Brutal Murder.

We have Just learned from a gentle
man acquainted with all the facts, the
particulars of horrible murder, per
petrated by a negro man, in this county,
on the person of his own wife. The
unnatural deed was committed more
than three weeks ago, near PiDson sta
ton, but WAS not discovered until last
Monday.
The negro, with his wife and chill
dren, had been living in that neighbor-
hood for some time, and was known by
the citizens not to live tremendously
with his wife. He accused her of mis-
treating the children, and determined
on separation. He started of, taking
the children with him. The mother
followed, declaring that she had rather
die than be separated from her chill
dren He led the little ones into a
deep hollow, knowing that the devoted
mother would follow, and then turned
upon her and killed her.
Two weeks and more passed before
suspicion was aroused, when search
was made, and the bones of the muir
dered woman were discovered, all dis
connected and scattered over con-
siderable space. The skull exhibited
marks of violence; the right side
showed large hole, and the left side
was cracked several inches, while the
lower Jaw was badly fractured
The negro had been arrested before
this discovery was made, and denied
having committed the deed; and, even
after being told that the bones of his
murdered wife had been found, he de-
clared his innocence, and defied any
one TO prove his guilt This murderous
wretch was so Ignorant that he be-
lieved il required ocular evidence to fix
his guilt.-cireumstantial proof was a
new revelation to him He tinslly &C
knowledged committing the horrible
crime, and is now lodged in the Tren-
ton jail to await his trial Vest Tenn.

Destructive Hail Storm in Marshall
county-Hail Falls as Large as
Goose Eggs-Great Damage to
Growing CrOps-StOck Killed.
There was a terrible hail storm in
Marshall county, Miss, Sunday week.
The Reporter of the 9th says;
The storm commenced 8 few miles
northwest of Holly Springs, and passed
in a southwestern direction, destroying
hundreds of acres Of cotton, corn, wheat
and oats in its devastating course.
We know of numbers Of large farms
in the immediate vicinity and within
few miles of Holly Springs, that have
been literally stripped of all growing
vegetation. The damage done to
many of our farmers is irrepsrable, as
the season is too far advanced 10 re-
plant cotton with any degree of GER
taintY of making q crop; and many
of them had expended all the means
they could raise to make crop the
present year. The hail stones were
larger than we ever saw fall before,
many of them being as large as goose
egg, snd measuring six or seven inches
in circumference. The ground in
many places was covered to the depth
of from one to two feet, and at ten
o'clock on Monday morning last, wagon
loads of the ice could have been gath
cred within two or three miles of Holly
Springs. Our city was on the eastern
edge of the storm, and received but
little damage from the hail; but many
houses few miles west of here were
damaged by large hail stones passing
through the roofs and breaking sill the
glass in the windows. Stock were
killed in several places, and, take it all
in all, we sincerely hope that our
people will never witness another such
storm.
The farms of Messrs Willis, Ward Nc
Claiche, Fennell, Alexander, n Smith,
Mckinney, Jefferies, Abston, Mrs. Bur-
ton, and hundreds of others, are liter
ally ruined by this Obstructive hail
storm Where hundreds of bales of
cotton would have been raised, if this
unfortunate occurrence had not taken
place; but very few will now be reali-
zed. nE

The Origin and Meaning ofthe Word


To the Editor of the Chicago Times:
On seeing the correspondence of Mr.
Stephens to Mr.. Smith, of Cincinnati,
on the origin of the term Fenian, JUS
tice to the word compels me to state
that Mr. Stephens himself has erred in
explaining it, though he feels aston
ished that any of the literary Irish OF
Cincinnati could not satisfy DIR. Smith
on the subject" 1t is true there was q
chieftain in Ireland who commanded
the Irish militia, or ancient Fenians,
named Fionn MacComhal, (or Fiune
McCool, but this militia could not have
taken the name Fenian from him, as
they got that title from his father
Comhal commanded previous to Fionn'E
coming to the years of manhood, and
probably before he was born. At that
time they were called "Fianna Erion, ="
which was since translated into Fenian
by the first translator of "0isins' Po-
ems" Or. Stephens would have rs be-
heve that "Feonin" was the word, but
he has committed greater errors, which
are at present rather hard to cure.
The term Fenian, which if properly
spelled should be Finian, originates
from Fiann, which means, in Irish,
sportsmen or huntsmen. Fiach is
hunting, and hence the term Fiann,
which is the Irish for Fenian. They
got this title as they were compelled to
hunt and fish for a living during six
months of the year, and it was a title
that thew nrided in nm tn their last
conflict, which was in Garristown, near
Dublin They got the privilege of fish
ing in all the rivers of Ireland and of
hunting throughout the length and
breadth of the land, for their services
in guarding Ireland from the forei On
foe; and l will add that, while they
existed, the Roman, the Saxon, or the
Dane never won foothold in Erin.
Should any one require a longer ex.
planation, l will with pleasure give my
services. Mes do sheyibkiseach ,riosaIl

