MURDER.-lt was but last week that
we had to chronicle the death of one OF
our citizens who had perpetrated the act
of suicide. We are now called upon to
announce the death of another citizen of
this county, but not by his own, but by
the hands of a fellow man.
On Sunday morning Peter German;
Esq. in the absence of the Coroner, was
called upon to visit the residence of James
IL. Beatty for the purpose of holding an
inquest on the body of Samuel Glidewell
who had been shot down in the yard of
Beatty. From the testimony before the
inquest, the jury felt authorized in render
ing verdict, that the deceased had come
to his death by the hands of James H
Beatty
AS soon as the information of the death
of Glidewell had reached our acting Sher-
iff he raised posse and went out in search
of the offender.
1t appears that the killing took place
about 10 O. clock at night, Glidewell was
shot by Beatty with shot gun having
several large shot in it, all of which pen
etrated the left side; and produced death
Immediately. No one was present at the
time, except Mrs. Beatty and son II
years DID, AS soon as the deed had l,een
committed. Beatty went to his brother s
who lived half a mile off, stayed all night,
and early in the day on Sunday he came
to town for the purpose of giving himself
up and to employ council i'll the case
The Sheriff being out then in search of
Beatty, he could not surrender to him. He
tfow mill int ha rlx,
in the direction of his residence, and
stopped at the house of neighbor. The
Sheriff, returning to town late in the even
ing finding Beatty had been in, immedi-
ately returned in search of him. He was
found at the house of neighbor where
he had stopped and put up for the even
ing. Beatty was arrested, Brought back
TO tow n, kept in custody until Tuesday,
when the case was submitted to a court
of enquiry consisting of Justices German
and McLauchlin.
Much time and labor was consumed in
taking the testimony in the case. and its
argument before the court; which labors,
however terminated about IL O'Clock at
night, in the commitment of the accused,
the court being of opinion that bail could
not be allowed him without doing violence
to the law Of the land We learn that
the council for the prisoner intends apply
ing for writ of ho6es corpus in few
days.
Drinking whiskey and family quarrels,
seems to have been the principal causes
which lead to this unpleasant and un ior-
tunate affair. Glidewell and the accused
were brothers-iL-law, he having married
a sister Of Glideweil
We do not wish to give any thing
more than a general statement of the
facts and occurrences i'll this case, as we
feel no disposition to claim the right o
prejudicing the public mind before proper
investigation shall be had, and the accus-
ed found guilty or acquitted by jury OF
his countrymen.

NORTHERN MovEMENrs.-The N. York

NORTHERN MoyEMENTs.-The N. York
Herald closes some comments OH the late
letter Of Gen. Cass as follows. 1t thinks
the General is getting behind the age:
"In short, the political men of the free
States, in order to accomplish partial
triumphs in their several localities. are
stimulating. exciting, and rcusing up the
anti-slavery feeling among all ranks and
all classes in this fepnblic-a feeling and
movement, which will ultimately crush,
destroy, and annihilate the Southern
States, throwing them into the same con-
dition as that which now desolates the
British West Indes, or crimsons the
beautiful region of Hayti. The public
mind in this part of the country is losing
its practical character, and becoming
more and more tanatical every day on
the subject of slavery and the social in
stitutions of the South. Unprincipled,
ambitious, reckless, mercenary and grasp
ing men, in order to accomplish their
local purposes, are driving onward in this
career, and all those moderate cOnnsels
and practical compromises, and wise for
bearances, which marked the history and
character of the great men of the revolu-
ton, and the statesmen who Immediately
succeeded them, are now being given to
the winds, and new code OF political
fanaticism is about to be issued, that
will end in nothing but, as we have said
before, the desolation and destruction of
the South. The name and last writings
of Thomas Jefferson are pressed into this
service, and everything reveals a new
step in advance of the question"

WONDERFUL EscAPE.-During the Sc

WONDERFUL EscAPE.-During the Sc.
we're thunderstorm on Sunday afternoon,
the wife of Major Henry Wood, who re-
sides about half mile from Macon, made
a most remarkable and providential es-
cape. She was standing in the garden
near the house, having on her person at
the time gold watch, with a gold
guard chain, which passed round her
neck. The electric fluid struck the chain,
melting it entirely. From the chain it
passed through the watch, partially des-
troying it. Thence it escaped down her
clothing. doing no further damage until
it reached the shoes, which were literally
torn to pieces. Mrs. Wood was, of course,
knocked senseless at the time, but, under
the usual remedies, soon after partially
recovered, and is doing well, She was
severely scorched around the neck, ilnme-
diately where the chain rested, and was
also injured in one of her feet, but in 9TH
er respects escaped unhurt. Wemen.ion
particulars in this case, as it is unques-
tionably more remarkable than any we
have ever seen on record
