that Nellie was running for life with

DAWSON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY. MAY 31 1877.
On Monday afternoon the friends
and neighbors nssen.b'ed to see her
die. About 2 o’clock she sank away,
growing weaker and weaker till about
three Het exiremities heca* e very
cold and hey, though her gently and
happily passing “over the river.” All
at once a change passed over her fsa
turee, a sweet smile illuminating 1 er
countenance, and tile most ti*en-e,
delight seemed portrayed anil linget

Words tail me to exptess tbe happi

passing o\ei her quiet (ace. a I telling
of something bright and heautilul

AJI a' once to the astonishment of ail,
she taised her little hands in the atti
tude of listening inten'lv, changing
her positi uj coutti ual y and seeming
to listi-n wi*h all the power of her
tiling. She cout.uue<t in this state for
nearly three boms, seeming perfectly
unconscius of all surrounding objects

Thnlittle Mulgati in townofTtsturkai,
situated across the Dtatibe from Ore
nitra, p*tssea*eil many Christian in
habitants, in numbers lar fewer than
the Tuiks. On the night nf the 10th
the Tutkish citixens of the town join
ed with troops in the fortress, from
which the village take* its name, ami
began an onslaught upon the Chris
tians. The carnage began in all perts
of tlie town at once. The doors of
those who attempted to defend their
homes were broken in,aud the massa
cres and outrages were perpetrated
within the dwellings. Id uiany- in
stances, however, the attacking patties
encountered the tamilies seated tngeth
ei in front of their houses. The meth
od ill such cas s generally was to ei
ther sabot or shoot the father ami ol
der sons, to break the skulls of the
old women, and then to s-izean l out
rage the younger women. In very
maDy cases the outiuges were perpe
tia ed by t.eighhjrs ami citizens of
the town well known to the poor mis
erable victims. Nohotly was spared
who was (.apturjd. Scenes of fright
ful atrocity occurred. Tlie cries of the
fleeing women and children weie
hoard at the outposts of the Rouman
ian troops encamped below Oltenitza,
and a small party under cover of
the daiknees ventured across the riv
er. They brought twe Bulgarian
men hack with them. One of the
fugitive was quite an old m tn, and
was for a long time unable to speak
from grief and wild terror. When,
on Thurs*lay he was comiinxed suffi
ciently to t Ik with tlie R umaiiian
officers, he de-cibed the killing of his
wife and eldest son in tiis sight, nod
tlie carrying off of his daughter. Tie
only pretext seems to have been the ■
ineffectual ’tomba-dment of Oltenitza \
from the old fortress of Turtukai and I
from the now water batteries which
have been erec ed n'ong the river
hank. No damage was done Fry

of the cabin, und near by, in a hook,

sion of the murder of John Murphy
sii years since. They were .both feed- 1

Murphy had insulted and struck him,!
and being th* weaker man, Single'on !

return to the scene nf his crime once

compelled, and Singleton's minute and

clude; “As soon as I finish writing I
