berry and murder
SwEErHATER, TFgS., July %, lS65.--On
the evening Of the l9th inst plot d
murder and rob Col John K Miller, OF
the 18th Tenn Cavalry, and Others,
officers, soldiers and citizens, was dis-
covered, and three of the plotters ar
rested, viz: VIM. Honeycut, once q
Lieutenat in the 18th Tennessee Cav
airy, and afterwards connected with
the Sd n @. Mounted Infantry; private
Samuel Peninor, 18th tennessee Cavu
airy, and private Lee Taylor, 8th Ten
nessee Cavalry. They are now in close
confinement awaiting trial HOneycUt
has been heavily ironed.
The prisoners subsequently escaped.
GuERmLL1 OUrRAGEs.-We are inform
ed that on the night OF the 9th ult.
Mr. James Mullennix, good and true
Union man, living near Fall Branch in
this county, had his house burnt down
with all il contained This is the work
Of Rebel guerrillas and robbers, who
stih infest this country in small bands.
The two sons Of htr Mullennix, who
were lately mustered out of the lst
Tennessee Cavalry, had Just gotten
home, and it was supposed it wss the
intention to destroy them in the
fianes-as the family barely escaped
with their lives Such brutal and in
human acts should be punished to the
full extent of the law, and every effort
should be made by both the civil and
military authorities to bring them cut
from their hiding places, and mete out
TO them their Just dues with all possi-
ble speed. twill not do 70 have sham
trials, and set such dastardly scoun-
drels at liberty. We might justas well
cease to make effcrt for the restoration
of law and order unless we have exam
pies made of such diabolical wretches.
It is but few weeks since Mr.. N. b.
McCraw, Of this county, had his house
burned down over his head-leaYing
himself and family in a destitute and
suffering condition. Let an example
or two be made and the country will
soon be cleared of this fltngia.
TnE CRoPA-The fine s:lowers are
most delightful, and cause the growing
corn to flourish in magnificent ezuber
apce; every prospect is given for q
spleudid crop. This cereal must form
the principal for our bread in the nexi
/ twelve months, as the wheat and rye
crops were almost an entire failure
The oat crop is good, what there IS Of
livery littls being cultivated.
VIRGINIA AND TENN RAILRoAD.-We
learn that regular trains are running K
Bristol on this road. This is evidence
that the Virginians are ANXIOUS and
willing to push matters to q proper
status, and We only wish Oatr railroad
| friends had the same energy. There il
now only short span Of about twenty
miles-the space between Carter Depot
and Bristol-to be repaired-inciudinl
the building Of the two bridges over the
| Watonga and Holston Rivers.
From the Murirsesboro Monitor, 9Th.
We have made numerous enquiries
and are glad TO chronicle the fact, tha'
the crops in Rutherford county, cottor
and corn constituting said crops, are
remarkably promising
We are indebted to Major Beebe, The
/ gentlemanly Provost Marshal at thil
place, for the following memorandum
Private Higgins, Co F, 29th Michi
gan Volunteers, was found dead on !h'
morning Of the 3lst of July, near I
house occupied by negroes in the vi
] cinitv Of the Depot The right side o
his face was badly mutilsted, indicating
that his murderer had used some blum
instrument, and stamped his face witt
a heavy boot or shoe He was seen a
the same place in state of intoxica
ton the same afternoon.
At an election for Magistrate, held il
this city Thursday the Sd inst, r. s
