Dear Sri would respectfully ask if it bo
true that you have offered to 60 JEFF. Davis
bail for his release. Also, if the above be
true, why you did not try to obtain bail for

obtaining your views on so important point.
In the meantime, remain,
Very respectfully, yours,

at Hodges Depot, Abbeville District, en- the
Greenvlle and Columbia Railroad, whilst re-
turning to his homain this village, after all
absence of several years. The circumstances
of this tragedy, were substantially Us follows {:
Upon the arrival Of the train at Hodges,
PaytOn left the cars and walked into the piaz

ner; he was immediately accosted BY one
Golden, who'is represented as white man,
hut whose instincts and passions are as fierce
au, brutal as the savage, in q rough voice,
demanding TO know what he wanted, .raceiv.
ed the reply in respectful manner, that he
desired to get something to eat. Golden, at
this pnint. discovered that he wore q watch
and chain, made an effort to possess himself
of them. He succeeded in getting the chain,
which was broken off from the watcl; he
then demanded the watch, threatening to
shoot him if lie did not Instantly deliver it to
him. Paytcn not complying with the demand,
he drew a repeater, aud, with 6endish '!elio-
eration:fredi il, the ball penetrating the abdc-
bmen of this, unfortunate mau. THIS man
Golden is represented as !: desperate. haTihg
shot snme two ur three persons within few
months pas:. We have been informed that
there was q warrant out for his arrest at the
time. After perpetratng this last crime he
fled. Theciizens armed themselves IS quick by
as the; could, and followed in pursuit, resolv
cd. if they came up with him, to take him
lead or alive, but he eluded ull search and is
yet at large.
payton, after he was shot, was placed
upon the cars and brought to this place, and
died as he was being taken from the depot to
the home of his brother. Up to the time ot
his leaving this community, he enjoyed the
confidence and respect of all who knew him
having established o reputation for honesty
aud industry that mcrited the approval Of all
his acqueintsnces.
