- MURDER rY A S1AvF.-We learn from the
New-Oreans Picayune, that Samuel S. foS was
murdered on his plantation, a few miles above
yicksburg, by runaway slave Of his own, on the
morning of the lth inst. He was riding out in
one Of his fields when he came upon the negro,
who had gun. The negro Immediately fled,
when Mr.. Fox sen, one OF his boys back 10 the
house for Ais gun, and galIoped on after him. Be-
fcrc the boy could return gun was discharged
and on approaching the direction from which the
sound emarated, he was found stretched upon his
back, weltering in his own gore. The murderer
had not been taken.
