TRAGEDY AT FLAT ROCK.
4 Negro Man Killed.


A fearful tragedy occurred out at Flat
Rock, three miles from the city, on the
Nolensville turnpike road, at late hour
on Saturday night, which resulted in the
immediate killing of negro man named
Solomon Haley. There has been for some
time a good deal of stealing going on in
that locality, and among others who it was
known had done no inconsiderable share OF
the same was this man Solomon Haley,
who seems to have been quite a notorious
character. On the night in question he
was extending his depredations, and was
stealing some valuables from . citizen
named Fred. DAVIS. Not feeling inclined
to let his property go in this style, DAVIS
resisted, and in conjunction with several
other parties tried to stop Solomon in his
mad career. They used every reasonable
and proper appliance to effect his arrest.
Determined not to be taken, Haley became
desperate and showed fight. He first made
at DAVIS and his friends with some IN
finished buggy axles, with which he pro
posed TO demolish the whole party.
Failing to intimidate with this species of
weapon. he drew a long bladed butcher
knife, with the cleaning blade Of which he
made a fearful lunge at the party. At this
DAVIS drew a pistol and fired, the ball
striking Haley in the head and penetrated
Just above the year, killing him almost in
stantly. DAVIS gave himself up and was
brought to town. He had his trial yester-
day before Justices Hinton and Patterson
and was honorably acquitted, the act being
pronounced one of justifable homicide.
Coroner Brien held an inquest on the body
of the negro and a verdict was rendered III
accordance with the foregoing facts. If
the outrageous thieving Of the darkies that
has been going on in the vicinity for some
months past is not stopped, we fear that
similar scenes to the above will be enac-
ted.

The Result of Minnesota AgricuI.

The st. Paul Press Of the 9Th gives the
agricultural record of Minnesota for 1869,
closing its statement as follows ''Our
readers will see that the account, as we
figure it for 1869, in an agricultural point
of view, is one of great disaster to the
farmers of Minnesota, with few exceptions.
This is no guess-work, for we know what
we talk about, and can produce the facts to
prove our assertions. Awfully in debt, low
prices for wheat, but little else to sell, too
much paid for hired men, too many imple-
ments bought on credit, some wheat
sprouted, potatoes frozen in the ground,
bugs to fight forepart of the year, corn
rotted in the ground generally, cold spring
and summer, with gentle fains until thresh-
ing time, when it eliminated in terrific
flood in September, hay stacks floating
around the country at random, ending with
the hardest freeze in October ever known
since the State was settled, which rendered
the season disastrous to many a hard
working gardener and fruit-grower, as well
as the farmer"

About a Bottle Of whisky.

A knot of negroes, some twenty in num-
Der, was seen near the foot of Broad street
yesterday morning in the middle of the
street, and in the mud to their knees,
scufiing, tustling, pushing, shufiing,
slipping and sliding, cursing, scram-
bling and guffawing, jostling each
other down, knocking off hats, peeling
Sims and tramping on toes, and making
the mud fly in all directions. Across the
street and up the street, and down the
street they circlod and eddied like an
Ethiopian whirlwind The cause of this
commotion was a bottle of whisky which
one of the central figures of the group had
and the others wanted to get a pull at it.
One big tall fellow finally burst from the
group with the coveted ticker which he
quickly stuck to his mouth and drained to
the bottom. At this wonderful feat the
crowd, crest-fallen and disconsolate, dis
persed.

students for the Agricultural Col
lCge.

We learn that in order to aid the praise
worthy efforts of the Trustees of the State
Agricultural College at Knoxville to build
up that institution, the President and Su-
perintendents of the Railroads from Bristol
to Chattanooga, from Chattanooga to Nash
vile, from Nashville to Hickman, Ky, and
from Chattanooga to Memphis, have agreed
that all Of the pupils receiving appointments
from the different counties shall be passed
over the said roads for half fare. 1t will be
remembered that, in accordance with the
provisions of the law establishing the Col
lege, each county is entitled to three free
scholarships in the College, to be nomi-
mated by the members of the Legislature.
We learn that the cost of getting to Knox
vile has deferred some young men from
accepting this scholarship when offered
them. By the very liberal action of the
railroad arrangements referred to, the
pupils who get the nominations viii only
have to pay his fare TO Knoxville. They
will be returned free.
We would respectfully call the attention
of the members of the Legislature to this
arrangement.

