Died ---- At Arkansas, universally regretted, on Saturday the 9th
inst. Don Carlos de Villemont, aged 56 years, formerly commandant of the
garrison at the Post of Arkansas, belonging to his Catholic Majesty the
King of Spain, until the cession of Louisiana to the United States. His
complaint was the Hydrothorax, or Dropsy of the Chest, which after a
short but painful illness, terminated his existence. A wife and numerous
family are left to deplore the loss of a kind husband and an
affectionate father and a large circle of acquaintance, to whom he was
endeared by the general suavity of his manners and his unblemished
character, will long remember him as an upright man, a social friend,
and cheerful companion. Communicated.

FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD
WAS missing from the neighborhood of the Chickasaw Bluffs, about the
middle of December last, Clara, a Negro girl about 19 years of age,
middle size, African face, heavy built, toes somewhat turned inwards and
scattering --- she is talkative when indulged, and was originally
purchased of Mr. Richard B. Tunstal, of Louisville, Ky. At the same
time, Louisa, a black girl, about twelve years of age, small for her
years, with slender feet for a Negro, bad face, and hand expression of
countenance; she was purchased from Thomas Hargrave and J.W. Crockett,
living in the Green River country, on the Nashville road. Louisa may
possibly be recognized by speaking of her brother George, a small boy,
who is also owned by her mistress; and either of them, of their former
masters.
About the time these Negroes disappeared from the Bluffs, two horses
were also missing, which have not been heard of, one a bright sorrel,
raw boned, slim, with a switch tail, and one white hind foot. The other
a brown bay mare, small, round and well made, with a heavy switch tail.
No other marks, nor any brands recollected.
The Negroes are the property of Mrs. Henrietta Jacobs, a helpless widow
with three little children. They comprise the chief part of their
estate, and that portion of it upon which they relied much for immediate
support. It is supposed they were decoyed from the Bluffs by one
M'Clellan, who lately escaped from the jail at the Bluffs, and his
accomplices. That they were carried off on horses either to Alabama or
Missouri, and there sold. There is most reason to suspect they were
carried to the former state.
The above reward will be paid for the apprehension and delivery of the
Negroes, or half that for securing either of them. A liberal reward will
also be paid for the return of the horses, and any information relative
to them will be thankfully received and generously rewarded if required.
Should this advertisement meet the eye of those in whose hands the
Negroes now are, it is to be hoped that they will communicate the
circumstance and unite their endeavors in bringing the offenders to
justice.

TRIAL FOR MURDER
On Wednesday last, came on before the Superior Court of this Territory,
the trial of Daniel McCraney, a private soldier belonging to the
garrison at Fort Smith, charged with the murder, about a year since, of
Benjamin Clark, also a private soldier, belonging to the same garrison.
It appeared in evidence on the trial, that on the morning of the day on
which the murder was committed, McCraney had placed a small sum of money
in the hands of Clark, to keep for him, and that they immediately
afterwards started with a fatigue party, to go to their work at hewing
logs. On their way, McCraney, who was intoxicated, demanded of Clark,
the money he had given him to keep, who replied that he could not return
for it then, as it would be a violation of orders, but that he should
have it on their return. He appeared satisfied with this reply for the
moment, but repeated the same demand several times before they arrived
at the place where they were at work, and was each time pacified with
the same reply. After the men had commenced their work, McCraney took
his stand on a log, which Clark was hewing, and watching his opportunity
when the later was engaged at work, struck him across the neck with a
broad ax, which nearly severed his head from his body. As soon as he had
committed this horrid deed, he fled, and made his escape into the woods;
but returned again in the evening, and was immediately taking into
custody, and delivered over to the civil authority, by Col. Arbuckle,
the commanding officer at Fort Smith.
The counsel for the prisoner, contended that he was insane at the time
he committed the act with which he was charged, and than consequently he
could not be deemed guilty of murder. Several witnesses were sworn to
establish this fact. Some of them stated several instances of his
insanity previous to, and about that time; others swore that they
thought him insane on the day he committed the murder; while others
testified that they believed his insanity proceeded entirely from
intoxication.
After the examination of witnesses, and the arguments of the counsel
were gone through with, the case was submitted to the jury; who after
retiring a short time, returned with a verdict of NOT GUILTY. The
prisoner was accordingly discharged. Counsel - for the United States,
Roane and Ashley; for the prisoner, Oden and Sevier.
