RIor AND SHOOTING IN FAueuIER COUNTY,
VA Correspondents Of The Baltimore
Snn.] lFGrrcnton, August 29.-On Satur-
day last there was considerable riot at Rec
tortown, in this county, on the line Of the
Manassas Gap railroad, which caused great
deal of excitement. A party of seven CO.
lOred men came into the village, which has
some fifteen dwellings, and two stores, seek
ing fight with some colored men Of the
town. They went to the store Of Mr.. Luke
A. Woodward and behaved so boiSterously
that the proprietor ordered them of.
The negroes cursed him and refused to go.
He seized an aXe-helvc and made an attack
which was resisted, bat finally they were
driven from the premises. In the road they
behaved so threateniugly, alarming the wo-
men and children, that the white men and
others OF the village flew to arms, and two OF
the disorderiy gang were shot III the leg
with buckshot, and finally driven away.
They were much eNasperated ut their defeat,
and made all sorts Of threats.
Mr.. Lewis Marstellor, one Of the residents
of Rcctortowu, who was going to dwelling
to protect the women and children, was
caught by the rioters and had his skull frac-
tured by slung-shot. it is stated, and has
since been i'll 4 very critical condition. His
wound was very severe. The negroes
shot were not much injured, and they all
cot away from the scene of the disturbance.
Two Of the rinsleaderS have since been ar
rested. it is learned, and all will be caught IN
time. il is thought, though one or two OF
them reside in peighborng counties. r.

4 FARMERS ENCOUNTER WITH HIGHWAY
MEN-The Buchanan (Mich.) Record says :
" AS George Spicer, of Three Oaks, was on
his return home from Buchanan, after cross.
ing the high railway bridge few miles west
of Buchanan, man came out Of the woods,
caught the team, and told Mr.. Spiccr that he
wanted that team. He was informed that he
could not have it, whcreupon he said he was
in earnest and must have it, Mr.. Spiccr
struck the team with the whip, but the grip
Of the miScreant was too firmly fastened on
the horses bride. Seeing things getting
serious, Mr.. Spicer concluded there was no
need of any further delay, and thercupon
drew bis revolver and fired at the rObber
at the same time striking the horses with
the whip. Whether he hit him or not he
could not tell, but he seemed to fal
back as the horses SpranS forward, released
from his grasp. After going short
distance Mr.. 5. concluded he would go bach
and see how badly he had hurt his man, bu
as he was stopping shrill whistle greeted
his ears ahead Of him in the woods. HI
therefore concluded there were others abou
and that it was no place for him there. So
putting whip to the team he hurried for
ward through tbs woods, when several shot
were cred at him, one taking effect in th
| buggy-boy, passing under the seat, and tin
| ball lodging therein. 1t is hoped that tn
| man that caught the team was >criou.l,
hurt by the Shot given him, better still -: :s Ii
was killed: However, it he was either hllr
vi even killed. his comrades in crime o
| course took care Of him, aud the putli
would never know anything about it.
