CROPS IN THE PxDEg CouSrsr.-A
letter from friend in Richmond county
(says the Fayetteville Observer) gives the
following cheering view Of the crops:
"The wheat crop iu this and the ad
joining counties is unusually promising !;
aud the oat crop, which bad been regsr.
-ded as almost failure from being badly
winter killed, has greatly improved under
late proPitious seasons and now promises
something like au average yield. Corn
is late, but stands are good. and there is
no good reason to fear any falling off in
this important crop from last year"

HORRIBLE MURDER-SrIrr RYTRIBU
TIoS We learn that six or seven men
supposed to be deserters-w went to the
house Of Andrew johnson, Esq abou,
four miles south OF HendersouviIIe, in the
Flat Rock settlement, last FRIDAY, 10Th
inst, and called for dinner. II was given
them. After eating, they deliberately
shot Mr.. Johnson down, in the presence
OF bis family, inflicting wounds from which
he died in n, short time. Mr.. JohnSon's
son, noble boy Of 10, seiziug double
barrel gun, fred upon the murderers,
wounding three Of them severely, when
they all fled. A posse was soon on tho
trail, tracking them by their blood and
"p to Saturday two had been caught and
shot. They we're still in pursuit Of the
others, determined never TO abandon Il
until the last one Of the gang is slain.
The object Of the murderers was no
doubt robbery, but the unexpected ap.
pearance OF young johnson upon the
scene, as the svengsr Of his father, dis.
concerted all taeir plaDs.
Mr.. Johnson was low country gentle
man, widely known as . wealthy. kind
hearted and liberal man. His tragic
death is deeply dspiOrsd.-AshevilLe
