SINGULAR AND ArRoCGoUs ATTEMPT AT
MURDER-A gentleman who came down Inc
river yesterday, has Informed US OF The Par'cu'
lars of the most diabolical attempt at murder
last week, some twelve miles below ClarksvIlle,
by Young man named Wynn, son of a widow
lady of that county. Wynn had stolen OFT two
of his mothers negroes, and sold them in MIS-
sssppi. On returning from Nicksburg he
formed an acquaintance and friendship with
youns man from Ohio or Pennsylvania, whose
name our informant did not recoIlect. Al the
mouth of the Cumberland, Wynn induced this
Young man to 90 up home with him, by proml'
sing to 90 on with him to Ohio or Pennsylvania
in a short while Some twelve miles below
Clarksville they both landed, Wynn stating that
they would take by path. near way TO his
mothers house. They had proceeded short
distance when Wynn, the other young man be-
ing in advance, drew pistol and shot the
Young nan in the neck. The wound, though
/, only grazed The neck, passing through the
hair, brought him to the ground. Wynn then
beat him over the head with his pistol; and, TO
make still surcr, took out his knife and drew II
across his neck on both sides, cutting through
his cravat and inflicting deep gashes, though
wi,hou, cutting the arter es. Wynn then rifcd
his pockets, taking considerable sum of mo-
ney from about his person. He then rIfied his
companions trunk, and after satisfying himself
by turning over the body and calling to him by
name that he was dead, he returned 10 the river
and crossed over to Palmyra 10 take all ONO
boat then lying there.
When he was gone, the young man so far re.
red as to he able to reach the river, where
he detailed the facts above given, describing
the money taken from him and the clothes Ia
ken out of his trunk by Wynn. Pursuit was
made and Wynn was arrested in Pal lmyra' The
money found in his possession, and in short
full and pc r(ect confederation established OF the
young mans narrative. Wynn was taken be-
lore an examining magistrate and committed 10
iai. Wynn is not more than lS or l9 years
of age. more horrible instance OF human
depravity has not come within our knowledge
for many years.-Mrmphis Enquirer.

last accounts from Canada trouble was expected.
AT Montreal, on Monday, a meeting OF the
friends and adherents of Mr.. Papineau was to

French on their success in overthrowing the
monarchy and establishing rePubIicansm. The
authorities had forbidden tho meeting, and the
guards at all the post were doubled in cxPecta-
ton OF trouble. So says The informant OF the
New York Tribune, and it is likely to be true.
HoNoR1Nt A PRIvATE.-A very consldera.

Washington county, Md, in honor of MIR. James
