MURDERoUs AFFRAY AT CHATASooGA, LA We
learn from the Chattanooga Herald. that serious
and dangerous afiray came of in that place, the
18th ut., in which II seems almost a miracle that
many lives were not lost. A difficulty had been
on hand several days, and some rough skirmshes
had taken place The particulars, briefly, are
these The difficulty on the one part was be-
tween Monroe Carter, David Angelly, William
Jolly, - Walker, and perhaps others; and on
the other part between Jerry, Joseph, and Sewer
Fryer, brothers, and their friends. In the rem.
counter which took place on Wednesday, the par
ties met on Market street, in the heart of the town.
The weapons used were two six-revolvers, a rifle,
a musket, bowie knife, an axe. grndstone, clubs,
&c. Carter was not present. His party forted in
Townsend& Co 5 store, and used rsvolvers. The
battle was brief, but terrible. Joseph Fryer had
an eye shot cut. Jerry Fryer was shot in his arm;
Joseph Loveland in bs hand. OF the other party
- Walker was shot in the shoulder with musket
balls, and his arm is badly broke-his damage
very serious. William Jolly cut on the head and
neck with q bowie knife. A man not engaged in
the fight, by the name of Hush, shot in the mouth
Col. Thomas McGallie. standing in store o2po-
site, had ball lodged in the breast Of his coat
What damage was done with rocks and clubs we
are rot informed. The parlies engaged were all
hound over TO court, except Angelly, who mounted
fleet horse and made his escape. We will not
comment on this dreadful outrage Of the laws Of
the lend, az the whole matter has TO be legally
inye stgated.

THE TINES TERMS.
THE WING MEETING.

twill be seen that the Wings of Richmond took
definite action, Thursday evening, both for the
nomination ofa Congressional candidate, and to Sc
cure representation of the city in the Wbig Con-
vention at Stanton We are happy to say that the
great harmony of the meeting gave the strongest
assurance that our party will come bravely up TO its
work in October and December. There was
more of disposition to conciliate than we have
witnessed in any wing nominating meeting in Rich
mond for long time past; the general sentiment
seemed to be that the present situation of the
country demands of every Wing willingness to
yield his own preferences for the common good
We hope the counties of the district that have
not appointed delegates, will take care to do so.

it is land of wonders There are fresh flowers every
month in the year, and winter wears the bloom OF

high Niagara; natural bridges Of white marble, far
surprising in beauty that OF Rockbridge, Virginia. some

stand upon them but short time even with thick
boots on The sillcous rocks bleachcd to snowy

ASLEEP in THE MARKET.- VIM. Fl. Vest, white

rom custody.
Martin Lynes white was next arraiened for an of
fence somewhat similar. Instead Of occupying the mar
ket house as lodging room, he bad selected a more
spacious and airy bedch amber. The earth served as
his couch, stone step TO private residence On Frank
lin street, answered Tor pillow, and the stars which
twnkled above were only so many tarers TO ilnmine
his chamber. But the watehmea sadly disturbed
Lynes arrangements, by stumbling over his body in
their pergrnations, and then arousng and taking him
to the cage As he had not been caught mapping pre-

in the affair at Prncpe-wres in glowing terms to the

TRUTH AKIN no NATURE.-Have v,

TRUTH AKIN TO NATURE.-Have you
pain! Be thankful. 1t is vigorous effort of Nature
to throw off morbifc matter. From what may the
morbitic matter arise! From bruse, or wholesome
air which has become mixed with the blood not incor-
porated in it, but which liable faint the whole mass
il not speedily removed Or the pain may arise from
bile which has become bad, rancid putrid, in
quence OF the want OF power in the proper organs
discharge it. This pain, which frighens people, is
only the symptoms OF the efforts OF Nature, dor the
vital principle OF the blood to expel the pecant inn
pure matter which would otherwise destroy the human
fabric All diseases of the solids or fluids or both
When we have pain in our head, or in our foot, in
throat, in our back bowels let but be satisfied
that it produced by the efforts of blood to throw
off morbltlc matter; and if this be SO, if can but
believe and understand this our cure will be easy and
generally sure For course will then be to help Ma
ture throw off the morbid matter, not to take away
the blood. For the blood, every drop we have is re-
quired to insure ultimate health to the body We must
not lose drop-neither must any medicines in
ternaly which are not perfectly harmless, applied
externally to the body. SO we must not any of tine
preparations of mercury, neither we use any We
getabe medicine OF corrosive power.
In order to discriminate between truth, which is eer
nal and conjecture, which is like transient vision, we
must be guided by the light of experience To what
does experience direct? To the free use of DR. BRAN
DRETHS PILLS in all cases of bodily suf-
ering As this advice is followed, so will the health
OF the body be. The writer has long used them and
has never found them fail ompartng relief in all acute
diseases, let Brandreh Pills and mild diet be used and
the patient will soon be restored to good heal tn. In
chronic complaints let the Pills be used often
venent, by which means the vitality OF the blood will
be generally brought about the disease being changed
to acute, few large doses of Pills and few days
confinement tc the house will change the chron-
cally diseased individual to a sound man. This
is no figure OF the imagination it be proved by
thousand matter of fact men who have experienced it.
Remember in all cases OF disease, matter whether
it be a cold or cough, whether it be rheumatism or
pleursy; whether it be ypus fever and ague, bill
ous fever cramp whooping cough measles; weth-
er it be scarlet fever small pox: that the Pills
known Brandreths Pills will surely dc more than all
the medicines ofthe Drug stores for your restoration
to health, and what is more, will surely do you no
