SENATOR WILSON, looking back from the
recent defeat of the Radicals in Virginia to
the Hunnicut days concludes in the light
of events that some M istakes have been
made, aud that Radical milk has been split,
over which it is profitable toShed few tears
In a recent letter to the Independent he says:
There cannot be shadow Of q doubt III
the minds OF those acquainted with affairs
in Virginia in the spring and carry summer
OF 1867 that. had a wise, earnest, aud un'
| selfish effort been made at that time, re-
construction party could have been formed
| that would have framed liberal Constttu
ton, adopted it, sent a delegation to Con
gress and given General Grant last year II
majority OF many thousands. There were
then many thousands Of white men in whose
| bosoms, in spite OF tbs rebellion, fingered
the traditions of the past, the memories OF
those days when they acted with the great
national parties Of the whole country, some
under the lead of Henry Clay, aud some
under jackson, opposing aud helping to
overthrow the misrhievous doctrine of NULL
fcation, who could have been counted on

was a time when liberal, Just, and unset.

Two Persons WOunded-A Lawsuit the
Cause of the Difficulty. 81
About o'clock yesterday evening, dur
ing the progress of trial at the Office Of
g. w. Spain, Esq, on the Nolensville
pike, about six miles from The city, seri-
GUS difficulty occurred between parties liv-
ing in the neighborhood. From what we
can learn, a gentleman named Patterson
had entered suit against another man
named Connell about some land. While
the elder Cornell was giving his testimony
young man named Patterson said that
he was swearing to lie, when young Con-
nell, son of the one mentioned above,
drew pistol and fred at Patterson, the
ball taking effect in the back part of the
neck, the wound however not being serious.
Patterson then fired on Connell, missing
him, the ball, however, lodging in the
spine of a man named james Phillips,
producing, it is feared, fatal wound
Other parties in the crowd commenced
firing their pistols, and it was thought that
general melee would be the result, but
the affair was shortly afterwards quelled.
A physician from this place was sum-
moned, and dressed the wounds of the
parties shot.
The neighborhood has always been re-
markedly quiet and peacabIe, and this DIFF
iculty is greatly regretted.

A negro named James Hardin was at a
dance given by the colored people Of Nc
Marry county few nights since, and fred
upon a party of serenaders who were en-
joying themselves st the ball. The sere-
naders returned the fire, killing Hardin.
The Jackson Tribune says that Hardin
will be recollected as the murderer OF
Samuel Lewis, the Sheriff Of McNairy
county in 1867, which event induced ter
rible riot 10 Purdy between the whites and
blacks, in which the colored gentlemen
"ft' nobly, and came out victoriously.
Since that time Hardin has been, to some
extent, terror 10 the community. No
whites were implicated in his taking of.
The Tribune, referring to this murder
and also that Of the pedlar, says:
1t is due to truth to say that no masked
riders were on hand when these murders
occurred, and that McNairy is as loyal as
the 'best government the world ever saw"
could now require. We almost feel like
our rebellious nature was reconstructed
every time We put our feet upon our "na-
tive heath" and have felt, more than once,
half inclined TO file our claim for our por-
ton of the Rutter School Fund. If we
could get indemnity for the past and Sc
curity for the future" we have no doubt
our loyalty would be az elastic as gum
suspendeT.

Death of John n. Branner.

John r. Branner, President of the Eas
Tennessee and Virginia Railroad Co., dice
at his residence in Jefferson county OF
Monday last, in the forty-eighth year o.
his age. In referring to his death, the
Knoxville Press and Heruld says:
10 the death of John r. Branner, East
Tennessee has lost one of her most useful
and most worthy citizens. Ever since he
arrived at mans estate he had been pro.
minent and active in the business world.
During the latter years Of his life, he was
President of the East Tennessee and Nir-
ginia Railroad Company, and to his en-
ergy, ssgacity and financial skill, is due
the restoration of that Company from
bankruptcy and ruin. He was largely en-
gagged in many important enterprises. HaV-
ing passed through many seasons Of finan-
cial cloud and storm, through all the va
rying viCissitudes, he sustained the char
aCteT Of an honest man. Scrupulously
exact 10 his worldly AFFAIR.", he was never
theless large-hearted, philosophical and
benevolent, and no man commanded the
confidence aud esteem of those who knew
him best, in a higher degree than he.
About one month ago he professed the re-
ligion of Jesus Christ, and partook Of the
sacrament, attaching himself to the Meth
odist Episcopal Church South. His death
leaves a vacuum in the social and COM
mercial community that few men are
qualified to fill. We deeply sympathize
o the universal grief at SO sad a bereave-
ropnt

