SHOCKING MURDER I'VE learn from a
morning contemporary, that on last FRI
day night Mr.. j. Dickey, an old and
esteemed citizen of Upton county, and
for the past six or eight months mer-
chant at Randolph, sixty miles above
this city, was foully and brutally muir
dered in his store house ct that place,
about the hour Of ten o'clock in the
evening The perpetrators of the foul
deed were Walters and two negroes, from
the Morgan plantation OH the Arkansas
shore opposite Randolph. Walters was
the overseer on the plantation. They
entered the store before Mr.. Dickey had
retired, and murdered him with Ratchet,
striking him severe'and fatal blow on
the head and then seyering the head
almost from his body. They then robbed
the store of all the money they could
find, several hundred dollars and some
goods, locked up the door and returned
to the Arkansas shore, where they were
arrested the next day. The negroes,
who were discharged soldiers, &C,
knowledged to the murder, but said they
were insiigated to the deed by Walters,
who promised to divide with them, and
that he struck the first blow They we're
placed in custody of an officer and
strong guard, and sent to Covlng-
ton, where it is to be hoped summary
justice will be melted out TO the villains.
1t was with difficulty the citizens we're
restrained from administering lynch law
upon them. Mr.. Dickey was a popular
and highly esteemed citizen, and his
brutal murder greatly outraged and
shocked the entire community. The law
must be executed and such deeds of out
rageous bloodshed punished.

STEALING AT FIREs---Probably in no
city on this continent is there so much
stealing done at fires as in tie city of
Memphis If a man moves his stock to
save it from destruction by the devouring
element, he has TO run the risk of losing
one-half by the devouring sharks that
are always ready at fire to pick up
anything they can carry, and strange to
say, there is scarcely ever an arrest made
by the police. The proceedings last night
on Front street viii verify what we have
said, some of the rascals even carrying
off several sacks of coffee We call Il .
attention of the Mayor-no, We don't;
his control Of the police will not last
long. enough to make any improvement;
so we suggest that something TO mend
this state of affairs be done by the Police
Commissioners Immediately on their as
sumption of Office.

The FENIAN BENEFIT. New Mem
phis Theatre was nearly filled last night
with the friends of ireland. Messrs.
McWade and Mccarthy sung their songs
well and were loudly applauded, after
which there were two addresses delivered
by able speakers, who recounted Ireland S
sufferings and wrongs, and said the pres
ent moment was the one to attain Irish
independence, as England was never in a
worse condition than at present, both as
regards men and money. At the conclu-
sion of the speeches call was made for
subscribers TO the Fenian bonds, but few
responses were made, most of those pres
ent believing the meeting was over, went
out without payingany attention to the
last call upon their purses.
