Chambers, administrator, sold at public outcry the plantations known as the Mill Tract and Oswlcheo Bend plantation, the property of James Wright, deceased. This property contained 5,245 acres of land, over three thousand of which are line bottom river lunds. The plantation was owned some fif teen years ago by Hope A Co., of Am sterdam, Holland, who placed Gen. James Hamilton in charge of it at a salary of $3,000 per year. It was after wards sold to Major Wright for $140,000 —there being over three hundred slaves on it at the time. The bidding, wo are informed, was not very animated. The bend place, contained over four thousand acres, was bid oft’ by Col. W. S. Shepherd, for about $20,000; the mill tract, containing one thousand acres, by Mr. Henry Chambers for $3,000. The terms were one-third cash, one- third in twelve months and om>third in two years, with interest. On the bend place js one of the finest country residences in this country ami contains some fourteen rooms. This property was considered one of the most valuable pieces in tills section and it is surprising that it brought no more.

Last evening at the residence of Mr. W. H. Hauls ,of tills city, Mr. Wil liam P. Langdon was married to Miss Lizzie Graves, by Rev. A. B. (‘amp- bell.

Miss Mary Anderson, under the management of John W. Norton, will be hero February 9th. She is greatly admired by tiie Columbus people and will be greeted by a full house. Mr. Springer informs'us that he lias not been advisod as to what these dif ferent troupes will play. Protection to Buiumla. It has been suggested that our City Council pass an ordinance for the pro tection of these carnivorous birds when they come into the city, the object be ing not to allow them to be disturbed, in order that they may become tame and assist in carrying away tlie filth of the city. This will do very well if the city fathers will not allow people to ex cuse their filth on tho plea of tame buz zards. That is, “there are plenty tame buzzards in tho city, and there is no use of my trying to keep my lot clean.” Buzzards are not apt to be very persis tent in coming here no way, as there is nothing to draw them. Consequently, they are not needed. Go on with the buzzard act. The Marriage Baal* We have never known marriages to occur so rapidly as during tho present season—we mean winter, of course. We have chronicled on an average of two a day, we’ll venture to say, for the past thirty days. Judge Brooks, up to Wednesday night, had issued twelve marriage licenses, beginning last Mon day. Five of these, however, were for Oar Baaday aad CkrUtaaa* laaae. . Our preparations for previous issues have never been so elaborate as for these two. Everybody expects some thing remarkable, and so do we in the line of advertising. Already about two hundred dollars’ worth has been se cured, and we expect still more, yea, three times the amount. We will have out an*extra number to send far and wide outside of our circulation, beside the reading matter will lie such as to make everybody delighted after hav ing perused it. Our Christmas issue will be the size of the “Sunday,” and both will l>e of such value as to make all desire it as an appetizer for breakfast. Wc are going to reach the maximum of these two issues. Just send in your advertise ments and have them distributed or disseminated among your customers, and those who are not your customers. MUSCOGEE SUPERIOR COURT. Judge NOYKMMKM TKMM, tSTf. J.

A Neven-Year-Old Ulrl the Vletlua—He Entires ller Awny While the Mother la ut Work—The Neoundrel Still Large. Rumors have been floating around for the last few days to the effect that a seven-year-old girl had been raped, We succeeded in getting pretty well into the facts on yesterday, and give them to our readers that the scoundrel may be hunted down and dealt with : On Monday evening a man, said to be one Joe Crawford, aged about nineteen years, while sauntering near the factory boarding house, stopped at one of the rooms and asked a little daughter, Nannie, of Mrs. Margaret Yancey, an employe in the E. A P. Mills, to accompany him to the woods. She told him that she did not care to go, when he insisted, saying he would get her some sweetgum. There was no one at home but herself and a younger sister, hor mother being at work in the factory. She was beguiled by this scoundrel to the woods—little dream ing of the fate that awaited her. The neighbors would have interfered, but supposed he was a kinsman of hers. He conducted her to some woods near tho cemetery and there committed a most horrible rape upon her person. She returned home, and with tears streaming down her cheeks informed her mother of the facts, saying she could and would identify the one that hud committed it. The next morning tiie mother with tearful eyes went to Justice N. L. Redd and sued out a warrant for Crawford’s arrest, which was immediately placed in tho hands of a bailiff’. The mother says she can fully identify him, and that when ho is arrested she wishes a phy sical! to examine tho little girl who it is said, is greatly injured. He is sup posed to lie hiding in Alabama and will bo certainly caught, when justice will be done. Tliis is an outrage on a civilized com munity and becomes tiie citizens to spare no pains in securing his capture, Crawford is described as being of dark complexion, 5A feet high and one who alternates between Browneville and Columbus.

