MURpER-TNe Con.ssanence Of a Toks,-T

MURDER-IAe Consequence of Joks!-The
Columbus (Ohio) Statesman describes the occur
renee there, on Sunday the Goth, of murder under
most unfortunate circumstances, as follows:
1t appears that some one got possession of one
OF the late Governor Bebb's blank acquisitions for
ingltlves, and filled it up for piece of sport and
directed to Thomas Spencer, well-known cattle
dealer residing in Adelphi, Ross county, and who
is frequently in this city. This enraged Spencer,
and some one to carry the joke, told him that it
was done by George Parcels, the bar keeper of the
franklin house. He Immediately went to where
Parcels was, and demanded of him if he had filled
up that paper Mr.. Parcels, in jocular way,
answered yes and was about passing out of a
door, when Spencer drew revolver and shot him
dead-the ball entering his left side under the arm.
He walked but few steps and fell dead without
speaking. Spencer, in an effort to escape, was
taken and put in Jail He only remarked that he
had the papers to show why he did it, Mr.. Spen-
Ger is respectfully connected, is or has been a man
oil considerable wealth--a large dealer in stock,
and not in the habit, friend of his says of carry
ing arms. The whole affair has shocked the
public and will teach, we hope, okers not to carry
their fun too far and those that are joked to not
take it so serious"

NASHVILLE. CHATTANOOGA AND CHARLESTON
RAILROAD From the annual report of V. K Ste
venson, Esq we learn that the present amount of
capital in this enterprise s 81, $50, 765 of which
one million two hundred thousand has been paid
in Nashville and Charleston have subscribed
S50O,O0O each, and the Georgia Railroad Com
pany S25OOOO. 1t is expected that seventy mile.
Of road will be finished during the present year.
The success of this great work will give to the
Southern States The carrying trade of the great
valley OF the West, heretofore monopolized by
Northern lines. The report estimates the cost OF
completing the entire line from Charleston to
Cairo, at the confluence of the Mississippi and
Ohio, at less than fifteen millions dollars against
forly.hve mlions-the least cost at which any of
the Northern cities can approach t-with the ad.
diional advantage in favor of our city, of 300
miles less distance from the desired point. [Charles-

RAILROAD SToCks.-As our city has for some
time past labored under the imputaton of indiffer
ence, If not entire opposition, to public improve
ment, we rejoice at the opportunity of testing the
truthiuness of these injurious reports, by the open
ing OF the New Orleans, Jackson and Northern
Railroad subscription books.
For two days past the committee have been
actively engaged in canvassing for subscriptions,
and have met with varied success Some from
whom much was expected have not however
responded so literally as others less favored.
Would it not be advisable for all to adopt the
the plan OF others: of taking the name. of those
refusing to subscribe, and report them to their col
leaguesY This would not only save the the time of
useless VISIT but unpleasant feelings consequent
upon refusal
We have been unable to ascertain the exact
amount subscribed, but are assured that it is
respectable.
Our respected fellow citizen, Mr.. James Robb,
in subscribing for twenty ve thousand dollars, has
not only evnced his wonted liberalty, but set an
example which we commend to others as worthy
of imitation.
