A Brutal Murder.

We copy the following from the The Jackson port Herald of last Saturday, the 23d ult: "We have to record the death of a man who was most foully murdered on last Saturday evening by two men by the name of Barstow and StanselI. The murdered mans name was Hayhurst and is rep resented to have been industrious and hard working man, but addicted to drinking. As near as can learn, it occurred thus: The three men, who live in Independence, were on their way from this place, all being very much intoxicated. They, in company with Mr. Elliott, crossed the river in skiff, having left their wagon on the other side. Barstow and Stanseu got into the wagon; Hayhurst getting up behind Mr. FL hott, was riding horseback. The men in the wagon commenced abusing Hayhurst, applying to him all manner of vulgar and insulting epi- thets. Hayhurst told Elliott that if he would see him fair fight, he would whip Stansell He then got down from the horse and engaged in q fight with Stansell, when Barstow seized club and struck Hayhurst a blow with such force on the head as to render him senseless, and while in that condition repeated it two or three times, when they left him. Soon after, gentleman came along, and seeing Hayhurst laying in the road, got down from the horse, supposing him to be some man drunk, and tried to wake him, when Ae discovered that life was extinct The two men were arrested and had preliminary examination and were committed to jail, the case not being bailable"

WE take the following from The Memphis Enquirer, and advise those who may be so lucky, in these hard times, as to have anything do with twenty-dolar notes, to examine them well:
 Twenty-dollars bills altered from ones, on the Traders Bank of Nashville are in circu- lation in that city, and will shortly find their way here. We advise our buisiness friends to scrutinize carefully the denomination of the bills on that bank before receiving them, as the alteration Is so ingeniously executed as to be extremely difficult of detection.
