1 he Washington correspondent of the N. Y. TiVnw
toys tn that paper to-day:
1 The .Spanish frnnboats complication will soon as
Mime a new phase, which will hrlng tlie matter to a
point where Its llnal and speedy disposition will be
apparent. As has been stated heretofore tn this cor
respondence, the detention of the gunboats to the
present moment has been on an executive order of
the Navy Department, which has kept an armed sur
veillance over them. Without taking actual posses
sion, this action has been based on the complaint of
the Peruvian Minister, Colonel Freyre, who alleges
that the gunboats will release other Spanish vessels
now on guard on the coast of Cuba, and which will
thns be enabled to proceed against l'ern. This
technical custody was sufficient so long as the boats
werennilnished, but eleven of them are now ready
to be turned over to the Spunlsh authorities. The
demand of the Spanish Minister for their release
is dolly expected, and the case will then, without
doubt, be taken Into the courts for regular pro
ceedings under the Neutrality act. Peru will
then have an opportunity to make her complaint
good. If she falls to do so the release of the
vessels will probably follow. The Cuban question
cannot affect It one way or the other, for Cuba hav
Ina no status. Is not known in the matter. This, I
believe, 1b the determination of the Government, and
there seems to be no other mode of procedure. To
be detained on legal pounds the vessels must be
lawfully conacmneu in regular cuuibc ui proceeu
tngB nnder the Neutrality act; and, however the re
sult may affect the Cuban cause, the country may
look to see nothing done that does not comport
Mrfctly with the law. Judge Plerrepont, District
' Attorney, has been here, and if some of the people
i who are anxlons to know what his business was
' will now watch the gunboats they will probably
flnd out
I The Timet further says:
I ' To-day the civil oiTloers of the National Govern
ment will take sudden and summary possession of
the thirty newly-built Hpaulsh gunboats which have
10 long been a terror perspectively to patriotic
Cubans. The vessels will be libelled In accordance
with telegraphic instructions received by United
States District Attorney Edwards. Pierrepont, yestcr
Vlay, from Washington, which are very terse and
bxp.lclt. Early this morning writs of at
tachment will ne properly made out against
Vach of he gunboats separately and collec
tively, which will subsequently be placed In the
Hands of Marshal B. R. Harlow for execution. Pro-
I-rlLbfy fcefore J2 o'clock to-day the entire flotilla will
be in charge of Deputy Marshals, to whose enstndy
It will be transferred by the Brooklyn Navy Yard
authorities, wno nave maintained a ciose surveil
lance over them during me past iew weeks. 11 is
understood that this action on the part of the Gov
ernment, although now made public for the first
Ume, has long had the serious consideration of the
(Cabinet. It was doubtless hastened by the fact that
'early all of the gunboats were ready for sea, and
t the Spanish Minister, Senor Roberts, recently
Jte a demand for their release. In order to enable
em to start on tlAlr warlike mission,
on Satarday last Judge Plerrepont visited Wash
'gton for the purpose of consulting the President
il regard to certain public matters connected with
flsonlce, among which was the Spanish fleet After
lis return to this city the District Attorney received
.notice from the gunboat contractors to the effect
I at the thirty vessels would all be In seagoing con
dition within a few days, the substance of which he
communicated by telegraph to President Grant and
Secretary Fish. To this ne received a reply direct-
. ing mm 10 nuei me noats, anu 10 suiunit mem to
' the United States Circuit Court to decide the ques
tion whether they were designed with a view
to making war on a nation at peace with this
country.
It will doubtless be remembered that publto atten
tion was llrst called to the boats by the Peruvian
Minister, Colonel Frere, who made a complaint
-against them In June last, claiming that they were
Intended for warlike use ugaiUHt the republic of
which he Is a representative. The Imme
diate result of the complaint was to order
Admiral Uodon to detail United States vessels
and men to watch the suspected vessels,
and to prevent them from taking a surreptitious de
parture from inis port acverai 01 mo crau were on
.ne stocks at mo ume, out hb last as tuey were
lnished thev were conveyed from the various ship
yards, where they were being built, to theDeliimater

The seizure ot the boats will be sorely felt by
fain, particularly as it comes Just on the eve of

