Dear Sir: A most unprovoked and cold blooded assassination took place in this town late on yesterday evening T. H Bp.nninu. Esq. the Editor of the Kentucky Gazcttc, was murdered in;if own oJJice. by Charles "Wickliffe, son of Robert WicklifVc, Esq. lie was secured, and taken by the bfticcrs last night at his father's house, brought betore an examining court this day, aril held to bail in the sum ol 6,000. Mr. Benning died about f o clock this evening, having lingered in extreme agony about 24 hours, leaving a distressed and helpless famii r. The ciicumstanres which led to tht perpetration of the foul deed, as appeared in evidence, are briefly these : On Wednesday last there appeared in the
KciUucjTlCcortcr a communication over
the signature of "Corioltnus" speaking in the most extravagant terms of the virtues of
Hobcrt Vicklifte, and denouncing Mr. Ben
ning as a 11 fiend," "vile wretch," &c. fcc
It also contained vilciminuations against the
character of two gentleman, not therein named, but understood as applying to Messrs.
and . One of the individuals
alluded to, came out in answer to Coriolimm," in the last Gazette, over the signature of " Dcntatus" in which he merely requested " Coriolinus. to avow himself promising in that event to address him, (if worthy
of notice,) over his ( Dentatus")rea signa
ture. Un Monday, Mr. (Jhatles Wicklific,
demanded the author of Dcntatus." Mr.
Benning promised to comply with the de
mand at 5 o'clock, at which time WicklilTe arrived, with several pistols, and advanced to
Benning, who was behind the counter an
altercation ensued, and Benning being total
Iy unarmed, retreated to his back office, and
whilst retreating, with his back towards WicklifTc, received the ball, which tcrmina-
ted his existence,
Great excitement prevails. The Adams and Clay men openly boast of the murder while the Jackson men arc determined that the murderer shall not escape the penalties of the law.
