Roads states that he first ran t,wards
Mr.. Crouch's house, but, thinking he
heard the robbers in tn !. stable, turnt d
his course towards the Cross Roads.
MIR. Crouch also Immediately started
an express off to arouse the neightors,
and on the arrival of two men from the
Cross Roads in the vicinity of the house,
Miss Webster stated that she heard their
horses hoofs, when the assassins took
fright and fed, having just at that mo-
ment shot her. Although she made no
statement of the kind, the physicians
consisting Of Drs. James Highe, G. w.
Graham and John E. Marsh, who ex-
amined her body after death, as well as
that of Miss Cosden, state that an at
tempt had been made to commit rape
on both of them, either before or after
they were shot.
The funeral of the four victims, Mr..
and Mrs. Cosden, Miss Cosden, and Miss
Webster, took place on Sunday morning
at Il O'Clock, and was attended by hun
dreds of persons collected from many
miles around, and the excitement rela-
tive to tie bloody affair has had no par
allel in that section of country.

THE KENT MAssAcRE.-We publish
to-day long account of the horrible
massacre, committed last week near
Georgetown ss-Roads, a slight rumor
regarding which we gave last Saturday.
1t is startling thought, that here in
Maryland, so close to us, a whole family
is thus heartlessly and cruelty murdered.
Such an event would be fearful indeed,
even on Texan frontier where the se'-
tiers are exposed to the ravagcs of tie
Camanches. ....
Four persons have been arrested on
susplcion-W Webster, Roberts, Shelton
and Drummond. Reference to the first
three is made in the accounts in another
column. A gentleman who let George
town CROSSROADS on Thursday, informs
us that the popular feeling is stronges
against Shelton and Drummond, a1t
any evidence anything Ike conclusive
would, in all probability, lead to The
destruction by the exasperated citizen
of the upper portion of Kent. He in
forms us that after the murders wer
committed Drummond gave a dirk knit
to young man and told him that h
had stabbed a man with it. 1t is ais

Mr.. +. again notices that quotation
from Byron, and adds that he had a per-
feet right to Jest about it, for it did not
''apply" to 3him. The quotation "im-
plied' he was ''renegado.' If he is
not, he has, of course, right to jest about
it, but if he is-and such he has partial
~ confcsscd--then, by what strange per-
version Of language, does he make ii APP
pear that it does not ':apPly" to him.
Mr.. f. answers the chargc Of creme

ing an opponent, a renegade-or any
other cpithet | choose to apply-to the

words renegade and opponent are not

1t sounds quite finely, indeed, to hear

solemn obligations that he can take up

mr.. Editor:-Bcfore proceeding fur.
ther in This controversy, it may not be
amiss torevicw slightly, its origin and
progress 10 tbs point. And, lest Mr.. L,
should be tempted to reitcrate the in
situation, that have "appeaIed to the
community Tor sympathy" | viii say,
once for all, that am not one to crave
sympathy at any time, and certainly
have no reason to alter fixed principle
Of my life now, when have right utoa
my side. Mr.. r. seems not TO like this
plan of appealing to the community for
the truth of an assertion, or the ustice
OF a position. Perhaps, he is of that
number, who, caring naught for public
opinion above its cenaure are regardless
of its praise. Happy man! have not
yet reached that enviablc position; but
have mingled somewhat in the world,
and have learned TO regard public opin-
ion, not as The tickle thiag which some
would pretend, but as an all.powerinl
alerbic into which the promulger Of
truth may throw his cause, fearless of
the result.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Els
first attack upon the Order Of the Sons
Of Temperance was left unnoticcd, and
it was only when by repetition these at
lacks became ''insultinglY offensive"
that Thought them worthy of a reply.
My article, as all viii remember, was
merely short, humorous communica-
ton, intended rather as friendly re-
proof, than harsh castigation. At this
the worthy gentleman dignity is might
" offended and vowing, doubtless, TO
visit with terrible retribution, the arro-
giant pretender WHO dared thus gainsay
the opinion Of one, who for years had
r2igned sole monarch Of his literary MI
crocosm, vents forth his spleen in a
lengthy article, which, for The intemper-
ance andeven yulgarity of its language,
the abusivenesa Of its inyective, the SLAM
derous character of its assertions and the
inpudent manner in which they were
made, has rarely had a parallel III news
paper controversies.
| replied to the best Of my humble
ability; refuting bis charges against the
Order and arraigning him before he tri-
bunal Of public opinion as a renegade"
false to his vows Of fidelity and reckless
Of his honor as a man. Carrying out
fundamental rule in controversy; in
duIged in no personal charges but such
as were strictly relevant too, and natu-
rally grew out Of the subject in hand.
TO this Mr., Z. again replied in an ar
ticle which shall notice as briefly as
possible, consistent with lis mighty I'm
port.
In the first paragraph he has some
thing about shaking hands and being
friends AGAIN" So far as this may al
Jude to personal matters, | can assure
Mr.. f. that it is entirely unnecessary.
No word which h has vet written has
had the power 10 kindle one spark OF an
ger in my bosom, though he has several
times congratulated himself upon putting
me in a passion. look upon him as
upon the rest Of mankind, with nore-
sentiment, whatever: but if Mr.. y. means
by this shaking of hands, cessation Of
hostilitics, ] spurn the offer; | have ia
