HoMIcIDE.-In this city yesterday MORN
ing, between six and seven O'Clock. an unfor-
tunate dispute arose between Nicholas Carr
and Willie P. Keith, who reside on Sixth.
between Hanover and Brunswick streets.
which resulted in the death of Willie P.
Keith at the hands of Carr
The circumstances as in evidence are as fol-
lows:
Keith and Carr live on adjoininglots. On
Yesterday Keith went out. axe in hand, to
knock down the fence separating the lots
Carr then appeared and ordered him to de-
sist. Keith replied that the fence was on his
own property and that he would do as he
pleased with his own. Carr then denounced
him with curse and went into his house
and returned with pistol in his hand, pre-
sented. He approached Keith, when iro-
ther of the deceased, Israel F. Keith, fearing
that there would be blOodshed, threw him
self IN between them. Carr then snapped
his pistol at Keith, and in return Keith struck
him in the face with the axe which he had
lifted into position of self-defense as Carr
approached. Carr then continued, Israel F.
Keith being between him and the deceased,
to make efforts to get shot by shifting his
position. The wife of Willie P. Keith came
out and endeayored to reach Carr, who was
still presenting his pistol. and saw the fatal
shot fired. Keith was killed instantly.
A jury of inquest returned a verdict in ac-
cordance with the facts
The matter was investigated subsequently
by James Shackelford. Esq, Deputy Special
Magistrate; and after the question as to
whether the killing was murder or ;nanslaugh
ter was ably argued by Hon. r. S. French
and Jno. L. Holmes, Esq, for the prosecution
and Hon. Geo Davis and NJ. London, ESQ.,,
for the defense, the court decided to admit
Mr.. Carr to bail in the sum of $1,000. Mr..
Carr sustains IA good reputation, and has not
the character of being violent man, SD far
as we have been able to learn.
We have given an epitome of the evidence.
as the whole is too lengthy for publication;
in the main it will be found to be entirely
correct. = WILMINGTON Dispatch.

ADVICE WHICH SHOULD BE FOLLOW
Ep.-We notice that many of the South
ern papers are advising the people OF
the late rebellious States ofabstain from
national politics, take no interest in the
affairs of the Federal Government, and
to devote themselves to agriculture and
to the improvements which are so much
needed in their section. Although this
advice is given for a sinister purpose,
we trust the people of the South will
not fail to act upon it. We assure
them it will be beneficial both to them
selves and to the people Of the North.
We would prefer, of course, that they
would comply with the terms of resto-
ration submitted by Congress, and take
fair share of interest in the conduct of
the General Government. But if they
are determined to indulge in sullen
disposition because they cannot have
things their own way, it is better that
they should take out their revenge in
cultivating the soil and pursuing other
useful and profitable avocations. They
have already had a surfeit of politics.
Previous to the rebellion the majority
of the Southern people did little else
beside discuss politics and hold all the
offices under fhe General Government.
They did this to the neglect of every
thing else. Their leaders and teachers
are late gi~ing them good advice;
but if they follow it they will find
marked change in their section in a few
years. With as good natural advan-
tages, and in some respect even better,
the South is at least half a century be-
hind the North. If her people give up
politics and betake themselves to the
useful employments which have made
the North what it is, they may indulge
the hope that at no distant day they
will make up what they have lost in the
past time Wash. ChronicIe.

Tournaments.

