the murder of Jesse ID. White, which
occurred on the evening Of the 10th
ultmo. From Esquire Thomas ID.
Coates we gather the following synop-
sis of the testimony addpced before the
coroner's inquest.
Mr.. Perrygo, who resides about eight
miles below Scyene, testified that the
deceased, who was about nineteen
years of age, came to his house on the
evening Of Thursday, March IS. That
on Friday evening, about dusk, two
men with guns were discovered by de-
ceased walking up the road; deceased
was lying on bed facing the window
at the time, but on discovering them
jumped up and remarked to Mrs. Per-
rygo that he expected they were after
him. The men advanced to the south
door of the house, and hailed the in
mates. While Mr.. p. endeavored to
answer the hail, the deceased opened
the north door and attempted to escape.
One of the two strangers ran around
the house and commanded White to
halt, which he refused to do, when the
stranger raised his gun and fired, the
shot taking effect under the left shOul-
der blade causing death almost in
The two men then walked off to
house about one hundred yards dis
tant and stopped. A moment or two
after their arrival Mr.. PerrygO came
up and asked the men If they knew
why the deceased had been killed.
One of the men asked if the boy was
dead, and being answered. in the affirm
ative, the two mounted their horses,
which We're hitched near by, and re-
marking awe are strangers" rode
OIL. They were riding good horses,
and were evidently strangers, as they
were unknown to any Of the neighbors
who saw them.
The affair is deeply regretted by the
citizens. No reason can he assigned
for the preparation of the deed, and
the entire affair is clothed in mystery.
Crops look well, and the people are
elated over the prospects of good
crop year. Wheat looks fine, corn is
all planted, and cotton nearly so. With
a good season, thorough administra-
ton of the law, and peace and good
one of the lovelest and most pros
will among its citizens, Scyene will
make what nature intended it to be
porous spots in our great state.

THE United States supreme court,
last week, decided the following point
as 10 the status of the legislatures of
the seeded states:
In these cases the question was
whether insurance companies charter
ed 10y the state of Georgia when in n
state OF rebellion have any legal exist
ence. The court holds that as the Leg
islature was the law-making power OF
Il state de facto, all enactments not in
actual hostility to the constitution and
the union of the states, and not pro-
hibted, must he held to have the force
generally accorded TO the action of dc
f;.eto public officers. Any other doc
urine would work unnecessary hard
shipupon the people of the other states,
and without any advantage to the ma
tional government. The incorporating
acts had no relation to anything else
than the domestic concerns of the
state and must be treated as valid.

Another RniIrOnd Accident.

The HERALD is again called upon
70 chronicle another terrible and most
probably fatal railroad accident. Sum
day night, about halfpast nine o'clock,
a brakeman named Scott Manning,
while endeavoring to couple the front
angine of the locomotive to some cars
at rcrrell, was unfortunately jammcd
in between them, and received such
injuries as will in all probability result
in his death. He received a terrible
cut in his left side, through which
his heart and lungs were plainly
visible, besides having his right foot
terribly mangled. The railroad cm-
poyes did all in their power for him.
He was transferred to comfortable
quarters, and two skillful physicians
summoned to attend him. Strange as
it may appear, his physicians feel con-
iident of saving his life, II they can
succeed in keeping down inflammation.

tent that it threatens the depopulation

alarm in the country between the Nue.

these raids, in which our people are
ruthlessly murdered and their proper
ty forcibly taken by these foreign des-
peradoes, is widespread, and unless
relieved by some assurances of pr0tec-
ton must result in general breakup
of the settlements.
On the 2Gth of this month a large
party of these robbers penetrated the

of Corpus Christi, robbing stores and
ranches, and numbering and capturing
citizens, and capturing and destroying
the United States mail. l appeal to
your excellency for protection for the
people of that country against these
outlaws from Mexico, since they have
been of almost weekly occurrence for
several months past, and are increas-
ing in force and boldness. The citi-
zens of that country have been com
PEELED for the most part to move To the
towns for protection, and no security
exists outside of these corporations for
life or property, and the people in the
towns even hold themselves in con-
slant readiness for defense.

IL proper to give security to the people

extreme necessity exists for it.
