BLOODY TRAGEDY.

1--WE Nephews Of General Pillow murdered--
Ihey nrc set Upen BY Masked Men and hia-
died By BuIietg.
The Nashville American, of Jan. i5 has the
following .f4e. leresa
=, Il becomes our painful duty TO chronicle
another one OF those chilling horrors and deeds
OF blood resulting Ia the taking OF human life,
and the bereaving of friends and homo, which
have been but too common In some portions of
our State and upon our border for two or three
wears past. In this instance IL was double
Tragedy, enacted, it would appear, with afro
cious premeditation and deliberate purpose. BY
the outrage two gentlemen Of high standing, of
extended and influential connection, OF chival-
rous and manly courage, have been deprived of
life, and their souls, without q moments premo-
milton, sent to the presence of their God. Tue
scene of the tragedy Is near Leighton, between
Courtland and Tuscumbia, In North Alabama,
and the names Of the parties thus suddenly de-
priyed of life were Granville and William Pillow,
sons Of the late Major q. A. Pillow, of Maury
county, aud ncphews of Major-Gencral Gideon
J. Pillow. They had many relatives in this
section and were we'll known both here and In
counties adjoining. The particulars of the
affair, so far as we have been able 70 learn tbem
are about theee;-
Late In the evening OF Sunday two men
masked and in disguise, rode mp to the house of
Granville Pillow, at tho locality indicated, and
called him to the door. On reaching the door,
one of tho masqueraders of death drew his
pistol and fired, the ball striking his victim in a
vital part. The wounded nan fell bleeding from
the wound. william Pillow, brother of Gran
yille rushed TO the door on hearing the firing t.
the rescue Of his brother Nc, so9uer, had :
made his appearance than the disguised 6end
commenced firing at him also. He was 500 l
proetrated by their fatal balls. They then too'i
William short distance from the house, and in
o species of sink left him dying, rlddled with
balls. Thinking that Granville the eide
brother, might not be quite dead, they then re
turned to the house, aud driving the inmate
away, made sure of their bloody work by firm
additional balls into the body of their victim
Assuring themselves that he was dead, they lef
the premises, and up to the date OF our latest
information no clue as to who the perpetrators
were or as to their whereabouts had been dis
covered.
The two men were closely masked and other
wise disguised. The supposition that the per
petrators may have been negroes is somewhat
strengthened from the fact that some negroes,
some years since, had quite serious difficulty
with one of the Messrs. Pillow, since which time
an old spite has existed, and threats against
them have been freely INDUCED in.

FaiIure of the Strike--The Operators Return-
Ing to Work.

fHh~rc VI tno Strike gne UpeFhtefB Motufn-
The Now York Herald to-day says:-
In spite of the unfavorable weather yesterday
there was, as usual, large attendance at the
strikers meeting held about o'clock, at No.
270 Grand street. Mr.. HutchisOn took the chair,
and after calling the meeting to order read seve-
raj encouraging dispatches from Louisville,
Pittsburg, Chicago, Washington, and Baltimore.
IL seems Ia the latter place all the operators re-
turned to work last saturday, but struck again
on Sunday, leaving but two men at the s'keys."
In Boston twelve of those. who returned to the
company last week. have again come out, and
this time according to their own statement, "to
stay until the whole thing is settled one way or
another" The whole South, 1t seems, still
''stick."
There is no use in Disgusting the fact that In
this city the strike is virtually at an end. Since
last Friday large number of the League have
either gone back to work or have made applca-
ton to the company TO do so. Most of these
men who are now SO anS hOus to get back we're,
of all the League, the loudest and most veno-
nous in their denuneiations of this monopoly
up to the very day of their desertion of their
brothers. Traitors in their midst is what has
killed the League In this city. The proceedings
of every secret meeting held by the organization
has been reported by some OF their own mem
bers directly TO the Western Union Company.
The future for the operators Is indeed dark.
If they have been badly treated aud misused
heretofore they may be expect to be treated
badly in the future, and those men who have
so ignominiously deserted their brethren just
as Victory was about to perch upon their BAN
ners deserve all they are likely to get in that
line.
Most of those who are still out are resolute
and seem determined to "stick' as long as there
Is HE left. Many of them declare that they will
never work another day for the Western
Union Company under any circumstances, pre-
ferriDg rather to adopt some other vocation than
to again be subjected to the insulting and de-
grading regulations and exactions OF that COM
pany.

The Nineteen Million Dollar Heiress- Pleasant
News for Rnvteus People.

The Nineteen Million Dollar Heiress Pleasant
News tor Envtsns People.
Mr.. Archibald, British Consul at New York.
has published card in which he says:
My attention has been called to a paragraph
In the Troy Times of the 10th instant, entitled
ga Nineteen Million Heiress," in which 1t Is
stated that Miss Gray, Fort Edward milliner
had become the fortunate heiress of $19, 900 900,
of which she had received an installment of
$5,0O00O0 from the British Consul in New
York, and that ION Tuesday last she received a
despatch from the Consul announcing that the
money awaited her order, and on the following
day she left Fort Edward for New York, where
1t was paid over to her."
The statement that Miss Gray received any
such despatch from me- and that she subse-
quently received from me the sum of money in
question, Is q pure fabrication. l have neither
received from Miss Gray nor have paid to her
any money whatever; and I-may add that have
no knowledge of any money having been left to
her in England. From circumstances which
have lately been brought to my notice, have
reason to fear that the publication of this story
may be madc the means Of defraudins unsus-
I Getting persons.

The tsaiton Troupe at the Chesnut.
Miss Susan Galton and her troupe were warmly
greeted by large audience last evening at the
Chesnut and ft was evident that they have lost
mono OF taelr popularity during their absence. The
perfor nance commenced with an amusing tribe
entitled Terrible Hypssn, which was performed In
very creditable manner by Mr.. Whiren and Miss
Blanche Galton. Mr.. Whinen is certainly comedian
Of more than usual ability, and he knows how TO
bring to the surface all the fun that there Is In such
o bit OF nonsense as Terrible Hyfnsn.
TAs Prime Donna cf a Night, which introduced the
fair SUSAN is scarcely more pretentious than the
piece that preceded II. 1t Is entirely farcica In
character, and the principal object OF the whole
aair appears TO be to give the prtpsa donna op-
portunity to sing some operate selections. Onen-
baehs contributions TO the musical score are
marked BY all the animation and vyacty OF his
style, although the piece cannot be set down as one
OF his best by any means. II Afforded opportunities
however for some good comic acting as the lead
ing parts were very well sustained, II made very
pleasing entertainment MISS Susan Cation Is as
charming as ever, and her reception last
syening was as cordial as she could wish.

decidedly, both as a singer and an actor since he
was In this city last and he is now avery encIen'
