An account Of very serious riot which
occurred at Rogersville, East Tennessee
ON Tuesday last, while Mr.. Etheridse
was speaking. A large crowd OF Con.
seryatives and Radicals was present, and
many armed with guns and pistols. Alter
speaking an hour in his usual frank and
manly manner, he was Interrupted BY q
Leading Radical, one Tom King, who
said that a certain statement previously
made by Etheridge was "a dawned ie's
Mr. Etheridge retorted, and was shot at
several times - the crowS meanwhile
breaking and separating, 'he Radicals on
one side and the Conservatives on the
other, shooting as they ran, and firing
yolleys for twenty minutes after their
respective positions we're taken. Two,
one white pan--a Conservative-and
one colored man, were killed outright.
Seven others are reported MORALLY
wounded, and about thirty more slightly,
Mr. Etheridge escaped unhurt. Wekno
not who is to blame in the matter, beyond
what is disclosed in the above statement,
Such is the state Of the public mind,
and such the prevalence of individual
recklessness and animosities on every
hand that single spark may produce a
conAagration-- word fearful and
deadly conflict anywhere and at any
moment. We say for once let every man
be sober and prudent. We think that
election day should be set apart as a day
of peace, as sort of sanctuary of
twenty,four hours, wherein no man
should take offense for any words uttered
Good men of both parties desire peace,
and it should be presumed they do not
intend 70 break it by words; and if any
thing is to bessettled, let it be understood
it must be deferred until next day, when
time has been given for explanation
that Thursday is the voting day and
Friday the fighting day. Or, perhaps,
on cool reflection, the fight may be post
poned to Saturday, and that will be bet
ter. Let there be no offense taken on
election day. Let the enfranchised free
men who vote show to their disfranchised
fellow.citizens that they will make good
governors of the State, by governing
themselves for one day, at least.

FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 2, 1861.

The Counties in West Virginia along
the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
are moving with great enthusiasm in behalf
Of the completion Of that road. In Kanaw-
ha large meeting was held on the oath
inst, and it was unanimously resolved that
100000 be subscribed by the county of
Kanawha, in accordance with the resolutions
of the White Sulphur Convention. Meet
ings have been held in Mercer, Fayette and
Raleigh and other counties, fovoring sub
scription by these counties to the amount
mentioned in the White Sulphur Convention
resolutions.
With the enthusiasm of the people along
the line Of this road, which we notice from
the statements of our exchanges, the COM
pletion of this great work can not be long
delayed.

A Massachusetts, paper describes an entire
ly new apparatus for manufacturing lumber
"a complete saw mill, having its engine at
tached directly to the saw sash by the piston
rod. The sash works in two upright stan
dards Of cast iron, which are made to carry
the feed-rcllers, rollers, &C., thus
bringing the work within very small space.
Indeed, the whole mill only occupies a
ground space Of ten feet eight inches by four
feet, exclusive of the cars for CARRYING the
logs, and yet it is calculated to carry forty
or ifty saws.

equal rights. which even white men have not,

The Assassination Of President Lincoln.

The ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT Lincoln.
Referring to the fact that the House of
Representatives, on the motion Of General
Butler, ordered an enquiry into the mystery
Of the assassination conspiracy, the Albany
Eapress says:
"Here, for example, is one significant fact
which we learn upon authority that cannot
be doubted: On the night Of the assassina-
ton the pickets on the road which Booth,
took from Washington were with drawn by
the written order Of high military officer in
our army. On one previous night, when the
plan of abduction was to have been carried
out, the pickets were withdrawn by the same
officer The written order is now accessible.
This would certainly seem to indicate that
others, besides those whose names are famil-
lar to the public, were not ignorant of the
conspiracy. Indeed it is the opinion of some
whose position enabled them to learn the in
terror facts Of the case, that there was pres
ent in the theatre, on that fatal night, one
higher than Booth who had the supervision
of the deadly work Traces of this man have
been found, but he has never been fully
Identified"
Here, too, from the Pittsburg CONNER
cia1, is another paragraph bearing mys e
riously on the subject:
After waiting a reasonable time, it is ma
tural that the public should feel a little i'm
patient and dissatisfied that the Canadian
Catholic organ, the Minerre, should refuse
to give the name Of the Protestant clergyman
whom it mentioned as having been the plan
ner Of President Lincoln's assassination
The N. Y. Times expresses but the public
sentiment on this subject IF the editor Of
the Minerue has, as he alleged, the original
letter in his possession and also the rebel
agents reply, why does he not produce them?
The Protestant minister is said by the editor
to be occupying respectable position in So
ciety in a Northern State, although he had
originated the murder plot, and had even at
tempted assassination unsuccessfully himself.

GENERAL GRANT AND THE PRESIDENCY. -
AS General Grants views and feelings re-
garding the Presidency are just now the
subject of some interest in the country, it
will not be out Of place to state that the
General recently in a conversation with a
gentleman of this city said candidly that he
was as ambitious to fill the high Office Of
President as most men, and that he would
accept it if conferred upon him unsought
and without pledges, but that if he had to go
after it and seek it, the White House would
remain long time without an occupant

Surratt's presence in Washington on the

and since learn that neither of the horses rid

the horse presented by the citizens of Au-

Of Macon who paid a handsome price for it,
and was only parted with on account of Mrs.
