From ne Haa,,r,R1 Democrat, NAY ..

rom nc FIhHfNtftf fHt my -
A murder. OF a most foul and daring character,
WIS pefpctfaled On the 25fh uil. nen Columbus,
Mss. Mr.. tmLIkS WmrF, Of Russellvllle, Ala,
formerly a resident Of ills cnuutN,) had been on a
yisil 10 Mississippi, on business, and left Columbus
on lie evening of the day mentioned. When lew
miles on is journey, on tho military road lie was
inhumanly m%ut,.niod by some hellsh tiend. From
lbo alluation o(lhe wounds, II would appear that he
was rldinp with ls murderer, WHO SHOT hun ~ an
uususpeotng moment, While his bead was ltitnod a
side. Two balls were shot through his hedd-one
on the nghi side, just below the ear. winch side
bore the marks Of pnwdrl-and the oll1ol, III iiohl,
above Tie iorelcaa. a iiendlsh ihlrst 10, gold, It IS
thought, must have prompted the murderer 10 this
d%arsning al Of clinc, a rliItsl which he faded 10
CRAFTY, as II Is believed HAT he obtalned not one
cent from HE victim o. his c%upldty. The general
impression was, (says The Columbus peinocf1t')
that lo was mistaken IN The man, that II was ms III
tentlon to mnldof aud rob another individual some
what resembling Nh. WAiic. vino was known 10 have
u considerable amount Of gold, and who was navel
me the same road, anl WIS only a few miles behlud
when the deed WIS done.
Mr.. White was u gentleman of integrity and res
portability, and M boutsl and worthy member OF so
eicry. He had VISITED Mississippi with the lntcn
non OF becoming a oiuZen, aud had made aIIauge-
ucuts to calty his Intentions into effect. aud WAS Ic.
turning to lls family. But, all, 40 more shall the
bosom Of the wife swell with pr,de nj the manly
voice Of the husband no more shall the merry
laugh 81 hls llttle oaes cheer the hcau of the father.
The fond endearncuts 81 the family citcle must be
s1touded IN gloom, and The bright hopes OF parent
and child be bllgllsd.
The citizens Of Columbus have subscribed Sl21o
Tor the apprehension oftle murderer Several com
lanies were IN pursuit, with a prospect OF ovellaklng
linn \ gentleman who was IN the woods, near
where the deed was done and who heard the ,epoll
OF the pistols, saw an Individual iidIug at lulI speed,
and who refused 10 siop whru hailed. He it's Ihuughl
IS the murderer. Il is 10 be hoped thai he may spec.
dIy he brought to justice.
