Mr.. EDITOR
have nothing to say further to Mr.. Hall
and but this remark for Mr. Walker. Mr.. w,
H. Walker must have knoaon did not mean
him, as he had already told me that he kneaC
nothing Of the dog at all, and never would have
thought Of it again, but for the circumstance Of
that dog being painted! Yesterday, however,
his recollection was very suddenly revived
he knows all a6ont the dog. 1t was VIM. H.
Walker, Junior, who was in the Office at the
time to whom alluded. He has told me as
well as others that was there before Hall ar
rived and brought in the dog.

Murder of Young Wife and Suicide of tt
Husband.

Murder OF q Young Wife and Suicide Of the
Husband.
We copy from the Memphis Wing, of the
9th inst, the following narrative:
We heard on yesterday, the particulars Of
one of the most melancholy tragedies that we
have known for many years, which occurred
in Marshall county, Mississippi, about twelve
miles from Holly Springs, on Wednesday last.
Mr. r. r. Cox, a planter in good circumstan-
ces, killed his own wife while she was lying
in her bed, and then shot himself through the
head killing himselfinstantly.
This occurred sometime during the night,
but was not known until the next morning,
when a negro man went to the room to make
Ia fire and found the door fastened. Not being
able to rouse any one on the inside, the negro
called for the oyerseer, who came and forced
the door open, when he found both Mr.. and
Mrs. Cox dead; she was lying on the bed with
two bullets through her head, and he was ly-
ing ON the hearth, shot through the region of
the heart, with his hand still grasping the
deadly revolver They had been married but
a short time, and = is supposed that Mr.. Cox
was insane at the time as he has frequently
suffered from alterations Of the mind.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Cox were known by
many of our citizens, he as the possessor and
occupant some two or three years since, of the
dwelling in the southern part of the city
known as the "Swiss Cottage" while the
young and beautiful bride was, but few
months since, gay and lively school girl, at
tending Mrs. Armstrong; school in this city,
and will be remembered by many as the pref
| ty Miss Sallie Wilson. Leaving school, she
married Mr.. G. sometime last fall, and now
she bias been cut off from all earthly hopes and
happiness by him who had solemnly vowed to
love and protect her. Mr.. G. was worthy
young man, and there can be no doubt but that
he was laboring under insanity at the time of
this awful calamity; in fact many circumstan-
ces that transpired day or two previous, go
to show that he was not in his right mind.
Much sympathy is felt in this community
for the families and friends of both the deceas-
ed persons-amilies of the first standing in
North Mississippi. May God be their help in
this their great affection.

who has just returned from the pursuit of the
murderers of MIR. Gordon, states that the two
men suspected of the crime separated at Vim

and the other the Evansville road. The watch

they had disposed of at indianapolis, where
they had been identified and recovered by

an equally bad defeat of the Democracy in the

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union reviews the financial transac-
tions of John C. Fremont with the Govern
menti in connection with early California affairs
to prove that they were rotten to the core with
corruption, and concludes as follows:
"From these extraordinary financial per-
formances, we can we'll understand how those
men who are bankrupt themselves, and who
have contributed to bankrupt their States, and
would bankrupt Uncle Sam if they could
were so enthusiastic in cheering for Fremont
'If elected, could he well deny his leading
supporters privileges at money making cor
responding with those formerly enjoyed by
himself? If they should follow the prece-
dents set by him, would not the speculations
prove splendid 1t is certainly natural that
such prospects should rejuvenate the dilapi-
dated and inspirit the decayed politician to
the greatest possible exertions. Fremont was
mainly nominated by this class. What will
those who sustain themselves by honest indus
try say to the Mariposa and cattle speoula
tions? Will they give either their APPROVAL"

We incline TO the belief that the local re-
porter Of the Intelligencer has been either
sold or duped in regard to the attempt to cut
down the Democratic pole in our city on Tues
day evening. We admit the fact that rivalry
IN business might have been one of the causes;
but to suppose that politics had nothing to do
with it, is perfectly preposterous Tuesday
night was not the first time the attempt was
made, similar one was made on the 81 of
July, before the jealousy in business between
the parties heretofore mentioned sprang up,
and Magee's house pelted with stones for
helping to protect the pole from destruction
Simms took no part whatever in that attempt.
He was not member of the Democratic As
sociation.&
Neither branch of our City Councils was in
session last night, owing to there not being a
quorum of the Council in attendance.
Owing to deficiency of water in the canal,
in the vicinity of Dam No. 4, there have been
but few arrivals this week.
