PATRICK COUNTY.

FEBRUARY 70, 1871.
Editors Dispatch: Virginians will keep
I'D that ancient custom OF attending court.
| This was fully verified on yesterday by the
large number Of our countymen out at our
courthouse. The weather being delightful,
and our people being anxious to hear the
final decision OF the presidential farce,
brought out an unusually large gathering.
We. however, had no court. Our Judge had
to attend the Federal Court in Danville,
where nearly all OF our county lawyers had
also gone, besides many OF our citizens
some as Jurors, accused, and rs witnesses.
| We have never before seen such general
dissatisfaction, such gloom and despond-
ency, with all classes OF people, at the re-
cent outrage, cheat, and sWindle perpe-
trated upon the voters OF these States by the
tyrants at Washington. God only knows
when or where this high-handed defeat OF
the will of the people will end. The phi
lanthropiSt and patriot can only sec evil for
the future. ".#.I
We have had quite an excitement in this
quiet neighborhood for the last two weeks,
caused by the shooting and killing Of one
Samuel Houchens (colored) by William a.
Burwell, ESQ., This unfortunate occurrence.
happened on the 14th instant near our Court
house, Burwen and Houchens had some
shucks together ina pen. Houchens drove
his team to the pen and began to load with
ont consulting Burwell, who, riding up to
| where Houchens, and vile were engaged
loading their cart, called upon them to de-
sist. which they refused to do, when Bur
we'll drove theteam from the pen afeW feet
and got ON the shucks, sitting at the time
that he wanted no difficulty. Houchens's
wife then engaged with Burwell, calling to
her husband, saying, Let. US take the
tshucks; ! that no white man should
have them. At this instant her ,hus-
band advanced with a. large stick up
! lifted at BurwelL The latter, after calling
upon the deceased to stand back, fred The
bali passde through both lungs, causing
almost instant death. Burwell atonce gave
himself up, and was tried by Justices Witt
and Smith and discharged. 4 The, negroes
showing so much dissatisfaction the coro-
| ner thought it advisable to have the body
| of the said Samuel Houchens ZeXhumed
! and jury of inquest, which was done, as
the law directs, on, the 21st instant, and
post-inortem examination made by Drs.-
Joseph and John. Bishop, which inyestlga--
ton was only to establish Burwell's plea Oh
self-defence. Houchens was stout, Tear
less, and desperate man, and had beeneshot
twice before. 6 Burwell represented this
county for several years, prior to the, war,
and has been q praeticing lawyer for many
years; IS well acquainted and extensively
connected in this State..,,,:s':c, ~, PATRICK.
