ATROCIOUS MURDERS.

For few days past we have been in
possession Of The fact of most barbaron,
deed having been committed in Texas
The particulars of which were furnished US
yescrday-bui from certain reasons with
held its publication till now.
The facts, as narrated 10 US bv Mr.. j..
w. Moore, brother Of Com. Moore, are
thus:-On the 9th inst, Mr.. Simeon Bale
man, aboul "A years of age, and worthy
planter Of Texas. Mr.. Matthew Jeu and
a man named J, Sllullz, were travelling
from Gonzales county by land to Calves
ton. At night they arrived within mile
of Virginia Point. from which place there
is ferry to Galveston. Not knowing ex-
acIly where they were. as it is supposed,
The party lay down in the prairie 10 sleep.
During The night. and it seems just before
day, Shultz got up. and with pistol n
each hand placed himself over the sleep
ing forms of 'Baleman aud Jett. and pa.
cling pistol a, The head OF each, shot them
both at once. Besides the wound in The
head Of Jett, his throat was also Gu, from
ear 10 ear. |, appears that Mr.. Bareman
must have made considerable resistance
after being shot; his head anu face show
ing tie signs Of blows, and from broken
rifle pistol found near his body ii is pre-.
sumed that, after shooting him, Shultz'
heat him with the weapon. There was
also the mark of a shot in the lip over the
mouth, bcsidelhe one in his head; but uot-
withsra ,dinS all this he lived some twenty
four hours after.
On The evening Of The 9Th inst, gen.
lleman, travelling by the road leading
Id Virginia Point, discovered the body Of
Mr. Jet; ii was enveloped in blanket as
he had laid down TO sleep. The gentle
man did moi think that the man he saw
was dead, but supposed that il was a per,
son lying IN wait for mischief. He there
fore al once turned out of bis way, and
going to house induced The people he
there found 10 accompany him hack 10 the
spot. wherc, on arriving il was discovered
that murder had been committed. At
some distance from the body Of Jel,, Mr..
Baleman was found no was still alive,
hut unable to speak or 10 show any signs
of consciousness. The opening Of the eyes
aud a heavy breathing were The only signs
of life he manifested. Shortly after this
he expired.
On the following day. the 9th. the news
of the murders having reached Galveston.
number Of people repaired 10 the scene
of bu,chery, when the unfortunate victims
were recognized by a Mr.. w. H. Killen.

company with Ba,eman and Jett on The
9Th inst, one Of The persons present when
The bodies were recognized having met Inc
party OH that day aboutlwen'y miles from
Virsinia Point.
Mr.. Ba,cman, as is stated above, was a,
planter of responsibility, and possessed OF
some wealth. II is kuo,rn that he had
some $4,000 upon his person on leaving
home, and was on-his way TO The city to
purchase slaves. Mr.. jet was a young
man of exemplary character. aoorl 70
years of age; was soldier in he batlle OF
San Jacinto, since which time he had
lived OIL the frontier; was a member Of
Capt. Hays Spy Company, ard good
one. He is supposed to have had about,
him when murdered from $500 to $1,000.
Sbrlz was overseer for MIR. Balemau,
and had been in the country but little over
a year. He has father at Columbus,
Miss. on The Bigbee river. Mr.. klllen,
who recognized the two murdered men,
also knows Shultz, and saw him in Gal
weston the day after the murders: but he
then knew nothing of the affair." He saw
Shultz leave on board of the steamship
New York for this city on the same day.
These facts being public. the citizens
of Galveston, with praiseworthy prompti-.
tude. chartered vessel for this, port. aud
employed Mr.. J, w. Moore. Dir. ;KiIIen.
and Mr.. J. Fl. w. Chapman, The City Mar
shall of Galveston. TO come On in pursuit Of
Shullz The party arrived here on Tues
day, and soon ascertained that Shultz had
gone to Mobile, wehre he arrived last
Sunday. Xillen and Chapman have gone
to Alabama in pursuit., and Moore has
gone up The Mississippi, 10 visit a son Of
Baremnn, and TO Intercept Sbullz. should
the other party not secure him. We think
the chances are hat the inhuman wretch
will soon be nvertaken, and sincerely do
we hope he may.
ShuIlz is described as about % years Of
age, feet inches high. weighs about 130
or 1d0 pounds; is slender, has sharp fea-
lures, dark hair, grey eyes, and had no
whiskers when he left Galveston; has a
quick walk and feminine voice. He
purchased in Galveston black palefot coat
heavily braided, with velvet collar and
facnes; il had no buttons behind, bul was
stitched across The back.
The sornf Balenian, mentioned above.
is said 10 be gentleman of wealth, and
will no doubt give liberia reward TOR the
apprehension ofthe murderer of his father;
In addition to this, ihere.will certainly
be reward offered by the government for
the artes, OF ShuItz.
1t is evident that robbery was the only
motive for the murder of the unfortunate
men. MOI cent was found upon their
persans, and Shullz we'll knew that both
had money.
