SOUTHERN.

The Hon. Robert Malloiy, member of Congress from Kentucky during the war, died last week at his farm near LaGrange, Ky. Henry Freese was hanged for murder, at Catlettsburg, Kentucky, dying with the declaration that he was going to glory. At Laredo, Texas, two Mexican murderers were executed. “Buck” Anderson, a Cherokee desperado, was shot and killed near Fort Smith, Arkansas, by a Deputy United States Marshal, while resisting arrest for smuggling whisky into Indian Territory. Ann Hogan, colored, age 120 years, died near Vicksburg, Miss., last week. At Graham, Ga., the house of Simon Ashley, colored, was burned, and the dead bodies of his four children found in the ruins. It is thought they were murdered, and the building fired to destroy evidence of the crime.

Waldo P. Johnson, a prominent lawyer of Missouri, died at Osceola, in that State. He represented Missouri in the United States Senate at the outbreak of the war, and was expelled for disloyalty. He was afterward a member of the Confederate Senate.
