horse killed under him in the recent struggle
The fire in the suburbs lasted two days. and

the enemy's position. The rebels in their at.
tack lost fifty men.
The foreign Consuls have protested against

THE MURDER OF MAI. LAWRENCE AT RUSSELL
WILLIE, TENN.--A MARTYR TO UNION sENTI-
MENTs.
New YORK, June 18-A Bowling Green
(ky.) dispatch, dated the 18th, says: The assas-
slnation of Major Lawrence, at RussellvilIe,
yesterday, was the result of deliberation on
the part OF the rebels to kill or drive out every
Union man in their midst. He had been re-
peatedly threatened by the Ku- Klux Khan.
a week ago he received notice that he was
to be killed in less than ten days. He pail no
attention to the warning, and as he was going
out of town yesterday afternoon to serve
summons, the assassin stole upon him, and lit
orally butchered him in broad daylight.
Capt. McClery, of the army, who went down
to investigate the case, pronounced it a cool,
premeditated murder. Union citizens are arm
ing, and the utmost excitement prevails. A
detachment of the I'd regulars reached there
last night.
Major Lawrence was in the 18th Kentucky
Cavalry in the war. He is the fifth Union man
murdered near Russellvlle within the past
two months.

Tt E L NGsIoN MURDER CONFESSION OF DEA-
CON ANDREWS.
BosToN, June 1S.-Samuel NJ Andrews has
made long statement in which he confesses he
killed Lemuel Holmes in Kingston Mass
The confession was laid before the grand Jury
yesterday and has been made public by con-
sent of his counsel 1t is understood the
Grand Jury rejected his statement
Andrews says he asked me TO walk with him
down to the new Cemetery to see some new
lots. We passed out by the back end of my
lot by Mr.. Bradford's and Mr.. McLaughin's
lots, and by the path that leads to the stile in
to the cemetery. We looked at Mr.. Thomas
Princes and some other lots and then returned
to the stie and sat down on the steps few
minutes and he then told me that he was GO
ing to buy him i'll Boston two hats, a $40 silk
and an everyday hat and asked my advice as
to buying an everyday coat and then again
asked me what he should buy me in Boston.
told him to suit himself. He then asked me
to walk little way with him. l told him
was tired and thought we had better go home.
We then started.
He took me by the arm and drew me down
the road on which his body was found. He
stepped up to the bank on the left hand side OF
the road where his hat was found among the
trees and asked me to come in there, told him
| should not. He again asked me to come in
there. [ told HIM should not. He then came
out from among the trees looking like mad
man; caught hold Of me and threw me down,
and pulled my pants open and got on top of
me and treated me very roughly. l caught up
stone that was near my right hand and struck
him with it on the side of the head. He caught
me by the beard, then by the hair. 1 think he
fell once or twice.
felt that l must kill him to save myself,
but l cannot remember all the circumstances,
but that l afterwards threw two stones on his
head then ran over the stile to the cemetery
pond and washed the blood from my face and
hands. Several times he has attempted some
thing Of this sort before once while he was
living at his fathers house he came to my
house one stormy night and stayed all night,
where he undertook the same thing. 1 told of
this occurance about that time to l.. Wilson
Barnes, now of Attleboro. He Cornelius
Holiness has always been so sorry about these
transactions that had forgiven him.
The above embraces all that Andrews says
directly relating to the tragedy. Opinions are
various as TO how much credit should be given
to it, but his friends seem to feel somewhat re-
lieved and appear to gather little hope as
some circumstances tend to corroborate it in
