The STEAMER THOMAS KELso. For
several days past Norfolkers have been
upon the tip-toe of expectation await
ing the arrival of the new steamer
Thomas Kelso. Yesterday morning
she made her appearance with the Ma
p0leon of the bay, G. w. Russell, her
captain, standing on the hurricane deck.
The mastery manner in which she was
brought alongside the wharf showed
the assembled multitude that some men
can handle steamboat with the facility
of pike staff. The boat is a gem of
naval architectural perfect success
works satisfactorily in every particular.
Her appointments for the accommoda-
ton and comfort of the travelling COM
munity are all they promised to be and
fill the bill of her description, hereto
fore published, to the very letter. The
Thomas Kelso is the finest steamboat,
beyond doubt, that has ever come into
this port. Colonel M. N. Falls, the
worthy President of the Baltimore
Steam Packet Company, came down
from Baltimore i'm the Kelso. The glad
smile of satisfaction and the approving
commentator of numerous friends.
fully convinced the Colonel that the
KelsO is big thing in water. The
Kelso is one thousand four hundred and
thirty tons measurement. Her carrying
capacity is enormous; but we predict il
will all come into requisition to fill the
requirementso of her friends and patrons.

ing ior the purpose Of preparing some
definite plan of organization, made a
verbal report of the action and recon-
mendations of the committee. In the
report 1t is urged, as necessity, that
Virginia should be supplied with
labor. The Colonel wanted to hear
the sound of the hammer and saw. or
the pick in the mines, with the smoke
OF manufactures. He said that labor
must come from Europe, and we must
and should induce it from those shores
ourselves, and not trust to Spectators
Col. Blow deprecated the idea of orr
slumbering While others profited by our
necessities. He stated that we had the
lands, the position, and every natural
advantage toencOurage and induce emil
1gration, and suggested that we should
present our proposition to the State Lee
glslature, organize direct action by get
ting a charter for an emigrant aid and
colonization society. He said that the
movement was popular, from the very
iact tIat there was no conflict of inter-
ests, but united desire to all. We want
eda charter, authorizing the organiza.
Ton and ownership of 100000 acres of
iand. He said, also, we should have
banking privileges, for the purpose of
oeaIihg III exchange, and express
privileges Tor transportation and
nhally, that the state be requested

A Terrible Tragedy-An Onicer
Murdered by "A Negro.

We are called upon this morning to narrate
the particulars Of one Of the most heart rend-
ing tragedies that has ever thrilled the heart
of the people ofths section OF the country.
DR.. M. @. Mullinix Surgeon OF l49th Indi-
ana Volunteers, arrived at home last evening
bringing with him the lifeless body of Captain
David NJ. Dobson, of this village, who was
brutally murdered BY a negro on Saturday
last. The particulars given MS by Surgeon
NJ are as follows: 3 UH ..
Captain Dobson was Provost Marshal Of
lSomerville, Alabama, stationed there for the
purpose OF administering the oath 10 the
late rebels, and transactng such other busi-
ness as came within the province. He wac
very popular, both among his own men aud
the citizens. On Saturday last Captain Dob.
son was standing on the street in front Of a
hotel, converting with man named Rathor,
late rebel General, when negro servant of
Mr.. Stewart with whom the Captain was
boarding. approached him from behind and
struck him on the head with an axe, the
blade splitting his skull aud sinking to the
base OF the brain. Captain Dobson fell aud
expired Immediately The negre started to
run, but was caught by man who had been
standing near and was only saved from being
hung ON the spot by the hope OF getting some
clue to bis motive for committing the deed.
These are the particulars we have Of the
affair. Dr. M. is Of the opinion that the negro
committed the murder on his own responsi-
blity, and that the citizens of Somervll, are
blameless in the affair. The negroes are be-
coming worse every day, and if permitted to
enjoy their much talked of freedom" moth
ing short of exterminatng them will insure
the safety of the whites. Such is the opinion
Of both soldiers and citizens OF Alabama.
We have no heart to comment on this ter
ribe affair It's but the natural reslt of
forcing freedom" upon a race Of incapable
Of appreciAting it, and who without the re.
strainlng hand of power, sink back at once
into their normal condition of barbarian. The
murder has created feeling of intense in.
| dignation where it occurred, and also here
at home, where Captain Dobson was univer.
,ally loved and respected. His stricken rela-
lives. who knew not OF the affair until the
body Of the dead brother and nephew were
brought home have the heartfelt sympathy of
the entire oompnnity --0soen County Ind J
