AN EXCITEMENT was created at the
Smyrna Circuit Camp, Tuesday, by an
alteration between a white woman and
a colored woman, in which the former
was cut on the arm with knife. 1t is
thought that summary punishment
would have been administered to the
negro woman had she not been taken
from the ground. 1t seems that she
made some insulting remarks to the
white oman, who struck her. By the
determination OF the family of the tent
in which the affair occurred the crowd OF
foolish people were kept off and dis
graceful mob prevented from creating a
disgraceful riot. The drunkenness and
Righteousness on Sunday is said to have
been shamefully prevalent, beyond the
