AVJfiRITT, The recent incendiary attempt to set fire to our city together with the fire in Moutgom ry, (Ala) and the number of thieving operators who have been detected aboi t Columbus, lead ns to the lielteve that there is an organized gang of robbers in number and power to do mis hies, equalled on ly iiv the famous Muriel gang. Indeed, the de tection ol that infamous leader, we fear, has only occasioned a temporary disparagement of tueu plans. That secret clan is in existence, bent u.ion the most horrid mischief, and reckless of all consequences of their daring villanv, cannot be doubted. It behooves every good citizen then, to keep vigilan. eyes upon these vagabond loafers anti birds of passage, which are so numerous in the country. An almost simultaneous movement has beeu made in Augusta, Savannah, Colmnbus Afontgomciy, and this place, how far else it may extend is unknown at present, and with what suc cess. The particulars of tho fire iu Montgomery so far as Itass been ascertained, will be found in this day’s paper. The volunteer corps in ,this place have made every necessary preparation to meet an em r -ency. Vigilauce is the word ior ev ery good citizen .—.'yjuihcrn Post. Trial of Bmja nin Alexander for Murder. — On Saturday last the above trial came on m the Circuit Court of this county before his Honor Judg Picket) :. The peculiar circuiinrmses of the case rendered it a spectacle of intensely pain ful interest. The prisoueris a poor, feeble, worn out old man, nearly one. hundred years oj who was indicted for the murder of his grand son, a young man aged about nineteen years. The only witness on the part of the state was the mother of the deceased, who wasan own daughter of the a god prisoner. She gave her evidence with aston ishing firmness, ‘lt was,’ she said, ’her own dear father who had killed her own beloved child.’ The scene was truly solemn and affecting. Her peculiarly painful situation, excited tho deepest sympathy in the bosoms of all present. But sho told,the dreadful talc that'her father had been ‘drink ing’—that he was lying on L a bed asleep—that the young man came in and tr.a l* considerable noise—that the old man sprang from his bed— drew his knife, from his picket—tn.l stabbed her son to the heart !—All this she related with a calptness truly astonishing. Whilst she was giv ing her testimony, the miserable old man, whose head was whitened with the frost of ninety-five winters, sat before her a wreck of life, whilst tears ran in profusion down the deeply furrowed cheeks. Evidence was adduced, which showed that the old man had been a poor but honest, hard-work ing man through liis long life—that he served his country in the war of the revolution.—that he w ta with Gen. Marion in the celebrated conflict wi'Lt the British and tories iu South Caroliua—tod tiiat he was now iuhis dotage, and a! times, espe cially after using spiritous liquors, perfectly in sane. After the case had been argued, and the Court given its charge, the Jury retired; and ulieru iiout two hours brought in j verdict jfinauslaugh ter, and the Court then sentenc**.J ■he uriso Dt* to twenty days imprisonment. We heard nothing but the evidence in the case, but we learn that the utmost possible ckmeuov of the luv was extm. 1 i to the prisoner on account ofhis c . rena - obi !•„.•. I! is evident that when the fat ii iced tvai con rnitted, the old man knew not what he was doin '. We know the prisoner, and we satisfied that liis mind is a perfect wreck, and we co-il l not think that the stern demands of justice required the infliction of any punish:n :fi on this wretched old rtm, ' • WANTED VT this office, an active, industrious and intel ligent lad as an apprentice to the Printing Business.

It ha-- been slated, and repeated, (and that by nitjri of some considerable reop«*ctahiiily,) that Mr. Shipp has ceen detached from the iuMitutiod, or lias not been employed tie- present year, because lie was a Union imq>; ami that Miss Douglass, also, has not been retained itecaose site was originally re commended by Union influence. Now v»-e give this charge n most flat and unconditional denial, and we invite the proof—we defy any mao or 6et of men to exhibit any testimony or evidence, de rived from any act or deed of the board to war rant this assertion. ft The reasons, nod the alone reasons why they were not retained, w ere, that the, income of the institution did not warrant giving the salary they demanded—party views have nothing lo do with either of the measures.
