NEIGHBoRHooD DISCUSSION IN CAROLINA.
A correspondent of the Petersburg (Va)
Erpress, writing from Gates, N. c., gives
the following account of a most brutal and
desperate fight:
ga man named Jackson accused his
neighbor Davis of having stolen some
of his hogs; and on last Friday evening,
in walking around his farm, he discovered
three of Davis children on his land, where
upon be carried one of them home with
him. The two other children returned
home and told their parents what had hap
pened. Infuriated, they armed themselves
with guns, axes, and knives, and soon pre-
sented themselves at Jackson's house where
general fight ensued, in which both men,
women, and children participated. They
shot until their ammunition gave out, and
then closed in with axes, knives and gun
barrels. During the shooting, son of
jackson, mere boy, was killed BY lit is
thought) son of Davis, also a lad
Seven of the party were dangerously woun-
ded-one of the women having received q
broken arm, and, it is said about fifty buck
shot! From all accounts they fought as
long as they could, and quit with mutual
consent. The surviving parties have been
arrested and placed in the county Jail to
aMait trial."
A short time since Abner Christian, of
Bedford, Louisiana, ran off two of his
mothers negroes. Followed into the
woods, his own course was stopped by
charge of buckshet in his legs, and he,
with the negroes, was lodged in Jail.

The New Orleans Delta of the 9th

hour; duel took place between two gen.
tlemen from Alabama, in the section of
the Metairie Bridge. The parties fought
with bayonets fixed on muskets. The gen
tlemen met each other in gallant style, and
after few passes and guards, one thrust
his bayonet in the left shoulder of the 9TH
err, and completely lifted him off the
ground. They then left the ground with
their friends, the wounded gentleman be-
ing in somewhat dangerous condition.

PATENT Rock DR,LL.-Messrs L. f. Cush-
man and j. S. French of this county, have
procured a patent for piece Of machinery
entitled Rock Drill, which, from having
seen the same in operation, we feel confident
is bound to prove popular and useful in
vention. Its construction is SO simple, and
the power demanded to work it, so slight,
that boy of sixteen, with one hand, may
apply the force which requires two men, old
style, and perform fully twice the amount Of
labor. But we shall have more to say on
this subject hereafter, when the inventors
are prepared to enter the market for the sale
of their machines.