Observation-Disclosures Darby's dis
inieciant is having great sale, and is
regarded by all who use it as the best
article known for this purpose. Itpu-
rifles the air of the sick room, removes
effiuvis, deodorizes 8 foul atmosphere,
cures wounds and sores, is a pain-killer,
and is an excellent tooth wash. This
is a great variety of uses to put fluid
to, but this disinfectsnt, being compos-
ed of two powerful detergent and dis
injecting agents-chlorine and permau-
GAME acid, actually does all that is claim
ed for it. The disinfectsnt is as harmless
as common salt. 1t operates by de-
stroying the missma or poison, and not
by substituting one smell for another.
IN 7. Post 9h.
Why don't some of our druggists
bring on supply Of this article for
Nashville. A vial of it ought to be on
every wasbstand in the city. As a
tooth.wash it is perfectly harmless, and
far ahead of the Sozodont, whilst it has
no equal for killing bad smells.

Tennessee.

It has been announced in newspaper
dispatches from Washington that the
programme Of the Central Directory"
contemplates the admission of the
Senators and Representatives from
Tennessee to their seats in Congress.
In their report to Congress on the 9Th
inst, they did not avow such purpose.
Speaking of this State they said
The State OF Tennessee occupies a posi-
ton distinct from all the ether Instruction
airy States, and has been the subject Of
separate report which your committee have
not thought II expedient TO disturb. Wheth-
er Congress shall see ft 10 make that State
the subject Of separate action, or to include
it in the same category with all others SO
far IS concerns the impOsition Of prelimi-
nary conditions, it is not within the prov
ince of this committee to either determine
or advise.
What the separate report" referred
to proposes we have no means of know
ing, as it has not yet been made public.
We presume it is from the sub-com-
mittee which had the affairs of Tonnes
see under consideration and win not
be presented for the present
Although the report of the Central
Directory" does not give any indica-
ton of an intention to admit our mem
bers, that fact should not be discour-
aging. The Constitutional Amend
ment adopted by the House, and
amended by the Senate's leaving out
that part without which Mr. Stevens
said he would not give the snap of
his finger for it, was the offspring of
the Directory. 1t was modified at the
instance of caucus of Senators, and
this same caucus having voted it expe-
dent to make an exception of the
State of Tennessee, its behests may
override the Directory in this matter
also. We hope such may be the case.
1t win be only rendering long-deferred
justice TO Tennessee.
But, what is there in the case Of Ten.

ception She was organized under the

Itwould be more just and surely sound

States, who can qualify. This would

So open a violation (says the Boston
Post) of the neutrality laws of the
United States as involved in the inva
sion of Canada and the Provinces by
any force, recruited from whatever
class of our citizens, must expect to be
met with just such Proclamation from
the Executive as that which puts the
heel of the Government upon the ex
listing movement We may favor the
sentiments of those who seek to achieve
independence for their native country,
but allegiance TO our own country and
respect for our own laws demand that
we shall oppose all measures which are
taken in defiance of them and in dis
regard of our great national interests.
The arrest Of the leaders of the active
Fenian faction is a damper on the spir-
as of the more ardent ones, who sud
denly find their body to be without a
head. Deprived of their Generals,
their arms and stores intercepted, their
road to the Canadas watched by the
Federal authorities, and a feeling Of
decentralization working its way rapidly
among the masses, little would seem to
remain to them TO feed hope upon.
Stephens has said, since his arrival
in this country, that the battle for Ire
land would be fought this year on Irish
soil The Sweeney Roberts influence
were not disposed to await develop
ments at such distance, but thought
the most effective way of striking
blow for ireland was through Canada
Yet the worth of that conclusion must
be searched for in the state of Canadian
sentiment The Canadians may be so
bitterly estranged from the home gov
eminent as to be quite ready to engage
in general revolt when the opportunity
seems 20 promise success; and still they
may be entirely ayerse from co-operat-
ing with the Fenisn leaders in a revolt
that would help the latter but promise
no substantial result to themselves. OF
course there is a very large element in
one portion of Canada which it is be
lieyed sympathizes with the present
movement and perhaps would do so
with any other movement which looked
to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of British terri
tory. But it is a question if a plain and
distinct understanding was had with
that element at the outset; and if not
the risk was too great not to prove fatal
unless instantly rewarded with success.

by Simson, in his work, History of
