the following account of a horrible tragedy which took place in the neighborhood of the camp on Wednesday of last week: It seems that there was some dispute between two neighboring families about a tract of land. On the day mentioned, as Mr. McNull, the murdered man, was plowing in his field, he was met by a Mr. Wilson, his wife, (Wilson's,) with their two sons and daughters. Wilson began abusing McNull, the whole family threatening him with annihilation, and finally told McNull that if e into Camp Blair for assistance from the troops to arrest the murderers. Captain McFall at once started for the scene of the tragedy with twenty men, but on his arriving at the spot found that the civil authorities had arrested the murderers. They were all captured and securely confined. The people about the country were intensely excited, and threatened to lynch the whole Wilson family; but sober judgment prevailed, and the law will take its course. Mr. McNull was buried on the next day.