A king without a kingdom la said to be poorer than

nor, with a full complement of officials and lneaials,
from Attorney-General down to cooks and scullions,
without one poor foot of territory, is a spectacle suf
ficiently sad to move the hardest heart
I am informed that Mr. McDougall intends t send
the ladles and children of the parly back to Canada,
while he will remain near the much coveted territory
and await the tumof events.
It has been intimated that the Governor has scv
rured (be services of four citlzena of the United
States to carry a message to the Canadian Govern
ment, across the country, via Hnperior. lie will call
upon the home Government for troops and muni
tions of war to enable him to enter and govern his
territory. The Canadian (lovsrnmcnt will, it Is
aid, apply to the Government at WasVngton for a
permit to move troops, etc., throngh UtAted States
territory, Inasmuch as this is absolutely the only
route by which they can reach the Ked river. But
as these troops are to be nsed against British suli
Jccts now In arms against Canadian rule, It is not at
all probable that our Government will be so ex
tremely obliging to our very dear friends during our
latp troubles.
The only paper published tn the Hod river settle
ments is in the interest of the Canadian Govern
ment, and for some months past has been misrepre
senting the actual condition of airalrs in tho terri
toryrepresenting thlB rising of the people as the
act of a few ignorant half-breeds when, in fact, it is
well known here that tho lied river people, of all
nationalities, are united almost to a man. 1 rue, as
yet, only some 600 men are In arms, but those who
remain neutral cannot be Induced to take up arms
on the Canadian side, and should coercion be at
tempted the rising will be general, and the Indians
are ready to make common cause with tho people.
All Is orderly and quiet In the settlements and the
rights of persons and property respected. The troops
are well Rnpplled by voluntary donations from the
people remaining at home. ...,

The' Insurrection is In full blast A provisional
government has been formed, with John Bruce at
the head as President, and Louis Hiell Commander-in-chief
of the force. Governor McDougall passed
through here last Saturday evening. Whilo here
he was waited upon by a deputation, who pre
sented him a communication from the "National
Committee," warning him to return. The Governor
and party proceeded to the Hudson Buy Company's
fort or trading post, about two miles north of hero,
and put up for the night Sunday morning he sent
forward Captains Cameron and rrovencher to re
connoitre and ascertain the exact position of atfalrs.
They proceeded unmolested as far as Stinking river,
the headquarters of the Insurrectionary forces,
when they were stopped and conducted back over
the lino under guard, and the same pnrty then
waited unon Governor McDougall and his party.
and ordered them to return over the Hue, and gave
them till 9 o'clock this morning to move. Twenty
mounted men, fully armed, camped on the ground,
waiting to enforce their order this morning if not
compiled with by the Governor. This morning,
however, the Governor and suite returned to this
side of the line. I am happy to say, however, that
the whole affair was conducted in a mast courteous
manner; not an Insult given, and no unnecessary
exultations or demonstrations on either side, ilow
the ailair will terminate is difficult to tell.
The Insurgents seem to be determined. I am in
formed by captain Donaldson and Mr. Moorehead,
who have Just come through from Fort (Jerry, that
there are between four hundred and live hundred
men tinder arms and encamped at Stinking river.
Scouts are all over the country, and all thorough

was in the enjoyment of profound peace. Property
Is respected, and nobody Interfered with who minds
his own business. These are true, unvarnished facts.

