Dear Sir: A terrible tragedy took place neaFo
ly opposite this place Grand yCegnfle island,
on the morning of The 9th inst, j'tsl before day.
Mr. Alexander George, :he proprietor Of the is
land, was assussinat,d by one Of his slaves. The
scoundrel entered The house ab put O'clock, end
attacked his sleeping master with knife, made Of
the upper part of grass blade, He inflicted some
sixteen wounds upon the breast back and arrps OF
his victim, but yet Mr.. George had the physical
power TO rise on his feet, WE 81 The weapon rom
the negro, and stab him severely in the side. He
Would undoubtedly have kill d The negro but for
his previous loss oil blood By this lime the noise
Of the scuffie aud the shouts Of Mr George brought
to his house his other slaves and white man in
his employ, who slept not far off. They found
Mr.. George staggering about the floor wctcring
in blood, and with the fatal biadein his hands, He
exclaimed here is the knife with WHICH jim. has
killed mc." Mr.. George was placed on. The bed,
and immediately called for paper 10 write his VIII
With wonderful moral power and tenacily of pur-
pose, the blood gushing from his breast at every
respiration, he wrote his Will in few words, mp
pointed his executors but had not power 70 sion
his name. The last,word that he.wrote was Stre3
land, :, and the pen literally dragged on The paper
and dropped from his dying hand. He wrole
in large blank book, and the paper is saturated
with blood No one who sees this fearful ieeta-
ment will doubt its Authenticity or ever orgetits
appalling appearance He, I'D just, time e, be;
Equeath his property TO his brothers and sisters In
the county of Derry, Ireland, when he expired,
In the meantime, the murderer had escaped;
but he was tracked TO the wafer by his blood,
where it was found that he had taken boat. The
neighbors Immediately made search and he was
arrested in tho afternoon, by Capt. Sadler, Mr.,
Weetns and Mr. Joiner, in u lnarsh near Fort
Pike. almost exhausted for The want Of blood. He
confessed that owing TO the severity Of his master
he had long meditated his murder, and that ne
one else was pryy to the act. On subsequent
examination before two magistrates 10 ST. Tam,
many, he endeavored TO implicate one Of The other
negroes and white man, but no credit was at
tached to his statements. He has bern sent to
Covinglon to Jail, and viii soon pay, the penalty
of his crime From circumstances that have since
come to light it seems that the deceased had
clear presentiment of his fate but took no precau
ton to avoid it. Mr.. George was an lrshman BY
birth, came to this country when boy, resided 10
Abingdon Va, (where he has relativcs) with the
Messrs. Triggs; afterwards at Augusta, in Geor-
ga, where he dealt in cotton He has relatives
