The DfmcuIfy In Georgetown, 9. G.

GEoRGErowN, S. c., September 3, 1859.
Messrs Editors I'm view of the late unfortunate
difficulty that occurred here the lst inst, which re-
suited in the death of of most esteemed young
citizens II NAV be proper to give you and
biased statement Of the facts Of the case bout three
weeks ago. Leonard Dozer, Jr., armed with club, at
tackled the deceased at night his antagonist was with
out any weapons of defence at the tmean gave him
severe beating, to cOntne him to his ROOM
until two days preceding the sad aray writing
Of Mr. Evans impelled by a strong sense of injury,
determined to have redress upon the person OF DOZer
on Thursay between the hours of one and two O'Clock
seeing young Dozer passing Munros store, attacked
him with stick Witnesses Evans strike at Dozer,
who received the blow on his left arm at the time
drawing repeater with which he fired at his antago-
mist FIVE times three shots taking effect the person OF
Evans killing him instantly. While the deceased was
sinking the ground Dozer fired the hth barrel at him.
and while he was lying prostrate his enemy approached
the diving man, and snapped and exploded barrel at
him.
The sad cause Of this amentabe tragedy can be traced
to family matters ground which decacy forbds to
do more than touch upon. Mr. Evans, then, suffice 1t
to saw was and has been for some time past attentive
to sister OF Leonard Dozier Jr and for reason,
unknown his attentions although av0raby received by
the young lady, discouraged by her family. 1t was
while he was the act of handing Miss Dozer into her
fathers premises, after having accompanied her home,
ATTENDED by her brother Leonard and OF her sisters
that the attack made upon him by Leonard Dozer
Jr., which we first alluded to.
This tragic occurrence has cast gloom en-
tire community Regret for the fallen bus filed every
bosom His character stood high among us for all that
was honorable and his general department was without
reproach. Peace to ms manes." AS Gods minister
most eelingly remarked at his burial, He died like
man. with his face his foe having received his bullets
in his breast"
Of tile unfortunate young who has thus taken the
life of elow-beng it behooves US not to speak, but
may his act prove warning to all of the snfulness yea
the unmanness of carrying concealed weapons upon
ones person
Leonard Dozer, Jr., not arrested, but delivered
himself at the Jail this Saturday morning between the
hours of eight and nine oclock-the father our only
sident magistrate, refusing to give up his son.

The MORAL EFFECT OF ITALIAN MoDEKAT1oN.-We
copy the following from the London respondence of
the National Inteligencer. tvividy depicts what It.
ally is gaining by assuming moderate but firm attitude
Would such be tie sympathy of the world in her behalf
if she roted in the ultra and tumutuous orgies of fana-
teism and Red Republicansm, through which Mazzini
would e1d her?
We rejoice in the reassuring attitude OF Italy It
presents to unexpected and touching spectacle
Italy reused from sleep it by the war-cry
of Piedmont Young men every where left the college,
the bar the desk the shop and the field, to swell the
ranks of heroes, were the middeaged old
men unsmitten by the general enthusiasm. And what
is the attitude of Italy at this period of angered and
gushed feeling? Does she show herself to be that
land of assassns which the Imperalists at Vienna and
the Priests Rome and every where else would ,have
believe her to be? Most assuredly not Her attu-
de and her entire bearing and carriage grand and
truly dgnifed aud noble Deserted by her friends she
takes refuge in herself Camiy collecting her remaining
forces she awaits the DEGREES of Europe her tate
We hear OF Msznian conspiracies of neither tumut
robbery, nor riot. Could Italy do more? The moral
effect of this moderation will not be lost. The ndepen
denee of Italy has become question Of prime Euro
pean Importance, and can again sink into even a
secondary place. The spirit of the Italian people has
been stirred, and they have learned n this brief
paign what may be done by united, well organized and
resolute effort"
