stabbed in the neck and face. Wood
surrendered himself to the authorities,

ILLICIT DISTILLERs.

The Knoxville Tribune .. tbe Ian

tainn Of Union County.
The Knoxville Tribune o. the 18th
says:
The evenu officers are often beset
with perils greater than that incurred by
boys who wear the blue, and the skjrm.
isles in which they engage are some.
times sufficiently lively to break the mo-
notony OF these piping times Of peace. y
About two weeks ago special deputy j.
II. Rogers, Of Union county, and two
men started on a raid against three wild
cat distllleries of whose whereabouts
they had been advised, bnt their expe.
rience with one suficed for the time.
When they approached within a short
distance Of the poteen brewery, they
concealed their horses in a rayine aud
made their way to the still-house on foot,
but were chagrined at finding the appa-
Fatus had been removed.
Recognizing the futilisy of further
search, they went back toward their
horses, but before reaching them were
fred on by men in ambush who got in
the rear Of the officers aud met them
between two 6res. Several v~olleys were
fred by both sides, but owing to the
darkness only oae of the revenue men
was hit, he receiving a flesh wound in
tHe leg. The officers then made a dash
for the horse of Mr.. Wilson, a short dis
lance of, and sent him TO bring up their
horses, which he did, but the mountain.
GERS had cut up the saddles, and even
gashed the animals with their knives.
The distillers were about fifteen strong
and were highly eHraged against the
officers, whom they vowed should never
leave the place alive, and it was only at
the urgent solicitation of Mr.. Wilson
that they RETAINED from trying to storm
the house. After a time, howe yer, they
cooled down and sent in q delegation
with a flag Of truce to effect a compro.
mise, which was not Acceded to, and il is
highly probable hat the majority Of
them will figure before the Federal Court
for their completely in the assault on
Uncle Sans servants.

Some days since there appeared in the

It now turns ont that the girl eloped with
the negro, and that the outrage, if any
was committed upon society, was com.
mitted by her. The Baiesville Miss
Blade, Of the 10Th. contains the follow
lug account Of the elopement, and the
subsequent numbering Of the negro:
Last week we announced the elope.
ment Of Miss Mary Perkins with George
Wrehn, and we nov have to mi
that the fugitives we're followed and cap
tured in Tate county. We are Informed
by a party who knows, that mr.. Perkins
and several others went 10 3 negro church
and asked the congregation whether or
not e white girl and a. negro man had
been seen together 10 that n~eighborhood,
and we're informed that the parties were
at that time at the house Of a negro wo-
man then in the congregation. A guide
was procured and the party went to the
negro's house, but we're refused admit
lance. The white men took a rail
and battered down tie door, and
in the house they found Miss
Perkins seated By a small fire and Geo.
Wrenn covered up in bed. Miss Perkins
was placed 10 charge Of a party Of friends
and started for home, while Mr.. Perkins,
and others Of the party tied George and
followed on behind. Before they reached
here, George managed to escape and has
not since been heard of. This is a sad
affair. A young life bae been blighted
and a deep shadow cast upon a once
prosperous and contented family. But
we hope that it will be q warning to
fathers, and cause them to watch more
jealousy the character and actions of all
men who are allowed upon their premises.
