Murder of an enrolling officer in Tennessee.

--Col. James K. McAnally, enrolling officer for the Mayes' Mill District, in Grainger county, Tenn., was waylaid and shot dead from his horse on the night of the 1st inst. The place selected was a lonely nook in the forest, by which the deceased was in the habit of passing late in the evening. The murderer prepared a rest for his gun, opened a vista through the bushes to the road so that his fire would not be obstructed, and when the unconscious victim of his malice appeared, about dark, from a double barrel shot gun discharged one musket ball and thirty-nine buck shot into his body, killing him instantly.
