Our Franklin correspondent writing yes
terday, April -, gives the following ami
mated account Of affairs in his town:
Last night about II o'clock a body Oi
armed and disguised men made their ap-
pearance At the door of our Jail and knock
ed several times, when Mr.. Butler, the
jailOr, who was lying down reading at the
time, got up and went to the door, and
asked who was there. A voice from with
out answered that it was Hamlet, from
NOlensville, with a prisoner, wishing to
lodge him in jail. Butler, thinking that
he was telling the truth, and as this thing
is frequently done, commenced to Unbar
and unlock the door. As he did so, two
black-faced individuals stepped in with
cooked dOuble-barreled guns, pointed at
the breast of the jailor, and demanded one
Of the prisoners, and told Butler 70 60 and
unlock the door. Butler asked which one
they wanted, and they told him Holloway.
They then forced the jailOr to go and Un-
lock the door, and out stepped Holloway,
much rejOiced at his timely deliverance.
T. G. Holloway, it will be remembered,
is the man who, a short time ago, was AZ
rested in Nashville on the charge Of steal
inc sheep from John w. Harvey, Esq, Of
our county, and who had been placed in
jail here to await his trial al the nexi
June term Of our Criminal Court.
Butler says he could not tell how many
were in the party, but sUppOses some fifteen
or twenty, though he saw only three. They
did not demand any of the other prisoners,
as they cane solely for the purpose Of get
ting Holloway. It is believed that they
were his friends, and no harm viii be done
him. Nothing further has been heard
from them, they having left Immediately
after setting him free end before any Of the
citizens were apprised Of their presence.
Two darkies, Zack DeGTatlenreid and
Frank Kinnard, have been arrested upOn
suspicion Of being the parties concerned in
burglarizing the store Of r. A. Bailey, a
few nights ago, and the former having been
tried before Esq. Malone, has been found
guilty and bound over to the Criminal
Court. Kinnard's trial will take place to-
day, when, it is believed, he will share a
like fate. Neither will be able TO give
bond, it is believed.
Yesterday, while an old negro man was
purchasing pair Of shoes at the store Of
John Z. Buchanan, he accidentally laid
felOniOus hands on a piece Of cloth and
quietly slipped it into his wallet which he
carried swung to his neck, and in less than
ten minutes he was in the hands of an Off
Ger and looking up bail; but Mr.. Buchanan
finally consented TO Jet him 90 free, and ae-
cordingly he made tracks for home, where,
it is hoped, be will remain until be learns
to let other peoples goods alone.
We are to have distinguished EYangel-
ist with us to-day, who will commence a
series Of meetings, which we trust will
benefit the entire community.
The Rev. A. p. Graves will arrive here to-
day and begin his work this afternoon, and
it is thought that much good will be ac-
by his presence.
We are to have a wedding to-day at 1Ot
A. NJ, al the residence Of Mrs Marshall,
when a Mr.. Chin, Of Gallatin, will lead to
the hymeneal altar Miss Annie Marshall,
the beautifui and accomplished daughter Of
the late John Marshall.
We trust that no clouds OF sOrrOw will
ever OyeTshadOw her happy and joyous
spirit, and that her pathway through life
may be strewn with most fragrant flowers.
