occurred. o-f
The following items ars from the
Record;
SHOOTING ArvaAY.-We learn
that = shooting match took placs
near Retreat, in this county, one day
last week, between Ed. snd John
Pierce on the one side, and--Ran-
kin snd-Coilins on the other, 10
which Rankin was killed add Collins
MORALLY wounded by Ed. Pierce, the
latter himsolf being slightly wounsd.
We know nothing Of the origin Of
the difficulty. No arrests have bssa
made.
CosTtRMEp.-The reported cap
ture and lynching Of the notorious
Hunt, by party from Robsrssos
county, chroniclsd by US last week,
hes boon confirmed BY several per-
sons from Bryan the present week
tn. publisher Of the Huntsville
Times has taken largely to water /;
in fact too much water ON an empty
stomach. He went over to Anderson
to mould roller, and in attempting
to cross Lake Creek, which Was full,
was endorsed, aud swan Ashore. He
lost everything; "rollsr Axias,' six
shooter, aad shirts, and went back 70
Anderson, 4 wiser, sadder man. In
the meantime, Every mean time, his
friends thought he was lost Poor
fellow We hope il will sos give
him q distaste 10 watsr. n
Tho BRENNAN Banner takes this
view OF the situation
+ "Of the voters hsrs, 2275 will be
eolossd, 70 only 955 white. The e..
275 can certainly eject, snd IL 10 for
themselves 10 say whether they will
elect white man or . freedman.
We know something Of our own fesl-
ing in this matter, and also the fcl.
ings Of most otker true Southerners,
ssd 70 but express the gsnssal sen
timent Of the most substa ntisl vhits
citizens Of the County, whea W say
that we prefer an honest and intslli.
gent negro, whose sincerity cannot
b questioned while he spssks in be-
half Of bis own race, to any Radical
white man who exults over proscrip-
tian, and pays court to the negro a.
. means Of helping himself into Of.
Gee. We do not deem it sscsasary,
u yet, to begin giv.sg names, but
We know wolf enough, the half dos.
- men 10 this conmusity, who term
themselves Radicals and whsn
either Of them oders himself a. .
candidate for the Convention, and
asks the freedmen to cast their votes
for him, We shalt advise them to do
no such thing, but, il they cannot
vots for . good white southern man,
to vots for aud elect one Of their
own color. Ben. watsous, or Oliver
watrous, or Wiley Hubert, or Hale
Scott, would either Of them make q
much Aore acceptable delegate 10 n,
than any white Who would assist IN,
and gloat over an attempted degra-
ratios Of his own eountrynsn.
AID again ii says:
Rrom ths fact that ~ recon.
mead ftssdnss 10 vote for thsir owa
color ~ Delegate il the Stats Con
vsn,ion, We would not have il In.
ferrcd that we prefer = negro to .
white mas. We only prefer . COL
ored negro 70 vhits oas. We pre-
fer thoss VIE Az nsgro,s BY nature,
70 thoss Who were born white, but
who usks themselves negroes BY sMl-
iation.
PEI our part, ~ do not feel Tie
slightsst interest in the question.
The white radicals and the negroes
for Il. 1t matters not 10 " which
wins. Neither represent Us or tho
eountsy.
