An Unmitigated villain.

The murderer, George Stovall, now under
arrest, and awaiting trial for the killing of a
young girl, Mary Durand, in New Orleans, q
week or two ago, is undoubtedly one of the
mott terrible and INSCRIPTIONS men in the
country. Some years since, he commenced
figuring in Mississippi as Baptist minister.
Among his congregation was widow Of
some means, who had two young sons, and
daughter about fifteen years old-just bud
ding into womanhood. Stovall paid the wild
ow much attention, and finally married her !;
shortly after which he seduced the daugh-
ter. One of the sons, who resided with the
family, was unable to bear the disgrace of
seeing his sister-a mere child-enciente by
her (and his) own stepfather so he commit
ted snicide by blowing his brains out in a
corn field near the house.
The mother and daughter then left Miss
issippi, and went to Texas, where the other
son lived. Stovall Immediately followed
Thorn, as the widow still had little money
remaining; but the people of the region had
heard of hin, and would have lynched him, if
they could have got hold of him. Some
kind-hearted man lent him horse and sad
die, that he might escape by night, he prom
ised to send them back from the next town,
where he could find means to convey him to
the States. Instead of doing so, he took the
animal with him to New Orleans, where he
sold it, and pocketed the money.
His next exploit was to commit bigamy, by
marrying Mrs. Myers, and because she re-
fused to submit to his loathsome excuses at
any and all times, he shot at her with gun,
and often swOre he would kill her. She OBJ
tanned a divorce from him on the strength of
his brutality, and left him. This was but a
short time before his murder of the girl, Ma
ny Durand, for which he is now imprisoned
for trial. Without doubt, this will be the
last black mark upon his catalogue of crimes.
Lax as justice has become, we cannot imag-
inc that such monster can go unwhipped
