RIondv Affair.

In the 9th district of this county, on
Tuesday night last, a difficulty occurred
between two men named Bullock and Hal,
living in the same house, growing out of a
settlement in regard to the crops raised in
partnership. A law suit was required to
satisfy the parties, and levy on portion
of the stock of one of the party was the
result. Smarting under the termination of
the law suit, an alteration took place on
the night above mentioned, when Bullock
drew pistol and attempted to fire at his
adversary. Mrs. Hall, wife of the other
man, grasped the pistol just in time to save
her husbands life, the weapon being dis
charged, but the ball passing over his head.
Hall then grabbed the pistol, and used it
freely over Bullock's head, beating him I'M
mercifully. Esq. DOrtch arrived at the
place shortly after the difficulty, and placed
them under arrest, and they have been cited
to appear for trial before Esq. Patterson as
soon as Bullock RECEIVERS from his wounds.

humorous Lectures.

Dr. G. III. Bagby, of Richmond, will this
week commence a series of lectures in the
city. The very announcement is sufficient
to fill any hall ne may select He is one of
the finest humorists in the land. DIR. B.
was formerly the editor of the Southern
Literary Messenger, and is widely known
as the author of the letters of ''Mozis
Albums" to Billy Evans. His first lecture
will be delivered in the concert room of
Mr. w. Z. Wards Female Seminary, on
next Saturday night. The following is
among the many high testimonials paid TO
DR.. B. by the press:
''Well, we attended the lecture last night,
and to attempt to describe it would be i'm
possible. We had formerly announced that
DIR. Bagby was incomparably the finest, the
most original humorist Of the times. The
delighted and ecstatic audience that hung
upon his inimitable humor, can now testify
whether we overestimated his superior
abilities in this line. His wit, his mirthful
his scorching sarcasm, and his
pathetic and eloquent touches were capt.
waiting"
The room will, no doubt, be filed to its
utmost capacity on Saturday night.

iiCeman.
The reckless handling of firearms and
the frequency with which they are leveled
at the life of fellow being, it would ap-
pear, is becoming a growing evil in the
community, which calls loudly for imme-
date efforts to check the same. 1t is only
in most aggravated circumstances, in cases
of selfdefense, where the use of firearms
is justified, either by the law of the land or
by the high verdict of public sentiment;
vet often, under the most fimsy preteXts,
and for the most trivial causes, real or i'm
agined, an aggrieved party takes the law in
his own hand, draws pistol, and sends the
death-ball at the offender. Sometimes in
slant death results. and sometimes the
party misses his aim. For the protection
of life and the peace of society, rigid pen
alties should he applied and enforced
against aggressOrs of this kind. Within
brief space of time two persons have been
killed in this way, one purpOsely and the
other by accident Scarcely a day passes
but the charge Of shooting with intent to
kill appears upon the records Of some Of
the courts against some one or more par
ties, and few nights intervene without a
disturbance in some locality caused by the
sharp crack of the pistol.
Another instance of this nature occurred
on Tuesday evening, which came near de-
priving an msuspecting man OF his life,
and one. too. who was at his post of duty
at the time. The circumstances, as we
learned them, are about these: short
time since Il Mr. John White became Of
Tended ut Officer Classify, of the
police force Who is stationed on duty at the
Workhouse. We are not aware of the ma
ture and character of the grievance caus-
! ing such feelings of revenge on the part OF
White. and which came near being carried
| out with fatal effect on Tuesday evening.
They were evidently harbored with i'm
placable bitterness. On the evening IN
| question. Mr.. White, armed with re-
volver. as we learn, went to the room OF
| Classify and called to him. The former
| answered. and asked what was wanting;
White told him to come to the door, he
wanted to see him. There being nothing
unusual in his official capacity IN such de-
mands, Mr. C. complied. On reaching
| the door. Mr.. White drew his pistol and
| fred one OF two shots, which fortunately
missed the mark, though the affair came
nigh losing his life, the ball just grazing
him, near vital part. Mr.. White was ar
| rested. and was before the court yester-
day morning charged with shooting with
intent to kill; he was also charged with
shooting within the corporate limits, and
with carrying concealed weapons. His
trial upon all the charges was continued.
We have been thus particular in detailing
the circumstances as we learned them, not
with view of making one party to per
sonal rencounter culpable, and holding the
other blameless, but for the purpose of i'm
pressing the fact of the light estimate
placed upon human life, if such modes OF
redress become generally resorted to in
community.
