One Nan Killed and Trio Wounded- Tie
Bride of Night Widoc.

From the Ne~ Albany Ledger, Feb. z.
On Saturday night last, we learned the
particulars of most desperate transac-
ton which occurred at Spencer, Owen
county, this State, on Saturday m6rning.
1t appears that on Friday evening, a most
desperate character, named John Rose,
while drunk, visited the drug store Of
DIR. William Senix, and, without any
provocation, commenced TRADE Of most
abusive language against DIR. s. and an
other party who was present. The
doctor bore his conduct for some time,
and at last was forced to expel him from
the store. This enraged Rose to such an
extent that he drew his revolver and
commenced firing upon the doctor At
ter shooting five times without hitting
him, he left and went TO his home. That
night Rose, before he had recovered from
his drunken spree, was married to a lady
to whom he had been for some time en-
gagged.
On Saturday morning, a writ having
been sworn out for the arrest Of Rose, a
deputy sheriff, with posse Of three men,
proceeded to the house of Rose for the
purpose Of making the arrest. Upon
arriving near the premises they found
there Nwere several men in the house.
Rose met them at the gate and told them
not to come any further; that if they did
they would do so at their peril. He then
drew his revolver and made ready for a
fight.
The deputy sheriff and his party APP
preached for the purpose of making the
arrest, and Rose commenced firing. His
fire was promptly returned by the sheriff.
party, and one of the shots taking effect
in the body Of Rose, killed him almost
instantly. One of Roses shots took effect
in the thigh of Deputy Sheriff Brannon,
inflicting a painful but not a serious
wound, and another of the deputies wa.
wounded with stone hurled at him by
one of Roses companions.
Whisky was at the bottom of the whole
affair, and the selling of the drug, origi
nally led to the difficulty, and made III.
bride Of night a widow.

We have been shown letter received by
Col. j. II. Derryberry from Honey island,
detailing a terrible tragedy enacted there
on the l4th inst. We condense as follows
The parties to this tragedy were Ben

hands at work there. Morris took ofiense
at such interference, and rode up 10 the
place where Harrison was living, an alter
cation ensued, during which Morris struck
Harrison across the head with pistol, after
which Morris returned TO his home. Soon
after this Harrison and a crowd OF negroes
made their appearance near the gin house of
Morris-which was near his residence-and
commenced hooting and yelling loudly
Morris took his gun and said to several
friends who were at his house that he would
go up and drive the negroes off; his friends
insisted that he should not go, but he would
not submit, and proceeded to where the ne
groes were, accompanied by his brother,
HTtu MOIIiss WHICH near tut HtREOSn lWo
guns were discovered lying on the ground
and Ben stopped to pick one up; as he was
in the act of doing so the negro Harrison

ly. The negro Wade then fired upon Ben
Morris, killing him, then shot the brother,
Fred, wounding him severely. Fred return
ed the fire, aiming at the party, but with
what effect he does not know, as the negroes
retreated upon the approach of the friends
of Morris who had remained at the house.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY !
MURDER OF AN AGED CITIZEN
OF JEFFERSON COUNTY.
Negroes the Perpetrators, Robbery the
Object.

We have received information through q
private letter. ofthe murder OF an old and
respectable citizen OF Jefferson county-Jno
Irwin Mitchell, which occurred at his resi-
dence miles west OF the village OF Union
Church, and II miles east Of Fayette, on
Friday evening last the 18th inst.
The substance of our information Is 10 the
effect, that about dark on the evening In
question, a knock was heard at the door
when Mrs. Mitchell proceeded thither to as
certain who was there. AS she opened the
door she was struck with an AK, her screams
brought her husband to her assistance, when
he was attacked and killed outright by the
murderers. Mrs. NJ, during the attack upon
her husband, managed to escape by back
door of the house, and succeeded in reaching
the residence OF her nearest neighbour Mr..
G. NJ. Buie, a mile distant, where she detail
ed the horrible events Of the evening. An
alarm was at once given, when parties pro-
ceeded to the house OF Mr.. Mitchell where
his body was found upoa the door and life
extinct. An AK and hammer were found
upon the floor near the dead body, and upon
examination il was discovered, that an at
tempt TO force the door of the iron safe, had
been made. Attention was now directed TO
Mrs. NJ, whose head was found TO be badly
injured but was able to give further details,
indicating the identity of the murderers'
two negroes well known in the neighbor-
hood and known respectively as "Black
Charles" and "Prnce." Search was at once
made for them when they were found in bed,
asleep.
