VIRGINIA NEWS.

EXCITEMENT AT PlsCATAwAT.-The resi-
dents Of Piscataway are greatly excited in
consequence of a threatened invasion of
that place by colorcd mob, and for two
nights past all the white male inhabitants
Of the village and the country Immediately
adjoining il have been under arms. The
origin Of tho difficulty and tho present con-
dtlon Of affairs, as reported by citizen OF
Tscataway arc as follows:
lon Saturday, last n co!ored school
teacher named Duglas, living about Il mile
from the village, rode up to the post-otl;cc.
and, sitting upon his horse, cried out to the
pos,mistrcSs, Mrs. Louisa Miller, to bring
his mail out to him. His demand being re-
fused, he became very angry, and made
use Of improper, disrcSpect!u!, and insult
ing language, for which he was caught on
his way Lack home by some OF the resi-
dents of the town and thrashcd. He i'm
mcdiatcly afterwards left for Washington,
and the next day several strange colorcd
men armed with muskcts were seen in the
vicinity, some Of whom arc reported to
have said that a large body Of their race
would soon visit the place and wrcak their
vengeance on it's citizens. An armed guard
is kept posted on all the roads leading to
the Village, and at night. rs stated above,
the whole male portion Of tho community
are on the alert. '-AItr0ndric Gazette.

TaE ALABAMA TRAGEDY.
Further Particulars OF lhe killing o.



We yesterday gave an account OF the
shocking assassination of Messrs. Granville
and William Pillow near Leighton, in
North Alabama. We have since received
more full details from reliable parties re-
siding in the immediate vicinity who
are fully cognizant of the facts, and
whose statements substantially corroborate
our version of the affair. The details are
enough to siclen the heart and curdle the
blood of humanity
+. On last Sunday night Capt. Granville A.
Pillow, was sitting in his room, about 10
o'clock, reading, when some one knocked
at his door. He asked who it was, and the
names of two of the neighboring boys were
given. He arose and opened the door,
when shotgun was fred, the load taking
effect IN his mouth and chin, knocking out
several of his teeth, and one shot passing
out behind the ear. They were buck-shot.
He staggeNed back and fell. He then arose
and ran to window in the rear of the
house, jumped out through window some
feet high, and ran to neighbours house
and told what had happened. Some Of
the neighbors were sent for. While ex-
hausted, and in a dying condition, he lay
| down and soon became unable to speak,
from the wound in his mouth. In about
two hours, after some of the neighbors had
gathered in, the assassins returned In mask
and stood around in the room for some
time. And supposing he was not dying
rapidly enough, they ordered all persons to
leave the room, and then went to the bed
and shot him in the stomach, with the same
gun, after deliberately turning down the
cover. They then went out and
told the men they could now
| go back. When shot the last
time, he simply groaned and turned over
on his face, and the struggle of life was
over.
His brother, young man that was stay
Ing with him, was missing, and could not
be found until Tuesday morning, when he
was found in a sink hole, about two miles
from LAGRANGE. He had been hung, and
then shot six times with a repeater, two Of
! the balls taking effect in the head, and foul
in the body. Either of four of the wounds
would have been fatal. He was then cut
down, leaving the leather strap still round
his neck, and dragged to the sink hole and
thrown in.
They were nephews of Gen. Pillow, anC
were in the Confederate army They were
polite and affable gentlemen.
Of course there are many conjectures as
to the murderers and the cause of the fou
deed, but nothing definite is known The
community, We learn, seems determined t.
! unravel the mystery.

Dramatic Readings.

Mr. Oscar Guttmann will commence his
dramatic readings for the benefit of our
German friends at Turner's Hall tonight
Though the readings will be in German,
the occasion will be one of interest to those
who do not understand that language.
The entertainment will, no doubt, be an
interesting one. Speaking of Mr.. Quit
mann, a Cincinnati exchange says
He is a professional dramatic reader and
elocutiOnist of note, who enjoys a superior
reputation in the capitals of Prussia and
of the Austrian provinces, and has the
credit of having organized and disciplined
the superior stock company of Fanny
Janauschek, whose general success alone
is commentary on the scholarly character
Of Oscar Guttmann, who, by the way, is a
modest gentleman, too diffident to give
publicity to memorials he bears unostenta-
tiously upon his person, which were given
him unsolicited from some of the highest
literary authorities in the old as well as the
new world, which, we're they made public,
would render a word from ourselves super
hUous

More Flowers.

Mr.. Henry Gray, whose skill as a florist
we had occasion to commend a few days
ago, on the receipt of q very fine and va
ried collection of flowers from the conserv-
atories of the Insane Asylum, of which he
has been in charge for some time, has laid
US under further obligations for another
collection, which, not SO varied, is equally
fine. These are from the green houses of
the Edgeield Nursery, of which HEAVIER &
Gray are the proprietors. Both gentlemen
are well known in this community as emil
nent in their vocation, and their efforts
will doubtless secure their appropriate re-

Academy of Music.

