We (G-. K. Argus) have received, information which leads "us to' the" belief that another foul murder- has; been committed on this coast. A party of men, while working at the new rush at Fox's River, were informed "by a digger that while passing, along the : beach he saw ,the body of a man cast up by the surf. With praiseworthy,- alacrity the nieu at once proceeded to the spot indicated, and there found the remains of the deceased. The trunk of the', body alone was left, the legs and the- lop. of the head -were gone, and the features completely obliterated; The lower part of the arms were perfect, but the upper- part -appeared tbhave been eaten by fishes. On turning over the body, they observed a deep incised- wound-about-two -inches : long in the ; rigM breast of the- 'deceased, . which presented all the appearance of having , been done by a sheath-knife.
