ard the authorities taking steps to protect
him III case of an attempt at iynchiug, which is
fesred. Feeling runs high in the section whore
the shooting occurred. At every post-o flee and
pablo place knots Of men gather and discuss the
shooting. Threats OF ynChing are freely indug-
cd in by Wheeler's friends, but as yet no demon
stration hiss been made. Bye, In speaking of the
shooting, said: THE reason that 1 shot Wheeler
that he WAS coming towards me after he had
got out Of hs buggy and had got as far IS the fence
with his hands on the rail, and telling me he was
going to have satisfaction After he refused to STOP
after my telling him to do 80, l shot him." He
further said Wheeler had locked up his neice in
the school-room, and accused her Of circulating
false reports, and tried injure the girl by max
ing her out a liar, and for that he had sent word
to Wheeler that he WAS no gentleman. Bye is

Dcmeut's Confederate Artillery. He enlisted at
Fredericksburg in 1861, and served three years

meddlssome mau, and has not many friends. The
feeling against him is very strong and bitter.

Tying TO the visitors, who had been led to be-
lieve that 1t was disputed that they had any
