceased, were committed at the same time; who, it seems from their own confessions, were concdrned in the perpetration of this horrible deed.