contemplates sending the ladles back to St Paul
to-morrow morning. He will then, most likely,
await further developments before deciding upon
bis course.
IMrORTAST DECISION,
The Question of the Title to Succession.
An Important decision hus recently been mado by
the Supreme Court through Judge Agnew, on an
appeal irom me urpnans' court 01 rmiaueipma.
Joseph M. Davis claims a conveyance to certain
real estate on the ground that he is the owner, by
succession to nm wne, or tne iunu invested in its
purchase. The fact of a purchase does not change
the nature of the investment, that is fixed by the
law itself authorizing the Investment The question
before us Is upon the title to the succession, not the
nature of the subject of investment This must
depend on the law. The Act of 1832 bail provided
for investments in certain stocks and in "real secu
rities." The Act of mil April, ISM, enlarged tho
subjects of investment by extending them to ground
rents and other real estate. It provides as follows:
"It shall be lawful for any trustee, committee, or
guardian, to invest money in ground rents or other
real estate, ny leave 01 tue proper court, under pro
ceedings us provided in the act to which this is a
supplement" So far the law autlioii.es the pur
chase of real estate, and protects the guardian.
Woodward's Appeal, '2 Wr. 1W2. Then, to protect
the ward, It proceeds: "Provided, that it shall be
the opinion of the Court that such Investment will
be for the advantage of the estate; and no change
be made in the course of succession by such changes
of Investment as regards the heirs or next of kin of
the cestui que trust." Thus the ownership of the
fund Is protected and Its succession regulated, not
withstanding the subject of investment be real
estute.
The whole transaction as proved is, that a marriage
was in contemplation, that the parties, Mrs. Wood
ward, her daughter, and Mr, Davis, made an
arrangement for the purchase of the house, and ap
plied to the witness, the executor of Mr. Kitchen,
from whose estate the funds were to come, for tho
money to pay for the house, and that Mrs. Wood
ward went Into the Orphans' Court and obtained on
authority to make the investment Now what did
this settle? A marriage settlement must settle
something In some way. But what did this settle?
Was there a settlement by Mr. Davis of the property
on Miss Kitchen, to herself and her heirs, or was It a
settlement by Miss Kitchen on herself, and with his
ronsent? There is not a word of truth on this point
There Is evidence of tho purchase of
the property by commou consent, and,
no doubt, for the purpose ol pro
viding a home for the young couple when they
Should be married, but what evidence is then; of it
conversion of the fund from personalty into realty,
and of an agreement to discharge the guardian rroin
liability under the decree of the Urphana' Coart?
Clearly, there is not a particle. To bind Davis, by a
settltineut of tho property as a realty on his wife,
clearly his assent must have .been given to a change
in the succession by the conversion of the fund to his
prejudice. The parol evidence shows no such agree
ment, and still less does the deed; that exhibits uo
trust whatever for Miss Kitchen. The deed Is made
to Mrs. Woodward herself, and discloses uo trust. If
it were not for her description as guardian, the
deed would not even indicate the source
Irom which thu purchase money came. But
If there were any evidence of Davis' consent
to tho conversion of the sum paid on the property
by Mrs. Woodward, there Is positively no proof what
ever that he consented that tho mortgage charged
on tho property should not be paid out of the per
sonal estate aucr it nan uctuuuy vested in mm.
Woodward's Appeal, ii Wright, decides that this
nionev was rightfully taken irom the estate to pro
tect the guardian against tho mortgage. That could
be justiilcd only on the ground that she hud right
fully invested the former money in tho purchase.
As an Investment this does no harm, and changes
no one's rights. Davis, being entitled to the money,
has only to follow it into the property. But if he
cannot follow it into the property because of a con
version of the fund and a change in the succession.
It can only bo on the ground that lie has consented
to the conversion andto change the right of succes
sion into inheritance by descent, and of this there is
no v idcuce whatever.-

The Woiiiiiu who Cut Her Throat and was
Jioxed l' and eent Home.
In Washington correspondence and also in some
of our contemporaries a story has been published to
the effect that a young lady In September lust com
mitted suicide. A person "lit high position" after
her death went to the house where she died, and by
a large bribe succeeded. 'i keeping the affair secret
and employed an undeiSlker who placed the remains
in the coilln and shipped them by railroad to her
former home In the West. This story occasioned,
when published, much surprise thut such a case
could navo occurred and have been successfully
hushed up, or that indeed corpse could be re
moved from the locality pointed to without ex
citing suspicion and Inquiry. The statement
in one paper intimated that the Coroner was cogni
zant of the facts, but had also been bribed, a state
ment which none who know him would believe for
an Instant, yet, nevertheless, one calculated to do
Injustice to blm with those by whom he Is not so
well known. It Is but Justice to that officer to say
that had ho received any Intimation of a case of
that or auv other kind, requiring his attention, an
Investigation and a thorough one would have fol
lowed. However, when this story was published, he
Immediately set to work to ascertain the truth or
falsity of the statement, and consulting with Major
Richards, they determined to work up tho case, and
accordingly Muior Richards and Borne of hlg
officers set about It Tho officers and the
Coroner, we learn, have satisfied themselves
that there Is no truth whatever In the story ; that
about the time named (the day of General Rawlins'
funeral, Septenilier ). uo corpse was tukon on any
ol the railroad trains leaving this city, nor, ln4ood,
dnrlng the month without the exhibition of a cerJ
flcate from a physiciau ; that those which were
hipped were of persons well known, whose death!
were regularly certified to, and that, In fact, the
whole story 1b without foundation.
In investigating the matter they find reason to be
lleve that the Btory was put afloat with the object of
damaging the character of the head of a bureau of
the Interior Department They will probably be able
to make some Important developments in regard to
the authorship of the canard, Has hiiujton Star, lout

