HOMICIDE IN NEWBERRY.

The Herald says: On Sunday evening about
eight o'clock, Levi Garrett, white, was killed
by George Gordon, coloreG, on Colonel Ren-
wick's place, some ten miles from the court
house, In this district. The circumstances, as
given us by Sheriff Paysnger, are as follows :
On Saturday, the wife OF Gordon severely cut
a dog belonging to Garrett, with hoe, and
which he valued highly; and upon Mrs. Gar
reLts interfering, the woman attempted to cut
her with the same implement, but the two
daughters OF the former interfering 1t was pre-
vented and quiet was restored. Garrett
was not at home at that time, but upon re-
turning and becoming acquainted with the
circumstances, and finding his dog nearly
dead, he started, with little son about thirteen
years old, for the cabin of Gordon, and getting
there lie called the woman out. She refused,
he reiterated the demand and threatened her
with violence. Finding she would not come
out, he threw one of three rocks he had picked
up into the house, whcreupon Gordon raised
his gun standing near by, presented and fired.
Garrett cried out to his son, HE has killed
me, let US kill him. and sprang in and made
an attempt to grapple, but fell dead. The son
was caught by the negro and a joint of one OF
his fingers bitten of. By this time the parties
in CARROTS house near by, and who had been
at supper came to the scene, and the matter
ended. The examination made BY DR.. Carlisle
showed that sXLy-seyen shot had entered Car
rett,s right breast and that the fourth rib was
cut in two. Gordon gave himself up on Sun
day morning, and is now in jail.

for him, to which was pinned the following
note: ''Slr-I hope you will excuse me, but I
thought was dealing with Frenchman, and
not a countryman. Finding out my mistake,

Richmond for some six months, with 100000
more or less, and only surrendered when the

the last ounce of powder. If that French
army at Sedan had had leaders with some Of
Lees brains and pluck, Frenchmen would not
