some had openly threatened to burn the twon

named Cash Warren, had cursed and abused a
young brother of Mayor HerdoD, and, encoun
teling Mayor Herdon on the street, began tc

Almost simultaneously two or three shots
were fired at the negro by friends Of the mayor
who had collected there, among whom was Us.
car Burton, who was subsequently, charged
with firing at Warren when he met his death.
The negroes, who had become very much in,
cepsed at the death of Warren. threatened to
kill Burton, who, about II o'clock, appeared on
the street armed with a double. barrel shotgun
and pistol. Judge j. E. Reeves, Albert Reeves
sheriff elect, and Paul Reeves attempted to ar
rest and disarm Burton, owing to report that
a body of negroes were marching iHto the town.
Burton refused to be arrested and they opened
fire on him, wounding him severely in four dit,

great joy by the white citizens, at whose earnest
request Capt. Duncanson's Chickasaw Guards
agreed to remain until Monday, while the re-
maiuder returned home in the ev, ming.

Touching Cuba, he said he would offer free

abolish it with all speed.
Don Carlos is very saDguinc Of the success OF
his cause, declaring his prospects favorable,
and giving good reasons therefor.