"A HAT I OH Ah DEBT A NATIONAL
DLEfiSUfa."
From the Chicago Advocate.
The following statement, by a friend of fair-play
who Ib perfectly conversant with the matter of
which bo writes, is a contribution to the financial
history of our war-period which deserves to be put
on record:
To the Commercial Editor of the Advance:
I notice that the recent publication in your columns
of a letter from Mr. Jay Cooke, approving your pro
posed plan fyr the resuming of specie payments, has
revived the very silly custom on the part of a portion
of the press ol attributing to that, gentleman the bald,
unqualified declaration that "a national debt Is a
national blessing." Mr. Cooke never made such a
declaration, and the eminent service he rendered our
country at a time when financial ability, energy, and
foresight were quite as essential to tho nation's pre
servation as good generalship, entitles him at least
to Immunity from persistent misrepresentation at the
hands ol reputable lournals.
During the four years of the war Mr. Cooke, as
fiscal agent of the Government, negotiated tho fol
lowing loans:
First twenty-five loan fl9,non,ono
Seven-thirty loan 8:10,000,000
Other loans 800,000,000
Total $1,843,000,000
The Government had failed utterly to popularize its
own loans, its treasury was empty, and Mr. Cooke
entered upon his great task at tho request of the ad
ministration and not at his own solicitation. The
compensation ho received was not one-fourth as
much as European governments pay their financial
agents for similar services with loss risk. Mr. Cooke's
principal reward came in the shape of that financial
prestige and reputation, both here and in Europe,
which have placed his firm at the head of the moneyed
interest on this continent and poured Into his New
York, Philadelphia, and Washington banking-houses
a volume of unsolicited business which could not
fail to result in a great accumulation of wealth.
1 he "National Blessing" pamphlet was one of a
scries Issued by Mr. Cooke in the Interest of the
Eublio credit and the sale of bonds. Previous ones
ud treated of "How to Organize a National Bank,"
and "How Our Debt may be Paid," and the one In
question was entitled, "How our National Debt may
be a National Blessing." It was written by Mr. Sam
uel Wilkeson, formerly of the New York Tribune,
and published with the approvul of Mr. Cooke. The
pamphlet was issued for a definite end, and it ac
complished its purpose perfectly. It was In the win
ter of 'C4-fi; tho debt had reached a prodigious
figure; confidence in an early termination of the
war whs at a low ebb ; the disloyal press all over the
land was indulging in the most doleful prognostica
tions as to the "crushing debt," the "awful mort
gage npon us and our children," etc. So nearly
universal was this cry that the most
cheerful becamo despondent; the loans
drooped: it was almost lmjiosslble to dis
pose of, the bonds or maintain their stand
ing in tint market, and financial croakers
multiplied like the frogs In Egypt The prevalent
despondency at home depressed the spirits of our
troops in the lleld, and the means to wry on tho
war dally became harder to obtain. Under these
circumstances It was a necessity that some one
should present the bright side of tho financial situa
tion, and turn attention to the incidental benellts or
that growing debt which was represented to bo an
unmixed curse and an Intolerable burden. To do
this in tho only effective wav was of course incon
sistent with the traditional and helpless dignity of a
great government, and Mr. Cooke, as the Govern
ment's agent, with the quick eye of a sensible busi
ness man, undertook to show the peoplo, through
his famous pamphlet, that they were more scared
than hurt by the national debt He knew
that his document must have a striking
title and present the subject in a iopular
manner in order to make any Impression on tho pre
occupied public mind, lie did not propose to pub
lish a critical essay on political economy, nor did he
profess to trout the matter judicially giving equal
prominence to the dark and the bright features of
the debt question. He spoke us an advocate, his
purpose being to aid the Government In selling its
bonds to doubting and reluctant lenders of money.
It wus not his business to bold up the gloomy side.
He presented the cheerful part of the picture, and
purposely left the unpleasant portion untouched.
Mr. Cooke wus perfectly aware, and never dreamed
of teaching otherwise, that, us a general propor
tion, iient 01 tue luuiviuiiai or 01 tne nation is an
evil, but, having tho debt upon us, he sought to
show that, "if rightly managed." its burden would
be comparatively light and its benefits many.
Perhaps a more fcllcirous title for the
paper, considering its scope and aim,
would have been, "In What Particulars a National
Debt iiib.v be a National Blessing" much us one
might with perfect propriety write an essay on "the
blessings of labor," although the necessity for manual
toll Is popularly regarded us an evil. It is not diffi
cult to controvert some of the minor arguments or
the pamphlet relcrred to, just as fallacies may be
found In the financial writiugs of professed political
economists, but in its general enumeration and esti
mate of the advantages to accrue from the uatioual
debt, partially offsetting its hardships, the paperwas
substantially correct and sound.
Mr. Cooke, in Issuing his pamphlet, expected to
encounter a storm of criticism and abuse from Jour
nals of the New York IIrrald school, and politicians
like Brick Pomeroy, and he was not disappointed ;
but his object was accomplished, and lie could
afford to pay the price. IThe Copperhead press
abandoned their assaults upon the public credit,
and engaged In a fierce onslaught on the Cooke
pamphlet All the resources of denunciation and
ridicule were exhausted In demolishing the doctrine
thut "A nationul debt U a national blessing" a doe
trine Mr. Cooke never advanced, aud hence a man of
straw. More than a million copies of the pamphlet
were circulated and read among the people, and the
effect of the wide-spread discussion was to aid ma
terially in lifting the public mind out of the dumps,
In giving a new impetus to the sale of bonds, and in
restoring confidence iu the ability of the nation to
stand erect under its load.
The leading positions taking by tho writer of tho
"National Blessing" pamphlet were these: (I) With
our resources the debt can be easily and certainly
paid; (2) the Government securities furnish a widely
diffused and easily available cash capital, ready at
all times for tho uses of business enterprise'; (it)
these securities constitute the best possible savings
bank for worklnguien, widows aud orphans ; (4) tlie
debt furnishes the only sound basis for u svstera of
uniform national currency; (r.) the annual savings
to the people by such a national currency based 011
the debt will nearly pay the interest on tlie debt ; at)
the public debt, diffused throughout all the Slates
and among all political parties, will serve as a bond
of union and a check to partisan violence; (7) this
generation should not be required to pay the whole
of the debt ; (S) our revenue system Bhould be ma
terially mo.lilled, we should cease counting the
people's teaspoons, and collect our Internal tax frota
a few articled, spirits, wine, and tobacco being the
leading oucs; (9) Increased population and increased
manufactures will constantly lighten the debt bur
den by diffusing it; (10 we should make Europe con
tribute to our revenue by levying an excise tax on
exported cotton and petroleum.
From this outline of the doctrines presented in the
pamphlet aud this explauatiou of the occasion of its
issue, the reader can judge of the fairness of those
who improve every opportunity to refer to Jay Cooke
as the author of the doctrine that a national debt is
a national blessing. (i. W. il.

