The Greensboro (Ky.) American gives
the particulars of the affray which took
place near that town, by which two men
were killed and several others wounded.
The quarrel was about fence, we
have stated, old Mr.. Payne having for
hidden the Turnbulls to join him att GER
tain PORT in his line. The Turnbulls
persisted in putting up the fence. and on
last Monday evening old Mr.. Payne, &C.
companied by his three sons, repaired to
the spot for the purpose of tearing the
fence down. The Turnbulls, who were
at work short distance off, rushed to
the spot and commenced an attack upon
old man Payne, who Immediately called
his sons to his aid, and in few moments
the two Turn,ulls were reinforced by their
mother and five sisters, and then COM
menced dreadful conflict with knives
aud clubs, which did not end until both
parties were well nigh exterminated.--
Old man Payne and his son George were
found dead upon the ground, the former
with fourteen the latter with nine stabs
in his body The two other young
Paynes and the two Turnbulls, William
and George. were also found upon the
ground, all badly wounded. the former
with knives the latter with clubs. Sew
eral of the women were badly bruised and
crippled.
a Millerite Convention was last week
in session at New York, endeavoring to
fix the day again for the final end of all
things. One of their prophets, MIR. Reed,
declared he was ready with positive
proofs, to convince them that Christ
would come before the Odd day of July
next.--But the convention were not en-
tirelv satisfied with the proofs, and
kicked at the idea of his fixing another
day, especially so soon. When the 23d
Of July arrives, we. shall see what we
shall see.

CO Our friend of the South Bend
Register, lis awfu!ly" put out BY our
allusion to an attack of some ANONYMOUS
writer in that paper, relative to the
course of DIR. FITcH. We think our
friend is over sensitive. He repeats.
that he will not tell who '.Vindex'' is.
We were not aware that any one con-
sidered his communication Of sufficient
importance to enquire into their author
ship.
Our friend of the Register implies that
his statement that Dr. Fitch intended to
challenge Vindex was joke. We, like
many others, thought it was intended to
for effect. We acknowledge the corn
and are glad, for the Registers sake, that
We were mistaken.
We wish our friend Colfax, to under
stand distinctly. that we don't believe
the "moon is made of green cheese any
more than We believe the editor of the
Register will be elected next August 10
Congress.
Oar friend, we think, views the canine
allusion too seriously--at least more so
than we intended or expected that he
would. However, we "trust" the Reg
lister "will recover" $50, it NAV be as.
sured that after he gets acquainted with
us, he will learn that we" are as slow 10
"abuse" any one as he possibly can be,
and more particularly one towards whom
we have already expressed, and still
entertain, personally, the best kind o.
feeling.

Freshcf In Yellow River.

Owing to the heavy rains during the
past week. the River, at this point, rose
TO a height on Thursday last, never
before witnessed by our oldest set

the immediate vicinity of town were

ings located there, the occupants might
have set in the cupboard and caught cat
fish in the parlorl

unusually high, and we expect to hear of

IIIrDOr Bill.

OF the many who have complained Of
the General for not supporting that bill
as it was presented to him, how few
know anything about it; how very few
care, whether his views were right or
wrong. provided they can find fault
And yet if that bill had been dissected
and separated, and vote taken separate
ly OH each appropriation, scarcely one of
those who find so much fault would have
voted. (if they had been in tie same re-
sponsible situation,) for one half Of those
places for which appropriations were
asked. Why, such a system carried out i,
would cost twice as much as the Next.
can war, and in time would bankrupt the
nation; appropriations were asked for
certain places, where no estimate of the
expense had been made BY the officers of
government; appropriations were asked
for the improvement Of rivers that began
and ended in one State; that had not ev
en- (what Mr.. Webster calls) an odor of
nationality about them. Suppose the
principles adopted by Jackson on this
subject had been applied to that bill,
how many democrats would have been
willing TO support it? Why then. should
Gen. Cass be called upon as the first to
break down that article of our creed?
He was willing then, as he had before
done, to vote for a bill when the improv-
ment was national in its object-when
the cost had been estimated and approx
ed BY men of judgement and experience,
and the necessity of the country require
il But he would not, and could not as
| an honest man, support every foolish and
improvident expenditure that had been
put in the bill for the purpose of buying
votes: he is too sagacious to be caught In
, that trap, too honest to squander the pub
/ lie money for private purposes. Our
Lake harbors aud our rivers need improve
ment. and much money we hope will yet
be expended upon them, but let it be
done in accordance with the spirit of the
constitution for national purposes for the
commercial transaction of at least more
than one State, community or indiyidu-

We believe that every fami IS should
be possessed of home. and that home
should be sacred. exempt from execution
by law; and we also, believe, that the
public or the unocupied lands belonging
to this Government, should be donated
to the landless in limited quantities; (say
LOG acres) they becomeing actual settlers

revenue. We therefore mutually pie dye

person for any public Office, who will
have an influence either directly or indi
rectiy, unless he will pledge himself to
us in writing. to use all the influence in
his power to stop the sale of the land,

use and ocupation, and to carry out the
principles, set forth in the above &c.
