The Weather, —For a day or two pastthe
Weather has bvn most inclement. On the
eight of Tliursd ty aod'morningofyesterday,
the rain descended in torrents.—-The tide
f rose at the same time higher than on any
occasion since the September gale of last
year. Nearly the whole of Hutchison’s
Island opposite the city, was overflowed
and a great portion o( the lower end of it,
yet remains under water. The banks of the
island, which have been repaired since the
September gale, have been considerably in-
Wjured, and the sugar cane planted by Mr.
has also suffered. Fig Island bc
f low the city, was completely overflowed,
but as the tide recended, w.is left partly dry.
There is reason to fear that much damage has
been done on the banks of the river, of which
we are vet to hear—in which case the rice
. crop will be backward,
i About eight o’clock last evening, the
k weather cleared up with a fine N. W. wind.

Murder !—The following statement of a
most diabolical deed, is furnished us by a
very respectable gentleman, residing near
the spot where the act was committed ;
On the night of the 17th inst. a Mrs,
Stuckey of Sumter District, was inhuman
ly murdered by the servant maid. Mrs.
S. had for several days and nights been at
tending her grandmother who was extreme
ly ill ; on the evening of the 17th, she re
turned to her residence to regulate her do
mestic affairs and enjoy some relaxation.
At the proper hour, she retired to repose,
having two infants with her, leaving two
children who were in the kitchen, with the
servant. The servant in a short time left
the kitchen, entered the mansion of her mis
tress, and there perpetrated the deed by
striking Mrs. S. two or three blows on the
head, and, it is said, cut her throat, which
caused her immediate death. Mr. S. the
husband, was at the Grandmother’s of the
deceased. When the servant returned to
the kitchen, the children saw her throw an
aprtu behind the door, to which they paid
no attention, suspecting nothing. When
the children entered the house, they heard
one of the infants strangling, they* rushed
into the room, called their mother, ami hear
ng no reply, put their hands upon her to
awake her to relieve the child; but lamen
table to tell, they found the bed clothes wet ;
a fire was immediately kindled and they
beheld their beloved mother and one infant
bathed in the blood of the deceased object
of their affection and regard. They im
mediately alarmed the nearest neighbors
who repaired to the dreaded spot, and to I
their regret and astonishment, witnessed
the reality of the doleful tale. On an in
vestigation of i he matter, the children re
lated the circumstance of the apron, which
was immediately examined and found to be
covered with blood, Tne servant was ap
prehended, tried and convicted, and was to
be executed yesterday.

Horrid Murder. —-VVe are informed that
a widow woman, named Plait, living bv
Ihersell, about two miles from Ph aroe’s in
Scriven County, was murdered on the 16th
ult. in a most shocking manner. She was
discovered by a Mr. Reedy, who calling at
her house found the door shut, and in the
yard, the hogs eating from the ground what
appeared to he bl »od—the bonnet and one
'of the shoes of Mrs. Platt were also f »«nd in
a hogshead. Upon looking in at (he bark
'jdoor, the unfortunate woman was discover
ed lifeless upon the floor, with two wounds,
one on the back, the other on the front of the
iheacl, apparently inflicted with a club, which
! was also found. VVe are further informed,-
that suspicion attach to a man named
I Rushing, who had stolen from her a fifty
* <dollar note, which she identified and recov
* ered, when he uttered some threats against
1 her life. Rushing was immediately sought
’ ,for, and discovered under his bed. He was
* jarrested and is now in Jacksonboruugh Jail,
’ iand will probably be tried in April. Mrs.
* I Platt, is stated tube from the north and has a
* daughter living in N. York. Such is the
' relation given tons.— Sav. Georgian.
