Lat Wednesday, th little village of ttar-rettsvill- e, in this county was the scene of a bloody and fatal rencountrc, between a mau by the name of McGinnis and two brothers by the name of Gammons. We have no particulars, but learn that the affray was the result of an obi family fued. In the fight, the Gammon's killed MeGinni-!- , cutting his throat from year to year. The Gammons' were arrested and taken to Newborn for trial. Djrrt' lurj Gazette. The National Intelligeucer lets us " out of the woods" as to which side the influence of President Johnson will be thrown. It concludes an editorial in these words: " His policy is that of the country, and the election of Seymour and Rlair, while restoring peace, pros- perity and Constitutional liberty, will be the vindication by a grateful people of President Johnson and the policy he presented." "Let us Have Peace." A crazy carpet-bagge- r, who edits a paper at San Antonio, Texas, thus ventilao his murderous plans : " We say give us a loyal militia, let them be as black as the sable hinges of Dante's Inferno; mount them with rebel steed, pay them with rebel money, and start them on their mission to ride down the bold men who shed loyal blood." This fellow is for carrying out Grant's demand for "peace"-r-th- e peace that reigns in a house when ail the lawful in- mates are murdered. Tlie lYaynesboro Tragedy. Reports have reached Nashville of a bloody tragedy at Waynesboro on Satur- day last. A large squad of negroes were in a field drilling, all armed with guns. They were approached by a number of lingthem they wished to be their f riends and asked them to desist from their mili- tary preparations. The negroes then stacked their arms and the citizens re- turned, but after they had gone a little ways they were ambushed Vy the Sheriff and a Ianre posse. I he negroes who were drilling took no pjart in the shoot- ing. A large number of citizens in Waynesboro and the surrounding coun- try, on learning of the affair, at once armed and went to the scene of conflict. Pickets were thrown out, and every pre- paration made for a terrible fight. --- is supposed that a bloody encounter must have occurred, but at this writing noth- ing more has come t har.d. ' The murder of RlerSeld at Franklin on Saturday nicht was not prompted by political considerations. About a month since, a little white girl named Ezell was outraged by a negro, who was shortly af- ter taken from the jail and hung. Two days afterwards, the girl,s brother was shot dead by a -- lot of negroes, and itisj now proved that Bierfield instigated the latter murder. There are no doubts that Ezell's friends killed Rierfi. Id by way of retaliation. The Coroner's jury, compos ed of Radicals aud rebels, rendered a verdict that tho killing of Saturday night was accidental. Whether politics had anything to do with the matter or not, one thing is certain, that bitter feuds and animosities exist among all parties, wjbich require but little fauuiug to in- flame to a bloody strife. Tlie Tennesse e Incendiaries. We have heretofore referred to an ex- posed plot to burn the towns of Nash- ville, Franklin, Columbia, Pulaski, and Murfi eesboro. One John Carper, it ap- pears, was at the head of the affair. An investigation proved the following facts. We copy from the Nashvillo Uuion and DLpatch : 1. That John Carper i.- a bold, resolute man, and sincerely believesikat the ne- gro is superior to, or, fcast should govern the white man. Upon this sul -- ject some of the witnesses thought he was a monomaniac, and this was the only evidence of his being crazy. 2. That he has always been a man of intense feelings; demonstrative, bitter, aud relentless towards adversaries, or those he did not like. 3. That for several weeks nast he has been in the habit of congregating large cumbers of negroes at his house, Loth day and night, especially on Sunday, and has constantly taught them that they could not copo with the whites in open 2 war, and their true mode of warfare was by burning houses when thing" should start: aud that the advice applied to Nashville, Fraukliu, Columbia, l'ulas-k- i, aud Murl'reesboro. 4. The proof further showed, as we are it-- . rined the writer of'-t'w.- not be at on.u tte-J this plan otcona,,ct;.ig a f ri:ce-.an- d that he intends to load it; that his wife encourages him iu it by say- ing she is prepared to set fire to her own house when the time comes ; and that he advises the killing of ail ages aud mxcs. 5. The proof further showed that Car- per was a mau of some property ; that he is a money-makin- g man ; that he always has mouey on deposit; that he is prompt and accurate in his business transactions; that he is a man of truth; that he is kiud to his friends, except when enraged. (I. That evidence showed that the ne- groes have respect for and confidence in him. 7. The evidence showed further that the number of negroes iu around town is from ouo to five thousaud greater than uual, and that many of them an dril- ling iu variou localities daily. The Tennessee prcs is Arongly ad- vocating the repudiation of all bonds uecccssary to support the militia, provi- ded that latter arc called out. There is no doubt that efforts will be made all over the State to carry this into effect, which will add further to the existing complications. The pressure in favor of prosecuting the Democratic canvass is so stroug from all directions that it is now certain that the ticket will not be with- drawn with 50, OUO militia in the field. A movement to get the President to remove Gcu. Geo. II. Thomas from his command in Kentucky and Tennessee is pro.-se-u very earnestly by the Conserva tives f'ror;i this quaiter. They i . t , that Gen. Thomas is even more Radical than Rrowulow. A Tennessee paper says: "I'romj present indications tlie Radicals of this J t'tate will have a one-side- d race, the C'on-servativ- being disposed to withdraw from the contest. We understand that the Hon. Ktn. IJthridgo ,&ays hu will make no speeches." The question as to whether or not Dyer county, Tennessee, shall take stock to the amount of one hundred and lii'ty thousand dollars iu the Mississippi liiv-e- r Railruad. is now being thoroughly can- vassed, and will be determined bv a vote ou the 1th of next month. The Crop Prospects. Our informa- tion from all sections of Kentucky and We; tern Tciinc.-sc- e is that the prospects for lame crops of corn and tobacco were never better. The season has been re- markably fine and the crops have boon well cultivated. From the cotton-growin- g region of West Tenncsee, and also from North Mississippi, the accounts are that the crop is very fine. We can but rejoice at such pro.-pcct- d of abundance. The Banner.

