Of Russell and Wise and part Of buchanan
counties.
GENTLEMEN AT the solicitation of MANY
of the citizens of Wise, and also of citizens Of
Russell county. have announced myself q
candidate to represent you in the House Of
Delegates Of Virginia.
In doing SO, ask the voters of the county
Of Russell, to remember that the county Of
Wise has had no immediate representative
since its organization years ago. She
has asked no Office whatever at the hands Of
the people Of Russell, but upon The other
hand, has responded promptly and cheeriully
to all calls made upon her for support by the
people Of Russell county. This being the
case. the people Of Wise have thought it
simply an act Of justice to them, that they
should have from their OWN county,. one Of
the two Delegates to which the people Of Rus
sell and Wise are entitled. hope, therefore.
that it will be the pleasure of the people Of
the counties Of Russell and Buchanan. to sup
port the candidate from Wise. Should / be
elected, l would support every measure in
the Legislature calculated to promote the in
terests Of the people Of Virginia, and the in.
terests and honor Of the Confederate States.
Believing it to be the duty Of every man
that can to raise corn and provisions, I shall
not trouble the farmers Of the county, by can
vassing every neighborhood in the district,
but shall remain at home to make something
to eat. Respectfully,
A. W. SMITH,
Wise county, "a.

An Exciting shooting Affair.

Robert e. Diron, Clerk Of the House Of Re
pa St personalities, KlJled.
An affair occurred on yesterday afternoon
about two O'clock on the corner of Bank anc
Tenth streets, which resulted in the death o.
Robt. E. Dixon, Clerk of the Confederate
House of Representatives, who was sho
through the heart by Roberts I. Ford, unit
recently journalizing clerk for the same body
under Dixon, From the statements of wit
nesses, and persons intimate with the parties
and cognizant Of the main facts connected
with the affair, we present the following par.
.ticnlars:
Mr. Dixon was citizen of Columbus, Ga,
where his family, consisting of a wife and
three children, reside. His age was about
five feet four inches in height, of muscular
frame, dark complexion, with black hair and
whiskers. In manners he was polite, and in
habits somewhat retired, though social and
cornwall among friends Upon the meeting of
the regular Congress of the Confederate
States, at its opening session, in December,
1861, Mr.. Dixon was elected Clerk Of the
House, and having the appointment Of his as
sistants, he selected as Journalizing Clerk,
Robert Z. Ford, native of Kentucky.
Mr.. Ford is young man Of scarcely more
than twenty-seven years of age. He has
wife, now residing in Amelia county, Vir-
8lnia, and in no condition to receive the news
Ct this unfortunate occurrence in personnel.
Mr. Ford is slender, some five feet eight inches
N height. of light. complexion, light, curly
hair, and wears q light moustache. He rare
" appeared in company, and seemed to nav
attention to his duties
Some recent delays in the writing up Of the
Journals. it appears caused Mr.. Dixon to
make some complaint about them, and on
Wednesday evening or Thursday morning he
discharged him from the post. During the
day, on Thursday, letter was received bv
Mr.. Dixon, at his desk in the House. which
proved to be from Ford, in which he gave
feview of his past conduct as iournalizing
clerk, and closed by intimating that if he were
not reinstated by five o'clock that evening.
Dixon might expect an attack on sight.
!. He was not reinstated, and the presump-
ton is, Mr.. Dixon prepared himself for the
emergency. Early yesterday afternoon Mr..
Dixon, while walking down Main street, un-
derstood that Ford was looking for him in the
vicinity, and taking the advice of friends, he
went into store for the purpose Of avoiding
him. After remaining some time. he went
out passed up Tenth street, and upon reach
ing the southeast corner, he encountered
Ford, who was approaching on the north side
