Murder in Mississippi.

The mdrder of professor Clark S. Brown,
at Pontotoc. Mss, Of which we lately made
mention, bears remarkable Likeness to the
casa of Matt Ward and Professor Butler
AS the circumstances are narrotad BY let
ter from the place, it appears that Brown
was native Of New Hampshire, graduate
of Dartmouth College, and principle Of the
"Pontotoc Male Academy" A few days
previous to the murder, he punished, for
some msdemeanor, a lad named Carey
Wray, about 12years of.age. John. an ell
der brother Of the lad, who attended the
same school; was subsequently expelled fsr
having at that time twice threatened Pro-
lessor Brown If he whipped his brother
again. Three days after the occurrence,
another brother named Keith Wray, aged
eighteen years, who vas studying medicine
in an office in the city, armed himself with
a revolver and bowie knife, went to the
academy and wanted Brown called Out, but,
as he was too mnch excited at the time,
the assistant refused the request. Wray
left saying that he would see him on his
way home, and at the close Of the session
he met his victim in the public park. He
act osted him rudely, told him he had i'm
posed upon his brother. and when he un.
deItook to reason the matter. called him
by an insulting epithet, and aimed blow
al Browns face. The latter seeing Wray 5
weapons as the blow was aimed, raised a
little riding whip, and prepared to defend
himself. Immediately thereupon, Wray
drew his knife and inflicted seven fatal
wounds, which caused Browns instant
death. The murderer was arrested and
committed to prison, but his friends made
vigorous efforts to forestelI justice by
promptly securing all the legal council
the place affords. Professor Brown leaves
a 20 Jug wife, to whom he had only been
maj ried few months.

nsas Climate, sc.

A spondent. writing from Kansas
Territory, to the New York Times, after
describing storm hich passed over por-
tons Of Kansas, says:
Like wild beasts, retiring into their
caves at the approach of sunlight, the
"h,gh contesting powers drew off their :e-
gions about sunrise, and gave us bright,
glorious day tempered by a breeze which
makes complete Paradise of any shady
spot which one may chance TO find. After
all, the climate is admirable. The winds
are high, but they keep US healthy. |
firmly believe the natural health of Kan
sas superior to that of any other por-
ton of the United States. Pulmonary and
bronchial diseases are always alleviated
| often eured-among emigrants, rheuma-
tlsm seems scarcely known. With the
advent of dwewllings and groves, the Sc
velity ofthe winds will not be felt; and the
modification Of our houses to suit the cir
cumstrnces, will obviate all Inconvenience
and danger.
The same writer continues, referring 10
the movement Of the abolitiouists to colon
ize Missouri with eastern free soilers:
Emigration is light at present; but the
Fall will show large Increase. 1t is said
| that plans are On foot 10 colonize Missouri
with Eastern Free-Soilers, and make an
effort to abolish Slavery there. This would
indeed be masters stroke Of pollcy-Dw eH
erecuted-and fit reprisaI upon the Atchi.
sonians for tEeir lawless invasion Of Kansas.
With the war thus carried into Africa, the
slave holders "Emigrant Aid Company"
would have home market for its self styl-
ed patriotism, which would absorb the
supply. 1t would be most efectual means
af procuring peace for Kansas under able
leadership, such coup de main would be
Napoleonc in its results, as il is in concep-
ton.
That will be sorry undertaking for
those who venture in it.