It is said that General Rosecrans has gone to Virginia to see General Lee. General George II.FiSnia has gone to Kuoxville to vieit Governor Browulow. General Saunders Piatt, of Ohio, has left the Radical party, and openly announced himself for Seymour and Blair. Si gel is for Seymour. So are they who fouslit with hiin. Council IroccedIiigr..

Mont: "Rebel Outrages." LatWednesday, th little village of ttar-rettsvill- e,

in this county was the scene ofa bloody and fatal rencountrc, between amau by the name of McGinnis and twobrothers by the name of Gammons. Wehave no particulars, but learn that theaffray was the result of an obi familyfued. In the fight, the Gammon's killedMeGinni-!- , cutting his throat from yearto year. The Gammons' were arrestedand taken to Newborn for trial. Djrrt'lurj Gazette.

The National Intelligeucer lets us" out of the woods" as to which side theinfluence of President Johnson will be

thrown. It concludes an editorial inthese words: " His policy is that of thecountry, and the election of Seymourand Rlair, while restoring peace, pros-

perity and Constitutional liberty, will be

the vindication by a grateful people ofPresident Johnson and the policy he

presented."

"Let us Have Peace." A crazycarpet-bagge- r, who edits a paperat San Antonio, Texas, thus ventilaohis murderous plans :

" We say give us a loyal militia, letthem be as black as the sable hinges ofDante's Inferno; mount them with rebelsteed, pay them with rebel money, andstart them on their mission to ride downthe bold men who shed loyal blood."

This fellow is for carrying out Grant'sdemand for "peace"-r-th- e peace thatreigns in a house when ail the lawful in-

mates are murdered.

Tlie lYaynesboro Tragedy.Reports have reached Nashville of a

bloody tragedy at Waynesboro on Satur-day last. A large squad of negroes werein a field drilling, all armed with guns.They were approached by a number of

lingthem they wished to be their f riendsand asked them to desist from their mili-tary preparations. The negroes thenstacked their arms and the citizens re-

turned, but after they had gone a littleways they were ambushed Vy the Sheriffand a Ianre posse. I he negroes whowere drilling took no pjart in the shoot-ing. A large number of citizens inWaynesboro and the surrounding coun-try, on learning of the affair, at oncearmed and went to the scene of conflict.Pickets were thrown out, and every pre-

paration made for a terrible fight. --- issupposed that a bloody encounter musthave occurred, but at this writing noth-

ing more has come t har.d.' The murder of RlerSeld at Franklinon Saturday nicht was not prompted bypolitical considerations. About a monthsince, a little white girl named Ezell wasoutraged by a negro, who was shortly af-

ter taken from the jail and hung. Twodays afterwards, the girl,s brother wasshot dead by a --lot of negroes, and itisjnow proved that Bierfield instigated thelatter murder. There are no doubts thatEzell's friends killed Rierfi. Id by way ofretaliation. The Coroner's jury, composed of Radicals aud rebels, rendered averdict that tho killing of Saturday nightwas accidental. Whether politics hadanything to do with the matter or not,one thing is certain, that bitter feudsand animosities exist among all parties,wjbich require but little fauuiug to in-

flame to a bloody strife.

