DISTRESSING OcCURRENoE, "A sad affair
occurred between two students of Emory College
at Oxford, Georgia, on Sunday, the 9th ult. Sew
eral OF the students standing together il
Bishop Andrews yard, when one of them, young
man by the name of Middlebrooks, commenced
teasing another by the name Of Jones. After some
words had passed between them, young Middle.
brooks picked up stick and approached Jones fol
the purpose Of striking him. Jones told him if he
came any nearer he would kill him. Middlebrooks
disregarded the threat, kept approaching, and
finally seized him by the collar. Jones fulfilled his
threat, drew pistol and killed him dead upon the
spot. Neither of the young men were over eighteen
years ofage. Both are very respectfully connected.
Mr.Middlebrooks' friends reside in Hancock county,
Jones in Columbia. Soon after the fatal deed,
Jones gave himself up, and is now in custody.
The affair is truly most melancholy one, and of
character, which never before occurred in that
peaceful community.

ALABAMA RAILROAD CONVENTIONAL conven.
ton Of delegates from all parts of the State of Ala.
bama, interested in the railroad enterprises now in
progress in that State, is to be held in the city of
Mobile on the 29h of this month. This movement
was suggested al the meeting of the stockholders
of the Alabama and Tennessee Railroad, held in
Mobile in March last, and is contemplated with
the most lively hope that it will strengthen the
seaport and cotton market, and of course confer
upon the interior of the State all of the material
benefits accruing from that consummaton.
The people of Alabama are showing the right
kind of spirit in their improvement measures, and
there need be no doubt that the Convention on the
29th inst. will be very largely attended.
A Gila Exploring Company, from Montgomery,
Alabama, has been in Mobile, on its way to this
city, where it will proceed to Shreveport, and by
way of Ell Paso to the Gila, which is to be the
scene of their operations. 1t is composed of thir-
ty-five men, from Montgomery county and neigh
borhood, and led by Major A. ]. Dave, gentle
| tleman who made himselfknown in the first Flori-
da campaign in 1886, and is ready to lead any ex-
ploring company, no matter what may be the dan
gers be fore it. 1t was strongly suspected that the
word "Gila" had been substituted (by mistake OF
course) for CUBA" in designating the designation
OF the explorers, the strange motto their banner
Secession, Southern Rights, Gila," strengthen
ing the impression that they were marching after
something else than copper; but those cognizant
OF Its intentions, say that it is bona 3e expedi-
ton to explore and mine the country bordering on
the Gila river.

MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES. - A tele.
graphic dispatch, from Washington under date of
9th ult. says
"A formal complaint has been made by the
Mexican Government in consequence of the
repeated Indian outrages on their frontier By the
treaty with Mexico the United States agreed to
protect the frontier between this country and Mex
leo from Indian aggressons. Congress, it will be
remembered, at the last session failed to make the
appropriation asked by the War Department for
this duty, and it consequently has not been per-
formed Mexico now refuses to ratify the Tehuan-
epec treaty unless the provisions of the peace
treaty are carried out. Mr.. Webster probably
fastened his arrival here in consequence of this
difficulty. The President may, if he deem the
matter of sufficient importance, order the troops to
be paid out OF the secret service fund.- l suppose
