Our readers are aware that a %diSgracclul state %ofthings.
just short of civil war. has for some time existed in Ac
comack county, growing out OF the late separation Of the
Methodist Church. We annex a brief account, from the
Norfolk Beacon, of the latest manifestation OF The excite
ment. A more detailed account, from a correspondent Of
the Enquirer, says nothing about Judge Baily having
left the county.
FRACAS-We learn thai a fight occurred at Drum
mond Town. Accomac county, on Monday last. between
Judge Bayly, member Of Congress, and Nh. Finney. one
of the candidates Of the County. growing outof the late
division otthe NJ. f.. Church, in which Mr.. f.. was shot
in the thigh by the Judge. The excitement is said to be
intense 50 much 50. thai the Judge, who, il is said, was
imprisoned in The Jail a part of Monday, has been com
PEELED To leave the County, and accordingly took passage
yesterday in the boat for Baltimore. Some idea may be
formed of the excitement pervading the county on this
subject when we inform the reader that one Of The NJ ipis
trates of the county went on the bench on Monday last,
armed. with a pair Of Itevolvers aud a Bowie Knife.

Her body was racked with severe pain for about

her. She spoke Of dying as Of going home.
