EXTRAORDINARY FAHILY FEUD.
A correspondent at Elizabethtown, Ten
nessee, gives us the particulars of a terrible
feud that has been raging for twenty years
between two familiesdahat Cottrity,• and
which Was brought toan end by the bloody
deaths of the sole surviving males of
.the
warring tribes, in the streets of Elizabeth
town, on the evening of the sth ofJanuary.
The histery - of the affair, as detailed by our
correspondent, is as follows:
in the fall 0f1846 a family named John
steins reitioved from Wantaufra county, N.
C , to Carter county, East' Tenn , and set
tied down in the neighborhood of another
family named Rogers. Johnstone, who ap
peared to be an energetic, industrious man,
immediately went to work at clearino• up
a little farm. He felled trees, .grubbed up
under growth, burned stumps, and split
rails to fence in the ground he reclaimed
from the wilderness. In this labor he was
assisted by two sons—both were lads.
While the three were engaged in erecting,
fencing about their patch of laud, Rogers
rode up to where they were at work, one
day, and laid claim to a pile of rails, about
a dozen in number. This claim Johnstone
disputed and finally. on R4gers applying
to him the epithets of "lie " and "thief,'
the N l iurth Carolinian pulled Win from his
horse and administered to him' - a severe
ChastiSement with his fists. Rogers went
off vowing vengeance, and itli•thecOurse of
an hour returned to the sp'4 armed with
a rale, the Contents of %vide i he discharged
into the body of Johnstone, roducing final
consequences. Rogers, Win . was a man. of
wealth for 'those primitive times, and. wag
posseSsed of considerable • influence atrion ,
his rough unlettered neighbors, was acquit
ted op the charge of murder by an eicamiti
' ing jestice. This was the beginning Ot the
terrible Vendetta which has run, through
1 the yearsa that followed, cutting down the
males of the two families in the pride of
their strength and manhood 1
The twoJohnStone lads vowed verieaneel
upon the murderer of their parent, and one
of them, Thoinas, worked night and day;
with but one object in view, to accumulate:
the means to purchase a rifle. At length'
he became the owrer of one, and one Sabi
bath morning, with his gun upon his
shoulder, he approached the house of Rog
. eis: The latter was sitting upon his porch,
and ; r he sax' youth , Johnstone approach
it, probably divining his intention, arose
tastily-, and started toWard the rack whetLe
his gun was suspended. But the averigi.
of blood was upon his path, and ere lie could
reach his weapon, he fell upnn the floor n I
corpse, his heart pierced by the bullet Ofl
his foe: Rogers left behind him a you•tigi
wife and three thildreu l one of whom- wits
a boy. Among the rough backwoodsmen
of Carter county, young Johnstone's criMe
was looked upon with sad satisfaction, ii•
not favor, the Indian law of retaliation lie
infr lOoked upon by them as the very crcain
of juStico. Afterward Johnstone ; married
and as the Years passed by, he became stir
rounded by an interesting and numerous;
- progeny.
. :
The boy, Wm. Rogers, in the meantime,
bad almost reached manhood's estate; when
. ..
one morning, without divulging his inten
tion to mother or sisters-, he left the house
with his father's rifle upon his shoulder, .as
if he were going out to inint, and in less
than an hour a grief strcken mother and
children were weeping over the corpse of a
slain husband and father. Young Rogers,
.
in Ilia turn, had become an avenger, and
Thomas Johnstone had fell beneath his
handl
In. time the memories of these three run r
ders died awdy and those who Were children
then grew Up to he men and Women. Wm.
Rogers had tak is to himself a wife, and be
came the head of a growing family. - Ci_ne
morning he rode into El:zabeiht‘own, rind
as he did not return that night—a cireinn
stance that never occurred before—his ndfe
becatne very uneasy, and' in the. morning
induced her Brother to start to town in search
of her missing husband. About three Miles
from the 'house he came upon the body of
his brother-in-law lying in the road, stiff and
cold in death.' His brain had been pierced
by a rifle ball. Although his murderer Was
never discovered, yet the community quiet
ly accepted the belief that Henry John-,
stone, a son of Thomas, who was slain by
Rogers, was the perpetrator of the deed.
Seme years afterwards, in a drunken: mo
ment, in Elizabethtown, this young man
acknowledged' lie had slain Rogers, and
gave as reason that the latter , hae killed his
father: Johnstone was a young man, and
'only a few months before the murder had
been married to a young girl in the neigh.—
borhood.
Again the chart of time was unrolled
and at least ten years was added to the
past, when a young lad; son of the murder
ed Rogers, engaged in an altercation in the
court house at Elizabethtewn, with John
stone, who was Then a middle aged man,
and inflicted such wounds upon him with .
a knife, that he died the following. Morn
ing.
Thus it went on for years, now a 'John
stone falling by the hands of a Rogers, then
a Rogers falling beneath the avenging hand
of a Johnstone, until the war intervened,
_5.10 P. M
E ra
and for a time, at least, the terrible feed
appeared to have ended. The cessation of
hostilities brought the survivors of the war
ring families back to (.li , ter county; Tiles ,
survivors consisted of Randall Rogers and
Robert. Johnstone, both battle,:scarred!et
erans and both unmarried men. On the
evening of the sth these two men met in
a grocery at Elizabethtown, an I Soon bed
came engaged in an t!tercatior: Bystand
ers interfered, and for an hour or two a col
lision was averted. . They were seperated
uy friends and taken off in opposite direc
tions. This occurred Lent noon. About
3 o'clock, as Rangers Was going up Street,
he saw Johnstone coniiiig down. As they
neared each other they - drew their revol

upon each other, continuing to advance as
