Mr. J. D. Creswell, of Bartow County, Ga., was brutally murdered at his farm on the night of the 27th of June, by a Swedish laborer named Conrad. There was some difficulty in regard to work done for Mr. Creswell, which resulted in the Swede unexpectedly throwing a rock and striking Mr. C. upon the head, felling him to the ground. Conrad then sprung upon the Erostrate man and plunged a knife through his eart, allowing the knife to remain in the wound, in which condition the deceased was afterwards found. The murderer made his es? cape, but was finally captured near Rome on Sunday last, and has confessed his guilt.
