A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY-Two MEN MURpErED.-A
terrible tragedy occurred on the 18th instant on
board the steamer b. l.. Hodge, while on her wav
to New Orleans, and near Shreveport Louisiana
a man named B. l.. Heath being the chief actor
His reasons for committing the atrOcious deed are
Varlously inscribed to insanity, the i'll and morbid
disposition of detormed man who believes himself
stunned by his tellOw-men, and, lastly. to being
crossed in his love for a beautiful woman whom he
has haunted for wears and by whom he was per
emptorily denied and rebuked some two months
ago. While Mr.. Chas. NJ. Forb, of Robinson coun.
ty Tennessee, and Mr.. Il. j Lyle, of NashviIles
were playing cards in the cabin about midnight
Heath entered and seated himself by them, VINO
pad him no attention. In few minutes he arose
deliberately from his seat and drawing a large
bowie knife, seized Fnrb by the hair of the head.
and before the others of the party were aware of
his intentions, stabbed him to the heart producing
almost instant death. Lyle Immediately grasped
the murderer by the arm, but freeing himself hy
n desperate effort, the latter plunged the deadly
weapon into the formers neck, inlicting wound
from the effects of which he in few moments ex-
pired. Another gentleman, Mr.. F. G. Jernigan,
was also stabbed by the monster. but not fatally
when a bystander, sezing a large iron chair, dealt
Heath a blow on the head which felled him sense
less to the floor, and before he had recovered. he
was securely bound and taken to New Orleans
The murderer had upon his person at the time Of
his arrest several other knives and revolver. He
is deiormed creature, small in stature broken
backed, and about twenty eight years of age. He
said he was a native of W estOn Lewis county Vir-
gnia, and that he had been teaching school at a
place called Knoxville in Cherokee county, Texas.
The reason given by him for committing the deed
was that they were the parties who were seeking
his life, although they had never met before.
LATEST FROM MExIco.-The United States war
steamer POcahnntas, Captain S. F. Hazard has
arrived from the port of Vera Cruz and brings
intelligence as late as the 10th instant. Among
the passengers are General Domingo de GocOuria
and E. La Plumb, Esq, bearer of dispatches
from the Government of Mexico to the Mexican
Minister resident at Washington. The news
by the Pocahontas is of the most important ma
ture. On the first of the present month, Zuluaga
issued a decree depOsing General Miramon from
the Presidency of the Republic. He has assumed
the office of the President, much to the alarm Of
many citizens 1t is supposed that he owes his
cess in the movement, to the Clergy. Although
General Miramon had sustained many reverses he
had still left portion of his army. On the Sth
instant Miramon imposed a forced loan of $3.50, 900
on the city of Mexico, in order to raise funds to
carry out his purposes. The tax is placed on for
eign well Mexican houses. General Urega
with over 5000 Liberals, occupied Guanajuata on
the 5th instant, and was making preparations for
moving towards the city of Mexico. After Urega's
departure, Miramon occupied the place with view
of concentrating his troops near Queretaro, where
a decisive battle expected soon to be fought.
If Miramon is defeated in this battle, it is gene
rally expected he will be, the Capital might be i'm
occupied by the Liberals. Gen. Urega
is moving with energy and has larger forces than
MiramOn, as well as better artillery. The Liberals
seem certain of securing speedy termination of
the struggle. NJ. Galviac, the French Minister
left the Capital and is staying at Jalapa. 1t
is reported that RObes is preparing to return to
the city of Mexico. The Juarez government is ex-
pected to be removed to the town of Jalapa during
the coming month of June.-N. o. Deia.
The PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-Hon. Samuel r. Curtis
of Iowa, writes to a friend in ST. Louis that the
Pacific Railroad bill, recently introduced in the
House of Representatives, names exact point for
the terminus of the road for reasons set forth as
follows: Of course, no exact point should be named,
since we would thereby certainly give offence to
some, and perhaps, not only embarrass the passage
of the bill, but embarrass the stockholders in the
procuring of suitable grounds at the place so
designated. Capitalists must have a little room to
come and go, and so we politicians must have room
to satisfy the just competition which contending
claim for special preference of pre-
ferred points. The bill is drawn as to make it
equally fair for all points, within range of several
hundred miles; and, it seems to me, Missouri and
Iowa should move heaven and earth to secure the
passage of it. Very truly, your ob't serv't,
SAMUEL Il. Curtis.
COMPLIMENT TO BRAVE GIRL.-The Cincinnati
Inquirer, of the oath instant, saws: A subscrip-
lion paper was started on Change yesterday for
the benefit of Miss Metker, the young lady teacher
in the Fourteenth District School, who was badly
injured by falling bricks while standing at the door
to prevent the children from rushing into the
street during the tornado on Monday afternoon.
The paper and funds are in the hands Il Mr.. Tor
renee, President of the Chamber Of Commerce.
