A West FeIIcinnn Planter Killed.

We copy the following from the Times o.
last evening:
Saturday last, at Webber's store, in the
parish of West Fcliciana, a highly respect
able planter, Mr.. Richard Hale, son of Col
Onel Richard Hale, was shot and killed bv
a mob of excited negroes, while in the
hands Of the law.
The circumstances, as we gather them,
are as follows:
Mr.. Hale visited Webbers store last Sat
urday morning, during the excitement at
tending the Radical parish convention.
Mr. Hale was somewhat under the iulu-
ence of liquor, and while Furnishing his
revolver, it was discharged accidentally,
wOunding a negro standing by mmcdi-
ately he handed his revolver to the post
master, a colOTed man, and placed himself
in the hands of the constable, who took
him in charge and went with him to a back
room Of the store. AT this time the excite
ment, which had been gradually increas-
ing, became intense and the negroes swOrc
they would have his life. Some of them
entered the back room and commenced
shooting, the constable narrowly escaping
the bullets.
Finally the constable told Mr.. Hale he
could protect him no longer, when he
jumped out the window and ran for his life
The mob on the outside were too quick for
him, however, and he was instantly killed
The negroes at once scattered, but we IN
deTstand the most vigorous efforts will be
made to bring the guilty parties to punish
mCnt.

The Steamboat and Trading Boat Muir
ders,

MEMPHIS, August lS-Later advices from
| Bradleys Landing are that as soon as the
| Helen Brooke arrived there with the pur-
! pose of trading, a bOatman named James
! Trumbuli, went on board and, being drunk,
commenced trihiDg with the machinery.
! Captain Patti ordered him to Gcsist t.
| which Trumbull replied with OpprObiOus
! PpitL cts, and threatened to throw Patti over
| board. Patt took up shot gun and ordered
| him off the boat.
Trumbull went before Esquire Walt and
| swOre out a warrant accusing Patti of re-
| failing liquor without license, and the latter
| was arrested by COlored constable and
! taken before a magistrate His wife, leay-
! ing her infant with two women on the boat,
| accompanied him. After waiting until
nearly dark, Pats brother, fearing trouble,
| took the boat over to Island Forty and
made fast to the shore.
That night Downing, the colOred con-
stable, Trumbull and a man called Hans
took a skltt, pressing two negroes into ser
vice, and ordered them to row across and
land above the steamer, which being done,
Charles Pate, one of the negroes, says that
on landing Downing and party ordered
them to remain quiet under penalty of
death. Downing and party then crept eau
tiOusly toward the boat, which they boarded
and soon after a loud cry was heard then
several shots in quick succession.
They then saw them pursuing Captain
PATHS brother, who had jumped ashore, and
firing on him Whether he was killed or
not be does not know. Patt was the only
one seen by Charles, and he thinks two
other men, one of whom was named Rob
insOn, two women and three children were
killed and thrown overheard. When
Charles and his partner were called to the
boat they saw no one but Downing, Trum-
bull and Hans, who broke into the bar, and
the entire party got drunk.
Charles remembers nothing more until
the boat was landed by fishermen. as stated,
when he jumped ashore and made his way
back to Bradleys, where the widest excite
ment prevailed. AS nothing has been seen
Of Patt or his party, while Downing and
his party have also disappeared and from
the fact that the boat had been plundered
it is feared that the whole party has been
murdered.
Our dispatches last night state that the
crews Of the steamer Helen Brooke and the |
trading boat have all arrived at Memphis |
safely, though robbed of every thing they |
had, including $500 in money.

The New York Herald has this gossip

Colonel Hatch expressed great regret at
the failure OF the Pinchback party to fuse

that the action of the former means the

NOUS fusion would have been effected, but
lne negro element in the convention was too
hIr1hg on the side of Grant. Colonel Hatch
