covered to be on fire. They remained
drawn up on deck waiting. The wind was

heavy swell. Most Of the stcerage passen-

screamed horribly. The course Of the YES

her into the most frequented track OF ship

was found to be red-hot. II the fire had
continued to shoot any time longer 1t must

Charles and Robert Ford, who, at
one time, belonged to the James

excitement over the affair, several
thousand people being on the streets
The wife of the desperate was on

shooting and wept eopiously over
his remains. The body was taken

Fatal stabbing Array in Loudon Count,

Fatal Stabbing ARRAY in Loudon County.
We have information of a fatal stabbing
affray Saturday evening, April 1st, at
Cooks mill, on Pond Creek, Loudon
County, between William Wright and
Samuel Bacon, which resulted in the death
of the former Statements of the facts
have been furnished US by two correspond.
ents, from which we gather the following:
1t seems that crowd of men and boys
were gathered at the mill, and Wright and
Bacon, among others, were wagering the
cigars on guessing at the weight of differ
ent persons. Wright had to set up the
cigars several times, on account of bad
guessing, but when it came Bacon's turn to
'set 'em up" he refused. Wright, in fun,
suggested that he would make Bacon
set them up, whereupon Bacon became
enraged and made at Bacon with his knife,
cutting him severely in several places on
the hand, arm and head, splitting his left
ear, but infiicting fatal stab under the left
arm. The knife penetrated the lung and
exposed the heart.
Leaving Wright weltering in his gore,
Bacon started TO run off, but Wright rose
with weight in his hand and threw it at
Bacon, knocking him down. Bacon rose
again, however, and made good his escape
Wright was carried to the house of Rufus
Wilson, and Doctors Harrison and Mourfeld,
of Loudon, summoned to attend him. He
lay in speeehless condition until Sunday
evening, at 4 o'clock, when he expired.
The deceased was a single man, about %
Yeas of age, said to be man of some
property.
Sam Bacon is younger brother of Than
Bacon, has wife and two children. He
had not been heard from at last accounts,
but it is understood that Sheriff Foute was
III pursuit. Both the parties were under
the influence of whisky at the time of the
afray.

DASTARDLY WORK.
Meek's school House, Near the Plains.
Burned by Incendiaries.

Meek's school House, Near the Plains.
Buraed by Incendiaries.
Information reaches us through our
worthy friend, Mr.. Milo McBee, jr., of a
dastardly piece of work which was perpe-
rrated, Monday night, in the neishborhood
of Strawberry Plains. The school
house known as Meek's school house,
was burned to the ground by the
hand of unknown and villainously-
disposed incendiaries. We also learn
that anonymous notes were left for the in
spection of Col Jehn NJ. Meek, to the effect
that both he and his aged father, A. K.
Meek, ESQ.,, would be burned out, unless
certain things were done. 1t was piece of
yillainy which de serves the condemnation
of all good citizens, and it is to be hoped
that every effort will be made to ferret out
the guilty parties and bring them to justice.
T4e house was a good and comfortable
frame building, costing several hundred
dollars. Whether there was any insurance
or not we are not informed. A successful
school, with about 81 scholars, was being
taught there by Miss Luttrell, daughter o.
Mr. Frank Luttrell, of this city.

A difficulty occurred on Elk Fork. III

extension of the Knoxville and Ohio Rail-
road He got into quarrel with the col
ored man, the particulars of which we dia
not hear. He drew a revolver and fired 1--WE
or three shots at the colored man withou
effect. The colored man seized a heavy
bludgeon, and Jefreys became in
xolved in the fight, and it being
dark the colored man struck him blow Oh
the head, which fractured the skull, killing
him almost instantly. 1t is suppofed tha
he thought he was striking at Stump, AM
that the killing of Jeffreys was uninten
tional We did not understand that he haa
yet been arrested.

The County Poor AsYlum.

From Nj. W. Huffaker, Esq, one of the
commissioners, we learn that some valuable
and needed work has been recently done at
the Knox County poor asylum, which is To-
Gated in the 3rd district, near House Noun
tain, under the superintendent of w. J.
Larue. A building has been erected, to be
used as an asylum for the confinement of
insane persons, for whom admission into the
State asylum cannot be obtained. 1t is
well fitted up, with wooden cages, &c
Four new rooms have been constructed.
and porch 1S0 feet, along the entire front
There are now 76 inmates, all getting along
well. The commissioners and keeper have
performed their work well and deserve not
only thanks, but liberal appropriation
from the court
1t may be interesting to many of our
readers to know that crazy Dave jackson is
now an inmate of that institution. He was
taken there in November last, with his leg
broken, which is now entirely well. He
