SHOOTING ON EAST BAY-IsrENsE EXCITEMENT
Two MEN MoRTALLY SoAnEp.-The usual quiet of
East Bay Was disturbed on Wednesday by tho sud-
don report Of pistol, and men who had been long
unused to grim visagcd war, snuffcd tho bnttlo
from afar and hastencd to tho scono. II appeared
on examination that tho shot was flrod from Mr.
bERNAnD O'NEILs store. and was aimod at rat
but tho long.tailed animal fled from the wr,th TO
come, md the bullet, glancing on tho floor struck
gentleman passing by in the shoulder, but did
no damage beyond cutting his coat. His indigna-
tion at Tho occurrence WAS immense, and consider
ing it to bo tho cut direct, ho proceeded to vent
his anger in violent demonstrations of his up-
known assailant.
A sympathyzing crowd soon gathered, among
whom was neighboring merchant who had also
been threatened by tho shot. Thcsn gentlemen
not wishing repetition of tho wnrke ciyilities,
preferred charges before tho police and dotnch-
mont OF tho Guardians hoaded by their officers,
were soon on tho ground these were followed by
the Detectives and it seemed for tino ns IL tho
unfortunate shootist would be compelled TO pay
tho penalty due to tho offended law. Fortunately
moderation prevailed, ''no ono was hurt and tho
only pnnishment motod TO tho culprit, was n
fno OF IS for firing his pistol in the City lmits
Wo would suggest 10 our East Bay friends visit
to No. 8 Hayno stroet where they will find rat
trap TINT will provo far moro eficacious in check
ing tho carcer OF tho nnimilcs than n'pistol shot
and tho result will be moro satisfactory both to
tho parties themselves md to tho public, who
can then walk tho Bay boldly and fear no
evil.
The SEA ISLAND CorroN CRop.--Tho informa-
tion daily being received, in reference to tho prog
ont condition Of tho long staple cotton crop Of
tho State, induces tho boliof that this is to bo
DISASTROUS year for this important product. Should
this be tho caso to the extont TINT is now feared,
and the price Of tho article keep at it's present do
prosscd figure, 1t will certainly DO most unfortu-
nate for our Sea island planters. Having for
several years OF the war boen compelled to allow
their estates to rn to waste and in some cascs to
