settlc the matter personally and come TO

The young gentlemen, recognizing the
Justice uf this parental advice, consented
to an amicablc settlement by referring tho
question to the lady herself. With this IN
view, the confused trio went into tho par

TROUBLE WITH THE NEGROES IN KENTUC-
KY.-The Paducah (Ky.) Herald gives the
following account of negro affray which
recently took place in that neighborhood !:
A difficulty occurred last Friday evening
on the farm of James Key, about SIX miles
below Florence, in which three negroes
were killed. The circumstances, as re-.
lated to us by a gentleman who heard
them given in the immediate vicinity, are
these: Key had in his employment about
one hundred and fifty negroes, a large num-
Der of them discharged soldiers. They
were rolling some barrels of meal into the
yard, when Key told them not to handle
the barrels so roughly.
Upon this, one of the negroes replied
You had better go back to the house and
stay there, you id gray-headed old ras-
cal, and Immediately attacked Key. He
threw him down and took a pistol away from
him. Two thernegroes then came up and
took the pistol away from him and handed
ii back to Key. The negro made asecond
attack, whcreupon Key shot him down and
retreated to the house and barricaded the
door. In few moments the house was sur
rounded by about seventy-five negroes, all
armed. They battered down the door, and
as they entered he killed two of them with
double barrelled gun. The negroes re-
treated. They attempted to fire the house,
but the majority opposed it, and 1t was
abandoned.
In the mean time news Of the affair got
to Florence, and squad of men went
down to the scene of action, summoned
every one of the negroes to appear at court
as witnesses against Key, and arrested him
and put him in Jail. This was done topro-
tect him from the Infatuated negroes. He
will of course stand his trial. The citizens
throughout that country are considerably
alarmed, fearing a general rising of the
negro population. We know the above
statement can be relied on, as we received
it from q reliable gentleman.

4 DUEL IN THE DARK-We are in

A DUEL IN THE DARK.--We are in
formed that on Saturday night last
bloody rencontre took place between
two men in the baggage car of pas
seneer train on the Nashville and De
catur Railroad. The difficulty started
in passenger coach, and was the re
suit of a dispute in regard to the quail
ity of the whiskey each carried. Both
were probably more or less ntoXica-
ted.
The conductor ordered them to leave
the car, if they wanted to settle the
matter, and not to be disturbing the
balance of the passengers.
The two then repaired to the bag
gage car, and after pacing off the pro
per distance, wheeled, and at a given
signal, fired their pistols. Neither OF
them appeared to be hurt after the
shots.
At that moment the only light in the
car, which shone from a lantern held
by the person who gave the signal,
were out suddenly, and the duelllsts
then grasped their knives and sprang
upon each other like tigers, cutting
and slashing at fearful rate. They
are both probably dead, or if living,
terribly lacerated.
Our informant did not learn the re-
suit of the affair, or the names of the
parties. The noise of the swiftly
moving train deadened the sound OF
the bloody conflict, and it is probable
that very little is known about it
