LITTLE Rock, Oct 6.
JNasrder.-We learn by gentleman from St.
Francis county, that murder of most atrocious
character, was perpetrated in that county on the
night Of the esd ut. on the body OF Mr.. Burrel
Jones. On that night, a short time after Mr.. and
Mrs Jones had retired to bed, two men on horseback
called at the house Representing themselves to be
trayeers) and inquired if they could procure lodg-
ings there for the night Mr. Jones and his wife got
up and went to the door, and after speaking to them
and inviting them to allight from their horses, MIR.

up some wood to kndle the fire. When within few
steps Of the supposed travellers, one of them snap

Singular fact.-Ihe Georgia Messenger in mott.
cling the recent murder of Mr.. Early in Texas, by
Isaac b. Desha, says, that it is supposed that Ear
ly was the son Of Governor Early, of Georgia, the
same who about two years since murdered an lnd
yidual in that state.-He made his escape, and the
fact of his murder is the first that has since been
heard of him. 1t is singular that both Desha and
Early should have been the OF men filling the
highest office in their respective States--that both
should have committed marder--that both should
have eluded justice-and that, meeting afterwards
in distant and comparatively unsettled country,
one should fall by the hands of the other. 1t is a
literal fullment OF that passage of the Bible which
declares, that 9 whose sheddeth mans blood, by
man shall his blood be she'd" There is something,
too like retrbution in one murderer's becoming the
! victim of another. 1t is ss even handed justice re-
r. turning the poisoned chace' to the lips of one whe
u had himself administered it to his fellow being.