On the night of the fifth of May last, Alfred Marshall came into Cuthbert with a few dozen eggs,of which he sold amount sufficient to buy a quart of whiskey. After imbibing freely, he came to where Mr. White was stting. White asked him what he had in his basket. Marshall told him he did have eggs, but had sold them, and stated the price. White replied that he would liave given more. Marshall replied, “You are a liar.” White said, “You must not-call me a liar." Marshall stepped back a few paces, and said, "D—n you, I will kill you,” and fired, the ball striking Mr. White in the body from which wound he died in a few minutes afterward. Marshall then threw away his pistol and ran, followed by officer Kirlcsey, who soon captured him and lodged him in the county jail. He was tried dur ing the May term of the court, snd found guilty of murder. His case was carried to the Supreme Court and the judgment of the Superior Court here affirmed; and at the November term, when tiie remitter was received, Judge Kiddoo sentenced him to hang on to day. Through the kindness of Sheriff Smith we were permitted to visit the doomed man a few hours before his execution. We Informed Alfred that he had but a few hours to live, and if he had anything to say we would be glad to record it for the Enquirer-Sun. HIS STATEMENT. He stated that on that fatal night he was intoxicated, and did not recollect seeing Mr. White; that he brought with him a pistol which would not revolve. He added : “1 do not recollect whether It was fixed or not; never had any 111 feeling against Mr. White, and liave no recollection when I shot him, and I was surprised at myself when they told me what I had done the night before. This is all I know, and I am now ready to go and meet my God I my Glorious Redeemer, I am thirty-nine years of age, and have a wife and five living children. I lost my arm during the war, and my dear master. Warn all, both white and black, that whiskey has brought me to this solemn end. Oh, my God! my God I” THE EXECUTION. About 91 o’clock, Judge Kiddoo sent an order to Sheriff' Smith, that if tiie condemned man had any statement to make, it must be done in his cell. He declined to do so, and as lie went down the stairs (the gallows was erected im mediately under the stairway) he com menced, aud did sing the old sacred song, "Just as I am, without one plea," Ac., and continued to do so until lie mounted the scaffold, when he com menced the song “Come, follow me to Jesus." During this time his wife with her five children wept and shout ed, joining him in his farewell song, witnessing ids march to the fatal instru ment of death. While Marshal E- Ridgway was adjusting the noose, A1 fred admonished all to beware of that curse of all curses "Rum," bid farewell to all and hoped that all in his hearing would meet him in heaven, that he did not fear death and was ready to go. While ho was admonishing all and in the midst of a sentence, Marshal Ridgway cut the rope and Alfred Mar shall was launched into eternity. His neck was not broken and lie died from strangulation. A most horrible scene was witnosed, when, for seven or eight minutes, he actually bteathed. Being very near, with Dr. McLester during the time, the breathing was perceptible, About three hundred negroes were present, principally women and chil dren. His body was turned over to his wife. All passed off quietly. Thanks to Sheriff Smith and Jailor Brooks for courtesies. Yours, Les. HOTEL AMMM VALB.

Neet-hldlng Seekers. ’Tis said of tiie little nocturnal pest, the bed-bug, that at "nest-hiding” he excels Beecher; as a sucker he is su perior to tiie cupping pump, while he equals Lydia Thompson at “drawing.” It is rather strange that they refuse the blood of a lady who has tiie hysterics, or who is prostrated with any chronic female complaint. Now it strikes us that all ladies, who are afflicted as above indicated, should ut once resort to the use of that wonderful female medicino known as English Female Bitters, and be cured of these female troubles, that they may furnish good wholesome blood-food to the poor starving bed bugs.
