Yancey's Murder of DIR. Earle.

The fact that W. L. Yancey killed his un-
Gle, DR.. Earle, of South Carolina, has been
stated in general terms, hut the details have
not been given. DR.. Earle lived one mile and
d half west of Greenvillt where his widow
still resides. if alive. 4 few hundred yards
distant is an old field. sometimes used for
practicing on horseback, but more frequently
resorted to as a underground This was
the occasion of a DTiLI-nllster, when DR..
Earle's son, about ten years DID, went on the
ground, as all boys seek to do, and during
their wheeling and turning, the boy got in
the way. 1ancey ordered him to get out of
the way, but the boy, in his confusion, got
more and more in the way, whereupon Yam
cey dashed him most numerically with
horse-whip. DR.. Earle was not at home, but
on returning home through the town, friend
told him how cruelty Yancey had treated his
SON. DIR. Earle called on Yancey for an ex-
planation-1a ncey told him that the boy had
been very insolent, and that he had slapped
his jaws. DIR. Earle replied that be had served
him right. When Dr.. Earle reached nome.
and learned the facts, and found that Yancey
had lied to him, he returned to Greenville i'm
search of him. Yancey knowing the pluck
of DR.. Etrle, and that he would be detected
IN the falsehood, prepared himself for fight.
DIR. Earle found Gancey on DIR. Crittenden's
porch, and In marching upon him was SHOT
down by 1aucey with pistol. These are the
facts as We have them from one born and
reared in that vicinity. The tact that be was
convicted upon tIial, and imprisoned. and af
forwards became the subject of Executive
clemency, cOrrobOrates the truth of this YER
sion. This is the man who procured the dis
raption OF the Democratic party, and the no.
mlnatioa of Breckinridge! -Knor. Wing.

ence in Congress has qualified me to become
somewhat intimately acquainted with the

Mr.. Stephens spoke with much earnestness
on this subject, and that Ire religiously be-

who have been travelling in various parts of
