the blows; some OF the blows on the
main part of the head may have started
this fracture, and some other cause may
have continued it; the skull was rather
thicker than usual the length OF the

inches, and l should think weighed from
one hundred to one hundred and ten
mounds; she seemed to be an old woman,
inward of sixty; she came to her death
from injuries to the head by violence !
the straight wounds j have described

this poker (which was given the witness),

been made by the tongue Of 1t; the

Question by Mr. Sheppsrd-Do you

Mr.. Mann-We object, because th'

Mr. Sheppard withdrew his question
and the witness resumed: The wound OF
the head may have been produced by
such an instrument as this; the fact o
the hands being thrown up before the tact
may account for the character OF thu
wounds apon the head; the angular
wound on the skull may have been canset
by the outside corner of the angle OF thi
poker; / went up stairs in the house OF

The State Of East Tennessee.

The Nashville Banner recently inti-
mated willingness on the part OF the
Middle and Western Districts Of the State
to let East Tennessee set up for herself,
if go disposed. The Senior Editor re.
spends ss follows:
ave indorse this fully. East TenDes-
seeans will all be unit for the separation.
We will accept, too, the terms. We are
ready to 20 empty.handed. Middle and
West Tennessee may have their rail-
roads, public buildings, turnpikes, and
only their proportion of the State debt.
East Tennessee will assume hers ard ask
no more, leaving to the other sections all
we have named and the rebels, Ku Klux,
etc, thrown in. II You are really in
earnest in the proposition, show your
hand when the General Assembly re as.
sembles. W. G. BRowSLow.
"Senior Editor of the Whig."
With reference to the above the Knox
willie Press and Herald comments as fol.
lows:

stances, yet to intervene, we suppose we
might consider the bargain closed and
regard our separation as au fdif accom-

! We mean those brave fellows from Michi

sent so many "large constituencies .

philauthropists who denied themselvei
all the comforts and luxuriel
of home, and taking neither money il
their purses nor scrip in their wallets
wandered down into those barbarou'
regions to make laws fer benightec
people-whst, we again ask, is to become

Hepburn separated from the above named
parties, he going toward his home, they
toward the creek. After they had been
separated but q few moments Hep
burn heard the report of gun. That
was on Thursday. Goldsborough was
about the neighborhood, but made no

was it known that he was missing. His
body was found lying only short dis
tance from the place .where they sep
arated on Thursday before. he fell
forward on his face, the gig beside him,
and the gun last seen in Goldsborough'
hand lying broken at the beech, with one
barrel charged and the other discharged,
near by. The load passed in the back Of

blown of, and the right eye out. The
gun had evidently been broken over his
head, as the top of the skull was mashed

and he was finally arrested, and on
Wednesday lodged in Jail. Marsh is said
to have had about him $400, but in a
search after his body was discovered, but

Although the Queen cannot find time or
