COL. A. J. KELLAR.

A correspondent of the Bolivar
Bulletin, pays no more than a just
compliment to Col a. J. Kellar, of
the Memphis Avalanche, when he
calls upon that gentleman to become
candidate for Congress for the
State at large. Col. Kcllar has, by
the force OF his genius and the fore
sight and political sagacity nc has
displayed, placed himself in the
front ranks of the editorial corps of
Tennessee; and we do not doubt
that, If elected he would very soon
place himself abreast Of the most
honored and useful members of
Congress. But it would seem a
pity to take him from a field OF use
fulness and honor, where his power
is felt and acknowledged by all, to
put him in position at once far
less honorable, and infinitely less
useful. II he wishes to 20 TO Con-
gross, let him announce himself at
once; but we think, upon taking a
sober view of the matter, that he
will decline to leave the high posi-
ton he now occupies to take one Of
inferior dignity, inferior honor-if
of superior pecuniary value.

A PItifuI Condition.

they have no relish for anything which az

MURDER NEAR DENmARK.
A white Man Horribly mutiIaIed
by Negro.

Mr.. w. j. Rose, who resides about
five miles west of Denmark, was
murdered on Monday evening last,
in his own field, by young negro
man by the name of Martin Rose
They left the house together after
dinner, to hoe piece of corn. Night
came Oh and neither of them re-
turned, but Mr.. Roses wife, think
ing that he had stepped over to a
near neighbours to sit until bed
time, which was his frequent habit,
thought nothing OF her husbands
absence. She retired early, fell
asleep, and did not wake up until
morning, when fearful apprehen-
sion seized her, and search for the
absent husband began. He was
found in the field, frightfully mutt
lated and insensible. His head was
q mass of cuts, his face beat into
perfect jelly, and even his eyes al
most dug out, as if by the sharp
corner of hoe. lie was carried to
the house and his wounds dressed,
but his consciousness never re-
turned, and death came to his relief
in the course of "a hours. The mo-
tive of the hcartless murderer, none
can conjecture, but he was univer-
sally regarded as a dangerous and
unruly negro. He is very black,
about the medium height and size,
and is not over % or % years of age.
Up to last accounts he was still at
large, though every effort possible
was being made to effect his arrest.
The murdered man was highly re-
spected as q citizen, and leaves a
wife and one or two children. A
more startling or shocking murder
it has seldom been our painful duty
to record, and we hope that extra
ordinary efforts will be made to ar
rest the brutal fiend, by individual
citizens, and by both county and
State authorities. Let a reward so
large be offered that even his own
race will reveal his hiding place.
The people in the neighborhood of
the murder are terribly aroused,
and hundreds abandoned their bust
ness to hunt the miserable villain.
