We regret to state, on the authority of private letters from Montgomery, Alabama that John R. Wiggins, Esq. late of this place, was shot dead in that town, a few days since, within two hours after his arrival there—the circumstances not known. Mr. Wiggins was a young man of much promise and connexions numerous and respectable.
