We had the pleasure last Tuesday

ES' Last Wednesday morning Mr.
j, NJ. Richardson, who had properly
authenticated papers from the Gov,
errors Of Tennessee and Georgia,
brought Albert c, Price from near
Rome, Ga, to Winchester, tor trial,
charged with the murder of Mr.. Hardy
Smith, OF this county, during the war.
Mr.. Price is nov in Jail, awaiting trial.
We understand that $500 was offered
for his apprehension, Mr.. Price was
n good carpenter, and lived in Win
chester FOR several years previous to
the war, and, so far as we know, bore
a good character, His brother, Frank,
was a member Of Col. Turncy's regi-
ment, and all Of us who we're in Col.
T,'s regiment, will remember that
Frank took sick, came home on fur
Tough, and died, A. G. Prices family,
it appears, were badly treated by
marauding Federal soldiers during the
war, and Mr.. Price became in turn n
marauder himself, if reports be true.
That he killed Hardy Smith is yet to
be proven. That he was in the crowd
when Hardy Smith was murdered, he
has admitted to us, Mr.. Smith was a
most estimable gentleman, and it is
but natural that his many friends and
relatives should seek to ferret ont and
take revenge upon the man who mur-
dered him.
Since writing the above the trial Of
Mr.. Price has commenced before Esqrs.
Merritt, Bowling and Martin, Mcssrs.
Fitzpatrick d. Gregory prosecuting,
and Messrs. Arlcdge & Francis for de
PENDANT. The testimony Of Mrs.
widow of Hardy Smith, is Ger.

very periodically declines to let his
name be an obstacle to the success OF

Nevertheless, he says he will not be 81

spicuous of leaders," And so he will.

never stole anything, but acted accord,
ing to his conscience during the war.
1t is really n pity he ever turned over
the School Fund to the Brownlow

But Gov. Harris stands justified. Let

will come. We make the proposition
that arrangements be made at once for