Nero fddled while Rome was burn
ing:
fairs, those exhibitions of the prosperity,
energy, intelligence and true manhood
of people, the South is amusing her.
self BY shows, the most puerile and con-
temptible.
Instead of gatherings of wise and good
men, bent upon the physical, moral and
intellectual advancement Of the human
race; instead of "Teachers' Conven-
tions," Workingmen's Mass Meet
ings," Scientific Congresses" etc,
etc, what do we see here in the South?
Right on the heel of terribly devas-
ting war, the result of which radically
affected every interest, social and politi-
cal, moral and religious; with half her
territory yet in ruins; with million
and half of children, who will act
their part on the stage of life ere long,
growing up in ignorence for the want
Of an opportunity to obtain even the
rudiments of an education; with the so.
luton of problems on hand which re-
quire the profound deliberation of the
wisest and calmest minds, the South is
amusing herself with aping an era,
which was buried centuries ago.
The tournaments of old were suitable
to the rude age in which they were in
fashion. Stalwart knights handled
ponderous lances and weighty broad
swords, and the fierce charges they
made upon each other. often ended as
fatally as combat on the battlefield.
These pastimes Of the dark, feudal
ages would be eminently improper
now; and about as much are their puny,
puerile and contemplate counterfeits,
as exhibited in nearly every Southern
State.
The civilized world looks with pity
on the display of a taste which stamps
those who encourage and foster it as un-
worthy of the age in which they live.
That men and women, grown, claiming
to be the very cream of society, too,
should make grand State occasion of
an amusement which urchins between
the age of five and eight years are very
fond Of, aud which they hugely enjoy,
at ha'penny tilt at any ordinary
mountebank exhibition, is something
which mortals outeide the land of mod
ern chivalry are utterly unable to COM
prehend.
Arkansas has since the war been hap
PLY exempt from any of those puerile
exhibitions.
But 1t appears now that the fool-killer
has left the seed of a few Sancho Panza's
scattered here and there over the State,
for grand tournament is said to be in
contemplation of being held at Little
Rock, our capital.
Well, every one to his TASTE" but
as we see from the programme OF the
show, that mules are prohibited from
entering the lists, we would simply sug-
gest to extend the prohibition to horses
also, and allow none of the gallapt
Knights to straddle anything better
than a jackass or billygoat. -Arkaasas

On the 10th September, 1864, at the hat

in defence of the Southern cause. Upon the
breaking out of the war, like thousands of

an excellent citizen, modest gentleman, and
worthy Mason.
Paternal affection has sought out the grave
of the soldier son and brought the remains
to his cherished home, with the pious pur-
pose of depositing them in their native earth,
alongside of his cOmpatriots in arms, who
had preceded him in the last journey of life,
there to repose until the resurrection morn,
when the Grand Master of the Universe shall
re-unite their various parts with his disem-
bodied spirit in harmonious union, and sum.

A TOUCHING INCIDENTAL young man
and his wife were preparing to attend a
Christmas party at the house OF a friend,
some miles distant. Henry. my dear hus-
band, don't drink too much at the party to-
day; you will promise me, wont youa" said
she putting her hand upon h S brow, and
raising her eyes to his face with a pleading
smile mo, Mile, | will not; yon may
trust me" and she wrapped her infant in Il
soft blanket, and they descended. The
horses were soon prancing over the turf, and
pleasant conversation beguiled the way
Now don't forget your promise. whispered
the young wife, as they passed up the steps.
Poor thing, she was the wife of IL man who
loved to look upon the wine when red. The
party passed pleasantly; the time for depart
ure drew near; the wife descended from the
upper chamber to Join her husband. A pang
shot through her beating heart as she met
him. for he was intoxicated; he had broken
his promise. Silently they rode homeward,
save when the drunken man broke into
snatches of song. or unmeanlng laughter
But the wife rode on, her babe pressed close
ly 10 her grieved heart. Give me the baby,
Mile | can't trust you with him." he said,
as they approached a dark and swollen
stream. After some hesitation she resigned
her first born-her darling babe, clcsly wrap
ped in great hlanket-to his arms. Over
the dark waters the noble steed safely bore
them; and when they reached the bank. the
mother asked for her child With much
care and tenderness he placed the bundle in
her arms; but when she clasped it to her
heart no babe was there it had slipped from
the blanket, and the drunken father knew it
not. A wild shrek from the mother aroused
him, and he turned round just in time to see
the little rosy face rise one moment above the
dark waters, then sink forever, and that by
his own intemperance. The anguish of the
mother and remorse of the father are better
imagined than Described GIGsgo@ Neus.

of the cabinet yesterday, at which the Pres
ident produced portions of his annual mes
sage on Mexican affairs. If Minister Camp
bell and General Sherman find that neither
Maximilian nor the French intend to leave
Mexico, the President will recommend Wig
orous action to hasten their departure. The
belief is entertained that the French Empe-

until the French troops are withdrawn.
The Imperialist states that Macmillan
went to Orizava to obtain news of his wife,
