HORRIBLE HoMrc1pE.-Mr. M. V. Wood,
q quiet and peaceful citizen, died at his
residence in this city last Sunday evening,
from the effects of g large number of blows
received from John Oswald, appointee Of
General Meade as Deputy Marshal of Rome.
1t seems that Mr.. Oswald put Mr.. Wood
in the callaboose about O'Clock Sunday
morning-for what offence we are not ap-
priced, though it is said that he had been
drinking. The other inmates of the Gala
boose discovered, at day light, that he was
in On insensible condition. About 8 or
o'clock citizen happening to hear of his
condition called q physician and had Mr..
Wood carried to his home, where, without
speaking, he died about 8 o'clock P. NJ.
A post norton examination showed that he
had received about dozen severe blows,
one of which badly fractured his skull.
As the matter is now undergoing legal
Investigation, we refrain from further par
ticulars.-Rome Ca Courier.

To THE CONSERVATIVE VOTERS OF THE
FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.-Lynch-
b,trg, July Ill am informed, since my
return from New York as delegate to the
Democratic National Convention, that it
has been publicly expressed in certain
quarters that Conservative nominations for
Congress are inexpedicnt in districts where
the colored vote preponderates, and that in
such districts it would be wisest and best for
the white people to induce negro candidates
to take the field, and support their election.
accepted the nomination unanimously
rendered me by tho recent convention OF
the Fifth District with full knowledge Of
the fact that it was an empty honor, and
that, if elected, | conld not possibly get my
seat in the present Congress without per-
Jury and dishonor; and it is well known to
my friends and the members OF the Conven-
ton that the only ambition had in view in
accepting the compliment was simply to
contribute my humble mite to the defeat OF
the odious Constitution with which 1t IL
now sought to manacle the limbs of our peo-
ple and to transform our State into another
San Domingo.
Ash do not, however, desire or intend to
be placed in any position, in such moment
of peril to the country as the present,
where it can be said that l have in any
way DISTRACTED the views of others, | deem
it due to myself and the public to Withdrew
my name from the contest, as now do, and
leave the field open to those who may favor
any other wiser mode of conducting the
canvass, or to any personal or political
enemy of mine.
1t is only proper for me, in conclusion, te
tender to the members of the late Conven-
ton my profoundest thanks for the honor
done me, and to assure them that THU
change of position on my part will detrac'
nothing from the earnest labors which II
will be my pleasure to perform On the
hustings and through the press in aiding
the defeat of the proposed Constitution.
am, fellow-citizens, very respectfully
your obedient servant, K. Il. GLASS.
