The Columbia Herald of the 18th inst,
says: " During this week, two gentlemen,
from Western Pennsylvania, Msssrs.
Daniel Fielder and Jacob Zisgler, have
been on an inspecting tour TO this county,
with view of purchasing lands and
moving here. They represent a number
of families and a large capital.
These gentlemen express themselves
highly pleased with this portion of the
State, but say that prices asked for land
are highsrth than anticipated; that it will not
pay to invest money in property that will
not return reasonable per cent. interest.
From their conversation, we infer they
will not buy land in Maury county. They
left Columbia Tuesday last for an inspec-

THE MeDOUGAL BROTHERS,
Serious ARRAY at PIerer's Station In
0biOn County.

0biOn County.
A very serious ARRAY occurred at
Pierce's Station, Tenn, on Tuesday last,
in which one and probably two, of the
McDougal boys was killed. A quarrel
had been existing for some weeks be-
tween the McDougals and man by the
name of jenkins, their brother-in- law.
The residence of Jenkins was burnt by
some incendiaTies few days ago and
jenkins charged the act on the MsDougal
brothers. He, therefore, resorted to q
magistrate, procured a writ, and it is
said, preceded with the sheriff of the
county, and posse of men, to the sta
ton, for the purpose of arresting the
parties so charged. Two of the Mc5
Douglas, George and Bill, were at the
station. George observed the squad ap-
preaching, and anticipating their object,
attempted to make his escape, but was
shot from his horse. 1t is stated that
after being shot he surrendered and plead
for mercy, but a man by the name Of
George Rucker, not understanding or not
needing the plea, shot him through
the head, killing him instantly. By this
time, the other brother, Bill, who was in
the house, discovered the state OF affairs,
and after the display Of great courage,
and several extremely narrow escapes
from death, surrendered to the sheriff and
his posse. They carried him, it is not
known where, probably to the last
mansion Of mortality" for since then
nothing has been heard from him. 1t is
feared that this affair will not end here,
for the deceased have surviving brothers
and friends, who are men Of determine
ton and desperate courage.
We can not learn the straight Of the
affair so many different versions are atiost.
Geo. McDougal, the deceased, was q
lieutenant in the well known "McDougal
Scouts" during the war, and is the same
that killed Col Faulkner We under"
stand Jenkins and Rucker, both, were
old members of his command.
This is lamentable affair, and will
afford Gen. Cooper an admirable pretext
for sending his melish into Obion county

An Indictment Found-Another START.
ling Development.
Scarcely day elapses that we do moi
have new developments of the horrible
criminality of Ku-Kluxism. Only a few
days ago "carpet-bag'' preacher was de.
tected and exposed at MurfreesbOro, in an
attempt, for private gain, to use the pen Of
the Grand CyclOps to compass his wicked
aims. We now have case from HUM
phreys county, little more startling. A
person by the name of Skinner, who was
during the war trusted detective in this
part of the State for the Federal authori.
ties, some time since took il into his head
that he would like to run the Bureau bust
ness and also that of Registration, which
dove-tail together very nicely. To effect
this worthy ambition, he wrote in the name
of the Grand CycIops to the agent of the
Freedmen's Bureau, and to the Commits
sioner Of Registration in Humphreys,
warning them of great danger from the
Ku-Klux Khan, and advising them, as q
friend, to leave The State without delay, for
safely. These officials, however, were not
to be caught with chat, but went to work
to detect the friendly Ku-Klux, whom
they found in the person Of Skinner, the
Federal detective. Under the law Of the
State in relation to the Khan, they pre-
senled The matter TO the grand jury Of the
county, who promptly returned bill of
indictment against the oficiOus Skinner,
which is now pending 10 tina courts Of
Humphreys.
Skinner has not been arrested, for the
reasonthat be is in Washington soliciting
Office from Gen. Grant on the ground of
bis valuable services in detecting disloy-
atty in Tennessee daring the war. Per-
hsps Gen. Cooper would do well to send a
squad Of militia after him.