Fatal Shooting ARRAY on college
street Last Night.
John Ford, q member Of Co. c., 45th
Regulars was shot last night and instantly
killed. The circumstances as related to
US are as follows:
J. 3. Patricks and ]. w. Walker, mem
bers Of Capt. Winters company of militis,
were returning from camp, where they had
been sent after some papers for the Cap
tain, and were met in the neighborhood OIL
the Shakespeare saloon, on North College
street, by two regulars named r. ]. Rich
ardson and john Ford. The regulars
asked the militiamen If they belonged 10
Brownlow's militia, and the reply was
given in the affirmative, when Ford
knocked one of them down and took his
gun away from him and snapped il
at him. Patricks, one of the militis,
seeing that his partner was about TO be
shot, stepped out into the stree! and shot
Ford, the ball entering the Left side near
the heart. He reeled and fell from the
platform, and after one or two struggles
expired. Walker, after being knocked
down by Ford, got up again but no sooner
had he raised himself, than he was knock.
ed down by Richardson. After Patrick.
shot Ford, he went to the police station
and delivered himself to the authorities
He acknowledges the killing of Ford, and
thinks he shot him in self-defense Walker
Richardson and Patricks were arrested aRt

Messrs. Pigue, Maaier q Hall, Nashvillc,
Tenn:
GENTLEMEN: DR.. LIaHTHILL expects 10
visit your city soon, and for the benefit OF
the suffering l wish TO say, through you,
to your very extensive acquaintance in
this and other Southern States that DIR.
LighthiII can do all for the suffering that
can be afforded by skill, science and a
comprehensive experience.
Indeed, DR.. Lighthill performs some
almost miraculous cures. One case for in
stance. placed under his treatment, over
two years since, my niece, Miss Ellis
Mitchum, of McLemoresyille, Tenn. She
had been suffering from a child with a
rising in the head, which had for years
emitted through the ear very ugly and
offensive corruption. Her case had been
treated by the beat physicians of the coun-
| try and had baffied the skill of all. DR..
Lighthill kept her under his immediate
charge for ten days and then sent her home
with remedies. She used the remedies as
directed and in three months was entirely
well and still continues in excellent health
1t may be proper TO state that when Miss
Mitcbum went under DR.. Lightbilrs treat
ment she was unable to walk and, as her
friends thought, was rapidly approaching
death.
If you have any friends among your ex-
Iensive acquaintance suffering with any
chronic disease You may safely recommend
them to DR.. Lighthill.
Yours, very respectfully,

Radical Vengeance.

TIE Columbia Herald, which came to
hand yesterday, contained the following:
Last week we announced that Elias :,
Houston, who has been in the Maury
county Jail for more than a year, charged
with having killed msliciously one Brown,
in Lewis county, was acquitted of the
charge of mansiaughter. The killing OF
Brown occurred in 1859, and it seems that
it was so manifestly a case Of justifable
homicide that he was not tried for a num-
Der of years. 1t turns out that Brown
was a desperate and dangerous man,
and that besides threatening the
life Of Mr.. Houston, he had slightly
wounded the latter before the fatal meet
ing occurred. And when Brown was killed
he was again the attacking party, and fred
the first shot. By the best people of the
county it was esteemed justifable Gaze Of
homicide. No steps seem to have been
taken to punish him until 1867. Like
many other men with Union antecedents,
Mr.. Houston n, when the war closed, became
member of the Loyal League, at Rally
Hill, Maury county. But when he was
made to know the iniquities of that iniqui-
tous institution, he publicly denounced
had been in his mind long time before
he took any action on il, as he well knew
that revenge would be eagerly sought by
his Coadiutors, aud also we'll aware that
law, the instrument of justice, was fire.
qneEtly used, in the disorganized state of
society, I'D a means Of committing the
mos. terrible outrages. So well advised,
indeed, vas he Of the risk he was taking,
that on th- occasion of large political
meeting i'll The summer of 1867,
when he publicly denounced the 10y
al Leagues and Radicalism that
he even employed counsel for defense
Sure enough the incepsed Loyal League
Immediately caused him to he arrested,
sending Jordan and Stephenson, who are
now in our county Jail charged with the
murder of negro, TO arrest him. Hous-
ton alleges that, although he offered no re-
sistance whatever, they Knocked him down
