hed in a paragraph, a week or two ago, stating that the body of an unknown man had been found in the Ogeechee river, near Millen, on the Augusta and Savannah railroad, and that, from shot wounds on his person, it was reasonably supposed that the unfortunate man had been murdered. On investigating the circumstances, it has been discovered that the body was that of a man named Wray, a tobacco dealer, who was known to some of our citizens. It is supposed that he had gone on a fishing excursion with a man from this place, and that the latter murdered him at that time. The accused has been arrested and placed in the Richmond county jail, suspicion having fastened upon him, in consequence of several articles belonging to the deceased having been found in his possession. The arrest took place on Thursday night, in this city, and subsequently a party went down to Millen, for the purpose of having the body disinterred, in order that it might be identified.--Augusta (Ga.)Const., 25th.
