 Most Horrible Murder.--The Knoxville (Ten.) Register of the 20th, contains an ac. count of the most atrociouS outrage perpetra- ted at Athens on the 18th. A Mir. McMahan left home on business in the morning, leav- ing a negro boy about IS years of age with Mrs. Me Nfahan, her daughter II or l2 years of age, and child about a year old. During the day the negro murdered Mrs. NJ. and her daughter by cutting their heads nearly off with ah axe. The little child was not injur- ed, and was found fonding about his little murdered sister. The murderer had been heard of, but not captured.
 NOreI Understandable North American states that the office of military store-keeper at the Frankford Arsenal, abolished by Gen. Harrison. has recently been revived, and Thomas A. Cooper, the celebrated tragedian, appointed to fill the office. It adGs-One of President TyleF's sons married . daughter of MT. Cooper. Deaths in Neac- o, leGns-We were fnrcibly struck, in looking over this formidable array of deaths, numbering about 700. 10 notice nearly all of them were between 20 and 35 all indeed young men, very few compara- lively above or below that age. The great body of them were French, Irish, and Ger mans; a much less number were from the United States than would be supposed. We account for the dreadful mortality from the fact, that large portion of Americans that are not acclimated leave. But unfortunately 1 foreigners who are adventurers have not the money, OF the facilities to get away, and con- seQuently fall sacrifice to the epidemic.- | It is fair to suppose that not more than one l in three who are seized die; if that is cor. 1 rect, there must have been 5000 who have taken the disease. If the white population was reduced to 10000. as we presume it was the mortality was fearfully great and # the residents be taken from that number, very few strangers escaped sickness or death. N '.
