Mrier Of Aisrander Georgia. cor
respondent ofrhe New Orleans Soulherner
gives the following account of the assassin
alton of Mr.. Alexander George, at Grand
CoquiIle island, OIL the 9th inst, by one Of
his slaves. Mr.. George was proprietor Of
the island. The negro, says the letter,
entered The house about o'clock, and at
tackled his sleeping master with knife,
raade of the upper part Of grass blade.
lie inflicted some sixteen wounds upon the
breast, back, and arms Of his victim, but
Mr.. George had the physical power to rise
on his feet, wrest the weapon from the
negro, and stab him severely in the side.
The noise of the scule and the shouts Of
Mr.. George, brought 10 The house his other
slaves and white man in his employ,who
slept mol far off. They found Mr.. George
staggering about the floor, wellering with
blood, and with the fatal bladein his hands.
lie exclaimed, "here Is the knife with
which jim has killed me-" He was placed
on the bed, and Immediately called for
paper to write his will. With wonderful
moral power aud lenaci:y Of purpose, the
blood gushing from his breast al every re-
spirallon, he wrole his will, i'll a few words,
and appointed his executors, but had, not
tho power to sign his name. The last
word that he wrote was "Ireland," and the
pen literally dragged on the paper, and
dropped from his dying hand. He wrote
it in large blank book, and The paper
is saturated with blood. No one who sees
this fearful testament will doubt lis auhen-
,icty, or ever forget its appalling appear
ance. He had just time to bcqnealh his
property to his sisters in the county OF
Derry, lrel nd, when he expired. In the
mean time, the murderer escaped but
he was tracked 10 The water by his blood,
where it was found that he had taken a
boat. The ncighoors made search, and
he was arrested in The afternoon, in a
marsh near Fort Pike, almost exhausted
from the loss Of blood. He confessed that,
