Fight AT ST. Mnry'~, West VirEimin---
The IIImC JnClGct Rl,nimNt thc G;rnH.

From a gentleman who was an eye
witness of the affair, we learn that on
last Wednesday very lively row and
severe fight took place i'll the lovely
village of ST. Mary. The facts, as stat
ed by our informant, are substantially
as follows: ESQUIRE Richard Kirk
wood, JustiC" of the Peace, while hear
ing case i'll the Court House, ordered
tn" arrest of II rough, halfdrunkrm tcl-
low named lsill Sewer, for disturbing
the proceedings of the court, he hnVin..
struck Il man i'll the court room. I'll"
JnIlor, Miller, accordingly took him in
charge, but while pSrurtiulS him to Jail
NJ tn" basement of the building. Sewer
resisted and attempted To escape, and
the JAiIor sent "a messenger To the jus-
tlce for help. Tint fmnctionury nro-
ce"led III person to reinforce his sub
ordinate, and the two succeeded i'll gel
ting their prisoner us far ns tho open
passage way under the Court House.
ON either side OF which are Tn" cells
when tho rabblC which had followed
them i'll force urged Sewer To further
resistance, telling him lie was u id
fool to allow himself to bc shut nm in
the CELL" Sewer renewed his efforts
at resistance and was knocked down
by the jailor. The rabblc then rushed
upon the officers, and II bullw named
Riggs struck the justice repeated blows
III the face, knocking him down. after
which lie continued TO beat him in Tho
most shocking manner, mutilatiny his
lace terribly. No one dared to inter-
ferc, though In" unOfIendiug Union
magistrate cried "Murder :" and mn-
pcaled To the by-standcrs not To permit
him To be killed; the friends OF tho
rutlian Riggs stood ready, in over

ONE Of our citizens left orr citv II few
weeks ago for Old Virginia, for the pIr-
pose of settling there. but, to our sur
prise, we saw him last week, returned
in disgust. IIo says it is the general
"plni0" there, that they must have
HmO'heT 'cIr. The hatred against every
Northern man is intense, but still more
rabid against West Virgininns. our
informant says he tried to assungo their
icrOcious sentiments; but it was impos-
sible To affect i'll the least their deep
seated prCjudiceS. SO he concluded to
return, deplOring tho distracted, un-
happy, dangerous condition of that
country.
Imthc face of such reliable statements
ISN'T 1t strange that our opponents con-
Tend that there and all over tho South
orn States, tho best of feeling is Dreynil-
nE toward Northern citizens. i've say,
S!hlIhr insertions are shameless perver-
slons OF -LnrkcySLmy Times.
