THF ASSASSINATION OF ED. SHORT.
AT KNOXVILLE.

AT KNOXVILLE.
A correspondent at Knoxville gives
usthe neutrality-suspicious. concerning
the brutal and cOwardly assassination
of Ed. Short, mentioned in these col
umns last week just as we were going
to press:
On the night of Feb. LIST at 8: 20, Mr..
Short and his wife were sitting at the
desk in the depot Office making out the
ticket report, when some unknown person
crept up to the rear window aud fired a
load of buckshot into his back, killing
him almost instantly. Nine large shot
entered his body severing the spinal
column, some passing through the lungs
and heart.
The Natchez Banner says strong circum-
stantial evidence prevails against two
men, Hood aud Bass, who have been ar
rested. Short recently gave Hood
thrashiug for a remark about his wife,
aud he had since then threatened the life
of Short several times. Bass was Hood 5
bosom friend. Their shoes fit exactly two
different tracks at the points whence the
shot was fired. An empty breech loader
wadfound at Hoods house with sand in
the barrel like that around the depot
1t is to he hoped that the guilty parties,
whoever they are, may be brought to
speedy justice.
DIR. Traer, the well known phrenologist,
is among us again and will give a series
of his incomparab lie lectures OH Phrenolo-
gy and kindred subjects. The Doctor
justly earned many friends among our
people last winter, and we hope his pres
ent stay may be equally pleasant and
profitable. No one should fail to hear
him.

was hard to abandon her now. She was
substantially uninjured. The engineers,
Brown sud knight, had taken good care
of her, and with wood and oil in abund-
ance, there would have been no difficulty
on her part in completing the run to
Huntsville. She was still jogging along
at the rate of eight or ten miles an hour,
and could maintain that pace u little
longer. The pursuers had also diminished
their speed, so as to just keep us in sight,
having apparently no wish to press upon
what may have seemed to them like q
wounded and dying lion. The command
to 'jump off and scatter" was repeated
with the injunction to be quick about it,
as the engineer wished to reverse the en-
CINE and drive it back upon the enemy.
With such q reason there could be no
more hesitation. 1t is said that some
three or four had already got off at the
first word of commando; but the most Of
us had hesitated, not on account of the
still rapid motion Of the train, but in the
idle hope that in some way this terrible
parting might be averted. Now one
after another clambered down on the step
and swung off. / was neither among
the first nor the last, and jumping unskill-
fully out from the step, instead of for
ward, whirled over and over on hands and
feet for several revolutions. Rising in a
dazed condition, though unhurt, with the
exception of few scratches from the
briers with which the place abounded,
looked over the animated scene with the
deepest interest. The men who jumped
off were, according to instructions, flying
in different directions, few others were
just coming off the engine in much the
same way that / had done, while the en-
gineers were attempting to carry out their
scheme of reversing the engine, which
could do no good now, except possibly Ito

CHAPTER XIV.

HUNTED IN THE WOODS BY DOGS AND MEN.
Dispersed in the woods with no knowl-
edge Of the country, and no guide toward
our own lines; with the alarm spreading
in every direction, and the hearts of the
people on fire with fierce resentment be-
cause of the desperate character of our
raid, the prospect of escape for any of our
number was slight indeed. The south
was also better prepared for hunting
down fugitives than any other people
could have been where slavery was not
an established institution. Tracking men
over hills and mountains was no novelty;
and now for scores of miles in every di-
rection from Chattanooga roads and fer
ries were guarded, cavalry galloped along
the roads, and the planters with their
packs of negro hunting dogs explored
every wood. Unfortunately, too, n ready
mode of Identifying any member of the
band who might be captured was soon
discovered. On the way south we had
represented ourselves as from Fleming
county, Ky. This story was still con-
tinued. The first arrests were made the
very same day so close to the train that
after this story. had been told the men
were positively traced back to the train,
and then all who gave the same story were
known to belong to us.
We expected to die as soon as captured;
and there was degree Of evaporation
which rendered the risk of instant shoot
ing or hanging very great. But there was
also desire for further investigation and
discovery which would be cut short by
sudden Staying of the victim, and this
operated to bridge over the first furious
moment of capture, but did not prevent
the most fearful threats, and in one case
that Of Parrott-a fearful beating 1t
also led to rigor of claiming and confine-
ment almost unparalleled.
We can only give the very briefest ac-
count of these painful incidents, and will
gladly hasten to other things

Five were captured the first day; seven,
including myself, on the next day, which
was Sunday. The sufferings endured
even in this brief interval from hunger,
labor and suspense were indescribable.
Andrews and two companions were taken
on Monday; six more were captured near
the close of the week, having, however,
gone no further than l had done the first
day. This left only two of the whole
party at large, who, by getting boat and
drifting down the Tennessee, got virtually
within the Union lines, but then go
ing boldly forward in the daytime were
arrested by band of Confederate guer-
rillas and brought back some two weeks
after leaving the train. This completed
the capture of the whole party, and to this
terrible pass had our hopeful enterprise
resolved itself We had been told that to
fall into the enemy's power was inevita-
BILE death, and we had no reason to doubt
it. Nothing In our treatment was of such
nature as to inspire us with hope. We
were chained and tied in barbarous fash
ion, and confined I'm the most loathsome
dungeons, dark, filthy, and often under
ground, in Dalton, Marietta and else
where. Our food was of the coarest and
most scantv character. We were assured
