RumOred Murder Of Rev. William

HNNN#h HlAtA0urny
A painful rumor has reached US Of the.
murder Of Rev. WIN. MilButn, Presiding
Elder Of the AbingdVa DlsatieS Holstcu
Conference. 1t is reported that he was muir.
dered in Washington county, Virginia, while
preaching, by some 6end o. the disloyal
"Klau,gC We trust this report Is sinply a
rumor, and nothing more Should It prove
true, however, the sequel Is likely to prove
disastrous in many respects. Rev. Mr.. NIL
burn is known, loved and respectfully nearly
every man, woman aud child throughou! ap-
per East Tennessee. fe was the faithful and
efficient Chaplain Of the Eighth Tenn. y. s.
Cavalry and that his death will be avenged
by those who fought traitors by his side for
four years, is not Improbable, Lot us hope
that tho report viii prove incorrect.
P. S,-since writing the above, we learn
that the murdered man was the Hon. Mr.
wilboutn, a delegate to the Virginia Consti-
%tutiOnal Convention, whose life has been
threatened time and again by rebel outlaws,
on aecount Of ais devotion to the Union and
Republican principles. Thus is added an
other martyr to- the cause Of freedom. Mark
the prediction-a day Of terrible retributiOn
awaits these bloody-handsd traitors.
