Mr.. JAMES GORDON BENNETT
DEAR Sir
As you have no correspondent ia this place,
give you to-day the history of little occurrence
which happened in our town on Monday night las.
A Mr.. William Edwards, who had been commit
ting various mlsdemeanors about town (such as
fighting, drinking, rowdying, and SO on), was taken
by the citizens, and placed upon that most pleasant
OF all things fine three-corned rail, and escorted
by band Of tin pals, COW bells, &C., carried across
the river into Georgia. An ex-Marshall of our
town, who was the prominent leader of this move
ment, as soon as Edwards was in Georgia, slipped
back across the bridge to console Edwards wife,
tor the loss, disgrace, &c, Of her husband. Ed
wards, however, concluding he was the proper one
comfort the lady in affection, also slipped back,
and finding the ex-Marshall in bed with his better
half, drew knife, and cut him all to pieces, split
ting his nose, lips, and cutting him seriously, and
perhaps MORALLY, in the body.
Isha occas onally give you sketches of life, man
ners customs, and events, in this place.
