MURDER I, IlANp ROBBERY.

On Monday ynSgltt last between the
hoursof II and 3 '6'cloeb3 q most lnhus
man murder was committed inthe county
Of Simpson, attendbdsgitll me robbery Of
large amount Of money
Mr. Samuel Brolca, aged 96 ysagst 1sdd
his partner aged "a, had retlten 'that
night, as usual, TO repose, shielded by the
respect due to age and the laws Of the.
land During the night some unknown
villains entered the house, took them from
their bed into the piazzi, and most inhu-
manly tomahawked and murdered them.
They next proceeded to murder all the ne'
groes they could find, but succeeded in
destroying only three, whom they alter
wards burnt. Two negro women and
eight or ten children escaped to spread
1 the intelligence Of the sad catastrophe.
Mr.. Brown had from seven to ten thou
sand dollars in specie in the house, which
he had lately procured some younger
persons to count over for him. also con-
siderable amount in bank notes. The
former was all stolen and the latter left.
The scoundrels were anxious 10 leave no
clue by which they might be traced. But
an incensed community is awa6e and on
the alert. Suspicion, we are told, is fix
ing on various persons. Some think the
occurrence is due to some Of the famous
Murel clan, others attribute it to different
characters. We know nothing; but trust
that deeds which scarcely have parallel
in the black catalogue Of crime, may be
traced 10 the real actors, and condlgn
vengeance oyertake them. -BraadOn Re.

MIJRDER IN MISSISSIPPI.

We understand by agenteman recently
from Mississippi, that an affair OF u most
sanguinary character occurred in one OF
the adjoining counties IN that State, IN
which three lives were lost. According
to the statement of our informant, II ap-
pears that three brothers OF the names OF
Dir0n, had entertained Tor some length OF
time an enmity against a gentleman OF the
name oI Peers, They all unfortunately
met at some public resort IN their nelgh,,
borhood, when an alteration commenced
between the parties, and the DiXons, who
were armed, compelled Peters to leave the
place without his horse, and to walk SIX
miles TO his residence. On arriving at
home. he armed himself with double
barreIed shot-gun, pistols and bowle-knIie,
and Immediately returned to the place
where the brothers had competed him &c
depart. Peters saluted the Dixons IN a
civil and complaisant manner on his re7
turn, and received in answer, discharge
from a shotgun, two balls from which
took effect in his breast, and two struck
against his bowie-knife. He returned the
fire and shot down two Of the Dlxons, and
Gelled the other one to the ground with the
butt end of his pistol, after this ne lmme'
diately sunk down and expired. One OF
the Dixons expired on the spot, the other
fingered a short period, when death put an
end to his suffering: the one who was
felled to the earth recovered. This dread
full carnage has created great excitement
in the Observation-Disclosures" (AIa)
paper.

We regret that it has become our duty
to announce the death OF Z Z. MAYSoNl
ESQ. Of Jackson. He was native OF
South Carolina, and defendant Of tam
ily Of the highest respectablity. Ho was
educated in New Haven, Connecticd,, after
which he returned to his nauye state
and was honored with seat IN the lower
branch of the Legislature.
About six or seven years ago, Mr. Ma
son came to this State, aud established the
first State Rights paper published IN the
great Valley Of the Mississippi At the
commencement Of this enterprise, he had
strong and obstinate prejudces to encoun-
ter. The old State Rights doctrines Of
Jefferson, Taylor, and Madison, were al
most totally lost sight of, except in the
State of South Carolina, and she stood as
.'one crying in the wilderness" the victim
OF the denunciation, detractlon, and hate,
for her principles, of even her Southern
sisters, which if she had sunk, must have
inevitably perished with her. Under az
these disadvantageous circumstances, Mr.
NJ. having to endure the preJudlcos whlch
existed against his native State, and her
political opinions, he continued to sustain
his paper. with much industry and ability,
until he was elected State Treasurer. On
being elected to this office, whose duties ne
continued faithfully to discharge until his
dea.h, he sold his press, there being nearly
ono half of the papers in the State, at the
time, advocating the State Rights doc
trines.
1t must have been gratifying TO Mr.. NJ,
to have lived long enough to see his prln.
