The particulars as we have learned them are as follows: Mr. WIDEMAN had started to one of his plantations just after dark, some mile or two from his residence; when about half a mile from home, he was set upon, and beaten to death. His body was found a considerable distance from where he was murdered. The perpetrators endeavored to make it appear that he had been thrown from his horse and killed, as he was dragged to the place where he was found and placed in a position to induce that belief. Suspicion rests upon four of his negroes who have been arrested and brought to jail. -------------- MARRIAGES Married on Thursday the 2nd inst. at Due West by Rev. John Williams, Mr. Jas. G.
