Another double shooting ARRAY has oc>

night last, about 8 o'clock. The particu-

about these: A white man by the name

MitchelPs saloon (colored) in this city and

cealed weapons, had on Thursday some

tells. On Saturday evening while Hitter
was sitting at his window, some person,
unknown at the time, fired at him through
the wIndow-a hole in the curtain it APP
pears, gave the assassin a sure aim-the
shot took effect about an inch below the
eye, and little to the left Of the right
side of the nose. When found he was
still sitting in his chair, dead, not having
moved. Williams, the supposed assassin,
was arrested on Sunday evening and held
under guard during the night. His trial
has not yet taken place, but our informa-
ton is such as to lead US to believe the
evidence against him will be CONCLUSIVE.
About twenty minutes after this shooting
another difficulty, occasioned by the too
free use of spirits, occurred on one Of the
back streets among some colored voters.
The result was pistols were freely used,
and one Of them was seriously, if not IA

At Pine Hill, lastSaturday, John W.
Corley, Esq, of this place, but in busi-
ness at Pine Hill, was attackei BY a ne
gro named George TIMBER, who has the
reputation Of being a very desperate and
dangerous character. TIMBER tried 10
strike Mr.. Corley with tobacco cutter,
but was prevented. by Mr.. John NJ
Shreve, who struck TIMBER in the head
with a weight. On Umber's renewing the
attack, Mr.. Corley contrived TO free him
self from the grasp Of two negroes who
had laid hold on him, and, drawing q
small Deringer pistol, thrust it into the
face of UEber and drew the trigger. BY
q quick motion Of the head the negro
lodged the ball. and saved his life. he
was at length, BY the effort OF Messrs.
ShEeve and B. c. Kavanaugh, put out of
the store, where the difficulty began, bot
went out u;tering the direst threats Of
vengeance. Shortly afterwards TIMBER
was seen approaching with pistol in his
hand. Mr.. Corley in the meantime had
armed himself with Henry rifle and =
double-barrelled shot gun. Resting his.
rifle upon the fence, he took deliberafe
aim,at TIMBER, fred two shots at him, and
snapped at him four times. The FIRST
shot took effect in the left arm, just above
the elbow, and ranged upward, shatter-
ing the arm 30 badly that the arm will,
in oil probability, have to be ampataisd.
Finding himself so badly hurt, TIMBER de-
sisted from the attack, and the encounter
terminated. Mr.. G. PROMPTLY surrendered

THE FUCHsIA.

Within the mountain lodge we sat,
At night, and watched the slsnted snow,
Blown headlong over hill and moor,
And heard from dell and tarn below,
The loosened torrents laundering low.
Twas such q night as browns the stars,
And blots the moon from out the sky;
We could not see our fsvorite larch,
Yet heard it rave incessantly,
Al the white whirlwinds drifted by.
Sad thoughts were near; we might not bar
Their stern intrusion from the door;
Till you rose meekly lamp in hand,
And, from an inner chamber,
A book renowned by sea and shore.
And, a. yon fung IL open, lol
Between the pictured leaflets lay
Embalmed by process Of time
A gift Of mine-a fuchsia spray
I gathered, one glad holiday.
Then, Suddenly, the chamber changed,
And we forgot the snow and wind;
Once more we paced garden path,
With even feet and even mind
That red spray in your hair confined.
The cistus trenbled by the porch,
The shadow round the dial moved.
I knew this, though marked them not,
For had spoken unreproved,
And, dreamhke, knew that was loved.
Sweet wifei when falls q darker night,
Msy some pure fewer Of memory,
Hid In the volume of the soul,
Bring back Ger life's tormented sea,
Az dear peace to you and me.
