HORRIBLE MURDER IN KENTUcKY.-The
Louisville journal of the ID inst, gives the
following account of a murder committed
near that place on the lst inst. The mur-
derers have not yet been found:
1t appears that three brothers, named Will
liam, Jesse and Russell Hill, who reside five
miles out on the Nashville Railroad, were
attacked at their residences this morning
about o'clock, by a gang of rowdies, head
ed by jim Walker and jeff. Rodgers. VIM
LII was asleep in bed with his wife when
the fatal wound was inflicted, and so close
was the gun placed to the bed, that the pow
der burnt the hand of his wife. Jesse Hill
who resided in the same house, was also shot
in the neck and back, causing immediate
death. The party then went to the house of
Russell Hill, some two miles and a half from
the house where the other two were murder
ed, and while their hands were still wet with
the blood Of their other victims, and there,
without cause or provocation, shot Russell
dead in his own house.

I We make the following extract from an
able and patriotic speech recently delivered
in the Legislature of Georgia by Mr. Hines
Holt, State Senator from the county Of
| Muscogoe:
do not see how secession will end acts Of
aggression-how separate State action will
cure the evils of which we complain At
whose door do you lay the complaint? At
the door of your Government? Ac the door
of your Constitution? At the door of your
Union Who has made the charge that the
General Government has failed to protect
your rights under the Constitution and in
the Union whenever called upon to do so
Who, | ask Senators, has ever made the
charge, in all the discussions on this question,
that the Government of the United States, in
its governmental capacity, has brought any
oppression upon you, committed any aggres-
sion on your rights? | stand ready TO an
swer the charge should it be made. True,
Massachusetts, has violated the compact
true, Connecticut has violated it f; true, other
Legislatures of other States have passed mea
sures obnoxious to the South and it is equal
ly true that the Congress of the United
States, in answer to the demands of the
South, has passed the fugitive slave law, and
it is equally true that when application has
been made to the President of the United
States for the enforcement of the rights of
the South, under this law, he has poured forth
the Federal Treasury and made use of the
Federal bayonet. 1t is true, sir, that when
your rights have been questioned its Supreme
Court has maintained them 1t is true, sir
that for the eighty years of the existence of
this Government it has never trampled upon
YOUR soVereipDtV and never refused Won re-
dress for any wrong

TRucKEE RAILROAD Project The Auburn
Herald says the citizens of Placer county
who subscribed to Judah's scheme for build
ing railroad through the Truckee Pass. have
lost faith in it and do not intend paving one
cent upon their subscriptions.
1t appears by the above that the people of
Placer are not as visionary as Mr. judah had
supposed them TO be. The above citizens
have shown their good sense in repudiating
the wild scheme. They probably have no
money to throw away in such a fruitless un-
dertaking' The people of the State are be-.
ginning to find out that there are convenient

PROBABLE DOWNFALL OF MIRAMoN.-A cor
respondent Of the Alta, writing from Coima
Mexico, under date of January Sd, says:
An express has arrived from the city OF
Mexico, stating that on the 22d December
Miramon and MARQUEE met the Liberal army
in battle near the village of Arroyo Zarco
(about sixty miles from the Capital) The
two Generals had from 1000 to 5000 mer
and 80 guns; the Liberals under Ortega and
Zaragoza, had about 10000 men, and after a
very bloody tight, the Conservatives were
thoroughly routed. Generels Miramon and
Marquee did not venture to return to Mexi-
co, but fled to Tlascaa and two days after
the victors made their triumphal entry in the
city, thus finishing the revolution without
any compromise. The clergy, having thus
lost their last stronghold, were made to bleed
to heavier tune than their late sacrifices.
The Constitutional Government is now
fairly established all over the country, and
the first decrecs issued in Mexico were for
the suspension of all the converts, and seizure
of all the church property-valued at about
hundred millions of dollars.

HEALDsBuRG LAND Troubles. The Sonoma
County Democrat says:
We had hoped when the Sheriff placed Mr.
Bailhache in possession of his lands, last
week, that we would hear of no more trouble
in that neighborhood but such, it seems, is
not the case. On last Friday night the Off
GERS in possession of the premises were noti-
fed by party of thirty or forty squatters
they must leave, and as they refused to do
so, all but one Of them was driven off. As
Joseph Boggs, a boy of II years, was retreat
ing from the house, he was fired upon and
shot in the thigh. AT first the wound was
thought to be very dangerous, but he is now
recovering We trust. for the good of all
concerned, that reason will prevail with
these men, and that they will submit their
grievances to the Courts of law, and not com.
init such rash acts as will inevitably get them
into deeper trouble.

METALS IN CALAvERAs COUNTY. Y.-SOme time
during the last week in December, Hughes
and his little son, who were prospecting
among the many quartz ledges in the vicinity
of the copper mines at the lower end of Salt
Spring Valley, struck upon new, astonsh-
ingly rich vein of copper. Specimens of the
ore, which may be seen at this office, show
an appearance of nearly pure masses of cop
per without any foreign substance intermix-
ed. 1t is the opinion of Hughes that the
vein from which they were taken is one of
the richest in the world and it is, beside, so
situated that the ore can be obtained with
but little expense to the workers He rep
resents the district of country in which these
copper mines are located as abounding in q
