MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
TENNESSEE.

NASHVILLE, February 2l.-Yesterday
afternoon negro man called on Major
Fredericks, commander Of detachment
Of United States troops stationed at
Columbia, and informed him that the
dead body of white man had been dis
covered in Duck river, two and haif
miles southwest from Columbia. Msjor
Fredericks sent a squad of soldiers to the
designated spot, who returned with the
body last night Upon examination 1t
nroved TO be that of detective Barmore,
who was taken from a railroad train at
Columbia month since by masked men.
A rope was Ground the neck, the end OF
it forming a moose, as if it had been tied
to something. The hands were tied
behind the back with linen handkeI'
chief A valuable diamond ring was
on one of the fingers. He was evidently
not murdered for money. A coroners
inquest was held over the body to day.
The proclamation of Governor Brown
low, declaring martial law in the coun-
ties of Overton, Jackson, Maury, Giles,
Lawrence, Marshall, Gibson, Madison
and Haywood, and ordering General
Cooper to send militia force to them,
published to-day, excites much uneasi-
ness. Thoughtful men fear it is the
commencement of serious troubles in
Tennessee. General Cooper is an ex-
perienced soldier, and may avert the
dangers apprehended.

payments; Number 5 meant money 10

THE DEMON OF DRINK -"THE
CRY OF A LOST SOUL"

A brief paragraph in Louisville
newspaper recently stated that an
cable and gifted editor connected
with leading northwestern jour
nal is now an inmate of the City
Hospital" The person referred to-,
who was sent there during an attack
of delirium tremens, furnishes the
Louisville Courier j ournal with an
account of his temptations and his
struggles, that will be read with
deep interest by all friends Of tenn
perance. He says:
AS I sit now in my lofty three
windowed room, two looking to the
south and one to the west, even with
some and above many Of the trees
and housetops, the sunlight softly
touching both, and the clouds as
beautiful as clouds at evening are,
the lights shining out one after an
other from chamber and parlor, my
mind is wandering away over river
and plain and lake to pretty cot
tage veranda, whereupon sit sad
wife and two noble little boys
eight and four--asking her "when
will papa come home ?" She has
heard all, and that I will get well.
But she has heard that before. In
early life she had shadow cast
across her path, and she fears that.
at some future day, when l have
been less fortunate than now, her
children may be fatherless! God
forbid. Let those who would help

THURSDAY MORNING,

tendrils cling to me, like tendrils to

but l fight not as many think, an

drinkers steaming with fresh mint;
with invitations to drink; with q
constant impulsion to forget the
shame and misery of the moment;
with the bare hope my lost means
may be regained at the gambling
table, where the liquors are free.
But these are only the grosser temp
tations such as l do not fear; they
come nearer at the close of a de-
bauch with me, do not precede it.
The tempter that comes upon me,

A Young Man Kills His Dearest
Friend.


Sunday evening. about 7 O'Clock,
there occurred at Franklin a most
lamentable and melancholy tragedy,
which has fallen like pail on that
community. The parties to the sad
affair were both young men of high
standing and responsibility in that
vacinity, hence the sorrow that we
experience when called upon to
chronicle the occurrence. But we
will attempt with an unbiased and
truthful pen to repeat the story un-
colored as it was told and corrobo
rated to us in the main by
several persons arrived here from
Franklin. The young men were
jeff. M. DeGraffenreid and Jas. L.
McGavock, the former twenty and
the latter eighteen years of age. The
difficulty originated in the presence
Of ladies whom the young gentlemen
were visiting. McGavock being of
thin visage and sparemade, was
jokingly addressed by DeGraffenreid
who on the other hand, was heavily
built and robust, with some remark
regarding his build, but as iocularly
retorted that had he have resorted
to the indulgence Of ardent spirits,
as he (DeGraffenried) had done,
perhaps he too would have been
as large. At this remark the latter
became much offended, and told Nc
Gavock that he would settle with
him afterwards. Soon after De-
Graffenreid quilted the company,
and in short while McGavock did
likewise. The former, it appears,
went down into the town and armed
himself. McGavock proceeded to
DIR. McNutt's Academy, of the mar
gin of the town, where he was board
ing, in company with young man
named Sanders. DeGriffenreid fol
lowed some two or three hundred
yards in the rear, when he met a ne
gro on horseback and caused him to
dismount. Vaulting into the vacant
saddle, he soon came up with Nc
Gavock, who, however, had by this
time reached the ecademy gate. De-
Graff,enreid dismounted and drew
his pistol, but was prevented from
using it by the interposition of San
ders, and thereupon returned it to
its scabbard. McGavock picked up
a rock and threw it at DeGratfenreid
but missed him, and received from a
bowie knife in DeGraffenreid' hand
a frightful cut Immediately under
the heart which left cash three
inchee long, severing one of the ribs
and passing through to the entrals.
McGavock fell back in the arms of
his; companion mortally wounded.
DeGraffenreid remounted and rode
back to the negro to whom he de-
! livered his horse. He then repaired
to the livery stable of Vaughn d
Neely, and ordered a horse, and with
tears in his eyes sard that he had
s'killed the best friend he had on
earth and for Gods sake wished
that no one would attempt to Arrest
him" He was soon out of town
and riding in the direction of his
father house three miles out on the
Lewisburg pike. At the toll gate
he met DR.. Vaughan, and exhibit
ing the bloody knife to him said he
had killed a man with it. This is
the last that had been seen of De
Graffienreid, at least so stated our
informants.
The wounded man lived through
! his agony until two yesterday morn

The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1869-02-04

SEVERAL of the most prominent
Republican papers in the State are
advocating the abolition of the office
Of State Printer. They seem to re-
gard such action necessary to fulfill
the promises of. retrenchment and
economy, made by the party to the
people during the canvas last Sum
mer. IF the Office of State Printer is
using up more money than would be
fair to pay for the work done, fought
to be abolished or renovated. But
should the Legislature conclude to
give the printing out to the lowest
bidder, the law regulating the same
must be very stringent in its provls
ions to prevent swindliDg. Bids Will be
handed in at less rates than the work
can honestly be done for, those max
ing them depending upon swindlint
operations in measurement ane
stock for their profits. The truth Of
the matter is, it seems very hard jus
now for municipal, State or govern
mental authorities to prevent stealing
on the part Of subordinates.