Tlie Tennesse e Incendiaries.We have heretofore referred to an ex-

posed plot to burn the towns of Nash-ville, Franklin, Columbia, Pulaski, andMurfi eesboro. One John Carper, it ap-pears, was at the head of the affair. Aninvestigation proved the following facts.We copy from the Nashvillo Uuion andDLpatch :

1. That John Carper i.- a bold, resoluteman, and sincerely believesikat the ne-gro is superior to, or, fcast shouldgovern the white man. Upon this sul --

ject some of the witnesses thought hewas a monomaniac, and this was the onlyevidence of his being crazy.

2. That he has always been a man ofintense feelings; demonstrative, bitter,aud relentless towards adversaries, orthose he did not like.

3. That for several weeks nast he hasbeen in the habit of congregating largecumbers of negroes at his house, Lothday and night, especially on Sunday, andhas constantly taught them that theycould not copo with the whites in open 2war, and their true mode of warfare wasby burning houses when thing"should start: aud that the advice appliedto Nashville, Fraukliu, Columbia, l'ulas-k- i,

aud Murl'reesboro.4. The proof further showed, as we

are it-- . rined the writer of'-t'w.- not beat

on.u tte-J this plan otcona,,ct;.ig af ri:ce-.an- d that he intends to load it;

that his wife encourages him iu it by say-

ing she is prepared to set fire to her ownhouse when the time comes ; and that headvises the killing of ail ages aud mxcs.

5. The proof further showed that Car-

per was a mau of some property ; that heis a money-makin- g man ; that he alwayshas mouey on deposit; that he is promptand accurate in his business transactions;that he is a man of truth; that he iskiud to his friends, except when enraged.

(I. That evidence showed that the ne-

groes have respect for and confidence inhim.

7. The evidence showed further thatthe number of negroes iu around town isfrom ouo to five thousaud greater thanuual, and that many of them an dril-ling iu variou localities daily.

The Tennessee prcs is Arongly ad-

vocating the repudiation of all bondsuecccssary to support the militia, provi-

ded that latter arc called out. There is

no doubt that efforts will be made allover the State to carry this into effect,which will add further to the existingcomplications. The pressure in favor ofprosecuting the Democratic canvass is so

stroug from all directions that it is nowcertain that the ticket will not be with-

drawn with 50, OUO militia in the field.

A movement to get the President to

remove Gcu. Geo. II. Thomas from hiscommand in Kentucky and Tennessee is

pro.-se-u very earnestly by the Conservatives f'ror;i this quaiter. They i . t ,

that Gen. Thomas is even more Radicalthan Rrowulow.

A Tennessee paper says: "I'romjpresent indications tlie Radicals of this J

t'tate will have a one-side- d race, the C'on-servativ-

being disposed to withdrawfrom the contest. We understand thatthe Hon. Ktn. IJthridgo ,&ays hu willmake no speeches."

The question as to whether or notDyer county, Tennessee, shall take stockto the amount of one hundred and lii'tythousand dollars iu the Mississippi liiv-e- r

Railruad. is now being thoroughly can-

vassed, and will be determined bv a voteou the 1th of next month.

The Crop Prospects. Our informa-tion from all sections of Kentucky andWe; tern Tciinc.-sc-e is that the prospectsfor lame crops of corn and tobacco werenever better. The season has been re-

markably fine and the crops have boonwell cultivated. From the cotton-growin- g

region of West Tenncsee, and also

from North Mississippi, the accounts arethat the crop is very fine. We can butrejoice at such pro.-pcct-d of abundance.

It is said that General Rosecrans hasgone to Virginia to see General Lee.

General George II.FiSnia has goneto Kuoxville to vieit Governor Browulow.

General Saunders Piatt, of Ohio,has left the Radical party, and openlyannounced himself for Seymour andBlair.
