BY the name of Columbus Davis, to take
her to his home; and it was while near
ing the residence Of Mrs. Wiswell, where
the daughter had taken refuge, that Scott
unexpectedly aud deliberately shot aud
instantly killed Mr. Toms. Mr.. Davis
Immediately sprsng from the wagon and
seized the murderer, who had also, with
out effect, fortunately, fred a shot ct
him. The murderer managed to break
away from Mr.. Davis. and at once pro-
ceeded to the house of Mrs. Wiswell, with
the svowed determination of killing bis
wife. Timely aid was at hand, and the
doors and windows were Fastened. The
murderer, foiled 10 the attempt to kill his
wife, and aware that the ueighborhood
would soon be aroused, abandoned the
sfort, and fed.
At the time Of the murder, great por-
.tiou of the people in the hamlet and
vicinity were worshipping in the church
near by. But they were soon spprised
OF the bloody deed, and at once many
persona were 10 pursuit Of the murderer,
who, we regret to state, has not yet been
captured.
To add to the horror OF the tragedy,
az soon as Mr. Toms was shot, the horses
became frightened and ran away. He
fell down in the wagon bed, and his life
less body was carried at wild speed by
the frightened animals for considerable
distance. has '6'l

greatest effort is being made to capture
him, which, we trust, will be successful.
THE MURDERER KILLS HIMSELF
The murderer, being so closely pressed
by the officers and citizens on Monday
night, killed himself at his mothers
house. When informed that the posse
was approaching, he requested the in
mates of the house to cay be was not
there, out they, fearing the pursuing
party, told him they must say he was.
Having no hope of escape, be placed to
his breast and fred the same weapon

Thus ended terrible and shocking

captured and destroyed here by the Con-
federstes
The Baron DeKalb, q Federal iron
clad, was blown up and destroyed by q
torpedo half mile belsw Yazoo City.
The Confederate gunboat Mobile was
burned near the same spot. The Repub-
lie and Alonzo Child lie near here, their
machinery having been removed to
Selma, Ala, where it was afterwards
placed 10 Confederate gunboats.
At Liverpool Landing, some twenty
miles below Yszoo City, several vessels
we're scuttled and burned. Among them
was the famous Capitol owned at Mem
phis, and which during the summer Of
1860, made thirteen successive weekly
trips between Memphis and New Or
leans. The gunboat V. a. Joy also lies
here: first as the Roger Williams, noted
for speed ia New England waters, then
as the FL Paraguay, South American
gunboat, again as towboat, towing
ships between New Orleans and the
Gulf, then transformed intoya Confed-
crate var vessel 'and as Hollin's flag
ship, making rapid dashes in front of the
enemy about Cairo and Birds Point.
Her career was surely an eventful one.
Her hull lies in dangerous position,
causing passing steamers to work with
caution 10 making the run up or down.
The gunboats Lady Polk, Maurepas
and Van Dorm are also sunk here The
latter, once we'll known as the JuniuS
Beebe, and one of the best vessels Of her
class ever constructed, WAS built OF New
Orleans in 1854. With low pressure ma
chipery of great power, she wes one Of
the fleetest and handsomest vessels that
ever dashed past the shipping in front oi
the Crescent City. The Lady Polk was
known in earlier days as the Nashville
steamer Ell Howard, and latter as one
of Holins' gunboat feet.
At Snyder's Bluffs, below, is the hulk
of the ironclad Cairo, blown up by Con-
federste torpedo. These, with the Hope
and Ben McCulloch, afterward raised,
comprise all the vessels destroyed during
the war on the Yazoo. Many have since
been dsmantled, and their machinery re-
moved by the United States Government.
Several still have their machinery on
board, and are either disputed or private
property.
Ia addition to the above, the 81. D.
Mears, Emma Bell and Argo were de-
stroyed up the Sunaower, and the Dew
Drop up Quiver, one of its afAaents.
Near the bridge crossing of theaVicks
burg railroad to jackson on Big Black
river, the steamers Charm and Paul Jones
were burned. The gunbost Arkansas,
built at Memphis, and completed in
Yszoo, was blown up just above Baton
Rouge at the timo it was attacked by
Breckinridge in 1862. A huge war yea
sci was burned on the stocks, half fin-
ished at Yazoo City. These complete

Ye American officer.
Iattar In tha nhinaen Trinnna l


There are lights in any life as well as
its shadows. A young man has fancy
for West Point, and his father gets him
an appointment. At the end Of four or
five years he graduates, sudis sent to his
regiment as q second lieutenant. Hav-
ing been educated by the Government,
he owes it two years service before he
can resign creditably, and he serves his
term, firmly determined to resign. But
when the two years are up, he sees
chance for promotion, and makes up his
mind to wait until he is First Lieuten-
ant. Then he has formed attachments
and associations he does not like to
break up; and thus he fingers year after
year, always desiring to resign, vet
never doing it. There is a sort of fasci-
nation about the army; and, after being
in it for q few years, an officer is,
in great measure, unified for civil
pursuits. Yet more men quit arms than
any other profession. Nearly half of
onr officers are now seeking civil en-
ploy ment. They are applicants for every
position under the sun, from first-class
ministership to Q foreign court down to
third-clsss clerkships 10 dry goods stores.
Many have sought and obtained civil
offices from their old comrade, General
Grant, who does not forget that he was
once poor Lieutenant, and is very kidd
to the army. Others are turning their
attention to literature, and writing books,
IL ssgszine and newspaper articles, in i'm.
mense numbers. The truth is, let them
live ever SO economically, officers cannot
make both ends meet, unless they have
private means, or earn something besides
their pay"

There is no place in the world where

France than volumes of description.
This incident of the last week feel,
however, at liberty to relate. During the
