Murder.

--Mr. Terisha W. Dillard, of Amherst co., Va., was brutally murdered by some of his servants on Saturday last. He was superintending some work which he was having done on an island in James river, near his residence, in which six hands were employed--four women and two men — when the murder was executed. He was caught and held by the men, and the women inflicted the fatal blows. His body was horribly cut and mangled, presenting a shocking spectacle of mutilation.--After the deed had been performed, the remains were covered up in sand, but soon two of the women made confession of the crime, and, with the two men, were arrested. The others are yet at large.
