HIGH-HANDED.-A few days ago Sheriff
Collie, having received information that
John Anderson, who some time AGO shot
and killed Emanuel Hubbard, Il negro, ut
Laurel Grove, in this county, was lurking
about that neighborhood, went there, ac-
companied by his deputies, for the pur-
pose OF arresting him. At the intersection
OF u small path with the main road his dep
uties came upon Anderson, with three
other men, all fully armed, and evidently
prepared and intending to resist any at
tempt to arrest the murderer. Anderson
was in his shirt sleeves, with two pistols in
a belt around his waist, while the other
men were armed with double-barrelled
guns.
Deputy Sheriff Hutcherson, having
served in the army with Anderson, knew
him. but did not recognize either Of the
men who were with him. The deputies,
being so heavily outnumbe:ed, deemed
" discretion the better part OF yalor," and
made no attempt to arrest B iderson, but
rode rapidly on and reported to Sheriff
Collie what they had seen. Mr.. Collie in
stantly put his party in motion and pro-
ceeded 10 the place, but On reaching there
found the birds had flown, and all search
for them proved unavailing.-Ch Chatham

 To these must be added-although not exactly in the list of changes-the Georgia Senators, for the first time admitted to seats m the Senate since the rebellion. One of them, Joshua Hill-who will prob ably act with the Republicans-has already been admitted, and tue other. Dr. Miller. whose political affiliations are not SO clear. is likely to be admitted soon. It will be seen that the competition of the Senate has been affected to an unusual degree by these elections; as only five old members have been reelected. viz: Morrill,, Wilson. An- thony and Robertson. The Democrats have gained six, which, allowing them one of the Georgia Senators-will give them a total of eighteen. to fifty.six Republicans. Of most of the new Senators we have al. ready spoken. Since we adverted to the subject. however, General Reynolds has been chosen from Texas, and Henry G. Davis from West Virginia. The former is an excellent army officer, native of Ken tucky. though appointed to the Academy from Indiana. He was for some time a Professor at West Point. He served with distinction throughout the war, and after wards as Commander of the Department of Texas, where his influence on the peace, order and prosperity of the State was very marked. He will be decided accession to she Republican ranks of the Senate The new member from West Virginia is an en-. terprising and successful business man, who was an active Unionist during the war. As body, the new Senators, though embracing but few distinguished names, may be regarded as quite up to the ave- rage.
