BRurAb MuRDER.-On Monday night
last, am affray occurred between Henry
Lively and Samuel Watson, at The planta-
ton of Mrs. Combs, about five miles from
THIS place, which resulted in the murder Of
the latter ia a most inhumAn AMI Aenlish
manner.
Watson was at the time very much In
toxioated, and had used sone indecorous
language to Mr.. Sharp, o young gentle
man residing on the plantation, who turn.
ed him oiftho place, and ordered him 10
80 home, but as he did not immediately
leave, he was assaulted by Lively with a
loaded whip and beaten in such a manner
as to cause his death in u few hours. A
warrant was issued on thursday for the ar.
rest Of Lively, but too late for his appre,
hension. Watson had a large family, an
leaves a wife aud four or five children I,
mourn his loss.
It's hoped that the murderer may b,
speedily arrested, and justice dealt /
him in accordance with the magnitude ofhi
cline.
