In Barnwell county q war of races is threatened Robert Norris fwh;te) is mis- sing. His overeoat and gun have been found in the woods near Bambcrg. The be- lief is that Morris has been murdered by negroes who had difficulty with his brother, and that his body has been concealed in the swamp. The whites arc assembling to cap- ture the murdercrs, and the negroes are col lccting to resist.
 At Blackvilc. in Barnwell county, Isaac Taylor. colored. purchased q double barreled guu and loaded it with buckshot. l.. Dewitt, white, with whom he had quarrelcd, hearing of the purchase, went out in the street with his ouhle-barreed gun. As soon ns he saw his enemy he fired on him. Taylor didn' t fire Dewitt emptied both barrels of his gun, and when the negro fell. resumed the fire with his revoivsr, emptying five barrels into him as he laid upon the ground.

 A bill was introduced in the House by Con- gressman s.
