The news fthis massacre was brought to
Albany at about six O'Clock last evening, by
q colored man who had accompanied Mr..
| Pierce from Albany. Little was known un-
| ill to-day of the fate of the iugitives whom
| he had outslripped. Last night the town
| was filed with the widest and most con-
| fiicting rumors, none of which appear to
have been exaggerated in the light Of subse-
quent trustworthy reports. A large body
Of colored men visited the headquarters Of
Major Howard, of the army, who is here as
Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau,
and begged to be allowed to go to the rescue
of their friends at Camilla, and it was with
the greatest difficulty that they were dis
suaded from doing so. 1t is reported that
Maior Howard despatched special messen-
ger to Atlanta this morning to communicate
with the military authorities there. He dis
; patched Surgeon Raushenbnry, of the Freed
: mems Bureau, To Mitchell county, this morn
ing, to attend to the wounded. Wounded
men have been arriving in Albany hourly,
since last night; they bring heartrending
accounts of the barbarities pracliced upon
their dead comrades by their murderers. 1t
is reported that the Sheriff of Mitchell coun-
ty Joined in the murderous work, assisted
, by the entire posse that accompanied him,
when he accosted Mr. Pierce, Ia the morn

nothing TO deserve the confidence of the
city as well as the travelling public. Its
boats are superior, its fare equable and
Just, and its business conducted on
strictly commercial principles. Inter

expulsion Of its Wharfboat from the

Would not the policy be suicidal?
We feel interested in this matter be-

TENNESSEE.

The Nashville Banner OF the 23d
SAYS Intelligence reached the city YES
terday evening Of a terrible affair which
\ occurred three miles from ColleOks, ia
MRury county, last Saturday night. Lit
Teton Lincoln, a citizen of Marshall
county, was on q visit to his b~rother-in-
law, named Osborne. A few hours after
the formers arrival, and when the fam
lily was about retiring to bed, six men
came to the door and called for Lincoln.
Although surprised at the untimely visit,
the unfortunate man did not suspect that
violence was intended. AS soon as he
showed himself he was seized and carried
of, the captors giving no intjmatiOn
whatever BE- TO what they intended to do
with him. 1t was afterwards ~aseeTtained
that he was placed N a horse and taken
to the neighborhood of 0 cave, two miles
from Mr.. OsbOrne's house, aud about five
yards from the road, where be was killed
by a pistol shot through the left eve, the
ball ranging downward and coming out
at the back Of his head. Some persons
living in the vicinity heard the
report of the pistol, but paid no attention
to iG, IS they were ignorant of the fact
that 50 bloody a deed WAS then being per-
petrated. The body was thrown into a
cave near the road, where 1t was found
last Tuesday by some negroes. An in
quest was held by the Coroner yesterday
snda verdict rendered to the effect that
deceased had met his death st The hands
Of parties unknown to the jury. The hat
and coat of Lincoln were found several
yards from the spot where be was muir
dered. On his person were some letters
from a lady, intimsting that she had de-
cided to accept q proposal Of marriage
which he had recently offered. Most of
the circumstance attending the tragic
deed appear to be shrouded ia impene-
trable mystery. 1t Is generally supposed
that the perpetrators were personal enc.
mics Of Lincoln, who had followed him
from Marshall county for the purpose of
taking his life. He was 8 widower and
a mar Of some means.
AT their recent meeting in Clarks-
willie. the stockholders OF tbs Memphis,
Clarskville and Louisville road unani-
mously resolved to gointO bankruptcy.
The President, Col. @. A. Henry, was
instructed to file a petition for that pun
pose.
Chancellor Barry, among other
reasons for contesting Laucke's election
in the 9TH district, has the following /:
Petitioner further states, that ii seems
to have been the settled policy of the
conductors OF this election to shut up the
Conservative precincts and open and
hold the elections about the towns where
they had organized Radical League.
That this election is q fraud upon the
rights Of the people as well as this
petitioner. And in consequence Of the
wrong inflicted upon an honest and
patriotic people, petitioner has been IL

THE wHARFnoAT QUEsTIov

1t is thought the investigation relative
to this imbrOgliO viii be brought to aelose
tomorrow. We have not had the for
tune to learn the merits or dement's Of
the case, as the inquiry has progressed
nor can we draw such differences as to
form a conclusion ss to how the report OF
the committee Will tend, or what effect
1t will probably have on the Board.
In acting upon this matter, we hope
~prejudices that may spring from and
originate in private feeling, may be dis
earded. Such impsrtiality is due from
the Board to the city, whose interests
should be paramount. 1t may be that
the expulsion of the Memphis and ST
Louis WharfboRt from the Landing.
may cause the withdrawal Of that Line,
which would soon prove it to be q ca
lamity. 1t may be argued that other
Lines would be instituted, but where is
the capital, where the boats, where the
business tact and experience? To IA it il
IS clear asdaylight that the existing Line
should have the privilege hsretofore
enjoyed, ard be protected ia that nrivi-
Iege. Nonew- fedged Line can exnect n
perform the same service, with the same
regularity, or with similar dispatch and
more libeEality. AS well might the
young bird attempt the dight of its ma
ternal guardian, before its pinions are in
ured to sustain its weight and eleave the
opposing element.
