Fatal Rencounter.-It is our painful duty 10
record a trasiea! scene which occurred i'll this
town on Monday (Saleday) last. After the
Sheriff's SIDES were over. and whilst consid
cradle crowd remained about the steps OF the
Court House, q light ensued between MIR. JOS.
w. Glover and NJ. Lovett GolnIion, which
Terminated in the deaih of Mr. Glover.
Both parties it seems were armed. and fired
pistols at each other the first time without either
being materially injured. Mr. Condition with
his seconed pistol shot Mr. Glover IN the right
breast, which killed him instantly. Mr. Gomil
lion Immediately surrendered himselfto an Of
fcer. As the matter may undergo judicial in
vestisation. we forbear To enter further into the
particulars ofthis melancholy scene.
We reglet to say, thau our friend Col. VIM.
II Moss, in attempting to prevent the affair,
was very severely sho,by one ofthe parties, in
the neck and shoulders. We are grati6ed 10
learn. that his wounds are not considered dan.

We cannot however, as faithful conductor
OF the press, and as citizen concerned for the
welfare of The community, allow the occasion
to pass without calling the attention of our Lc-
:gislators to the peinicious practice of wearing
concealed aud deadly weapons iu thcirhands
must the remedy be found.
We omitted 10 rnerition in our last, that we
were indebted to MI. E. c. Remer, ofthis place,
for several new publications.. These and others
can be Obtained Of Mr. X. at the Post Office, on
the usual, cheap terms.

Carolina, as we are informed, arrived in this
city yesterday evening. MIR. P. left home as
an invited guest to attend the Democratic Mass
Convention in thisciiy last week, but owing TO
accident, and a dlsappointmentin The means of
transportation on the road. he was prevented
from arriving in time. We. in common with
our friends, regret the disappointment. We
had desired Ia hear from this distinguished
statesman of the South, an authoritative refata-
tion Of the vile slaniler Of disuuion charged a.
gainsi his gaIlaut State. We yet hope that,
before leaving, he may be afforded one or more
proper opportunities of being heard. We ure
not aware OF his intended movements, but hope
ile will remain SOME time among his friends
for such be will fnd every democrat in Ten.
nessee."
We publish in another column, the letter Of
MIR. Tyler. declining the canvass for the Presi

In this letter. Mr.. Tyler gives condemned re

late Session of Congress. He vindcates him

course which he thought proper to pursue
with regard to the establishment Of U. State:
