RIOT AND DEATH
A riot attended with loss of life occur•
red in Elk Neck in this county on the
night of Saturday last. The particulars
as far as we have been able to learn them
are as follows. A parcel of fishermen
ongregated at the house of a man named
Cannon. and continued carousing their
until a very late hour of the night. Can-
non told them that they must leave his
house, and threatened to shoot them if
they did not go away. But they still re•
owned. Cannon got his pistol, again
threatened to shoot, cocked it, a scuffle
ensued, the pistol went oft, and its con
tents entered the thigh of a man named
llCAllister, and before surgical aid could
be obtained the man died of the wound.
Cannon was arrested, and committed to
jail, where he now waits to have his trial.
Joe learn he was beaten by the fishermen
severely. Two of the witnesses were al
so imprisoned for want of security to ap
pear at the next session of the county
court.
McAllister was from Staunton, Dela
•eare, and is said to have left a wife and
two small children. —Cecil Md. Gazette.
A SHOCKING OUTRAGE.
The Mobile Chronicle states that an
atrocious act was recently perpetrated on
board the steamboat Governor Pickens,
when 20 miles above that city. G. B.
Hayden, Eeq., editor of the Marengo Pa
triot, was shot and dangerously wounded,
by a person named Gee, a fellow paqsen.
ger, who, we understand, resides at Gains.
vine, in this state. The circumstances as
far as we have been able to gather them,
are as follows: The boat left the city late
on Saturday evening, Mr. Hayden and
Gee both being among the passengers.
After tea, Mr. Hayden repaired to the
boiler deck, where, seated in a circle of
fi lends, he was engaged in political con
versation. While this was going on, Gee
obtruded himself, and commenced using
very abusive lang uage, bantering Mr. H.
to bet, to fi ght, ac. Mr. H. dill all in his
power to evade the eonve..sation, remark
ing that he did not wish to bet or fight,
and desired him to leave him. After sit
ting a few moments, Mr. H. rose for the
purpose of ret;ring to the ladies' cabin,
to join his wife, who was also on board.
As soon as he rose, Gee drew a pistol and
shot Mr. H., the ball.lodging, we under
stand in the h p bone. Gee was immedi
ately secured by the passengers, and the
boat put back, bringing both the wounded
man and Gee to this city. Surgical aid
was immediately procured fur Mr. Hay
den, and although the wound is pronoun
ced rather dang erous , still hopes are en
tertained for his recovery. Gee was
promptly committed to prison. \Ye have
never heard of a more wanton, cold blood
ed attempt at murder than this, us repre
sented to us. r. Hayden is a young gen
tleman of much promise, and is univer
sally beloved by a numerous circle of
friends and acquaintances.
A MUTINEER,
A paragraph is circulating in the news.
papers to the effect that a seaman connec •
ted with the United St des ship Vandalia,
now lying at Pensacola, was hung fi utn
the yard arm on the 10th instant, on a
charge of having assaulted one of his offi
cers. A correspondent of the Army and
Navy Chrsnicle. written from Pensacola
the 11 tit instant, corrects the mistake, by
stating that the man was not hung, altho
very nearly so:—
"The scaffold was rigged—the grave
dug, and coffin made—in fact every pre
paration perfect. At the appointed time
the yellow flag signal for execution was
run up at the lore royal mast head of the
frigate, a gun fired, the crews of all the
ships mustered on deck, and a general or•
der from the Commodore, relating to the
melancholy spectacle, soon to take place,
read to them. They were permitted to
cluster upon the forecastle and booms, to
be able the better to witness the execu
tion. The man dressed in white, having
on the white cap, was observed, led out
upon the scaffold, rope adjuhted, and the
~haplain attending with his prayer book,
to ease the poor fellow off handsomely in-.
to the other world. The chaplain having'
finished, the marine officer was seen tol
advait:e and read what was supposed his
death warrant, cut which was soon known
by a signal from the frigate, to be his par
don by the President, assigning for it the
very good reason that Livingston's offence
was only one instance of unbridled pas
sion, and his punishment did not seem
necessary for the preservation of the dis-'
cipline of the squadron, as it appeared
from the evidence that he called upon the'
boats' crew of the other ships, but called
In vain.
“The yellow flag was then hauled down
and the performance of the morning end
ed. The man was tremendously frigl t.
cned, as you may readily imagine, and
was in fact so completely paralyzed, that
his pardon caused no more emotion, or
perceptible change in his demeanor, than
the reading of his sentence, which was
none at all It was some moments after
he was led below before he could speak,
or even make a noise with his tongue; and
his first motion was to seize the bible, and
kissing it, promised never to touch intox
icating drinks again.”
