Horrible Murder - Two Dead
Bodies Pound.

On Monday last. developments were
made. rendering the fac. quite certain. Of q
most outrageous murder having been com.
mitted in this county. within few days
past. The circumstances as far as we have
been able to get information are these: on
Monday last, some persons residing in the
vicinity of Mr.. Joseph Bryant, who lives
on Lees Creek, about twenty two miles
from this city. while about one and half
miles from Mr.. Bryants house. near high
bluff, upon the edge Of which runs the road
were attracted by the gathering of buzzards
and made an examination, for the purpose
OF ascertaining if there was any dead stock
at the foot of the bluff; upon search they
found the bodies Of two men, who had
both been shot, and must have been
thrown over the bluff. They discovered in
the road straw and some nails, and came to
the conclusion that the bodies had been
hauled in a wagon to the place and thrown
over the bluff. Upon tracing back towards
this city, it has been asccrtainel that a par
ty had encamped near where the Evansville
road turns off from the Fayetteville road,
about fifteen miles this side of where the
bodies were found. Guns were also heard
by the neighbors in this Vicinity. and on
further enquiry it was ascertained. that the
party who had encamped there, consisted OF
three men aud one woman, and that after
wards there was but one man and woman
with the wagon. The supposition is that
the man and woman killed the two men,
whose bodies were found, and hauled them
a distance of fifteen miles, and threw them
over the bluff
The two men who were killed were prob
ably father and son, as one of them was
apparently an aged, and the other young
man, and werej jthe owners of the wagon
and team and the other man and The wo-
man were stragglers whom they had prob
ably allowed to travel with them All were,
it is supposed, from Texas, and were going
north. Undoubtedly an inquest was held
upon the bodies of the two dead men but
we have not been able to learn any further
details than we have given above. That a
most horrible murder has been committed
is evident. Parties have gone in pursuit
of the supposed perpetrators, who Were
travelling with an ox-team, and will, we
trust. apprehend them, Notwithstanding
they were a week in advance.

pnIIriCAL ITEMS.

nw The Providence r. 1. Daily POST
of tn. 4th inst, treats the Connecticut boil
ters to the following:
"The Connecticut boilers insisted upon
remaining in the party. They appalled,
very ridiculously, too-'from the National
Convention, whose action, was binding up
on all Democrats, to their own State con-
vention. They harangued the people coax
ed. whined, tormented, threatened. In the
State convention they were again beaten.
But no sooner was the fact proclaimed than
they coolly assured the victors that they
should not be bound by the verdict So
they hoist the bolter's flag, and renew their
war upon the Democracy. DO they still
profess to be Democrats , We suppose SO.
when impudence is ones capital, and is
so cheap, what's the use of going into
bankruptcy "
The New York Herald calls VIM. H..
Seward and VIM. l.. Yancey, " the Siam
ese twins of sectionalism.'' The denomi-
nation is very just.
The Petersburg 1rue Democrat pays
Hon. John S. Millson the following tribute !:
"Millson's name is a tower of strength
| in tide water Virginia he is perhaps the
acutest intellect in the Virginia delegation,
i and his State has further honors in store for
him."
The Augusta. (Ga.) Comsttutiona1ist
says:
I" at the recent convention of the Doug
las and Johnson Democracy at Raleigh, N.
| c., when the county of Moore was called,
one of the delegates stated that he hailed
from Moore, and his county had eigh. dele
gates in this convention, and they repre-
sented the Democracy of his county /; and
further that there was but one Breckenridge
man in Moore county. The Democratic
vote is $50, and 749 would certainly vote
for Douglas and Johnson
"Three cheers for the Moore county De-
mocracy of North Carolina. for there they
have SENSE enough to recognize and declare
in favor of the regular Democratic party %
The Cahawba (Ala) Shareholder,
heretofore Breckinridge disunion sheet,
took down that ticket, and in able editori-
al run up the glorious old Democratic ticket

Says the Atlanta Contederacy
.'If Mr.. Stephens canvasses Georgia, as
we learn he intends doing Thoroughly, the
State is safe for Douglas by six or eight
thousand majority. We say now to our
friends at distance, be of good cheer,

the homie of the travelling Secretary of the
Treasury, and of Robert Lunen Toombs. is
all o. X. for Douglas and Johnson.
Eg In Missouri, returns from all but
twenty-five counties counties for Governor,
stand as follows
CT. jackson, douglas dem) 5G732
Orr (Bell, Amer) 5G5S3
H. Jackson, (Breckinridge) $500
Five Douglas Democrats are elected to
Congress, one Bell man, and one for Lin
coin. The Breckenridge disunionists have
not chosen a member. The Douglas can
didate, Henderson, was beaten 249 by Roll
Inns. Maj. Phelps is elected by 500 to
1,0o0 majority. The Yanceyites sought
to beat him and elect an American, by run
ming third candidate and failed.
When the whole vote of the State shall
be ascertained, it will probably stand as
follows
Douglas $4,000
| Bell and Lincoln $1,000
The majority in Missouri against the
Breckenridge disunionists is $4,000 Tha,

From the Memphis Appeal.
The Nail Hit on the Head

In his recent speech at Augusta, Mr.
stephens passed in review the three princi-
pal objections urged against the nomination
OF MIR. Douglas. The first was the irrecu.
larlty OF the nomination second, the plat
form third, the man himself.
After disposing of the first two, he comes
to the third in this wise:
come now to the man. Here, doubt
not, is the chief one of the objections We
should have no secession, no complaint
about the want of two-third vote, no OBJ
lection to the platform, had any other man
been the decided choice of the convention,
but MIR. Douglas. The secession was not
from principles not from the manner OF
voting but from the man who was far
ahead OF any of his competitors for the
nomination.
Let us, then examine the objections to
him. Tnat he is man of great ability all
admit. His integrity and purity of charac-
ter mono assail. That he was the favorite
OF the convention no one can deny. Wheth-
er he had really majority or not as a frs,
choice, no one will pretend but that he had
three times as many, as first choice as anv
other man before the convention. Then
what are the objections to him, which are
sought to justify the rupture of the partv
because of the nomination
The sum and substance of their objections
as understand them, amounts to this. and
this only, that he refuses to declare it to he
the duty of Congress to do what his assail.
ants say they win not do themselves. Tbey
say 1T Is the duty Of Congress to protect sla.
very in the Territories, and vet saw they
will never discharge this duty by voting fo,
any such law. He refuses to make anv sncb
such declaration of duty never to be perfor.
med. This is about the whole difference be.
tween him and his assailants, for all oracti.
cal purposes, SO far as the question Of pro-
lection is concerned. about which wa hea,
SO much. He says he does not believe il Il
DC his duty.to do q certain thing, and there
lore. will not it. They say they believe
1T to be their duty to do the same thing. bnt
without therefore or wherefore. saw thew
will not do it,
Mr. stephens has here undoubtedly hit tha
nail ON the head. His assailants declare Il
to be the duty Of Congress to protect slave.
~ in the Territories. and yet. when NJ
brown. of Mississippi, brought forward a
proposition Of this kind in the Senate. + "a.
ceived only three votes-his own. that =,
johnson, of Arkansas, and that Of MALLORY
OF Florida. Such is the inconsistcncv an,
hypocrisy of the seccders.
