ATRoCIoUs MuRDER.-We learn that
an atrocious murder was committed in
Humphreys county on Saturday last. The
circumstances as We gather them are as
follows: On that morning a gentleman,
an entire stranger, left JOhnsonVille on
foot, proceeding down the river. At the
mouth of Trace creek he employed some
fishermen 10 set him across the creek. He
was afterwards found perhaps mile from
the creek dead. In his body we're three
bullet holes, and his skull was smashed by
heavy blows. His pockets were turned in
side ont, doubtless in search OF plumber,
hut watch and pistol remained upon his
person. Suspicion, we are informed, rested
on the fishermen, but as no proof could be
had against them they were released. No
thing was found upon the body of the mnr-
dered man by which he could be identified

that he sunk the banks a good deal
