A Bloody Scene in Tennessee.

The Nashville Press and Times of the 26th
of September, says:
{" The details of a terrible decd of blood
reached US yesterday from Hawkins county.
The victim was j. G. Willis, himself the mur.
derer of man named Sizemore, who fell by
bullet from his pistol, about year ago, in
the same county.
Between this Willis aud one Barton bad
feeling has been growing for some time, and
they thirsted for each others blood. At
length the devil favored their wish, and they
met on Sunday last on the banks of the Clinch
river, few M les east of Rogersvile. Willis
was half drunk, and was on his way home
from distillery in the hills, where he had
been drinking and gaming for three days.
The other man, it is said, was just leaving
religious gathcringi iE the woods. They met
in lonely place; both were mounted. The
moment they came in sight of each other, at
a sharp bend in the road, they were not more
than twenty yards apart, and their horses were
going at a good trot. When they pulled up
the animals heads touched each other. They
halted and let their bride reins drop,
Willis belt came loose, and his pistol fell
down on his horses back. He partially turn
ed round to pick it up: and while in this act,
his assailunt fired and struck Willis in the side.
i
the, horse which he was riding turned and
gallopod off, dragging him considerable dis
tance. His foot caught in projecting root,
willie the other remained in the stirrup.-
The violence Of the jerk literally wrenched
his thigh bone from the socket, while the
saddle girth broke, and he was left on the
ground. groaning. When the enemy rode up
and dismounted, Willis saw the evil design
in his eye, and begged of him to give him
respite to see his wife. But he would allow
no respite-not even to utter short prayer,
but sternly told the man he should die
Willis implored mercy, the blood streaming
from his side, and the agony of his torn limb
