sons 10 come in the direction of the Blackwater
river. All the trees for several miles around
Suffolk have been felled, and Notifications are

however, only precaution 10 prevent attack
until they are ready TO move. which many be-
heye they intend 10 do, and that in this direc-
ton. We are gratified TO hear that our forces

IL viii be remembered that several wears ago
an individual of the above name murdered a
school-ieacher in the city Of Louisville, Ken
tucky,-a Mr.. Butler-for having punished has
younger brother i'm school. He was tried for
the crime. and by the influence Of wealthy
connections, bribery, ana packed Jury. and
the sophistries of the now aged senator Crit
tenden. he was acquitted. But the storm OF
public opinion ragged SO strongly against him.
that he left Louisville and Went 10 Arkans A.
For several years me has been residing near
Old Town on his plantation. and IL is said
has been in poor health, and lived an humble
life. evidently weighed down with remorse for
hls crime winning the sympathy and good
Will Of his neighbors, and pursuing his occu-
patton of planter. He appears TO have taken
no part m the rebellion, and remained quietly
al has home on the occupation OF Old Town by
our army.
During the past week il Is said thar ne had
sold his cotton crop standing, and that negroes
Were picking the crop, guarded by Union SOL
diers. Gen. G. T.. HOyey, having moved his
division nearer 10 Helena, had left Old Town
comparatively unprotected. The guerillas
learning the state of the case, concluded 70 make
an attack on the soldiers on Matt. Wards farm,
and yesterday morning made their appearance,
when Mr.. Ward came out of his house. and.
being dressed in blue cloth, IL is supposed was
mistaken for Union soldier. The guerillss
Hired on him, wounding him through the body
up 10 helena for treatment, and died that eve
ming at the residence Of Colonel Moore, a citizen
OF Helena. IL is q remarkable instance of tbs,
reributions OF Providence that this man should
die the same death which he inflicted upon
the victim OF his revenge so many years ago.
