More Killing at the West - Richard Taylor, a white man living in the
Cherokee Nation, was lately killed by a Cherokee, who was soon after
killed by a brother of Taylor. |

Murder by Wholesale - Early on the night of the 15th inst., the
family of Mr. William Wright, residing in Washington county, near the
Cherokee line, were disturbed by several men demanding admission. Mr.
Wright answering the summons, was immediately dragged from the door, and
murdered by stabbing. His wife, being alarmed by his cries, immediately
seized one of the children, ,and fled to a house about one mile distant,
where she gave the alarm, stating the persons who attacked the house
were Indians. In the morning a party proceeded to the place of Mr.
Wright and found the house burnt to the ground, and Mr. Wright and four
of the children killed. Two others of the children had been severely
wounded, and one escaped unhurt, who were found concealed on the bank of
a creek near the premises.
Mr. Wright having been known to have recently received a considerable
sum of money, suspicion rested on several white men living near the
line, who were arrested and examined in relation to the bloody
transaction. Most of them were discharged, nothing appearing to warrant
their detention. Two, named Taylor Barnes and Archibald Dillingham, have
been retained in custody, circumstances strongly warranting the
suspicion that they were concerned in the murder - a piece of the vest
of one of them having been found in the yard of Mr. Wright, and the feet
of the horses of both corresponding with tracks found near the spot. The
money which is supposed to have been the object of the attack, had been
deposited by Mr. Wright with his brother, and thus were the murderers
foiled in their design, after the commission of a crime which humanity
shudders at.

Summary Justice - John N. Outlaw, who murdered Dr. Pullen at Pine
Bluff, a short time since, was killed on the Bank of the Mississippi,
opposite Memphis, Tenn., on Friday or Saturday last, by Mr. Redditt,
who, is company with Mr. John W. Pullen, (brother of Dr. Pullen,) and a
Mr. Butler, had started in pursuit of him. Mr. Butler, on meeting
Outlaw, commanded him to surrender; instead of doing so, he cocked his
gun, which he was loading at the time, and snapped it at him. He was
again called to surrender; but he mounted his horse, and was about
putting off, when Mr. Reddit coming up, shot him with a yager, putting
two balls entirely through him; and when he fell from his horse, he was
dead. |

The Springs - Considerable numbers of invalids and others are
attending the Hot Springs, the present season, in search of health,
amusement, and curiosities. It is much to be regretted that the "valley"
has not before now been placed in the hands of some enterprising
individual or company, who, by erected suitable accomodations, would
cause the medicinal qualities of the waters to be more generally useful
to those who are suffering from chronic affections; and the magnificent
country surrounding the springs might be allowed to spread their
attractions before the immense numbers who would flock to them from our
southern cities, to spend the summer in recreation, who are now
compelled to journey a thousand miles to spend the money they have been
for the balance of the year accumulating.
The accomodations at present are barely comfortable; but we hope that
ere long, the government of the United States will pass its title to
private individuals, when we anticipate the erection of handsome hotels
and convenient bathing houses, and the spreading of tables both for the
invalid and the healthy, which will prove a temptation to the weak
appetite of the one and the stronger cravings of the other after a
morning's exercise in the mountains. As things are now, the Springs can
be made useful to invalids and a healthy man, will to rough things a
little, could find sport enough with his rifle or shot gun, to make
amends for the lack of genteel accommodations and sumptuous fare.
A crony of ours was out there a day or two ago, and a graphic sketch of
the country, etc will be found from his pen in another column. |

Theatre - The attractions during the past week have been greatly
enhanced by the production of "The Devil and Dr. Faustus," with elegant
scenery, painted by Mr. Bingham. The strength of the company has been
increased by the engagement, for a few nights, of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert,
and Messrs. Bruce and Morton. |
