CHRIsTiASSBURG, feDruary ~, 1900
Messrs. Editors,-Our peaceful community
has been disturbed of late by several very sad
occurrences. Not long since quite number
of our young men went over to Floyd Court
house to attend 3 tournament. On their re-
turn, young man, under the influence OF
liquor saw a young lady picking up chips on
the side of the road, when, without any pro-
vocation, he wheeled his horse, drew pistol,
and shot her in the hip, infiicting pain
full though not mortal wound lie theh
Colonel Robert Preston, formerly in com
mand of the Twenty-eighth Virginia
regiment, received from two of his former
slaves very insulting letter, threatening TO
return, and speaking of powder and ball.
Yesterday they came up on the train and got
off at this depot. Some time in the night they
went to his house, and he, finding them there,
and having forbid their coming on the place,
went out to order them away, when they
commenced firing and fired ten or twelve times,
happily not striking him. In the mean time
he was swapping his pistol at them, as it had
been loaded sometime and would not fire.
But at last one barrel fired and the
ball struck one Of the negroes in the leg.
They then tried to make their escape, but
Colonel Smith (son of Governor Smith)
being there, seized the gun and ran out TO
Colonel Preston's assistance. He mounted
his horse and pursued until he came in shoot
ing distance, when he ordered them to halt, as
surfing them that he would fire If they did not.
They then halted, and were taken to Blacks
burg before magistrate, who committed
them to Jail. They are here tonight under
guard, as our Jail has never held single prise
ner that was ever confined there /; and TO-
morrow they will be sent down TO Salem to
await the action of the courts, or of the Freed
mems Bureau. We have no such institution
here now, thanks to President Johnson. l
have not heard any cause assigned Tor TINS
wanton attempt upon the life of our noble,
kind hearted citizen. They formerly belonged
to Colonel Preston, but went off with some OF
the raiding parties, and have since been SOL
diers in the United States colored yolun-
teers. They acknowledged before the magis-
trate that they sent the impertinent letter
alluded to above Yours, &c. II.

Garrison at his Old Tricks.

The late speech of Mr.. LLOYD GARRISON, at
the Academy Of Music, Brooklyn, in its Jaco
binical spirit and revolutionary violence, is
the maddest and most malignant utterahce
which has yet been evoked by the wise and
patriotic policy Of the Government. The
President is called traitor; the Capital de-
clared to be in greater danger from Mr. JOHN
SON than it ever was before. Mr.. SEWARD is
addressed: "How art thou fallen, oh Lucifer,
"son Of the morning 1t had been better for
" thee to have died beneath the stabs OF the
/" assassin PAYNE than to have survived and
forwarded such besotted telegram to the
I" Presidential leader Of the rebel and copper
"head forces of the country. God may forgive
"you, but betrayed people never will" He
speaks of the President: ~ tell you we have
"not sober man in the Presidential chair,
land such man, with such habits, does not
"know from day TO day, and hour to
"hour, what he will do. He means, if he
"dare, to perform coup d'etat, and either to
"insist at the point Of the bayonet upon
"haying those Southern rebels put into both
Houses Of Congress, or drive Congress out Of
"the Capitol. So long as General GRANT
elves, and occupies his present position, per-
chaps his tyrannical demand may not be
made" The Presidents remark on the pos.
sibility Of his assassination, is spoken OF as
one intended to imperil the lives Of SUMNER
and STEVENS. GARRISON says that JOHNSON
will be responsible for whatever of violence
grows out Of his order He says he ought to
be impeached for his 22d Of February
speech, and dismissed from office. The rawlings
of this lunatic, and other madmen, will have
no other effect than to increase the public dis
trust and execration Of such enemies Of their
country and Of mankind.

MORE EFFECTS OF THE TBTo.-FoRSEY and
others are publishing what they call effects OF
the veto. In the list of these awful results Of
President JoHSsoN's obdnracy we suppose may
be classed recent telegram from Washington,
stating that Mr. MCKEE, Of Kentucky, had just
received half dozen letters, reciting the most
shocking details of crueltes by whites to ne.
croes. One of these will suffice for the whole
"a party of white men went to the house OF an
cold negro, nearly eighty years Of age and
freeman nearly all his life, robbed him OF his
:. money and kicked him to death then raked the
Goals from the fire, and, putting him over
them, roasted first one side then the other"
Two other cases are mentioned, in which
two negroes were shot and robbed of-what do
you suppose p" all their families J" AND
vet the perpetrators were discharged upon
ha6eas corpus by the Circuit Court OF the dis
trict
These stories are actually telegraphed to re-
spectacle New York papers and published,
and are paraded as new proofs OF the I'm
goyernable character of the Southern people.
1t should be remembered that the State in
which these horrors are located was in the
Union during the war, and is now fully repre-
sented in Congress. So that the reported bru-
talities are all in the family" and throw
softened and mellow light over those charged
upon the South-not even excepting the mem
orable case Of the whipping OF negroes near
Fayetteville, N c., and the leaving OF them
tied to trees during a terrible storm !; all OF
which was, of course, fiction. But the nc
ton makers will have to invent something
more horrible than this Kentucky affair before
we are made worse than themselves.

The usual banquet was given by the new
Lord Mayor of London on the 9th inst All
the Cablnet Ministers were present The
Earl OF Derby, in his speech, said the Min
lstry desired to earn the good will of the
people by their acts, but he thought it
Would not be well at present to state how
they proposed to carry their desire into
effect, He rejoiced at the return of peace
IN both hcmispheres. He could not but
belleve that that great and powerful ma
ton, America, would speedily know how to
quell the agitation which at present exist
ed within 1t, and that peace would reign
from one end of its shor es to the other.
He looked upon the completion of the At
lantlc cable as another proof that England
was mistress of the seas.
The London Times says that Derby made
one of his happiest after-dlnner speeches
and 1t notices, as of great Importance, the
lntlmatlon that q proposition for the ar
rangement of the difference between Eng
land and America with respect to the Ala
bama claim would be favorab!y entertained
and that the duties of neutrals in mara

that he Will propose in his budget that the
Government assume all debentnres of rail

How THE RELEASE OF THE ANDER-
SON PRISONERS WAS OBTAINED
Baltimore Sun, in alluding to the re-
cent release of Messrs. Keyes, Bvrem
and Showers, says:
They were demanded by the civil
authority, under a writ of hubeas
corpus issued by Judge Hall, the
District Judge of the United States
Tor the District Of Delaware. Judge
Hall IS magistrate venerable alike
by his years, and by the dignity and
hrnaness with which he has, through
long career, administered his high
Office. The mandate of his court was
obeyed, TIE prisoners were brought
before him, and after patient hear
ing of the case, they were discharged.
on the express ground that, accord
ing to the law of the land, the pri-
soners ought not to and cannot be
held under the commuted sentence
OF this military commission, and that
they be discharged"
