SERIOUS STREET REEcoNTRE IN LYNcHBURG, Va.
We learn from the Richmond Republican that Sc
rlous rencontre took place Thursday, IN the town
OF Lynchburg. between the editor of the Virgnlan,
A. w. Z. Terry, ESQ.,. and Mr.. James G. Saunders.
son OF DR.. James Saunders, of the members Of
the Convention now in sessisn in Richmond. The
difficulty between Messrs. Saunders and Terry grew
out OF certain structures made by the latter gentleman,
In the columns of the Virgnian, upon the of
the father OF the former, in regard the Basis Cues
ton, so long under discussion in the State Conven-
ton 1t is said that the combatans met in the street,
after an article to which Mr.. Saunders took exception
had appeared on Thursday morning in the Virgnian.
Some words were passed. and both parties drew their
weapons-revolvers-and fred several shots, most
of which took effect, and are supposed from all ac-
counts to be fatal.
The LYNcHBURG AFFAIR. We have been favored
with the following melancholy extract of letter.
ceved by gentleman in this city, dated Lynchburg,
June s. 1851:
o'clock this morning these gentlemen met in front
of the Market House: Saunders asked if this was
Mr. Terry, and the latter replied in the affirmative,
when Saunders struck him with stick. Terry forth
with drew one of Colts revolvers and fired when
Saunders drew small pistol and fired also. Five
shots were then exchanged between them: 3 by Ter
ry, and by Saunders. Both then cnched, and were
in the act of committing upon each other further vio-
ence, Terry with knife, and Saunders with Terry
revolver, which he had wrested from him, when they
were separated. Terry was borne off to DR.. Black
ford's, and Saunders to Mosby g. Holcombe's-both
regarded as mortality wounded. Terry received one
of Saunders balls in the of his breast
ach; Saunders received fTery's balls just above
the navel and passed out the left side just above
the hip-bone. They are both lying insensible.
Capt. Biggers attempted to separate them, when
he was shot by Terry through the arm, and by Saun-
ders through the Leg and very severely though not
dangerously waunded.
P. S. Saunders died to-day at o'clock
Another letter, dated June 5th, o'clock, P. M.
gives us the following additional details 6 Mr.. Terry
now lies quite composed; he has been cool all the
me his wounds have bled very freely outside; faint
hopes are entertained of his recovery. Mr.. Saunders
wound bled inwardly all the time he vomited much
blood, and died 81 o'clock this evening. Captain
Biggers is severely wounded
P. S. passenger in last evenings cars was in
formed by some one, who left Lynchhvrg two hours
after the departure of the mail Friday morning,
that Mr.. Terry also dead. This intelligence was
not confirmed yesterday. Indeed, no letters. from
Lynchburg were received yesterday, that could
hear of. We trust that the news may be unfounded.

The VIcTIMs,oF SPANISH DEsPoTIsM. Under this
heading, the New Orleans Delta of the Goth publish
es the following:
We have received by private intelligence, on Sun
day, accounts of the execution of two more victims
OF the blood-thirs.y Cove rnment, which now enjoys
the protection of this free republic The organ of
Mr.. Fillmore declares that the Cubans enjoy much
liberty they desire deserve. Such examples
as the following will show how much truth there is
in this declaration. If the heroism and fortude of
martyrs prove the sincerity of their faith and patriot
ism, the cause of Cuban liberty has shown that its
advocates are men Of the true spirit of those
6 Immortal names that were not born to die -
who have offered up their lives willing sacrifices
the altar of their country-whose blood has been
frequently poured the seed of liberty in their
native land.
s'On the 5th of May, another victim OF Spanish
despotsm yielded up his life in the same manner that
Monies de Oca had done. He was Carlos Collins,
ma tive of Maanzas and member of one of the best
families of that city, He about 25 years of age,
brave sagacious, and devoted to his country he died
under the garote like true patriot, procaming to the
last his treason"
A still more conspicuous example of Cuban devo-
ton, was the of Manuel Fl. Ramirez, aged "a.
He was handsome, genial, generous, patriotic young
man, OF great learning, and profound mathenlati-
clan. Although young, he was the master-sPirlt OF
the College of Cuba, in which he filled the principal
chair of learning. No young man in the Island was
more highly esteemed. He was especially beloved
in Havana. Ramirez had read too much to be a sub
ect he gave his prayers his countenance to the eff
fort iberate this oppressed Isle. Suspected, tried,
and convicted upon the testimony OF hired sPies he
died like hero and patriot, protesting with his last
words, his devotion to the cause of his country's
freedom. --......-
These are few examples OF the men who have
thus died in cause which the President of the Uni
ted States has declared to be one OF robbery and
plumber" Let the patriotic people of the Republic
determine whether such are the deeds OF marau ders
of pirates, and of plunderers.

SOUTH CAROLINA. The whole burthen of the
Wing press of this State, seems to be, how to abuse
most effectually sister State. The noble stand
taken by South Carolina, instead of being Initiated is
decred there is no friendly remonstrance in the
tone-no digni6ed appeal to generous feef1ng-no
symPathy-buta bitter, vndictive, uncompromising
hostility, that would come with more grace from
Federal Massachusetts, than twin sister, The Dem
ocrats of our State far generous for though
many Of them. the larger portion may say, do not
believe in the policy OF separate State action, they
contend for the right of secession, not knowing how
soon northern aggression may bring about that CO.
operation of the South, which the present past
seems net yet to have done The doctrine of nulli-
cation strongly condemned in 'S3 and 35. and
which caused two vessels Of war to be placed in
Charleston harbor to enforce the laws, assumes a
new feature when put in practice in Massachusetts,
and Vermont to nulliy constitutional act of Con-
gress for the Fugitive Slave Law as passed, is
merely section of the Constitution itself, served up
q la node to humbug the unwary. Every thing South
Carolina Does threatens to do invests her northern
sisters with holy horror-5ut let the steps
be taken by northern fanatics and all is right. In
conversation with friend recently from the North,
we learn that he attended divine service the Sab
bath, when, to his surprise, the minister from his
pulpit, solicited, contributions, to feed the numerous
fugitives in that concealed and to raise fund
to assist all others, who, Ike them have filed from
bondage.
We hear nothing of these things in those who
take pride in abusing South Carolina-who seem to
forget that she is conending for share of
the soil her valor helped materially to win-but an
inherant rght-a guaranteed right-a right she new
er surrendered, nor will-the right to regulate
her own internal affairs, and protect her institutions
from being corrupted by either foreign or domes-
tic foe.
If we cannot agree with South Carolina in Princi-
pie, we have no right condemn her-as she came
into the Union voluntarily, she 60 out so-but
then will be time for recriminaton, it will be one
when better feelings should be aroused-and if we
not mistaken, would be, that might unite the
whole South in common cause.
But South Carolina will not secede we trust 8; hon.
est counsels may yet prevail in National Assem-
bly,, and genuine compromise be effected that will
heal all dssensions. But the rights of the States
must still be guaranteed. If Vermont and Massa-
chusetts wish to secede, they have right-and let
them 90 Lincrln Courier.
