A FIGHTING PREAcuER. M ost of the read
ers of the Gazette remember the Rev. George
W. Carter, formerly a popular and distinguish.
ed preacher OF the Methodist Episcopal Church
South. He has. frequently delivered telling
sermons in this city, and was extensively known
throughout the. State. During the war he
commanded q regiment from Texas, and settled
in that State after the close of hostiiities, where
he became President Of University, and Pro
fessor of Moral Philosophy. We learn the
particulars Of the following occurrence in which
he participated, from the LaYacca (Texas)
Commercial: 'i%e -@a.,~ ~. 49,.
The Mayor and Aldermen Of the city Of
Houston were removed by the military, and a
meeting of citizens was called to demonstrate
with Gen. Buchanan in regard to 1t. AT
this meeting COL George w. Carter made a
speech, which, it seems, was pretty severe on
'scalawags' and carpet baggers, and at its
close, proposed the appointment OF committee
to address Gen. Buchanan, s. and nominated
Judge P. w. Gray, "a Virginian by birth and
member of the Episcopal church, as chair
man of that committee. Judge Gray declined
this position. 1t seems he and Colonel Carter
we're not on terms Of social intimacy, though
Carter stated that he made the nomination in
good faith. Gray, while he owned himself in
favor of general Democracy, repudiated the
would-be leaders in Houston, and said there.
we're 'scalawags' among them that would bear
watching. Carter asked if that applied to him.
Gray responded, .sif the shoe fits you wear it.
This not being satisfactory, Garter the next
day sent note demanding a definite disavowal
or an application of the offensive epithet; and
to stranger alta distance it would seem as
though, if Judge Gray did not have Col. Car
ter in his mind, he might have said SO; and if
he did mean to apply it to that gentleman, he
might expect to be held accountable. Gray,
however, would neither affirm nor deny, and
Carter invited him to emigrate outside of the
State to settle the matter. This Judge Gray
declined, upon the ground that his known
christian principles forbade him to fight duel.
Carter then published him as a liar and COW
ard Expecting, of course, that Gray would
resent this, the next morning Garter, armed
with shot gun, two six shooters, and two
derringers, took his position on Main street, and
stood sentinel from 10 until l CLOCK, when,
Gray not appearing, Carter abandoned the
field. !" - va g. .,t'" -. -
