NovELTIEs.-The change which has com
over the condition of Alexandria within ,h
pastfew months, is in nothing more visibl,
than in the changed appearance of Kins
street. Instead of the ordinary thorough
fare OF thrifty town, it now assumes tn.
appearance OF the avenue of populous cit,
and, for variety of costume, and for indi
vlduai peculiarities, may be classed with
those Eastern marts on whose thorougbfares
many nations mingle in common traffic. The
various regiments exhibit, in their uniforms
the peculiar military costumes Of half the
nations OF the world, with now and then
strange garments, which suggest the habits
OF Capuchin monks, so we'll known on every
thoroughfare in Southern Europe.

Man Murdered.

We learn from Mr.. VIM. H. Billings, of Moore
Ranch, on the Santa Fee road, Marion county,
that gentleman named Robert Bailey was muir
dered near that place, on the 4th of this month,
by man named Wise. Mr.. B. Informs that
these two men had some difficulty last fall while
on a buffalo hunt, But Mr.. Bailey regarded it as
all settled between them. But murder still lurked
in the heart of Wise. and on the 4th inst. he went
to the wheat field of the deceased (where he and
his wife at work), armed with q double
barreled shotgun and long knife. Wise shot
Mr.. Bailey twice with buck shot-once in the
mouth, and again after he fell, in the side,
ing instant death. There was great excitement
among the people, and it wa' with great difficulty
that Wise escaped being lynched by his neigh
bOrs. He was brought to Cottonwood Falls, for
trial before Justice A. P. Candy, which took
place last Monday afternoon at three o'clock.
We have not heard the result of the trial. or
further particulars of the murder. 1t was q cold
blooded affair.
