HOMICIDE IN BEDFoRD.--We learn that
negro man named Ned Ogden was shot and
mortally wounded on Friday last ut the
/" Cove" in Bedford county, some ten miles
from this city, by white man whose name
we were unable to ascertain. The negro,
lit seems, rented piece of land last year
from the gentleman who shot him, ana lelt
at Christmas without paying the rent. Inc
gentleman retained q part Of the, negro
CROP Of corn as security, telling him that
whenever he paid the rent the corn would
be returned to him. Matters stood In this
condition until. Thursday afternoon last,
when the negro went to the gentleman $
house, armed with heavy club, entered
abruptly and unbidden, and told the gen.
tIeman he had como for the corn or bis (the
gentieman's life. The latter replied that he
could not have the corn until the money for
the rent was forthcoming whereupon the
negro struck the gentleman with his club,
when the latter seized gun which was In
the room and fired, the load entering the
negro's abdomen and infiicting wounds
from which he died on Friday morning.
Up to yesterday the gentleman who fired
the fatal shot had not been arrested, and
probably will not be, as the shooting was
clearly and wholly in self-defence.-LyTcf'-
