Murder at seg,,in.

Exum Hollamon, young man of
Seguin, was murdered about midnight
of the 9th, on his return from seeing
a young lady to her home. The weap-
on used was new pick handle with
which his skull was fractured. Rival
ry and jealousy in love is said to be
the explanation Of this fearful crime,
and we learn that suspicion strongly
points to another young man Of Seguin
as the perpetrator.

THE EXCHANGE
THURSDAY, NAY 10. 1879.
A Distinguished Messenger.

Washington Special 10 the Cincinnati Com
mercial.
A noted Confederate General has
lately beeG appointed to messengers
place in the Senate, at salary of
LAO per annum. This is none
other than Cadmus NJ. Wilcox, FORM
erly Major General in the Confed-
crate service, companion of Ger.
Lee, a gradute of West Point; a ga
liant record in Mexico is inscribed
against his name. Gen. Wilcox is
Tennessean, and was appointed by
Jas. K. Polk to West Point in 1912.
Immediately upon graduating he went
to Mexico as Lieutenant, and served
with distinction. On the 9TH of June,
1861, he was stationed in Arizona,
and that day received by the same
mail news that Tennessee had seced-
ed, and also letter from Cen. Scott,
ordering him to report at Washington
at once. Wilcox was not a secession
ist. but he thought his duty was with
his State, and he resigned and re-
turned to Tennessee. In October fol-
lowing he was made Brigadier-Gene-
raj IN the Southern army, and served
in Virginia. He fought at Gaines
Mill and Frazier's farm, commanding
brigade of 1900 men, out of which
he lost 1,055, the heaviest per cent.
of loss of any brigade in Lees army.
At Gettysburg, it was Gen. Wilcox,
who, reporting a disaster to his brig
AIDE to Lee, received the memorable
reply: "Never mind. General; this
is all my fault, and you young men
must help me out of it." Col. Free
mantle, a British officer, was near Lee
at the time, and afterwards wrote an
account of it, in which he refers to
Wilcox as a General wearing short
round jacket and a much battered
straw hat. In August, 1863, Wilcox
was made Major-General, and COM
manded FIVE bligades. At the final
surrender, Wilcox and Sheridan were
the first general officers to meet. They
were both on the skirmish line, and,
learning through flag Of truce that
Lee and Grant were in correspond
ence, Sheridan said to Wilcox: "lt
this is true, we should arrest this al
fair at once, and have no more people
hurt" This ended the last fight Of
Lees army.
The fact that the Senate officials
had no better place to give Gen.
Wilcox than Il messengership shows
that they haven't offices enough to &C
arOdnd.
