LirE AT THE SoUrH.-We are informed by a
letter that terrible event took place at Nachito-
ches. La during the evening OF the 18th inst John
F. Cortes, formerly an extensive merchant, armed
with double barreled gun, proceeded to the office
of Mr.. Giles, lawyer, and discharged the con-
tents of both barrels in his breast, killing him dead
upon the spot. Cortes coolly walked up the street.
but was persuaded BY his friends TO eave the place.
No one pursued, of course. woman was the
cause OF the difficulty.
From the Caddo Gazette Of the l2th inst, We learn
the fnghtful death of Col Robert Potter. He was
beset in his house BY enemy named Rose. He
sprang from his couch. seized mis- gun, and in his
night clsthes rushed from the house For about
300 yards his speed seemed TO defy his pursuers but
getting entangled in a thicket, he was captured.
Rose told him that he intended TO act generous
part, and give him chance for hs life. He then
told Potter he might run, and he should not be in
terrupted till he reached 4 certain distance. Pot
ter started at The word OF command, and before a
gun was fred he had reached the lake. HIS hrs
impulse was 10 jump in the water and dive tor ~
which he did. Rose was close behind him, and
formed has men on the bank, ready to shoot him as
