UNFORTUNATE AFPRAy---The following para
graph which we copy from the Norfolk Beacon
II Saturday last gives tdings Of most unfortunate
tate Of affairs existing in Accomac county Virginis
We trust however that the matter Is much exaggera-
ed aud that the differences to exist will be speedi
y adjusted We learn that fight occurred at Drum
nond pown, Accomac county on Monday last between
Judge Bayly member Of Congress, and MIR Fnney one
the candidates OF the county growing out OF the late
division OF the Methodist Epscopnlan church. In which
MIR r. was shot in the thigh by the judge The excite
nent s said to be intense much that the judge,
who It is said was imprisoned in the jail part Of Mon
day has been compelled to leave the county. and ac-
cordingy took passage yesterday in the boat Balti
more Some idea may be formed OF the excitement per-
vadng the county this subject when inform the
on the bench on Monday last armed with pair of
volvers and n bowie knife
fishes the following from of the most
citizens OF the county Of Accomac =
to inform you Of unfortunate ARRAY which occurred
at our courthouse yesterday afternoon, lit being
court day. in which Mr.. William b. Finney shot.
For days before court the county flied with reports
that Judge Bayly was to be attacked on that day by
combination Of men, led on BY some Of the Msssrs
and some OF its members taken from the bench and tied
These reports painfully affected every lover OF peace and
good order and many disposed TO attach credit
to them whatever; but the result proved that they
were mistaken As soon as Judge Bayly got through
with his business in court which between sunset
and dark he left the courthouse walked over to the
tavern stopped just In front Of the hotel when Ms
saion with him At this te Mr. %s Fnusy
to approach Judge Bayly followed by his back
ers VINO, seems haa all been assembled In the tavern
ney struck Bayy ard knocked him down aud ~ Bayly
rose he Discharged pistol at Fnney and the ball
through his thigh and lodged in the foot Of Mr. Tracer
The wound Is not considered n dangerous one The mob
flor cannot in truth characterize 1t by nlder term)
result would have been but for the very ener
getic action Of Mr. John c. Wise Of magistrates
Mr. Wise himself was armed, he being ono OF the JUS
tces that threatened with being taken off the bench
and tied on that day; and 1t this fortunate circu
stance that enabled him to hold the mob in check every
den Under foot The excitement was SO great that it was
found impossible to go into anything like an invest.a
for Ss u snS ana 5.oss nay was Lodged IN Jan
investigation, when he was fully acquitted The evil
dence made out pure case Of sefdefence Thee ma
gistrses were sitting in the and they were unani
nous In their opinion Throughout this whole affair
the conduct and bearing Of Judge b. COOL calm and
collected. Mr. John c. Wses efforts, as peace otncer,
were above all praise and the writer of this would be
doing Injustice to his own FEELINGS were he to omit to add
that In these efforts he was nobly sustained by MIR Re-
veil West one OF the very best officers that this or any
other county blessed with His torn and battered
coat the noxt morning the best evidence of his SER
vices through this trying affair You may be ready to
ask the of this excitement against Judge Bayly
will answer, in word, it was Mr. William kinneys de-
feat at last spring election and tho triumphant vote
which Judge Bayly obtained in this county for Con-
gress.
