Under Trial az ygarcriy.

Daring several days of last week fever
ish state of excitement was caused in
the town of Wavefly, on the Nashville and
Northwestern Railroad, by the trial, before
Justices Harris and Drummond, of a young
man named VIM, charged with the MUIR
der of George Thomas The trial was con-
cluded last Friday evening and the
judgment of the Justices announced, COM
hitting the accused to jail to await his
trial at the Circuit Court on the charge of
murder in the first degree With the as
sistance of a strong guard, the Sheriff
marched VIM off to jail in the presence of
his father, brother, and a vast multitude of
spectators. The defendant is only twenty
years of age, aud his unfortunate situation
should serve as salutary warning to men
who too frequently allow passion to con-
troll their actions. Young men, especially,
should take warning by Winns sad fate.

Opening OF lhe spring Flights.

The spring fights opened quite briskly
last Sunday morning at or near the corner
of Market and Broad streets, the principal
parties being an Italian fruit yender and a
woman of fast colors. The latter was
charged 10y the former with improper in.
reference with his financial drawer, whereat
she waxed exceedingly wrath and sought
TO avenge herself py beating the fruit dealer
freely over the head with an unfriendly
poker The tumplt attracted the attention
of policeman Eph. COrLett, who separated
the beligerent parties, and thus saved the
fruit merchant a terrible beating. The
latter. however, seemed disposed to take
advantage of this circumstance to get even
with his assailant, and endeayored to as
sault her With the same poker employed 50
vigorously against his own personal COM
fort. A young man, who had nothing
to do with the fight, but who
had too many drinks ahead, also
made himself unnecessarily numerous" at
the scene of action, and drawing formid-
able looking pistol tried to prevent the
officer from performing his duty. The
rash young man proved a failure as ashOot-
list, and only got himself arrested for his
pains. The three were conveyed to the
station, and yesterday morning introduced
TO the Recorder 10 answer for their misbe-
havior. The fines imposed upon the fruit
dealer and fighting woman for assault and
battery, were settled, but the fine assessed
against the pistol holder of the occasion is
to be liquidated by ''Work and labor in
the street department.

Two We'll known Citizens Kslless.
In the UsIoN AND AMERICAN Of Sunday
we made brief mention of difficulty that
occurred on Saturday evening last between
Mr.. NiyEett and MIR. Murphy. The former
was killed instantly and the latter fingered
for twenty hours, and died from the effect
of the wound he received from pistol
shot fred by his antagonist. A correspond
ent who resides at Spring Place, the scene
of the tragedy, furnishes us with the fol-
lowing account of the affray and its conse-
quences:
To the Editors Of the Union and American:
On Saturday evening last, at
O'Clock, one of the most distress
ing affairs occurred that it has been your
duty to chronicle for many months. The
difficulty took place at Spring Place, be-
tween Joe Murphy and Elisha Vivrett,
which resulted in the death of both parties
1t seems that there had been a slight mis-
understanding existing between the parties
for some time past, and when they met on
the evening above mentioned, MIR. NIyrett
snuffed out the candle with switch which
he held in his hand. Mr.. Murphy re-
marked: 'sThis is twice you have insulted
me tonight, and am not to be bullied In
this way, and INDUCED in some other re-
marks. Mr.. Vivrett then said; 'Joe, you
are armed. He replied that he
was. Vivrett then said: 81 know
you have Derringer, and so have /, at
the same time drawing that weapon. Muir
ply then told him to put away his pistol,
when Yivrett said, milne is not loaded
YOU are fool, I don't want to kill you. p"
Murphy then offered his hand to Vivrett,
which the latter said he would accept, and
at the same time laid his Derringer on the
table, and then drew large army pistol,
renarking, ''This one is loaded; if you
have any shooting to do, now isyonr time.
With this remark, Vivrett fred instantly,
| but missed his aim. Murphy then drew
his weapon and fired, the ball taking effect
in the center of Vivrett's breast. The first
| fred second shot about the same time,
which took effect in Murphy's left side,
! passing through both lungs. Both fell to-
| gether, and Vivrett expired Immediately.
| Murphy lived until Sunday evening, and
| died about six o'clock. He was attended by
| Drs. Briggs, Buchanan and Evans, as soon
as their services could be procured, and re-
| ceived all the attentions that skillful physi-
| clans and kind friends could offer. Mr..
Vivrett's mother, wife and brother visited
Mr. Murphy during his last hours, and in
the most christian like manner freely for
gave, and gave him assurances that no
blame could be attached to him. Such an
exhibition of true christian charity was
never before witnessed, and among all the
attending crowd of sympathizing friends,
there was not one dry eye. No animoslty
whatever exists between the families of the
| two unfortunate young men.
