From the Columbus Geo. Sentinel.
HORRIBLE MURDER.
We have been informed by some gentlemen of the first respectability, direct from Texas, that Mr. Ellin of the state of Georgia, was murdered by his companion, a Mr. James Jenkins, on the Colorado river in Austin's Colony, on the 27th of March last under circumstances of the most shocking and aggravated nature.
The deceased and his murderer Jenkins, had during the last winter left Georgia in company, with the view of visiting the Province of Texas. They had explored much of the country in company, had made some selections and purchases of land for their future residence. Ellin, the deceased, wishing to remain in Texas, gave to Jenkins a power of attorney to go on to Georgia and bring his negroes to Texas. A day or two before his (Jenkins) departure, while alone with Ellin in the woods, Jenkins murdered Ellin, took from his person between $1500 and $2000, and has in all probability forwarded forthwith to Georgia, to take possession of the said negroes under the form of the attorney, with the view of converting them into cash, and making his escape before any intelligence of his horrible crime shall reach the section or country in which the deceased resided. Said murderer, James Jenkins, is about six feet high, dark eyes and hair and between 25 and 30 years of age. The civil authorities of Texas have used every exertion for his arrest without any avail. Editors throughout the state friends of humanity, are requested to give publicity to the foregoing. Refer to James Barnett, James Collinsworth and W. H. Wharton, Texas.

Franklin, Tuesday July 7th, 1835
The cholera has at length made its appearance amongst us. The first cases occurred on Thursday, 2d instant, and the panic occasioned by its visitation, soon changed the cheerful and business-like appearance of our village, to a scene of solitude, sadness, and desolation. The prompt and efficient assistance and kind attention rendered by those of our citizens who remained with the sick, has done much towards relieving and ameliorating the fatality of this dreadful disease, & together with the skill, ability and attention of our physicians, and their unwearied exertions, both night and day, for the safety of those under their care, are deserving of the highest commendation. Full confidence may be reposed in their efficiency, whenever their assistance is obtained in time. The disease yields readily to the power of medicine, in its first stages; and we state, as a fact that may be relied on, that not one case has proved fatal, or is likely to prove fatal, where timely medical aid has been called in. We are truly gratified to say that it has now in a great measure abated; no deaths having occurred since Sunday, and all the cases in town being on the recovery.
P. S. We shall not be able to publish a paper next Friday, all our hands, with one exception, being in the country. We shall, however, issue an extra, for the purpose of keeping our readers duly apprised of the whole truth in relation to the further progress and fatality of the disease. We confidently hope and believe though, that the worst is over. Thirty seven cases have occurred, out of which fourteen have died. The following is a list of the deaths, both in town and country. —We regret that we are unable at present to furnish an obituary to the virtues and merits of our departed friends.

A mourning family and an extensive circle of sorrowing friends, are left to deplore his loss.

On the 18th inst., in Davidson County, at the residence of her brother (James Rhodes) after a severe illness of three months of consumption, Mrs. Effa Forhand, aged 45 years. She had been a member of the Methodist Church for 20 years, and departed this life in full hope of a future happiness.Communicated
In Maury county of cholera, in the 17th year of her age, Eliza M'Crady daughter of Alexander M'Crady. Although the deceased was cut off at an early age, she left many friends who knew and felt her worth, to deplore her loss. A disposition more amiable, heart more pure, and a mind more elevated, has seldom been the subject of the pale king of terrors. Indeed, if innocence and virtue ever rescued any from the grave, she had still lived, endeared to all her relations and friends. But she was cut down in a moment in the prime of youth. In the morning her heart beat high with youthful emotions, but in the evening a lifeless corpse proclaimed to all around it, the uncertainty of life, the certainty of death, and the necessity of the command "Be ye also ready."In Columbia, Ten., Ann Eliza, infant daughter of Dr. J. B. Mays. Mrs. Jane White.

In Franklin, Ten., Mr. JACOB LITTON, aged about 18 years, son of Mr. Joseph Litton merchant, Nashville. The remains of Mr. Litton wore brought to this city, and interred in the burying ground on Friday, 17th July inst. Modest and unassuming, though intelligent and promising, Mr. Jacob Litton possessed in an eminent degree the affection and esteem of those who knew him -- he had, as I believe, no enemies and many friends: --the latter mourn his loss, but find consolation in the conviction that he is an inheritor of endless happiness; and, while they feel actually the affliction which is cast upon them, they will not forget to consider that "the LORD gave and the LORD hath taken away," and with contentment and a conviction of justice, to add, "blessed be the name of the LORD."
