Several accidents occurred OF a painful
though not serious character. The sympa-
thy OF the community Is with the sufferers
by the confagration.~ -
Whether this destruction OF property VIII
be to our people warning remains to be
seen. For Charlottesville this is an I'M

Richmond Detectiycs--A Dangerous
Job.
TOWNSVILLE, LEE COUNTY, VA, !
Eehruary oR 1871

JONESVlLLE, LEE COUNTY, VA,
February 26, 1877. {
Editors of the Richmond Dispatch:
Gentlemen thinking it may interest
some OF your readers to know what two
of your Richmond detectives, Robert B..
Craddock and w. F. Rodgers, (who have
been in this county hunting gang Of
robbers and iail-breakers,) are doing drop
you few lines. After becoming almost
disheartened on account OF the bad
weather they struck the trail OF Robert
Wells, and Craddock run him to his hole
in johnson county, n.y., after following
him over 800 miles, and brought him back
on rcquisition and lodged him in our Jail.
Rodgers started Jonathan Wells, and after
long and tedious hunt housed him in
Wyoming county, w. Va, (Sun Hill
poSt-otce,) where he was ut work
for w. B. Shannon, storekeeper
and justice OF the peace. When Rodgers
and Wright entered the room where Wells
and two others were at work Rodgers said,
..Good morning, gentlemen; when Wells
rose from his seat and drew his pistol.
Rodgers and Wright drew theirs, and said,
"Consider yourself under arrest" Wells
covered them with his weapon. They fired.
Wells staggered and fired, missing them,
but hitting one OF his comrades, slightly
wounding him in the back. Rodgers
and Wright fired again, when Wells
cooked his pistol, but was too
weak TO shoot. Rodgers caught him
before he fell, and eased him down on bis
bench, when he died in five minutes. The
deputy sheriff and justice were present, and
gave Rodgers and Wright a certificate to
the effect that the shooting and killing was
done in self-defence in making the arrest
on reouisltion, Jonathan Wells had stated
to the peighborhood that he never would
be taken alive, but would die fighting
which he did. This Jonathan Wells was
one of a gang Of siX-nameiy, Ben. Jones,
DR., Anderson Wells, Robert Wells, u. w.
Blevins, and G.. w. Gilly, who turned States
evidence. Jones and Blevins are now In
the penitentiary. Bob Wells isa brother OF
DR.. A. Wells. Jonathan, who was Killed,
| is son, and Blevins married the Doctors
sister. The whole gang is now secure eX-
cent the Doctor, whom Craddock and Rodg-
ers are now after, with strong hopes OF sue
cess. Jonathan, with his father, was ar
rested some year or more ago. The Doctor
escaped from the guard on the way to Jail.
Jonathan was put in Jail at this place, but
was forcibly taken out by his father ana
others. Craddock and Rodgers have brought
| IN Favette Roberts and Russell Jones, two
| of the gang who broke the jail, and Will
soon have the balance. They, with the as
sistance Of Mr.. John Wright, OF Kentucky,
have made things pretty lively IN the way
OF catching thieves, and 1t has not been
good time for it, either. Is.

PACHARD'S NOTE TO PRESIDENT GRANT-AN
EXPORT TO ANTAGOHIZE HAYES AGAINST THE
PEOPLE OF LOUISIANA.
The following is Packard's' letter to
Grant:
Executive Office, Ne,o Orleans, la, March
>, 1S77.-Io the President: Statements are
authoritativcly made here that you have an
nounccd your purpose to withdraw United
States forces from the various positions to
which they have been assigned in the
interest OF peace and public will in
this city and State So soon as the
electoral vote shall have been de-
clared. 1t il further stated that
| assurances have been given on the part OF
| Nichols and his supporters-who L may
state ire identically the same organization
| under the name Of the White League that
rose in instruction against the State gov
eminent in 1874, and were suppressed by
your orders-that ii the support Of UNITED
States troops be withdrawn the government
OF which am the head would dsintegrate,
and Nichols be installed without violence
and bloodsbed. 1t is currently reported
and believed here on the other hand that
| the White League are under orders to at
tack the State House, and will attack it rs
soon as the soldiers are withdrawn from
the city, their purpose being. by the ami
hilation of the officers Of this. Government,
to leave no Republican State for your
successors recognition. The validity
of my title as Governor having been
passed upon by the only Tribunal
| known to the State laws, and being
| now confirmed by the decision OF the
National Tribunal, I deem it my duty to
| maintain the Government by all means at
my command. I therefore most respect
fully, but urgently, request to be informed
whether any changes be contemplated by
you IN the orders heretofore given to Gen
eral Anger, commanding this department,
| in order that I may be- able to take such
measures rs circumstances and my duty as
chief Executive OF the State may seem to
require. And again most respectfully re-
quest at your hands the recognition OF the
| legal State Goyernmet.
