MURDER.-Last night between 9 and 10 o.
clock, as the steamboat Gen. Scott was leaving
our wharf, difficulty arose between two of
the hands of The boat which terminated by one
receiving fatal stab from the hand of the 9TH
er. The facts, as near as we could learn, are as
follows: James Currey, whose duty it was to
keep the engine creased and in order, was de-
tanned at his work until after his mess had got
through with their supper, and when his task
was done he went to the usual place of eating
where he found mother mess engaged-picking
up plate for the purpose of helping himself
he was accosted by deck hand, named Joseph
Brown, with these words, ''You are Id dir
ty greaser," TO which Currey retorted pretty Sc
verely, after bandying words short time Cur
~ took his plate to the cook house to get his
supper, and the quarrel had apparently dropped.
Returning again near TO where Brown was
seased. he (Brown) d second time made use OF
the above language, and sharp words again
passed between them. Brown, at this time
being on his feet, stopped down for the pur-
pose of getting the knife he had been eating
with and as soon as he raised with it Currey
struck him blow with his fist and immediate
ly afterwards he (Currey) was heard to exclaim
81 am murdered" Brown escaped 10 the wheel
house where he was discovered after the boat
had got under head way, but she Immediately
rounded too, and the murderer was committed
90 Jail to stand his trial at the September term
Of the Circuit Court.
The sum of one hundred and twenty dollars
in gold was found upon the person of the muir
dred nan.

slys he subscribes fully to all the resolutions

form for this year and declares that he will un-

curious as to his present position in relation
10 matters that he has been upon all possible
sides of within the last three or four years.
''Pray hat do the Locofocos think now ola

they denounced and ridiculed Gen. Harrison for
moi answering all the questions they chose to
put to him? how they called him .'Gen NUM-"
how they wrote him letter after letter insisting
on answers? and how, when they could get an
swers in no other way, they sent a committee
