FEARFUL TRAGEDY IN PARIs-A fearful
tragedy occurred January 2sth in the Rue du
Faubourg st. H0nore, in Paris, a lady named
dered by her fOOtman, who also dangerously
wounded the lady's maid and the cook. The
man during the day had had an alteration with
his mistress, and when, about six in the evening
she ordered him to serve the dinner, he rushed
at her with knife and cut her throat killing
her on the spot. The two female servants came
to the assistance Of their mistress, and in the
struggle which ensued one was cut so severely
that her life is despaired of. The murderer who
is Belgian by birth, and is believed to have
been at the moment in state OF intoxication,
was eventually secured by an uphOlsterer living
in the house, and was given into the custody OF
the police. A terrible detail in connection with
this crime is that the husband of Nine. Lombart
Is stricken with paralysis, and saw his wife muir
dered before him without being able to afford
her assistance. 80

penitentiarY ConHic;s.

The Deputy Sheriff of Maury county
reached the city yesterday, bringing seven
convicts to the Penitentiary. Six of them
were colored, and are convicted for various
offenses, embracing crimes Of man-slaugh-
ter, felony, etc. Among the lot was one
of Brownlow's militia, who is callous even
to his own depravity. He is stepped in
crime to the lips, his robberies, burglaries
and thefts being too numerous to mention.
So dead to every good impulse or pure
emotion has he become, and so hardened
in his evil doings he is, that he laughingly
boasts Of his criminal exploits. On his way
up, although in the custody Of an acting
officer, and a convicted felon, sentenced to
expiate MS dark deeds in felOn's cell, he
laughly boosted of many Of his misdeeds.
He pointed cut various houses which he
had robbed, saying, I got so much from
that house and so much from the other, on
such a night and at such q time. He is
undoubtedly given over to hardness of
heart and reprobacy of mind

The POLK County Tragedy.


The Cleveland Banner thus refers to the
murder briefly referred to in our paper of
yesterday:
On last Friday evening a man by the
name OF Van jackson, from Bridgeport,
Ala, was arrested ct this place, on charge
that he was one of the party who killed
Baker Armstrong in Polk county, in the
summer of 1864. Armstrong was killed
during raid made by Gatewood. After
arrest Jackson was taken to Polk to see
whether he could be identified by the
mother and sister of Armstrong. The
ladies said that they were certain
that jackson was one Of the men that
did the shooting that killed the son and
brother. This testimony on an eXaInin-
ing trial would, of course, bind him over
to court. He was ordered to the Jail of
this county for safe keeping. On Monday
the officer, with guard, started TO bring
him to this place, strongly tied on horse.
Accompanying the prisoner was his wife,
the officer, "a young Mr.. Duff j. ii.
Walker, Ans Armstrong, P. H Low and
S. S. Armstrong. The officer and Ans.
Armstrong were before with the prisoner
between them; Mr.. Walker with Mrs.
jackson, in buggy, were a few yards IN
/ the rear, while Low and Sam. Armstrong
were still some distance behind them.
About eight miles from this place, where
the road makes sudden bend, the prisoner
and the officer and Ans. Armstrong were
out Of sight of those in the rear.
While thus situated the prisoner was shot
at five times, three balls taking effect in
and near the abdomen. Those in the rear
hurried up to the scene of the shooting, cut
Jackson loose from the horse, after he had
been badly bruised by the jumping about
of the frightened animal, and found Ans.
Armstrong gone, which is pretty conclu-
sive evidence that he done the shooting.
Jackson lived until two o'clock on Tuesday
morning, when he died. His attending
physician informs us that his dying decla-
ration was: ''That he was innocent, that he
had never seen Armstrong, and that he
had never been in Polk county before Sat
urday last" Whether guilty or not, all our
good citizens regret the manner of his
death.
These are all the particulars we have
been able to gather.

CONTRABANDS ELEVATED.
NashviIle Darkies Looking Up

N~ASANhAO DSAkAACS AOOnAHB SPs
Some time since we published the fact
that Johnson Read, an individual formerly
from this city, had been elected to the
Office of Court Clerk in Texas, the per-
quisites of which are almost equal to the
salary of the President of the United
States. Then the intelligence is tele-
graphed and published that Senator
Revels, colleague of Ames and Alcorn,
is elected from Mississippi. Revels,
we believe, is from Madison, Indiana.
Though he has no white blood in him, he
is of lighter color than the coal-black Ne
gro, being of rather copper or Spanish
brown color. He resided in Memphis for
a compile of years, whence he migrated to
Mississippi. He is minister Of the Cos
pei, and it is said he prays heartily. He
has brother living here who is a NJ. D.,
and who keeps a drug store at No. II
Cedar street, just above Summer, and
who lives on the corner of Cumberland
alley. He was as we learn, never a slave.
His brother is sort of Gamaiel among
the men and brothers, and is a quiet, use
full and honest man among them. There
will be revels in the Senate Chamber at
Washington, and if the bright ''star that
glitters to the name of Mississippi be blot
ted out, the stripe will be left behind a fit
emblem of her degradation"
