THE KU-KLUx IN FiIRFLELD.
Two Negro Mt1itiamen Severely
Wounded

4 correspondent of the. Columbia Union
writes from. Winnsboro' under date OF the 18th
instant:
Information has just been received here,
that two members Of Captain Jacob Moore's
company OF militia, billiard Ellison and Thomas
Johnson, by names, were attacked In their
houses, on yesterday; morning before day, by
the Ku-klux, and Hlliard Ellison was shot
through the back and mortally wounded, and
Thomas johnson had his thigh shattered.
There Is no hopes whatever OF Hilliard Ellison.
And 1t may be but proper to state that there
are men OF influence and,wealth in this coun-
ty, who are we'll known. who are in full sym
pathy with these deeds oil violence, that are
getting TO be ot nightly occurrence, and that
have SO disgraced tie -up-coantry of late.
This took place about Seven miles west Of this
place. 4
The Winnsboro' News gives the following
somewhat different version Of the affair:
A serious difficulty occurred on Jackson's
Creek. some nine; miles from this place, on
Saturday night last. Several pickets, we un>
derstand, were placed on the different roads
near DR.. Turner's store by the captain OF ne
gro company In , hat vicinity, who were at
tackled by some disguised men, Wounding two
OF the negro pickets. This is the hrst occur
renee OF the Kind that has taken place in this
county, and we hope it will be the last. The
law should be resCrted 10. and If 1t Is lound to
vary from justice, then it is time for the citi-
zens to take matters in their own hands. But
when they do take the law in their hands, let
1t be In the broad light of day, and not In the
hour OF midnight, and disguised. We are
amply able to protect ourselves, but let us do
