0ne OF the most bloody aifrays which ever
occurred in our country, was enacted in Car.
Isle. on Wednesday afternoon last. resulting in
The death Of one person and wounding Of an
other, il is feared, mortally. The facts, as we
have gathered them from persons who witness
ed the murder, and from The testimony at the
Coroner's inquest, are substantially as fol-
lows:
Two young men. Charles A Barber, aged 20,
and Benjamin. f. Lowell. aged 10. had quar-
rel with a man BY the name Of Abram Fulmer,
who lived in the house formerly occupied by
4. S. Barton, Esq. in Carlisle. The young
men asserted that Fulmer had thrown stones
at some young ladies who were passing his
house, which Fulmer did not denv. but declar.
ed he would stone any person who would in
suit his wife. &c Words ran high between
the parties, and finally Fulmer challenged
them to fight him with bowie knives. This
Lowell declined to do, but said they would
FIGHT him with rifles This was about half
past six O'Clock p NJ. Barber and Lowell then
left the field, and went TO Charles Wack S
house, where they we're employed in harvest
ing procured each gun, which they loaded,
and returned TO the field where Fulmer was at
work Lowell carried rifle and Baber shot
gun They found Fulmer and his wife
in the field, near an old u1lenanted house on
the hill, and after approaching within about
eight PAGES Of them, Lowell told them they had
come to have that fight, Fulmer turned TO take
a pitchfork from his wife's hand, when Lowell
fired, the ball missing Fulmer and inlicting a
ghastly wou d on the side Of the woman S
head. She uttered a groan and fell bleeding
and senseless upon the grass. Fumer pursu-
ed them with the ptehfork several rods, when
Lowell, having received the loaded shot Gun
from the hands Of Barber. shot him THROUGH
the body, and he ran a few steps and fyll. and
instantly expired. The charge entered the
right breast and passed through the superior
lobe Of the right breast long, portion londg-
ING in his heart, and portion passing
through the right aurice of the heart into the
left lung.
The woman was carried to the house, and
Dr. Steele, Of 0rbelin, was summoned to at
tend her The ball entered in the lower part
of the ear and passed through the mouth AT
our latest advices she was not expected to re-
cover. Lowell and Barber returned to Wack S
and told what they had done, where they were
arrested about ten o clock in the evening AMI ia
ken to Orbelin. They had hearing before
Esq. Allen, and were sent TO Jail to await their
trial by jury of their counlrymen.--Eiyrid

The "Umitcd Democracy

The Albany Argus, exclaims with great fer
vor and with deep modification.
"IIow long is the democratic party in thi;
State to be disgraced by such associations ?
Was there ever more disreputable coalition
anywhere than that known as 1.-THE united dc.
mocracy of New York 2
There probably never was and what may
be said Of the "Untcd Democracy of New
York" would apply with equal truth and pow
ey to that larger and more "disreputable coal
ilion" which last Summer overshadowed the
whole Republic, aud resulted in the elevation
of PIERCE.
Locofacoism is certainly in bad way. The
autumnal frosts will witness its demotion.--

"PIeiIIOTiC''---IgnIm.
CarrolIton, 0, Aug. 8, '53.

Mr. EDITOR The little communication
which appeared in the last Free Press, under
the charge Of your predecessor, Mr.. Crosier,
seems to have stirred "Plelhoric" up to des-
perate pitch, and brought to his aid another
Hon ! "Plethoric," whose position, most Ger.
tainly warrants me in the opinion that he has
''cOmc down" by noticing squib from 'One Of
the B'hoys."
The Hon y seems to be well verscd in the
category of bar room epijhets, as is made
manifest in his application to zone of the
Bhoy's" such names as "whiskey-suckng,
beer-guzzling, night-rowlies." Perhaps the
reason why he uses those very chaste, nice
little words is because he himself was at one
time placed in the position to have them throw
ed at him with all thsir force The gentle
man, (G)l save the mlrk, Is earnestly solicit.
ed to publish a list of those who have recently
reformed But the Hon, who has lent his aid
in trying to put down worthy young men, in or
der to hide the guilt of Others, and to secure a
conviction in the minds of some scrupulous
democrats, thata certain "Son of iniquity',
had reformed, and was thereby entitled to the
far0r Of the next assemblage of dema-gQgaes, is
hereby informed, that no such reformation has
taken place,
| would ask the Hon. and his friend "across
the way" Plothoric" If they expect to &C.
complish anything for Temperance Reform by
thus meanly traducing young mems characters
who have never done thing, in any manner
whatever, to njure or disturb them in their So
cial relations, Do you, gentlemen, expect to
bring about the reformation of any young man
or bhOy by such course Of conduct? We're
you reformed in this manner? Did persons
older drire you to reformation, by meanly
back biting and slandering your characters to
those whom you could not defend yourselves
to--because previous difficulties interviewed
and prevented you addressing them
would suggest to this pair of sage "Pleth-
orics" to just drop the subject, as they will
never find anything but resentment from those
whose characters they have tried to ruin with
their vile aud slanderous tongues. If some of
the young men Of Carrollton have erred in
their way, It's only because such Woats fret
ormation lead the column of modcrn rctormers !;
and should they be brought down to drunk
ards grave, | suppose these two "wise men of
the times" can apply the consolation to their
souls by knowing that 'this work is ours."-
We robbed these of their characters, and they
in hei' ceokaeSS, found in the cup of intoxica-
ton elements to drown their sorrow"
