A mos, horrible and shocking occurrence
took place near Brysnlown, on Thursday
night last, the circumstances of which
would seem to lead to suspicion that foul
murder has been committed. We would
caution the public, however, not to be too
has.y in forming judgment, as the case is
now before our Grand Jury and no doub,
mos, searching investigation will be made
We state briefly what we have heard. On
the evening Of Thursday last, soon after
SHUTDOWN James N. Johnson, Francis A.
Osburn and George II. Smith, all living in
the same eighhorh"od, left Bryan.own for
their homes and were soon afterwards join
ed by John and G. w. Smith, who were CO.
ing part Of the same road. Having reached
The place where they were to turn off and
separate from the those they had overtaken,
J. and G. w. Smith, pursued their way
homeward, leaving the other party with a
bottle enjoying its contents. AT this place
James N. Johnson was found on the sue
ceeding morning (Friday) in mos, deplo-
rable condition, by Mr.. Pickrel and his
son, who were going to cut wood. He was
burnt almost to a crisp from the pit of his
stomach down 10 his knees, and strange to
say, was still alive and able TO speak. Very
soon Mr.. L. S. Robey was informed Of the
condition of this unfortunate man, end he
Immediately ran to his assistance. Johnson
was found abou. forty feet from The place
where large fire had been burning-in the
cinders were discovered the buttons from
his coat He was taken home and surviv-
ed but few minutes. In reply TO ques-
ton asked him by Mr.. Robey, when this
gentlemen went to him, he said, 81 have been
robbed and burned by them men," Who
were the men he alluded to, will be for
the Grand Jury to decide. The verdict OF
the Jury Of Iuques. held upon his body,
points to Francis A. Osburn and George Ii
Smith as the persons. These men have been
arrested and are now in our county Jail. The
circumstances related 10 US as having led 10

not now detail.
], will be we'll to state that the unforlu-
nate man, who has lost his life under such
horrid circumstances, and the two to W HON
Suspicion points lis finger, AS his murderers
were all in the habit Of drinking spirituous
liquors and getting drunk. We have heart
it said Of the deceased, that he was never
known to 60 where he could get liquor
without coming away drunk. !, may be
possible, after all, tina, liquor has been his
murderer. We hope, for the credit of oul
county, tina. it may be proven that no mar
in our mids, has been guilty Of SO foul 6
crime.

Railroad TEatters.

The work on the Evansville end Illinois
Railroad is progressing very rapidly, and
present prospects would indicate that the road
will be completed to Vincennes much sooner
than the friends of this enterprise had antici-
pated. We are informed that the construc-
ton of the bridge across White river has
been let to our enterprising citizen James
Sutphen, Esq who has just finished heavy
job Of tressle work ut'princeton, over which
the cars are now safely running every day
Mr.. S. says he can construct a substantial
bridge over White river in less than four
months, Of which we make no doubt, know
ing that Mr.. S. performs all he undertakes in
the most approved manner, and in double
quick time. If the above, and only heavy
jobs on the line, that have hitherto been con-
sidered the only impediments to the early
completion of the road, can be finished SO
soon, we can see no other reason for not
having railway cOnnexion with Vincennes
early next year.

Clayi-it is a dissertation of his glorious
memory to utter his revered name in the same
breath with the antl-republican, native-amer-
lean, narrow and llliberal Scott's.- Times.
And how long has it been since Clay's SIRE
vered name" was connected by the Demo
cratic press with every thing anti-republcan,
narrow, illiberal and vilainous? What boy
in his teens does not recollect the hideous de-
famation and abuse which but a few years ago
pursued Dir. Clay with untiring hatred, nor
stopped till disease had fastened its fatal fin
gers on him, and withdrawn him from the po-
litical arena! Now-"it is a dissertation of
his glorious memory" to utter his name in the
same breath with that of so wicked a man as
Gen Scott. Oh, bdss hyPocricy of party that
can stoop t. this! These men are now pur-
suing or commencing the same disgusting
warfare against Gen. Scott-yet when the
grave closes over his head, and alton puts
on the dgdpery of mourning for the great de-
parted, then will these same detestable party
hypocrtes mingle with honester citizens in
honoring the GLORIOUS memory of the hero
and patriot-then will they confess by their
acts, that the great man whose name they
sought to make Synonymous with every thing
mean and unworthy, and whose most gloriors
services they tried to tarnish, was the noblest
Roman o! them all. Shame on such political
da>tarGs. Their dirty work will be in vain.
They will have glorious memory LEFT them
that all their slan4crs on the present Wing
candidate could not defeat him.

tempting to wilfully deceive the Germans
and other foreigners in Evansville. Publish
the facts, my dear fellow-what Gen. Scott
has written and spoken, instead ofendeavoring
to make him responsible for what irresponsi-
bic persons have written or spoken, and
which it is more than probable he never saw.
Here is what Gen. Scott says, in his letter ac-
cepting the nomination of the Wing Con-
vention. In speaking Of what he will re-
commend, &C., he says he viii
Recommend or approve of single alte-
ration in our naturalization laws, suggested by
my military experience, viz: giving to all for
eigners the right OF citizenship who shall
faithfully serve in time of war one year on
board of our public ships, or in our land
forces, regular or volunteer, on their receiv-
ing an honorable discharge from the service"
We have now set this subject right, and
hope our neighbor will set himself right be-
fore those he has attempted to deceive, by
publishing what we have requested.