This popular place of amusement, on
the corner of Cherry and Broad streets, is
the only one that has kept in regular
operation since the opening of the season.
1t has been literally patronized because it
deserved to be- The management have,
with great taste, devoted themselves en-
tirely to pleasing the large crowds that
have nightly crowded their large and well
arranged hall. The attractions have been
as brilliant as they have been varied.
During the past two weeks the wonderful
Victorelli Brothers, William, Henry and
John, have startled almost to breathless
suspension those present, with their mar
vellous gymnastic and trapeze feats, which
are striking and amazing. The entertain
ments are varied with songs, dances, bur-
lesques and mirth-provoking hits. The
amusement afforded at the Academy is di-
versiied and vivacious as it is amusing,
versatile and attractive. They open next
Monday night with new and additional at
fractions and new people. Among them
are Minnie Rainforth, the only female
Zouave performing the manual of arms
with a regulation Springfield rife, Dan
Conner, general performer, Miss Maude
La Nome, the classic danseuse and vocal
list, and others. This place of amusement
continues to grow in public favor.

Fierce Fist-Fight.

Yesterday at 3 o'clock, qrite breeze
was created in front of the fruit store ad-
joining the Stacey House, that drew in a
brief space of time a considerable crowd.
Blows were dealt thick and fast, and hot
and heavy. 1t appears that man named
Martin went into the store alluded to and
asked the keeper to write him recon-
mendation. The proprietor complied, but
the writing did not exactly suit Martin
told the keeper that it was not right, and
he wouldn't have it. The writer then told
him to go somewhere else and get it writ
ten, where he could be better suited. At
this Martin told him that he was "a id
rascal" Fruit man couldn't stand this.
and pitched into him furiously. Hair was
pulled, noses bunged, coats torn and hats
were mashed. They fought all over the
store and all over the sidewalk. Oranges,
shelves and apple barrels were knocked
over and the fruit sent rolling in all direc-
tons. Peanut stands were demolished
and the nuts scattered helter-skelter, while
pine apples flew around promiscuously.
They continued to fight and pummel each
other for sometime, when, by the interfer-
ence of some personsin the crowd, they were
finally separated After shaking their fists
at each other menacingly, they retired to
reconstruct themselves.

In MEMGRIAM

OF JOHS DwYER, Of HerbertstOwn, county of Lii
erick, Ireland, who died in Nashville, Tenn
Jan. 3, 1870:
BY HIS BROTHER.
Lonely, lonely, they stand weeping.
Round a brothers couch to-day,
Manly hearts their watches keeping.
With their dead so far away.
Father, sister, do you hear them
Weeping now beyond the deep?
Oh! in spirit are you near them.
Weeping Ger the loved asleep?
Oh. their grief was wild and rending,
Stoutest hearts were bowed that day;
Tears, unknown for years, were blending
With Pacific's gathering spray:
Wildly were the tear-drops falling
Tears, which grief but once can she'd
And to the name they're vainly calling,
Comes no answer from the dead.
Oh! kiss the riaglets, that are lying
Like bright wreaths upon his brow;
Kiss the lips that smiled when dying,
Clasp the heart that loved you so.
Gently wrap his mantle round him,
FOndly bear him DER the main,
To the loving hearts that bound him
With bright chords now rent in twain.
Oh! dear brothers, bowed in sorrow,
Grief as thine, few hearts can know
Grief which feeds on each tomorrow
Grief which darkens all LIES flow
Weep, oh! weep, thy tears above him
Holy tears, by brothers shed;
None like thee could ever love him,
None like thee can weep him dead.
Oh! brothers and sister, bowed in weeping
Ger the loved so soon at rest;
That bright spirit now is keeping
Watches with tn departed blest
You're bowed above broken casket,
From which the gems forever flown,
And, Christian brothers, would you ask it
Back from hfes eternal throne.
oh! while the mourning shades Of even
Veil the sunlight in the west
And shadows fall dark-robed from heaven,
Lay our darling low to rest.
Lay the turf above him lightly,
Smoothe the pillow meath his head
And stars that shine above us nightly
Shine brightest DER our darling dead
Then weep, oh! weep, with grief so rending,
For the heart so cold tonight,
Ger which the pine trees wildly bending, n
Meath old Tennessee stars of light
Oh the branches wave above him,
Like the arms of those that weep:
Tread lightly, then, oh, ye that love him!
And watch with prayers where he sleeps.

1t having been ascertained that there is
an ordinance inhibiting such proceedings,
the city authorities have determined to
put a stop to the auctioneering of Peter
Funks, jewelry, patent medicines, pens,
etc, on the Public Square. This sort of
business has been vigorously prosecuted
on that thoroughfare during the past sea-
n-frequently the stentor voices of no
less than a half dozen competing vendors
at time resounding in themost discordant
iargon both day and night Often, too,
the drum and the tin horn have been re-
sorted to for the purpose of gathering
larger crowds, and on some occasions the
locality has been little less than bedlam.
The interposition of the statute breaks up
this competition, and the Marshal will be
instructed to stop the business altogether
and to hold those who may attempt to
prosecute it as guilty of infractions of the
law, to which they will be held accounta-

Transformed.

The improvements that have been, and
are being made at the Stacy House, under
its present and original proprietor Mr.. ].
Edward Stacey are among the most
marked that have been made since the com
mencement of the year. New and elegant
mattings and carpets have been laid along
on all the halls, and the stair ways. The
interior has been reprinted, and papered
in excellent taste. The dining room has
been reprinted and admirably fitted. In
fact the entire establishment has been
transformed into one of the most elegant.
comfortable and coy hotels in the country.
Neither pains, taste nor expense has been
spared in reftting the house. Such i'm
prOvements are creditable to our city.

man of means and high public spirit, is
sojourning in the city, and is a guest of the

to investment in railroad or other interests
in which our growing and rapidly devel-

that his sojourn will be profitable and
