HoRR1D MURDER IN SHELBY CouNTY.-The following
is taken from the San Augustine Beacon Of the l7th.
most arocious act of diabolcal malice and yet it
is inserted in the Beacon headed simply Homicide
Great Heaven if this wilfu premeditated killing is
only homicide in the opinion of the conductors of
the Beacon shudder at their ideas Of what consti
tutes murder: E.
A man by the name of Mays killed James Smith in
Shelby county, on the 25th June. It seems the two
were cropping together on the same farm, and Mays
becoming offended with Smith for some cause, net
known to us, went out to the back of the field on
Thursday evening, and there secretly concealed a
double barreled gun. The next morning he decoyed
Smith down in the field, under pretense of looking at
the crop and on drawing him the concealed gun,
jumped at seized it, and exclaimed "now, God damn
you, 1 have got you where want you!" Smith see
ing the gun started to run, when Mays shot him in the
back, telling him instantly. Smith being in a dying
condition asked Mays to give him drink of water,
when Mays ran up and broke his skull with the gun.
These are the facts as detailed to us. E
Since the death Of Smith, another man living on
the place, by the name Of Peoples, went out into the
neighborhood to employ hands, saying he would be
back in a few hours His horse came back the same
day he left, but be has not been heard FROM It is
supposed that Mays waylaid and killed him also. Mays
is still at large. Peoples the only white who
witnessed the killing of Smith, which fact strengthens
the suspicion chat he may be killed.

COL W. D. Mann, proprietor of the Mobile Register,
anda candidate for Representative for Congress in the
first district Of Alabama in speech at Bellville,
He said:
" At the commencement of the late war, his consci-
entious convictions mpelled him to draw his sword
in defence of the Union, and he continued in the
vice until February 1854, when he found the policy
adopted by the Federal Government that of max
ing war upon defenceless non-combatauts and upon
private property. Then he resigned his commission,
and be thanked God that it before the Of
the Shenandoah Valley campaign and Sherman's
march to the sea.
He reviewed the professions of the Radical party
during the Nne-tenths of the Union soldiers un-
derstood that when the ceased the seeding States
would at once be restored to their former positions
the Union. Such had been Sherman's declaration to
Southern men and women while on his march. And
it would have been but for the set Of corrupt dema
gogues in power who foresaw that their selfish pur-
poses could be accomplished if the friends of
the Constitution in Congress were strengthened, as
they would have been, by the entire Southern delega
ton. Then came the series of measures which have
produced and kept in existence the condition Of af
fairs which now prevail in the Southern States and
probably in its worst form in Alabama where set of
legislators expressly repudated by the people, but
fixed upon US by deliberate violation of law,
exhausting our substance by enormous taxation, for
no other purpose but to fill the purses, rather
pebags of themselves and their vile associates And
the chief importance of the pending election was in the
effect it would have in rdding the State of the carpet
bag tribe They relied only upon the votes of class
who were easily influenced, and whom they had at
tached to them only by the show of power Let
victory of the people be achieved, and that class
would abandon them, end they themselves would aban
don the State with equal rapidty, leaving the field
clear for complete renovation next year.

they acting in good faith he should be glad to
have the influence and intelligence Of that State and Of
the South generally in support Of his administration.
The President inquired of Col. Moorman at what
time the conservative Republicans would nominate
their candidates. aud when informed that it would be
about the first Of September, he said he would see
what kind of ticket they would put in the field, and
that his action would be influenced more less by
subsequent events and the course of affairs in the
South He added that he desired to see the payment
of the public debt secured and the integrity and honor
of the nation rendered inviolate and when this
accomplished he would be satisfied.

Another attempt is being made to drag Gen. Lee

new Governor of Virginia, who has invited him to a
consultation. We sincerely hope the old hero will
persist in keeping aloof from all such entangements

deur Of his honesty and Spartan reticence he offers
such contrast to the noisy idols Of the land to
feet glory on himself and every man, woman and child
in the South who feels interested in preserving rec

But let me think somewhat of the
future. There will come to me anoth-
er hour, which, like the present, will
be the last-but it will be the last of
all my earthly years. The clock will
sound it from the church tower, when
my falling ear can no longer hear it,
and those only who are watching be-
side me count its strokes; then my last
minutes begin, one by one, to depart.
As they go, this heart which now
beats strongly within me, will grow
feeble; until the last pulsatiOn is given
and all is at rest. How happy then
to feel, that the old life is passing away,
a new, better, noblerN life is opening.
Just now it is pleasant to think that
when this hour is gone, and the whole
Of the old year is sealed up in the past,
there is new year present, with all
its opportunities for good, all its hours
of communion with Christ, and days
to Be given to the service of God. So
after death there viii be new scene,
an immortal existence, through which
my soul may move in endless, incon-
ceivable joy, serving God and enjoy
ing him forever more.
z Savior, in the shadows of the last
hour, when my mortal life is ebbing
away, giveme thy presence, and when
its end has come, usher my soul, clad
in thy righteousness, and cleansed by
thy Spirit, into the pleased land where
years, and days, and hours shall be
forgotten, and nothing known or felt
but the fullness of the pleasures Of
eternity.
