inst, Edward Bryant youth of about IA years. son
of Rev. Samuel S. Bryant, was drowned under the
following circumstances: He and young lady,
Miss Shelton, set out that day to go to German
ton North Carolina, where his father lives. Soon
after leaving heavy rain fell, from which they took
shelter in house the road. After the rain had
ceased they went and in few hundred yards
came to a small spring branch which was swollen to
very great height, though not SO much as to swim
their horse or float their buggy, as they thought
They catered the stream and, at that moment, some
heavy logs were driftcd against the buggy, upset
ting it. and throwing them both out into the water.
They were both washed off by the rapid and angry
current and young Bryant never seen afterwards
The young lady, forty fifty yards below the ford
was fortunate as to catch hold bush, but even
with this aid she could not get out, encountered as
she was by her wet clothing and she had the pres
cnce OF mind to dvest hersefo of her dresses, with
one hand whilst she chung to the bush with the 9TH
cf She supposcs that she in the water at least
malt an hour, and was in state of complete exhaus-
uon when she got out; and reached the house they
mad just left. The body of young Bryant had not
been found, at the last accounts. He was well
known in Danville, and was most promising and
SPrghtly boy. His melancholy death will be long
regretted by his numerous acquaintance and school

resistance they 'would cut his throat" Col Wheeler
however, broke loose from the negroes and rushing a
his slaves appealed to policeman to aid him. who
fused to do so, saying he no slavecatcher" The
whole movement appears to have been planned with much

On Thursday Col. Wheeler obtained a hearing before
Judge Kane and Williamson and four five of the free

of ha6eus corpus issued commanding Williamson pro-