The court-room on Monday afternoon last was the
scene of an unusual and exciting occurrence. A
young lady who had been cruelly wronged, aud who
had sought redress through the strong arm of tho
law, and finding that process a rather tedious one
according to her notions, undertook to take tho case
out of the hands of the court and jury, by inflicting a
sudden and terrible punishment on the young niaa
who had robbed her of a virtuous name. Several
hours before the tragic Bcenc in the court-room the
young lady in question had procured at ono of our
drug stores a quautlty ot sulphuric acid, will ;h she put
into a common tin-cup, and carefully concealed the
some under her shawl. She took a chair lnsidu the
bar with her attorneys, ami when her betrayer came
into her presence, she motioned him to come to her,
and when ho had reached the proper distance she
threw the contents of the cup at him, intending to
strike him in the face, but, as he dodged, the greater
portion of tlie acid was received on his head. This
scene created quite a buzz in the court room, Law
yers in the vicinity of the affair had their broadcloth
ruined, for wherever the acid touched a brilliant
scarlet waa produced. The young lady was imme
diately arrested and sent to jail, while the injured
youth was placed under medical treatment, aud Is
now doing well. Subsequently the woman was taken
out of jail, and held In 8 1000 ball for her appearance
at the Quarter Sessions.

In the course of the trial ef Edward Smith for the
murder of John Hughes, on the Chesuut street
bridge, on the night or the 2d of October last, the
principal testimony adduced by the Commonwealth
yesterday was that or the boy John Conway, who
said lie went upon tho bridge with Smith
and saw him approach Hugnes anl
scuffle with him; after wandering
about Market street for some time they returned to
the bridge and found a crowd standing ground
Hughes, who was found lying upon the pavement
dead ; Conway said to Smith, "This Is the man you
killed," and Smith answered, "Yes I did, but for
God's sake don't tell;'' Conway again said, "Tnen
you'd better throw your knife away," and tho pris
oner replied. "I did throw It away;" they remained
noon the snot until an officer arrived aim tne nonv
was taken away, and then they went to Twcnty-tliird
and chesnut streets.
This morning the trial was resumed, and tho fol
lowing additional testimony was given :

