AFFECTING TALE.

The following statement is extracted from the
Nashville Gazette, not as tale originating in poet-
cal fancy, and embelished by the touches of wild
and wanton intellect, but as relation of incidents
which have actually occurred, and which, therefore,

our sympathy The Gazette states, that &c the names
are known, but from wish to prevent any painful
reflections to some that perhaps knew the parties,
they are concealed"
