\V r o have been furnished by our esteemed
I 'jffircsentative, Col. A. H. Chappell, witli tlic
following particulars of the murder of our fel-
iott-citif.-n, Paul Roux, and of the arrest of the
Murderer.
Washington Cjtr, Jan. 15th, ’Ll
Yesterday morning the Coroner of llalti-
pjore enquir' d of me, through the Telegraph,
whether I knew a person tvlio had been found
murdered in that city by the, name of Paul
iloux, supposed to be from Macon, Georgia;
Opposed, also, to bo a hardware dealer. I ic-
nlicd by Telegraph that I knew a citizen of
.Macon, by the name of Roux, a guh-smith by
trade, but" that I did not remember his Chris
tian name. The Telegraph instantly re
turned an nnswor that the murdered matt was
no doubt the same person ; that from articles
found in his trunk it was probable lie was a
gunsmith. I then asked when lie reached Bal
timore ; from what quarter he came ; whether
'direct from the South 1 To this it was answer
ed that ho reached Ealtimnre at 11 o’clock
Sunday n : glif in the cars from Philadelphia.
1 then asked to be inf >rmod of some particu-
JafS of the murder. In reply to which I recei
ved the information contained in the enclosed
Telegraphic despatch. I send you, also, here
with,"ho Baltimore Patriot of last night, contain
ing the full details of the horrid case. The
most active endeavors, you will see, arc ma
king to apprehend the murderer and bring him
to justice.
I entertain not a doubt that the vic
tim of this fell crime was our townsman.
The House is still engaged in committee of
the wlio'cin the debate on the Texas question.
It is probable that the vote will he taken on Sat
urday. Considerable diversity of opinion pre
vails os ,0 «bat w '** kc the result. I incline
strongly to the hope t,,at lt wi]1 be a favorable
one. Inm not, however, without fear that it
may fail in consequence of the division of opin
ion among the numerous plans that have been
submitted, 1 am. very respectfully.
Your obedient serv’t,
A V H. CHAPPELL.
To the Editor of the Telegraph.
The written words which you will sec on the
mrlofd Telegraphic despatch are the superin
tendent’s translation into English of the Tele
graphic characters. The scratches you see on
the paper are those characters in other words;
they arc letters of the Telegraphic Alphabet, of
which I enclose you printed copies.

Ilrro follow’s an account of the murder ns
given by the Baltimore Patriot:
FOUL AND DELIBERATE MURDER.
One of the most shocking and bloody mur
ders, perhaps ever perpetrat'd within our city
was brought to light last night t oroner
Breenfield was called upon about 11 o’clock in
the niglu to hold an i’ quest over tin; body of a
young man, pp-bubly 25 years of age, found
dead in his bed it: the house of Thomas No
land, keeper of a small tavern in South Charles
Mrrct, oppos-to the Rail Road Depot. The
name of the murdered man, as appears from
1-ttcrs and papers found in his trunk, and from
the trunk itself, which bears the name on a
brass plate, is Paul Roux, a member as was
shown by a certificate found, of the Odd Fel
low’s L'»dgc in Macon, Gcorgin. He also be-
l"ngcd to the Ocmulgce Encampment, No. 2,
tt Macon.
Itapjiears that he arrived in Baltimore from
Plqla lelpliin, by the caps on Sunday night
about 11 o’clock, and through solicit; tion of
the landlord, (Nolan.) took lodgings at his
house. It further app- ars upon a reitivcstiga-
tipn this morning, before Justice P. nnfdgton,
torn fief Greenfield, and Mr. Pinkney, coun
sel for tlffe State, upon the evidence of Mr. No
lan, that himself and a young man named Hen-
fy McCurry, a hoarder in the house, carried
(he trunk of the deceased to his (Nolun’s) house
from the Depot. After entering the bar room
McCurry and the stranger sat down by the
stove to warm themselves, and between 11 and
12 o'clock retired to bed in a room in the third
story, where there were two beds. The morn
ing came when McCurry arose and came down
*s usual to tftc6kf.ist, excepting thut he locked
the rooniantf kop v thc key in h:s pocket.
About eight o’clock, a woman named Leon-
ard, who, with her husband were boarders in
tho hou>c, wont up to make the bed, when she
found the door locked. Nothing further was
said of the matter until about half past eight
o’clock last night, when tli landlord proceeded
to the room to prepare it for another lodger.—
lie found the door still locked. A duplicate
key, kept by his wife, was obtained, when the
tloor was opened, and on entering, the bidy of
Mr. Roux was found in the bed, with his throat
cut from ear to cur, and the skull of the right
temple completely battered in With the back of
uh axe, subsequently found under the bed,’ leav
ing the brains scattered over the pillow and the
led saturated with blood.
McCurry; au Irishman, who' had been a
Mkrderkttbe house about five weeks, and room
toate of the murdefed irian, cohtiuued at the
fo’ern until eight o’clock last evening, when he
Mi in tho cuYs for Philadelphia. It was not
until about a half hour after his departure that
tbeinurdcrod man was discovered The trunk
Mthe deceased had been left in the bar ronm
below, and on opening it, the key of the room
fo which the murder had been perpena’dd was
found at the bottom of a small leather pocket ut-
Isdicd to'llielid, whilst the key of the trunk
*s's found in a trunk belonging to McCurry,
tfoposited hi a private robin of the landlord, the
~^ or tb which was locked.' It appears that
McCurry had been permitted 10 attend the bar
*** "'as acquainted with the house. The axe
found under the bed hnd been in tl;6 cellar. It
"as very dull and could not have been used in
cutting tho throat, though no sharper instru.
"font was found.
. Several witnesses Were exnni’r this morn-
in (h whose testimony went to s'! uw almost be-
>onda doubt, that the terrible deed had been
’[fftiaird bv McCiirry; who is supposed lo
hnvc fled towards Philadelphia. The body of
the deceased was taken care of by the Odd
Fellows’Society, by tlmm it is to be in'ered
The deceased appeared to be a!>out 25 years
of ogo, had several fine suits of clothing in his
trunk, and p ipers showing that ho was n hard
ware merchant, or dealer in guns, pistols, &c.
in Macon. Some persons from ihnt place were
sent for } blit they Could riot rccogmze him.
Nolan, the landlord, and Leonard, the bond
er, were held to bail in the sum of §2000 each,
to appear before the Grand Jury as witnesses.
Whether tfiey obtained the security or not, we
are unable to say. Thus fir there appears lo
be much mystery about the affair. Officers
were despatched this morning to Philadelphia
to arrest the supposed murderer. The house
was searched, but nothing found to implicate
the inmates.
There is no doubt that the deceased was
robbed, as no money was found in hi# trunk or
in the room. A black silk handkerchief was
found under the pillow, in which it is supposed
money may have been placed. He had bills
and receipts showing purchases made in New
York to the amount nf about $2000. McCur
ry paid the landlord’s bill in gold previous to
Ins departure. The deceased was on his way
South, and purposed leaving yesterday, by the
way of Norfolk’.
The following bulletin announces the arrest
of the murderer:
Telegraph Office. Jan. 17, 1845. )
A of 3 o’clock, P. M J
Rid'clv, of the firm of Hays! Steel & Ridge-
ley, lias just arrived from N. I’., where he ar
rested the murderer of Mr. Roux, in whose
possession he found the watch and clothing of
the deceased. He had taken passage for Eng
land, and was to start yesterday at 12 o’clock.
He was arrested two hours before the ship sail
ed, and tried to cut his th-ont last night on the
strength of it. Ri-quisiti >n has been got from
the Governor of Maryland.

