LITTLE Rock, July 27.-Jas. Brooks,
leader of a faction of the Republican party
opposed to Clayton, made a speech We'd
nesday to a crowd of negroes near this
place, in which he was particularly severe
ON the Clayton party. charging them with
committing many wrongs and outrages
outrages against the people; advised the
negroes to vote for honest men, even if
they were Democrats; that many of the
latter could be trusted a great deal more
than some in their own party, and favor
ed amnesty. The speech was loudly ap-
plauded by the negroes. Quite a war has
been going on for some time between the
Clayton and Brooks factions in this county,
for the negro strength. The latter has it
all his own way so far.

Gus shooting afray occurred in Benton
County on the goth, between two families
named Reese and Pierce. On the day in
question twelve men were threshing wheat
in a field near the residence of Reese, the
father of half a dozen sons, who were
present. Six men of the Pierce family
came into the field, stood round the thresh-
er for some time. when. all of a sudden,
one of the Pierces struck one ofthe Reeses
with a pitchfork. The father of Reese
then struck Pierce with a grain shovel,
when another of the Pierces pulling a
pistol, shot Reese in the head, inficting a
dangerous wound. He shot another one
of the Reeses in the thigh. and killed a
third outright. A general fight then COM
menced, in which two others, one on each
side, were wounded. The assailants then
started on a retreat, when one of the Pier
ces shot back at the crowd, and at the
same instant received a shot from one of
the Reeses, which killed him. No arrests
were made. The difficulty grew out of
some differences between the children of
the two families while at school.
