ALExANDRIAN MURDERED Among the
victims of the atrocious outraGes being perre-
trated in Arkansas by the militia, We notice
in the Memphis papers the name OF Maj. Geo.
Harvey, son of the late Peter Hewett, of this
city. Major II. was taken by Gen. Harvey
when be was quite young, and adopted, and
has since borne his name. He was young
man of much promise, was very popular, and
highly esteemed by all who knew him. Major
H. was captured with two other gentlemen,
and confined at place called Frenchman S
Bayou, tortured, and 6oally murdered. One
of the Memphis papers, in its account, says:
"While Major Harvey was prisoner some
members of the militia called at the house of q
we'll known lady near Marion, and said we
understand that you would give FIVE tnonssR9
dollars for Majors Harney's life" She rePlle99
frankly: Eyes, would give twenty thoussSSu u
dollars to save his lie; he is gentleman Mno
has not done any crime, and wouid give my
thing to save his life" The next DAY MsJoI
Harvey, with two others, WAS brutaly muruer-
ed by the militia"

vention of Virginia, who was competent to
assist in the preparation of Constitution for
State government, he had mentioned the name
of Judge Underwood, and that Mr. Button
had Immediately replied that Judge Under
wood was a rogue. He also stated that when he
asked respectable citizens of Lynchburg why
it was that Virginians would not pay more
than ten cents day for labor, the gentleman
had responded that it was done In order to
show the Yankees that the negroes were not
as well provided for now that they were free as
they were when they were slaves, and that this
same gentlemen had said that he hoped a
thunder bolt would come and send all the ne
groes and Yankees to the place Of perdition-to
which he had replied that he hoped God would
bless the maker of the wish and everybody
else. He stated unqualifedly that his belief
was that no carpet. Dagger, scalawag or negro
could obtained justice or be safe in Virginia,

given TO the speakers at Radical meeting at
Hamilton, among whom was colored man
named Laugson, and had shirked that dinner,
because he was one of those speakers and had
been invited 70 eat with the others. He then
said the statement was untrue, and read GER

hotel at which the party were furnished with
dinner stating that he, Downey, not only did
eat with Lqngston but, paid for the entire din
ner. and that the name of Mr.. Mckenzie did