In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Benton p.-esented
the resolutions of the Legislature of Missouri,
instructing the Senators from that Siutc to use
their best exertion in behalf of the annexation
of Texas to the United States. Mr. Benton
made some remarks concurring in these reso
lutions—that the reannexa'ion of Texas is a
great national ni’-asuie, and that the safety and
interests of both Governments require and de
mand i. at the earliest practicab'e period. He
said he had been of that opinion ever since the
country was given away in 1819. He read
copi-ius extracts from his speech in 1836, tra- j
cing the causes of the Texas revolution ; and |
showed the parallel furnished between his i
speech at that time and the resolutions nowpre- j
sented, maintaining the justice of that revolt!,
tion. lie commended the spirit of compromise
exh'bited by the resolutions of his legislature.
He looked upon it as a great national measure,
which s'.ould never he degraded into any thing
sectional or partisan. Mr. Atchison followed
in some few remarks, acknowledging, to the
fullest extent, the right of instruction. He de
clared himself willing to go farther even than
the resolutions of instruction demanded for the
acquisition of Texas. He concurred fully with
them in the opinion that there was no power on
earth to consult in the adjustment of this mea
sure but Texas nml the United States; and ex-
tho increase and diffusion of knowledge among
men. The bill fur the Settlement of tin* Du
buque claim was then discussed at gn at length,
and laid upon the table for the present. The
Senate spent the remainder of the day in execu
tive session'.
In the House, Mr. R. Smith, of Illinois, in
pursuance of notice given, obtained leave; and
introduced a bill granting certain alternate
sections of land to the Slate of Illinois, to aid
in the construction of the Alton and Mount
Carmel, and Alton and Shawnee town railroad;
which was read twice, and referred to the Coni- \
mitten on Public Lands. On motion of Mr. !
C. Johnson, the House then resolved itself into
Committee of the Whole on the state of the U r
nion,and resumed the considerations of the joint
resolutions for the reannexation of Texas.-—
Messrs. Harralson, Uamlin Iii <jnd Ficklin, ad
dressed the committee in favour- of the meas
ure, and Messrs. Collamar and Seymour of
New York spoke in opposition to it. Mr.
Dromgoole obtained the floor, and the com
mittee rose and reported progress. The House
then adjourned.

Mr. Editor: Our city has never been re
markable, either at borne or abroad, on the
score of health; and it seems our worthy board
of Aldermen are disposed to make it still more
subject to criticism on Hu's herd. ns I see they
have advertised, for a i ease-of years, the I. rick-
yard locati d almost in the heart of our ciiy.-^-
In all well-regulated communities the business
of brick making, slaughtering of animals, top*
ncries, &c. has always been looked upon in the
light of’a nuisance, and is very wisely confined
to the outskirts of the city—and in fact in the
charter of our city they am so expressly termed
I presume, however, this matter was gotten up
expressly for sit me particular persons' benefit
(in defiance of the advice of our most di>tin
guished physicians) and we must not complain
We shall next have a butcher pen on the Burn^
district, or in the Court house square.

COTTON.
Mr. S. II. Fay called our attention a few
days ago to a number of bales of cotton, about
fifty we believe, which he purchased front Mr.
Dinkins.'of Houston County, at S% cents pound.'
The cotton was raised from the common Pet
tit Gulf seed, on lund which docs not exceed
in richness the general lands of Houston, but
by great cafe and attention Exercised in pack
ing and ginning, Mr. Dinkins received one
cent higher per*pound for his crop,'than the
best quality of other cottons received at this
market would command.'
Th s is un example worthy of b- ing follow
ed. Quariiiiy lias always been the great object
with our Planters and quality altogether a'se
condary matter.' Would it not be far better to
plant le?s Cotton and pay more care and at-
pressed bis admiration of the spirit of compro
mise which was evident iji tlic rcsoluitons.—
The resoluiions were tjrdered to be printed,
nnd referred to the Committee ori Foraign Re
