A pALH OF BLOOD FROM FRANK
LIN COUNTY, ALABAMA.
Cherokee Advertiser.

On last Tuesday Mr.. Fred Bxitton
and Mr. John Rickard, living four
miles north of this place, started to
work, splitting rails, Mr.. Britton be-,
ing an employer of Mr.. Richard. -
Shortly after they had commenced
work Brition had rail cut partly
open, when Mr.. Richard came up
and put one foo! upon the log and
beat over peeping in the split. when
Mr.. Britton struck him with bis axe
on the back of the neck, almost sew
eriug his head from his shoulders
He then struck him two or throe
ticks more with his axe on tho shoul
ders and breast, inhicting sickening
and ghastly cuts. Mr.. Richard died
instantly. Mr.. Britton then turned
on Richards brother who was works
ing close by aud would have killed
him il be had not fed. Mr.. Britton
then fled, but about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon Was overtaken two or three
miles south Of this place and srres-
ted. He demanded the authority of
the party for his arrest, where>upon
JohnathAn Dobbs, Esq, drew out a
State warrant and began to read it,
when Btitton drew his knife and cut
Mr.. Dobbs in the face, arm and
breast, then turning on Mr.. James
Dempsey cut him dangerously under
the left nipple, then slapped Mr..
VIM. Dempsey, jr., in the temple
ane head. Britton was then knocks
ed down by some of the party and
tied and brought to Jail, severely
hurt himself. All the parties con-
cerned are OF good families and were
heretofore considered our most quiet
and peaceable citizens and the
tragedy has caused all to turn with
disgust upon the scene.--
Mr.. James Dempsey is in a critical
condition and it will take good nurs"
ing and experienced medical aid to
restore him. The other gentlemen
,nt are not seriously hurt and are
getting along very we'll Mr.. John
Rick ard was one Of our best and
meet peaceable citizens, beloved and
respected by all who knew him.

THE LARGEST GAVE ON EARTH.
From the Crayson Advocate.

|
The great cave lately discovered
here has been visited by multitude
of people from various points of thu
United States. We think that Litch
field is destined to become the great
"Mecca" of the world--for the Ma
sonic fraternity, and scientists gen.
orally
For the last two weeks no one has
been admitted to the cave except
upon presenting written permit
from MIR, Rogers, and those who have
been fortunate enough to obtain adj
mission have been principally scien
tists from abroad, who journeyed
here to see the great wonder for
themselves. Ii was necessary to
take this step, as tho cave was rap
idly being despoiled of ito contents
Indeed, several of the mummies and
some of the smaller Masonic emblems
we're carried off before Mr., Rogers
or, in fact, any of our citizens
realized the Importance of the dis
oovery, and of preserving the con-
tents of the cave intact. The SUBJ
terranean river has been so swollen
from the excessive rains of the last
month that no exp!oratations have
been made 10 the avenues beyond it.
Excavations have been made, how
ever, in the chambers or catacombs
where the mummies and Masonic
emblems were found, and in the vi,
entity of the pyramid, and several
tablets with queer hicroglyphcs have
been dug up, also some bronze and
copper vases, and pieces of pottery.
A mound was opened and found to
contain six we'll preserved mummies,
reposng 10 regular order with feet
rsdisting from the centre.
10 the discovery of this cave the
key is undoubtedly found that will
unlock the my stery of the prehistoric
race of America, and also prove their
identity with the ancient Egyptian
race, who undoubtedly crossed over
and peopled this continent, built tenn
pies and hourished in high degree
of civilization until wiped out OF ex-
istence by the ruthless hand of the
savage. The caves of Kentucky un
doubtedly afforded them shelter and
protection, and we're used as sort
of catacomb tor the storage of all that
was uear and dear to them, including
their illustrious dead. Such at least
seems to have been the case 10 this
instance, whether this theory will
apply to the other caves of kentucky
or not.
Many beautiful formations have
been discovered during the last week
The stalactites and stalagmites glis-
ten like 40 many million diamonds.
The pillars and columns Of alabaster
are beautiful beyond description, and
its wonders will have to be seen to
be fully appreciated.

EATING A BOATS CREW.
Shocking Case of Massacre and Cannibalisr

Shocking Case of Massacre and Cannbalism.
The Liverpool Post of the l2th
inst, has a report of horrible mas
sacre at tho Fiji islands. The vicA
tins were the crew of a boat from
the labor vessel Isabel. 1t appears
that the Isabel was on a cruise in
search of laborers, and one of the is
lands touched at was Santo Island
The Isabel lay off the land and a
boat vas sent to the shore to open
negotiations for recruiting workmen,
While the negotiations were in prog
ress, the treacherous Islanders made
sudden attack on the boats crew.
The men were assailed in 80 sudden
manner that they were unable to
offer very much resistance. Out Of
the whole crew but two got away,
and these had narrow escapes, while
one had two wounds in his head in
ficted by tomahawks. 1t was evi>
dent tho attack had been arranged
previous to the landing Of The unfor-
tunate men, as all of the natives
Joined 10 the affray simultaneously.
They were also well armed with
muskets and tomahawks. At the
moment Capt. Hawkins, of the Iss
bel, could do nothing, but come time

sight which met their eyes was
shocking to behold. The village

tives had, evidently, been surprised
while preparing to make their last
meal on the unfortunate men of the
Isabel, as all the remains found had
been cleaned scraped and ready for
cooking. All the human remains
found were collected and burned. -
There was not the slightest doubt in
the minds of the searchers that the
remainder Of the bodies had been
eaten by the Santo Island natives
who are known to be caunibals. -
Capt. Hawkins received the full par

who escaped, and who positively az
frmed that not the Highest provoca'
ton was given to the islanders tC

possible after the sad affair, Capt
Hawkins proceeded to FIJI to repOr
the matter to the authorities there.

A UNANIMOUS CONVENTION
Sparta Isllmaelite.


This is just what Gen. Gartrell
has done. He resolved himself into
convention, and took the chair
without opposition. He appointed
himself committee of one on bust
ness. He constituted himself the
committee on platform. He reported
Felson's platform to himself, Secon-
ded his own motion, voted for il and
carried it, and took his stand upon it,
He then, as committee on nomiDa-
tons, reported in favor of himself,
and carried the report with the came
unanimity that characterized the
earlier stages Of the convention. =
He then adjourned with great enthu
siaam, and in q frame of mind that
was strangely hopeful. Now, the
trouble about this convention is, it
was too unanimous, aud too thinly
attended. 1t was a one-sided affair.
No one else was allowed showing.
No one else was present but POST
Appeal reporter, aud he was not al
lowed to vote. He simply discharg.
ed the duty of recording the cOnclu'
sions to which the convention came.
The democrats of Georgia will not
endorse this convention, or Ito con.
clusion. They prefer a~candidate
put forward by convention COM
posed of delegates from every county
in the State.
