THE TROUBLES IN THE STATE.

Whatever opinions may be entertain
ctl as to the caus; o: the present disturb
Cd condition oi the ullcr country, anu
the provuca,i0n which exists for the re-
cent acts of IawlesslicsS, all good citizens
must unite in dcnouncimg them as evil,
and only evil, aS increasing tcnioid the
troubles they seek to runlcdy. They are
neither to be justified, excused nor pal
lated. They are alike lawless, unautlior-
lied and impolitic. Lawlcss they are
because they tiaisgrcss the highest
obligations which we owe to God anu
r,;an-uEaulhorizcd because they H.

tcrcst of society. Better, the reriest
drslotism which ever crushed out the
spirit Of free people, than this h"lcks
anarchy which makes the lives and
property of the cilizcn the slIortoi every
rcck less nlaruuGer. Between such
r,sie of thlngs ard the military We
choose the lultcr. SUuner than this let
the s,xle be reu,anded to the territorial

Fatal ARRAY at Cokesbury,.

We regret to chronicle another oi
those afIrays now unfortunately so com
mon, which occurred at Cckesbury on
Saturday last and resulted in the death
of Henry Nash, colorcd. AS such oc'
currenccs,are Ieplored by all good citi'
zcns so it is the duty Of each and every
lone, to lend his aid in securing the ar
rest of the guilty parties. II the civil
law is to be maintained, it must be by
the generous cooperation of all good citi'
zcns. An inquest was held on Sunday
last by Trial Justice Hemphill, and
verdict rendered that the deceased came
to his death by shots fired by l.. +. Con-
nor, aud j. VI. Moore. Warrants were
issued but the parties have not yet been
arrested. .z
The circumstances of the occurrence
are thus related in communication to
the PhGnir by an eyewitness.
COKEsBURY, February l3, ISL.
Mr.. EDiroR: There was unfortunate
! ly, difficulty in our town, on saturday,
ynicn Resulted i'll the death oil Henry
Nash, colored niall, one 0; our County
Commissioners. An alteration spraiIs
up between two young mon, j.. +. Con-
nor and j. NJ. Moore, at the back door
uI one uf our stores, no one being pres
rnt to hear. what was sad. Firing OF
pistols coS,nenced, Nash ietreatins, the
other two pursuing, Hiring at nm, ana
he returning the fire As he ran. l was
1T another store 100 yards otl, ana rs
soon as learned what was going on,
rushed out amidst uanGcr-iUr .c was
RUNNING towards that store, and the NJ:
ing being in that dirtctioti-and Succeed-.
cd in stopping it. Nash went INT" the
store and | followed him, 10 see what
injury WAS inflicted. Hc iay down upon
the floor and requested Dr. Gary who
happenedto be present, to eNamihc mn,
Which he did, saying that he was NOR
tally wounded. During this excitement
the yomng mcil left OIL setback. J., rs
Intcnclumt of the town, issued u warrant
:nr their arrest, soon after, but they Lad
fed. The next piorliing carly, u war
rant, was issued by4Triai } Justice Heihp-
hill, and put into the iianda OF the sier-
III Of the County. e..
fSucn occurrences alG SICiliS w l''ASh
by all good citizens aud lovers oil peace
and order. Igivc you this s1atcmeht, ~
such occurrences are are apt to DC eXagy-
rerated. Two weeks ago there was all
occurrence greatly exaggerated - Tie
shooting of Ed. Butler by 2Glkerson.
They were brought before the Town
Council and the two coiorcd men who
were present when the shooting w;ls
done testified, upon oath, that in their
opinion it was purely accidental-liiat
there was no quarreiing, no difficulty
between the parties.
We learn that on Sunday a body of
blacks went to the residence of tol. i.
z. Ierndon, one Of the most respectable
and peaceful citizens of that community,
and that two of them, June Wilson and
Manuel Keller, armed with pistols, cm-
tered his yard and piazza, and without
authority demanded his Surrender. But
for the intcrpoSition Of Mrs. Herrdon
bloodslcd would ensucd. Rumors Of
this outrage brought together d. party of
whites, and prudcnt and timely counscls
alone prevented serious loss of life.
Wet that these vlolators Of law will
be duly punished.
