correspondent of the Picayune, writing from
Jackson, La, relates the following sad occurrences


close my letter with a most melancholy
occurrence. 1t is now eight o'clock r. NJ, and |
have just come from looking the Iifeless corpse
of William E. Walker, of Richmond, Madison
Parish. Half an hour since, and he walked n the
vigor and health Of youth! Now he is as inert as
the clod Of the valley. lie was killed by a young
gentleman named Thomas R. Scott, from the same
parish, who is member elect to the Conye ption.


1t is not vet an hour since passed Mr.. Scott in the
street, with young and beautiful wife resting on
his arm. How startling! that in so brief time an
event in his life, of such mighty moment, should
have occurred, without forethought or without an
tcipation. But so il is: from the SUNNI, of ioy
and hope to the abyss of misery or despair, the
transition often occupies bu. moment 1t would
be premature now to 60 into the cause of this
unfortunate affair. Mr., Scott, learn, has given
himself up to the authorities, and shall apprise
you of the result of what may transpire in what
ever Investigation may take place. d. C.
