negro boy named Charles, fourteen or ilt.
teen years of age, deliberately shot his

or eight years of age, with a pistol loaded

minutes. They had quarreled the day be-
fore. Whilst another brother was trying
to take Charles, directly after The murder
Gus act, he shot at him likewise with a
second pistol, which he had concealed. but
without effect. Charles is in Jail. The
man killed belonged to Mr.. 2. K. Dickin-
sou, as does The murderer.

cred that a number of small black boys
about town had pistols in their possession.
which they had been in The habit of sport
ing with. firing at marks, &C., in retired
places. They were purchased, they say,
and as is well ascertained, from certain
men in town, who it appears havo been in

population. Against these vioiators oflhe
law. and the disturbers of peace, highly
excited feeling justly exists in the Commu-
