EVANSVILLE, Sept. IA desperate fight &C.
cured at Stevenson's, twenty miles from this
city. yesterday afternoon. over . political discus
sion between intoxicated men The leader in
the melee was Dunk Fuqua, q desperate charac-
ter, who has long been a terror of the ne;ehbor-
hood. he accused VIM. Jones and John Hall of
tearing down an American flag from over the
coor of his fathers grocery. This led to hot
words, when Fuqua knocked Jones down aud
began kicking him in the ribs. Hall inter-
fered, and he was promptly knocked
down with Q bludeeon in the bands of Ben
Leach, a friend of Fuqua's. In the meantime
Jones jumped up. and drawing a dirk, stabbed
Fuqua three times in the back. Fuqua was
finally taken in charge by Albert Jones, who
found him sinking from his wounds, and took
him into the nearest house, where medical at
,ention was summoned. At the last report he
was said to be in q dying condition. The other
parties, including Henry Pueh and W. F. Girls
well, were pretty badly used up, but their
wounds are not serious. Fuqua is q very bad
man. and but little sympathy is felt for him.
Jones was arrested and lodged in Jail to-day.

courses in his 'Note Book on the Travis Dor

said in the papers, and which the owner wishes
to sell to the government. He regards the ac-

urges that it is not necessary to purchase it be-
cause it is an exceptionally good likeness since
excellent portraits Of the martyr President are
by no means rare. He also talks Of the risks of

to do by fear Of discovery. We were not
to say anything about Campbell being only
u citizen; and were to refuse under all cir
cumstances to tell who our engineer was.
Admitting that we were under the Or
ders Of Andrews would not in the least
embarrass him, for this much could be
proved from what he was actually seen to
do on the train, and he had already de-
clared as much when captured. But we
never revealed anything that would throw
light on his employment as spy in our
service. The story which we thus planned
to tell was so closely adhered to that the
enemy never learned that we were volun-
teers and intelligent participants in the
enterprise.
None of us knew just the line of de-
Tense taken by Andrews, or upon what he
based the hopes he did, certainly, to some
extent, entertain; but the following is the
most probable:
He was known to the southerners as q
blockade runner. This trade, if he could
only persuade the Federals TO permit it.,
was of great advantage to the Confeder-
ates. He might afford to do good deal
for the Federals, and the balance of adj
vantage be still on the Confederate side.
Now he claimed that he was offered by
CINE, the privilege of trading south to the
extent of $4,000 per month as long as the
war lasted, on the simple condition that
no would seize an engine and carry it
through, he (MitcheD supplying the men
for the enterprise. Andrews did disclaim
to the enemy that he intended to burn any
bridges, or do any harm beyond the COM
paratively trifling one of carrying of this
engine.
The defense was but feeble, though it
was possibly as good as could be made
under the circumstances. But the enemy
had no notion that u Federal general like
Mitchell would send his men away down
to the heart of Georgia for an engine,
when, as experience showed, he had been
able to get them by the score in kentucky
and Alabama.
No decision had been publicly rendered,
when suddenly twelve of us were ordered
to Knoxville, Tenn. Our parting with
Andrews was sad and solemn, for we had
little hope of meeting again, and our
worst forebodings were realized. Before
this we had been removed to Madison,
Ga, under fear of an advance by Gen.
Mitchell; and when we returned the great
indulgence of q short daily airing in the
Jail yard was given. On warm after
noon, when the remaining nine were in
the yard, an unknown officer entered the
gate and went quickly up to Andrews;
without q word he handed him paper
contained in q large envelope, and turning
away walked rapidly out of the yard.
Andrews broke the seal and glanced at it,
turning pale as marble. 1t was his death
warrant All who saw him felt that some
tidings of evil had arrived, and the officer
Of the guard spoke very gently as he told
them that it was now time to retire to
their room. When there, Andrews gave
his comrades the paper and they read the
fearful intelligence. In one week-July

This was Saturday, and on the Saturday

But Wollam was not drowned. He
spent the day in much anxiety and sus-
pcnsc and when night came he cautiously
left his hiding place and worked his way
along the river on tho very front of Chatta
nooga, TIL he came across caSoe which
he borrowed for the occasion-without
seeing the owncr-and rowcd down stream
all night. This was swift mode of pro-
gression. AS soon as he saw sign of
dawn he sought retired place, sunk the
canoe, and hid in the woods till night al
lowed him to proceed. This he did daily
for n week. Twice he was saved il he
had but known it, Gen. Mitchell had
constructed an extemporiZed gunboat
with which 20 patrol tho river, and twice
Wollam passed within hail of it. But he
had heard nothing of any such Union
craft being on the river, and imagined it
to be some Confederate boat, perhaps
searching for him. In the dark it was
not easy to sec any indications of its char
acter. So the poor boy crept cautiously
by in the shadow of the shore without be-
ing discovered
But at last he made the mistake that
Wood and Wilson had made long before.
He imagined that he was safe, and went
boldly forward in the daytime. One moro
nights journey by boat, or half that time
put in on foot directly northward, would
have carried him safely beyond the border.
But as he was going forward. congratu-
lating himself on having succeeded so
well, band of Confederate cavalry, who
were making q raid into Mitchel's terri
tory, saw him, and, procuring boat with
several pair Of oars, camo out to meet
him. Wollam saw his danger, and there
was hot chase, but the advantage was
oil on their side. He was retaken, and as
usual tried to deceive them as to his cher
acter; but Lieut.. Edwards, who had
been with the party who captured him tho
first time, identified him, and he was re-
united with his comrades in Atlanta.

Mr.. William M. Hughes of
Shibleys Point, was Al years old
on the 18th day of January last
and passed to higher life GU the
9TH day of April, 1888.
Mr.. Hughes was an honest toiler
among the worlds workers; carry
ing on farming and black smithing,
and the clear ring of this hammer
on the glowing steel was fitting
type of the sterling qualities OF
his character that won the respect
and admiration of all who knew
him. In his family he was a kind
and loving husband and father,
ever ready to do all in his power to
please his wife and children, max
ing their happiness and welfare
his chief JOY. Though the "silver
cord" is broken and the spirit has
gone to its home on high, the sor-
rowing ones have the full assur-
ance that knowledge can give, that
the family circle, broken by the
angel t1at takes them one by one,
will again be united and remain
unbroken and complete through
the glorious cycles of an immortal
life.
Out ofthe clasp of earthly friends,
To the angels greeting work and kiss;
Out OF the tolls the Father sends,
To an eternity of bliss.
Out OF the trying scenes of earth,
I hat test the souls unmeasured power;
Into its home of glorious birth,
To its full heritage and dover.
Out of the mists that here enfold
The earthly form ofchangeful clay;
Into the joy and bliss untold
That waits the spirit in endless day. s.
