HORRIBLE MURDER.AI.ast night, two SOL
| diers (Germans) in artillery uniform, made
their appearance In UniOntOwn, opposite the
Navy Yard, and from their inquiries as to
how they could get across the branch, il was
| judged that they Were des6rtsPs. From Union
| town they went up the branch near the site OF
| the old middle bridge, where a young man
| named James Sanderson, discharged soldier
| from the 10th N. Y. artillery, resides with his
| mother and by him they were IN vited into the
house, dor the purpose il is stated OF arrestinR
them rs deserters, and they took off their coat:
as it to stay all night Sanderson went to the
| door, and as he was looking out, one OF them
| walked up behind him and cut him across the
throas' nearly s seyering his head from the body
petratorS OF the outrage Immediately decamped
leaving their coats behind, and have not YET
| been apprehended, although strenuous efforts
! were Immediately made TO that end. Sander.
| son, we hear, is young man OF about IS years
Of age, and bore good character among his
| neighbors. ,t#. 5,.
Another Accoan.-Aboutt ten O'Clock last night
| two soldiers entered the house occupied by
| James Sanders on, discharged soldier, and
| his sister, on old Bridge street, near the river
| in Unioniown, and cut his throat. When San.
| ter had retired to bed. Hearing her brother
| knock at the door, she got mp and opened the
| door, but seeing two soldiers with him
bask roo he soldiers we1 eS
/ she heard them scufling. She slipped out
the back door and went to the Station. house
tor help. When she returned, the murder was
| accomplished; the villains had cut Sanderson' s
throat under the LETT ear. and escaped, leav wing
| two coats cnd caps in the house. The cause
! of the murder can hardly be accounted for. II