BLOODY AFFRAK AF HOPKINS
WILLIE, HY.
One Man Killed and Another Nor
tally Wounded.
A Former Nashville POliceman
Loses ksis LifO.

We are again called upon to chronicle
another deed of blood, involving the loss
of the life of one man who was killed out
right and probable mortal wounding of an
other. Though the tragic event did not
occur in our immediate vicinity, it promis-
es high degree of local interest, as the
party killed was formerly resident of the
city, and has many friends and acquaint-
ances who still live here. 1t argues bad
state of things not to say an absolute in
crease of crime throughout the country,
when we can scarcely issue a paper with
out recording the shocking muder, killing
or manning of one or more parties. The
laxity of the law in enforcing the proper
rigorous penalties, and the free and indis-
criminate use Of firearms and deadly
weapons everywhere and on all occasions,
have made the frequency of desperate at
tacks, murders and killings and scenes Of
blood so common, that they excite scarcely
an extraordinary interest. The shocking
affair here referred to took place in a
drinking saloon in the town of Hopkins
vile, near 10 o'clock, last Saturday
night, as we learn, though as
to the particulars of the origin of the
affair we are not fully informed. 1t APP
pears that number of persons were
drinking and carousing in the saloon, and
that general melee was going on, In
which weapons were freely used.
One of the parties a man named Pal
Donahue, was particularly obstreperous
and seemed to be at the bottom of the
difficulty. Mr. j. R. W. Pearcy who is al
acting policeman Of Hopkinsyille, and who
was formerly s policeman in this city
went into the saloon to arrest this party
While undea3oring to make the arrest
arms we're freely used and several pistol
were fired. Before the arrest could b
made, Mr.. Donahue drew his pistol AM
fred at Mr. Pearcy, the ball striking hin
! and taking effect in a vital part. MI
Pearcy fell bleeding profusely and died i
five minutes after the fatal shot was fired
Other shots were fired during the confu
sion and one of the balls struck the ba
tender inhicting it is thought a morts
wound Mr. Donahue was prompt
placed under arrest, and lodged in jai
A brother of Mr. Pearcy, who lives i
Pulaski, passed through the city yestel

will be had to-day, and also, to look afte

Robertson Association Lectures.

The second lecture of the course will be
delivered at the Masonic Hall this evening,
at o'clock, by the Rev. D. G. Kelly, of
Edgefeld, whose missionary labor in China
for a period of four years afforded him an
opportunity of forming an accurate knowl-
edge of the habits and customs of that
ancient people. The subject of his lecture
viii be "China and the Chinese, one that,
at this time of Chinese immigration, is one
of considerable interest to every citizen of
the United States, and we have every rea-
son to think will be handled in a mastery
manner.
1t is needless for us to state the oiects of
the society, under whose auspices these
lectures are given, as they are well known
to our citizens, who have hitherto so cheer
fully subscribed to them, and who, we
trust, will not only assist by being present,
but impress upon their friends that an in
tellectual treat is offered that they should
avail themselves of, during the winter
months. at so small a cost.

stock of Wheat at milwaukee,.

On the Sth of January there was held in
store at Milwaukee, 1875, 600 bushels of
wheat, against 100, 900 bushels same date
1869, and Cos, 600 bushels same date 1868.
A private correspondent Of an Eastern
paper, writing under date of Jan. 7, from
Milwaukee, says:
''Our wheat market is dragging its
weary length along with a slow deprecia-
ton every week. Canadian exporters, out
side capitalists, in fact corporations invest
their capital in wheat. One firm here holds
1900, 600 bushels, in option and actual
wheat, principally for Canada account and
export on reopening of navigation. 1t is
generally believed that, after farmers pay
their taxes, about the 18th inst, receipts
will decrease considerable
