MORE SHOOTING IN JONES CoUNTY.-Da-
vid Green. young man, was shot in Jones
county on Wednesday last. The New Beme
Times, from which we get the information,
says:
We are glad to lay before our readers the facts
in regard to the shooting of young Green, and
convince them that in all probability the affair
cannot be construed into political or sectional
one. Capt. Mowers was on the spot as he gen.
orally is, and gives us these facts:
He went to Jones county in company with
JOS P Parrott on business connected with
his duties as detective, and fortunately was
there at the time the shooting occurred He in
company with Parrott and Sheriff Pierce of
Jones county went to the house where Green
lay, and learned from him what little he
knew of the affair, which was that when one
man fired, Mr.. Green's mule started on a
run. Repairing to the scene of the tragedy, the
officers found within two rods of where Green
was shot little ditch dug and blinds made of
brush &C., put up in front of it, and at daylight
yesterday morning the footprints of two men
were plainly to be seen. Taking the exact meas
ure, the three men started in pursuit OF the Grim
inals and traced what they supposed to be one of
| them to the house of Mr.. Brock. The other
went in an opposite direction. Here they found
| colored man named John Isaac Green. He
had in his possession rifle loaded with thirty
five buck shot, and the shoes of the man exactly
| matched ole pair of the tracks at the "blind."
| His revolver had not been discharged, but SO
| strong seemed the evidence, that he was ar
| rested. David Green says that he had some
| trouble with this celored man a long time
| ago, about mule that had been stolen, and
| Sheriff Pierce states that David Green was
once arrested for committing rape on the eolored
mans sister. The act was proven but evidence
was brought to prove that no resistance was Of
ferred, and the charge of rape consequently did
net hold good. The colored map declares his
| iphocence. He WIN have an exam3Eation before
apustice of the Peace in Jones COUNTY to day.
David Green was shot in the back with slugs,
one entering the back of his head, two in the
back of his neck two in bis right elbow, two in
each side of the small of his back, and one in
the hip, and if there had been sufficient amount
| of powder in the musket, the victim would have
been completely shattered. The other person
who was associated with the prisoner is not yet
| in the hands of the officer, though Sheriff Pierce
expresses the opinion that he will soon be ap-
| pretended.

An old negro man came to town last week al
ter bringing something to eat to a son of his
whom he said some disguised men had carried
off from the Coalfeld Is miles from here) for the
purpose-as they said-of putting him in Jail at
this place. 1t seems that his son had threatened
to rayish white woman in that section. But
the ole man didn't find his boy here. We reckon
he was lost."-HiHsboro Recorder
The attempt at wit, in announcing the
"loss "-or as may be interpreted-the muir
der of "boy," argues depraved state of
morals, and lawless spirit, well calculated
to keep up continual broI between the
wo races in North Carolina. We have no
doubt, ourselves, about the fate of the 'boy"
not for any crime committed, but upon
the pretext of a threat.
1t is horrible to contemplate the fact, that
men in disguise are taking the law into their
own hands, and by SO doing, are Inaugural
ting bloody civil war; Such conduct will
most assuredly lead to that end
If the "boy" really made the threat, he
deserved punishment, but such punishment
only, as is provided by law. The crime
threatened, is worse than murder itselfbut,
the crime was not perpetrated, and no set of
men had the right to commit p...rdIs. on the
Itrspniof the party ta,d to have made the
GtTedt
1t is not at all surprising, that Governor
Holden should feel deep concern for the
fate of the State, when he is appealed to by
letter, received through every available
channel, TOR help and protection against the
desper; te bands of robbers and murderers,
who swarm in our State. He has determin-
ed, let the consequences be what they may,
toput stop to this reign of terror; and every
man who opposes good order, is not only q
bad man at heart, but is an open enemy to
the peace and prosperity of the State. 'Let
us have peace" The cry comes from every
quarter, yet there is no peace, no security o.
person or property. We must and will have
peace
