Whilst Mr. Terry and Mrs. Wilson, at Ter ry'e spring—(abent equally distant from, and used by both families) ware talking about this letUr, her little sea aged about four years, sud Terry’s little son oboot the the same age, were ploying about the spring, and got up on the milk house over the milk jars. Tsrry told thsm to gst down and quit tbsir mischief or he would switch them both. They did not prompt- ly obey him, end he walked up towards thsm Mrs. Wilson’s son saw him coming and Jump, ed off Into a place of mud. He took down his own boy and * spanked” him. He then took her son out of the mud end shaking him light, ly, told him if he did not behave he would “ spank” him too. She says she thought noth ingof It; that Tarry had always made her ohildren mind him when they were playing about his house, and that she cared no more for it than if he bed keen her brother. A dey or two after this, she stopped at the house of out of the Wilson’s on her way to ths oity, to tall thsm cheat the Utter, when her little eon Johnny went to the spring where his oousin, Miss Wilson, was washing, and told bar that Tom Terry had whipped him. Miss Wilson came to tha house very engry end ask ad about it She told hsr how it was. During that svsning, at Wilson’s house where she was, aha told the eiroumstanbee over several times as aaoh of the family would come in and in quire about it. She said thsy seemed very mad, but that thay had an old grndgt against Terry, and were trying to make her mad at him also, and gst hsr to mov* off from his land; but she told them her husband had left her under Terry’s protection; that ha was kind to her end her children, and sha would not be influenced by them. It nppeare that James Wilton, some three years ago, sent his children to school to a fe male relative of Terry’s and refused, from some cause, to pay Mr. Terry, as her agent, the tui tfon fee: that at that time he went to Terry’i house to kill him, but was prevented by his pistol being exposed and seen by e relative of Terry’s, who was present end gave him warn- ing. He has never been satisfied sinoe, end within the last ten days told Mr. Kennedy he intended to have satisfaction for ths old soraps now; that he intended to go up to Terry laugh- log and knook him down before he could know he wae mad; and that, if he eonld not do that, he would go to his house, call him out and shoot him; and that he intended to have re- venge some dey. Mr. Kennedy says he advis ed him not to do so. Sevsral of Terry’s friends had recently cau tioned him against ths Wilsons, and told him of thair threats. The Wilsons are notoriously bad characters —always in difficulties—drinking and fight, ing, and ars regarded as bad and dangerous men. The preliminary examination of tha Wil sons will taka place to-day at 10 o’clock be. fore Justices Tnomas and Smith at thair of. floe. Our Jail. Wa earnestly ask the attention of our ex cellent Sheriff to the importance of having tha Jail well guarded, and to nse every pos sible precaution to pravent tha Wilsons, now in prison for the murder of Terry, from effect* ing an escape.

On Saturday afternoon, Henry Kettles and Henry North had n difficulty, on Marietta Street, when Nettles stabbed North, cutting him in several placaa in the back, across his right eye and face, on the left aide of his nsek, and through his right wrist. North isoonfined to his room, but was able to sit up yesterday, and was thought out of danpr. Nettles is still at large. Another. On yesterdey, A. Sieemore had a fight with a man named Smith, near Winship's Foundry, on Marietta Street. Sieemore struck Smith on the head with e rock and inflicted a danger ous, if not a fatal, wound. Siseuore had not been arrested at last accounts. A Map of the Seat of War. We cell attention to the card of T. A. Burke, Esq., of Savannah, in this day's paper.

The steamer opened fire first, ex changing shots twenty minutes. Ths steamer withdrew and the privateer was uninjured.— This city has gone for Watts (for Governor) by a largo majority. It is impossible to got defin ite returns before morning. [Conmaaloatsd.] Wo understand that the Hon. Wm. H. Stiles, who recently wont to Virginia as a private in the Etowah Guards, has bean authorised by President Davis to raise a regiment in Geor- gia. Captains wishing to attach their companies to such an organisation had batter address him without delay, at Cartersville,Georgiv—which wa believe is his postoffice at present.
