otns Wnleh came near proving serious.
At the meeting on Monday, in regard to
subscribing stock to The Gallstln and
Lebanon Railroad, but at which politics
we're freely discussed, Col. Head made 3
telling speech against Radicals in gen.
ersl, and against certain scalawag
named Needles in particular, no DOUBT
saying many truthful things in regard
to the scalawag's real character. At
this Needles took offense, and in reply
accused Col. Head Of acting badly while
in command OF a Confederate regiment
st Fort DoneIson. The Colonel shot at
Needles, and the negroes rallied to the
support of the latter, but the excitement
was allayed.

The Banner OF the 9th says At
Culleoks, ten miles south of Columbia,
on the Nashville and Decatur Railroad,
a shocking tragedy was enacted yester-
day morning, the result of a foolish
quarrel between two neighbors, Robert
Young and James Nash. Some pigs be-
/ longing to the latter, had, it seems, been
encroaehing upon the premises of Young,
and q feud had existed for some time be-
tween them in consequence. The quar-
rel eliminated yesterday morning by
Nash shooting Young dead in his own
yard, and the flight of the murderer,
who is supposed to have got aboard the
up train for Nashville. Young was
an old man. Nash was 3 middle
aged man, and was formerly
Conductor on the Nashville and Chat
tan0oga Railroad. Both are said to have
had families.