Chesnut Streets Railway, testified that on the night
of the 2d of October lust ho left the depot at Forty
second street, coming east, about 10 SO o'clock, and
as be was crossing the bridge ho saw a man lying
there as if intoxicated, but never supposing him to
be dead, passed on; when making his return trip he
saw the man still lying there, nearly an hour later; a
number of persons were standing about at that time.
Patrick MoUiuu, another conductor on the Ches
nut and Walnut streets road, said that this night he
started upon his trip into the city at ten minutes
past nine o'clock ; upon returning he also saw what
he supposed to be a drunken man lying on tho north
side of the bridge.

with him; Smith and O'llara went upon the bridge,
and a little while afterwards Conway went on the
bridge, aud I staid at tho corner of Twenty-third
street about hall an hour; I then met Conway and
Smith coming down together, Smith having some
thing under his arm, and I went to see what was
tho matter ; it wus a shawl Smith had ; he said he had
knocked a man down and kicked him in the guts,
and had taken the shawl from him; we three went
into Bagula's grocery store, and Smith wanted to
see if Bugula knew anything about the shawl; Mr.
Bagula said it belonged to a colored girl, and Smith
said if she would come to his houso she could get
it; we went to Smith's house, and then returned
to the bridge; Smith went up llrst, Conway
second, and I lust; when I got up I
saw a man coming on tho south
side of the bridge ; I saw Smith and this man quar
reling, lighting: Smith went towards him; I don't
know whether the man had said tiny tiling; 1 saw the
man hit Smith and Smith hit the man; Smith hit him
in tho left breusi ; they were lighting together about
live minutes or so, and then the man hallooed
that' lie was going nway; I heard come
from him a sijueak or squeal; when
they parted, Smith came towards me; Smith came
to me and said, "I have run a knife Into him ;" Con
wsv, Smith, and I were the only persons on tho
bridge at that time; the mau went west, ami wo

smith came from the man, ne walked; went from
Dart's to Twenty-third and Chesnut; from thereto
Market street, and then to West Philadelphia; wont
to Oy f ter Jack's ; Smith called for three drinks ; when
bo went down for ale Smith went out, and we went
after him, without drlnkiog the ale: we went up
Market street to another tavern; I went down

Despatch to The livening Tekgraph.
Nashville, Nov. 23. The bill authorizing
the construction of tho Cincinnati Southern
Railroad through the State of Tennessee was
called up in tho House to-day by Mr. James on
its second reading. Mr. Fleming, of Knoxvillo,
thought a bill granting such extraordinary
franchises nnd privileges should receive mature
deliberation before its passage, especially since
a dollar of stock in the proposed road could not
be owned in Tennessee. Ho hoped it would.be
referred to the Judiciary Commltt
Mr. James, of Hamilton, advoc'fsWf the imme
diate passage of tho bill, and contended that no
honest opposition could be urged against such n
bill, Fince the construction of the road would be
of such vast benefit to the people of tho State.
He said that on Its third reading an amendment
would be proposed to prevent discrimination
against Tennessee freights and passengers. Tho
bill then passed the second reading without a
dissenting vote.

Dt jtpaich to The Evening Telegraph.
Frankfout, Ky., Nov. A band of nine
to twelve nicB, masked nnd clothed in grotesque
garb, mado an attack on Saturday night upon a
congregation assembled for the purpose of hear
ing preaching upon tho farm of Harvey Scott,
some nine or ten miles from this city. Another
report gives the number of men as much larger.
They called themselves Regulators, nnd declared
that they intended to put a stop to any meeting
or assemblages of negroes. In the onslaught
ono negro was shot nnd slightly wounded iu the
back of the neck, aud a number of others were
shockingly beaten. None of the assailants were
injured.
No other reason wus given by the Regulators
for their conduct than that they inteuded to
squelch nil negro meetings. It is said that a
portion of them were recognized by the negroes,
nnd ono whito person who saw them averred for
n time that ho knew a portion of the party, but
subeeimeutly stated that he did not know them,
and that he was drunk when he said he did. No
arrests have been made, and it is presumed that
the usual acquiescence of the civil authorities in
the situation will occur.

Bioruing tho community was thrilled with hor

perpetrated about twenty-five miles below this
city, on tho road to Nashville. It appears that
a dissipated man named Joseph Barton, who
farmed for a livelihood, bad killed his wife and
three children, butchering them in a shocking
manner with an axe. It is supposed that he
was drunk at the time. He is still at large, all
