THE BRUNSWICK SHOOTING AFFAIR-NoT
POLITICAL OUTRAGE.--It now appears
that the account of the shooting Of DR..
Lewis, of Brunswick, by Mr.. II. Lett, re-
ceiyed at headquarters, was impartial and
unjust. Mr.. Lett was not " desperate
character" but highly respectable citi-
zen. Lewis was a man of bad reputation,
and recently released convict.
Mr.. Lett had difficulty with his cook,
whom he is said to have slapped; and a
magistrate ordered his arrest. The consta-
BILE refused to execute the warrant, and 1t
was then placed in the hands of Lewis, who
took with him man named John Caring
ton, and proceeded to Mr.. Lett's residence.
Lewis began to read the warrant, and Lett
turned to walk off; whereupon Lewis drew
pistol and fired several shots at him.
Lett ran into the house, and seizing flint
lock musket, aimed it at Lewis. 1t missed
fire. He then took up another gun, but be-
fore he could fire it one of Lewis's party
fred at him, the shot taking effect in his
stomach. Lett then went to the back door
and Lewis fred several more shots at the
window where he had been standing. Pre-
sently it was discovered that Lett had hid
den behind the smoke-housc. Lewis went
there, ready to fire again, but Lett being
partly concealed by chicken coop, had the
advantage and fired first. The ball lodged
in Lewis's abdomen.
Mr.. Lett gave himself up to the civil au-
thoritics, and was admitted to bail in the
sum of $4,000. subsequently an army Off
Ger was sent by General Candy to investi-
gate the affair. This officer is said to have
declared, after full examination Of the
witnesses, that it was clear case Of justi-
fable shooting.
And this was reported by the Radical or
gan here as political outrage!

LEWIS LINDsEY's We are
sorry that Mr.. Ligget should have found
fault with our account of Lewis Lindsey's
oral onslaught upon him day or two since.
To show him that we did him an injustice
unintentionally we give his own version of
the affair, as substantiated by Mr.. Phillips.
Says he:
II take this method TO request you to
alter and correct that statement, as 1t gives
honor to L. Lindsey and holds me up rs a
person who would be engaged in a bar-roOm
alteration with negro. My peculiar stu-
alton (so sick that | could hardly walk)
and having my right hand so crippled that
I could hardly support my walking-stick in
it, saved him.
"But to the testimony. Mr.. Henry Phil
lips and myself were the only witnesses. |
saved Lindsay all l could. Istated that he
came in front of me as | was about to leave,
put his hands ON my shoulders, and asked
if I was uncle to the Liggct who was a
member of the Convention. | replied that
l was. He then began a TRADE of abuse
first of me, then of my nephew. | told
him I did not wish him to speak in that
manner to me. Intervening were worse
things not called upl. He repeated all his
dirt. I tried to get away, but he planted
himself before me at every position took.
I went to the end of the bar, and he fol-
lowed me, saying: If you pick up bottle
I'll bust your head opcn.' l then found a
chance to get past him, and said, in pass
ing, do not want bottle, but something
better. He answered, You want police
man-I'll help you find one, and followed
me out of the house. l had him arrested.' -

Two STEAMERS ON THE PAMUNKEY AND
MATTAPoNI RIvERs.-We learn that, it is
the intention of the officers of the Rich
mond and York River Railroad Company
to run steamers on the Pamunkey and Mat
taponi rivers to connect with their road, the
former at the White House and the Inter
at West Point.
This scheme is undertaken with desire
to endeavor. to regain for Richmond the
trade of the prolific country through which
these streams pass, and which for fifteen
years or more has been going to Baltimore.
By the census returns OF 1860 we see that
the counties Of Essex, King and Queen,
King William, and New Kent, raised $685.
361 bushels of wheat, 1,2S7,65S bushels of
corn, 1897 bushels of rye, 2l3, ,733 bush
els of oats, 6S6,352 pounds of tobacco, and
73, ,2s3 bushels of Irish potatoes.
As we have before remarked, all Of this
produce has for many years sought mar
ket in Baltimore. If We cen succeed in
wrenching it from her hands and throwing
it into the hands of our own merchants,
those by whose instrumentality it is ac-
benefactors. In addition to the counties
above named, there are portions of others
which will send their produce here by this
route, adding very largely to the aggregate
amount of merchandise which will thus be
thrown into this city, and which is now
only awaiting the opening up Of the route.
In return for this trade our merchants will
hereafter furnish ali this country with
their supplies. We learn that the steamers
have been engaged, and will commence
their trips some time next week.
