Murder In Montgomery—We learn, says the Valley Whig, that a most cold-blooded murder was committed on Saturday last in Montgomery county. A man by the name of Bibb, one of the Contractors on the S. W. McAdamized Road, was killed by a man by the name of Taylor. We understand that Taylor was engaged in working for Bibb on the road, and some difficulty having occurred between them, on account of which, Bibb threatened to discharge Taylor. Some further words passed, when Taylor stabbed Bibb in the abdomen. He died in about an hour afterwards. Taylor attempted to escape but was arrested.
