Morristown, Sept. 30, 1871.


We learn from Squire Callen that on We'd
nesday evening John Pierce was stabbed in the
18th district of this county by VIM Baker, who
was a tenant on the land of Pierce. 1t is
thought the difficulty arose from a Disagree
ment with reference to rents. The physician in
attendance says Pierce will die. He has wife
and four children. His father was killed dur
ing the war by the rebels near the same spot
where the present difficulty occurred.
Both men were said to be quiet sober citizens,
and inofensive in disposition, which fact makes
the occurrence more to be wondered at. Pierce
was member of the church, and considered by
those who knew him to be Christian man, and
our informant thinks Baker was also church
member
Tho difficulty occurred in a field near Flint
Gap, in the fork of French Broad and Holston.

NJ. Nelson, Of Cleveland, Tennessee, and Gen.
Clanton, of Montgomery, Alabama, Various
articles have been published calculated to pre-

The Connecticut authorities, in their zeal for
Mr.. Bowen's reformation, are likely to insist

up his abode there for some time. Their courts,
too, will be likely to scrutinize more carefully,
the evidence in uncontested divorce cases.
