Texas TRAGEDY.-Mr. Lamdin, who
is just in from Granbury, gives Us the
particulars Of the hanging OF old man
Mitchell and the killing OF Jen Mitchell
while attempting to convey poison 10 his
father. Although every enOrt was made
10 secure the communication Of the sentence,
Governor Coke was firm in his refusal,
and on Friday last the officers proceeded
to put the sentence into execution.
Mitchell, who is = man eighty years Of
age, made several attempts 10 commit
suicide, on "Wednesday night, by hanging
himself with a chain that he had wrench
ed from the door, but his heart failed
him. lie spent the night in cursing the
Sheriff and officers, and on Thursday
night a guard was placed in his cell 10
ut-SclflestruCtiOu. On Tuesday
night the guard about the Jail discovered
an armed man crawling toward the jail,
aud not knowing how many others there
might be, fired. The next morning the
IifclcS~ body of JEFF Mitchell, youngest
son of the doomed man, aged about
tweuty-oue years, was found on the
ground, the whole top Of his his head
blown of. He was armed with i double
barrcled shotgun, and had a brace Of
Colts revOlvers bucklcd around him, and
all heavily loaded. In his pocket was 4
large vial of laudanum wrapped with
rags which he was evidently conveying to
his father. The old man asked that the
body be brought into the Jail, that lac
might see his son, and was much affected.
Near by his horse was hitchcd, his hat
and boots was tied 10 the saddle. The exc
curion was attended by nearly five thou
sand people. \ little after one o'clock the
wagon containing the doomed man, seat
ell on his coffin, proceeded TO the gallOWs.
The rope was tied with the hangman's
knot and the aged murderer arose TO ad
dress the crowd. His address was direct
ed To the young, and he took occasion 10
assert his innocence In the strongest
terms lie denounced the Truitts: said
they had swindled him out Of 81 ,OOD, and
had caused all the trouble. The murder
Of his son lac denounced IN the most Bit
ter terms.
During his speech a quarrel in the
crowd came near creating the greatest
. excitement, bur was Quelled. The old
man spoke for near half hour, said he
was ready 20 die, and then ordered the
sheriff to proceed with the execution.
lie was pluck 10 the last, and died with
out the least exhibition Of fear. The
Alitchell-Truitt tragedy has created the
Z utmost excitement in Hood County.
/ The result may be summarized as fol-
lows: The killing of the two Iruitts, OF
. .Jeff Mitchell while conveying poison 10
F his father, the hanging Of the old man,
. Two men Snow and Owens. in the Beni-
rcutiary for life. and William Mitchell
! and Nit Groves fugitiyes from justice,

University Education in Tennessee.

A great expansion Of the higher intel
lectual culture is now occurring IN our
state. Six universities are or soon will
be established within its bounds. There
are the Vanderbilt AZ Nashille, she South
ern at Scwauee. the southwestern at
Clarksville, the Cumberland At Lebanon.
the Baptist at Jackson, the State Uniyer-
sitv NJ Knoxville.
All this is certainly worthy OF note,
and the more so when we consider that
five of them are founded by as many
large denominations Of Christians not rs
local institutions, but for the purpose Of
meeting the wants Of large sections Of,
the country embraced by these churches.
The Vanderbilt Is the University Of the
Methodist Church, South; the Jackson
University, Of tbs Baptists in the same
section: the one al SeWanee, Of the Epis-
copal Church in the Southern States /;
that at ClarksVille, or the Presbyterians
in the Southwest. the Cumberland Uni
versity is the fountain head Of the Cum
berland Presbyterian denomination.
Now, that all these important churches,
each covering many States, should select
Tennessee for the location Of their great
seats Of learning, is a striking circum-
stance, and gives this State prOmi-
nence. which will secure for il a culture
hitherto unparalleled in its history. As
yet they are but colleges, but we trust the
GuOIAs OF 4IlCllub III lEall5AoILA ll4elll lllNO
genuine universities.
Three of these institutsOns-thOse at
Knoxville, Lebanon and Sewanee-haVe
been in operation for some years. Bish-
op Quintard is now in Europe on a mis-
sion for the last named, from which they
anticipate important results
The Vanderbilt has just sprung into
life with ample endoWments aud ap-
paratus, and with an able corps Of teach
ers
President shelton has entered upon
his work At jackson, and we hope to be
able soon to record his progress.
President Shearer has recently pub
lished a report of the Southwestern Pres
byterian University, from which we gath
er the following information: Stewart
CcOllege, at Clarksville, was selected AS
the basis Of the University. The control
is lodged in the hands Of twelve direct
ors, appointed by the six synOds Of Nash
vile, Memphis, Alabama, Mississippi,
Arkansas and Texas. Ii begins with an
endowment of two hundred thousand
dollars, although the field has not been
canvassed for a dollar. lt has an able
faculty, and more than hundred and
fifty students. DIR. y. w. Hoyte, OF
Nashville has been appointed Financial
Agent, and viii enter upon his duties At
once. 1t is expected by his friends or
the institution, that DIR. Palmer, of
New Orleans, will become its Chancel-
lor.
We anticipate great results from the
energies OF the churches being thus devO-
ted to the cause Of higher education.
Most of these universities are in Middle
Tennesse, and their presence must pro-
duce a marked impression OH the intel
lectual character OF our people as we'll
as upon their moral and religious train
