A diabolical and deliberate murder was
perpetrated on the morning Of Friday. on
board the steamer ct L. McGill" while
she was en- route % this city, and while
near the landing OF New Madrid, Missouri.
While the steamer was at Cairo, an old
man named A. q. Wilson, from Champaign
county, came on board He carried a
double-barrelled shot gun in his hand, but
nothing strange was observed in his APP
pearance. After the steamer left, some of
the passengers who were inclined 10 he
jolly sat down to have game at cards.
Wilson sat down 10 watch the game, and
appeared to take much interest in il.
During the game a young man named
Brown, who wore a gray coat was ad-
dressed by the party as "Reb." Wilson
heard him so addressed, and declaring that
he himself was 4 good Union man, he rose
from the table and denounced all on board
ne Rebels No one took any ohense at the
remark. and the old man went of TO bed
In the morning about six O'Clock, he was
heard praying with great earnestness,
and pleading forgiveness with his Maker
Tor what he was about 10 do. The Mr.
Brown above referred 20, and Mr.. Land
fond. Of Atlanta, Georgia, both Of whom
belonged TO the card party Of the previous
evening. who we're walking about the cabin,
went out on to the guards of the boat
which was then lying alongside of the
wharf boat at New Madrid While they
were standing there, Wilson crept stsalthily
out Of his state-room, gun in hand, and as
cended 10 the hurricane deck. When be
got directly over the place where Langtord
and Brown we're standing, he then leaned
forward, raised the gun to his shoulder and
fired. The contents lodged in Mr.. Lang
fard's breast, and he fell or the deck Of the
steamer and died instantly. Mr.. Brown
saw the muzEle Of the gun pointed at him,
and guickly stepping back he thus saved
his life The event created the greatest
CONSERVATION and excitement among the
passengers on bosrd. There was much
difficulty in disarming Wilson, who wanted
90 shoot everybody on the boat he was
in a completely frenhed state, and it was
only after he had been shot in the arm by
MIR Henry Brown. Wilson was then ar
rested and placed 10 the hands Of the sher-
~, who also took charge Of the body of Mr..

ST. LOUIS, Jan. From Fort Laramie
We learn that party of one hundred and
fifty Cheyenne Indians surrounded the tel.
egraph office at Sweetwater bridge, on the
morning of the lst, killed and scalped the
operator, and burned the station. Three
soldiers were with him, one Of whom was
found dead the others had not been heard
from.
The Cheyennes have been at peace here
tofore, and their taking the war path with
Sioux will make much work for the small
number Of troops
An expedition under command Of Major
Van Wort started from Laramie a few
days ago to punish the Sioux who COM
mitted the massacre near Fort Kearney.
Gen. Palmer, commanding, is wide awake
TO the importance Of the situation.

making and unmaking States for the PEG,

the government itself
18th. On the pretense Of laying the cor

statesman, repeating those harangues at
every point on his route, the only object Of
which was TO bring the Congress Of the
