informed Of a series or cutrsses which ,ransphed

Vifeini' the atroeiiy OF which Is fully equal that
Of the scenes Of blood and lawlessness which have
heretofore been peculiar the hail civilized Teeioi rs
OF the Southern and Southwestern portions of our
country
A feud has been pending for some time between
Heroine l. Opie and his brothcr-i n-la~, Captain
Gordon. The particulars otihe origin Of this quar-
rel are not such c,n, with pTopricty. be noticed
in newspaper. The report, l. that Gordon and
| his ycung nephew, named Maui, had presented
themselves before th' dwelling place Of Opic, in
threatening attitude, AMI III the purpose of attack
ing him. Gordon was arrested for this alleged vio
iation OF the peace, but the charge not being
| tanned by proof, he was released. Subsequently,
Maui who Is said 10 DO n mere youth, probably
seventeen or eighteen years Old, was passing alone
by the house ofOpie, on horseback. A man named
Smith Crane, Who WAS in Opie's house at the time
| with Opie aud Others sailed forth when Maui was
pFssing, Tor the purpose of encounteTins him.
Crane, approaching Maui. introduced himself and
stated that he wished 10 have conversation " in
him. Maui, replying that he had no BUSINESS with
hun, and would have nothing to say TO him, turned
his horse to 90 away Crane then fred and the
ball passed entirely through Maull's body the per-
ioration being nine or ten inches in length. Upon
the affidavit of some one who was n casual observer
oil the altar, Crane was arrested and taken to
Charestown for examination. After long exami
nation, the magistrates refused TO receive bail and
| decided that Crane must be committed TO prison
As soon as the position thus taken by the Magi,-
trates had been announced, ons 4 Crane's friends
exclaimed, come Smith, il is time TO go,p AMI
while one Of them held the constable fast, tho rest
hurried Cionc out OF the Court house, in the face
o! the magistrates ard of large asscmblagc of
people, and placed him on a horse which was in
| waiting, whose heotness soon effected his escape
from the authority OF the magistrates. The magi,-
tra,es urged the people present TO exert themselves
to prevent his escape, but. strange to say, n, pre-.
sent were as passive as blocks Of marble. Crane
represented TO be an athletic and desperate man.
| Every good citizen must cherish tte hope that he
may yet be brouchtto punishment, and especially
that those who participated both actively and ne
s'tivey IN aiding him to escape, may DC held to
| answer for their crime.
Mawe was rot killed. and there is said TO be
| some slight hope ofhis recovery.
An Old man named Harris who was attempting
to Keep Cra"s back, whom he was going to meet
MawIe was struck with apopleSY, and continues
PROSTATE in consequence Of that attack.
