Shooting nt Jacksonville. The News published a long account of the shooting of Mr. Alex DeLyon iu Jacksonville, by Johu Nolan, formerly of this city, but uow a policeman iu the first named city. Nolan will be remem bered as the man who killed Grogan some time ago, and was twice senfenctd to the penitentiary, but through some technicalities of the law was released. Mr. DeLyou is a gentlemanly young man, and knowu as a quiet and inoffen sive citizen, and is quite popular in Florida. Nolan narrowly esciped lynch ing by the mob. The case was examin ed before Justice Sampson in Jackson, ville, the result of which we have not yet seen. Nashville Conventloa. The convention met at the City Hall in Noahvilleon Wednesday atl2o’olock. Judge Gibbs of Arkansas was choaen President, Judge J. M Simms and W. A. Pledger Esq., of Georgia were elected Vice President and Secretary respectively. The meeting is bar" montous. Proposed Establishment of a Quarterly Re view. Rev. B. T. Tanner, D. D., E liter ol the Christian Recorder calls upon the en suing General Coufereuce. of the A. M E Church to legislate lor the establish ment ol a Qiiartely It-view, to be under the auspices of the said church. We think the suggestion wise uud timely. The A. M. E. Church ranks among the most prominent religious organizations of the laud and has almost, if no‘. a couple of scores of B. D’s, B. A s, A. M’s, D. D’s, and LL. D’s,iu her minis terial ranks. These dss'inguished pre lates, with a host of other Reverends and Protessors, who stand high in tho lite rary world, should, at this enlightened period, be the creators of thought, anil » arntimem two valuable to be lost. While “The Christian Recorder," the chief organ of that church, is a valuable depository of the able contributions which it weekly sends out to the world, it by no means has that preservative character that a Quarterly would whioh could bebonud in hook form. Bbould t in- i„ 1 c : aaaSaMbaban “Q'tarJely Review," we would advise th.it its columns be free to the colored literati olall orthordox religions deuom inntions. This would elicit the best colored pens in the religious world, aud the said Quarterly Review would become the medium of handing down to posteri ty, (he great thoughts, and argumenta tions ot the day, which too Irequeully, when published in news papers, are thrown into the scrap basket, or used to kindle the fire, and torever lost. Such a Review would also make an era iu the progress of the A. M. E Church, and would be wor.h the assem bling of the General Coufereuce, it nothing more was said or doue. We do not claim to be able to dictate to so grave an assemblage, as will com pose the said General Coutereuce, but we endorse the suggestion thrown out by oue ot the prominent divines, who will, doubtless be a member ot that as semblage. Kmma Rhodes forced to mako a false state ment. We yesterday visited the jail, and through the courtesy of Mr. Russell the jailer were permitted to converse with some of the priso ners. We conversed with Emma Rhodes eon- fined as a witness for the State, against Prince Roberson et. ah, charged with the murder of Mrs. Cochran in Eflinghalh county lately. Emma is about 15 years old. and she has made a statement under oath that about the first of March, under threats of whipping and hanging, she was forced in order to save her life, to make a Statemen that she saw Amos Bines giye her uncle Roberson a pistol on the day Mrs. Cochran was killed, The party who was guilty of this outrageous proceeding wero all white men living in Effingham. The girl tolls a plain story and evidently knows nothing whatever of the recent murder of Mrs. Caoh- ran. No niAn’s life is safe when such despe rate measures aro resorted to obtain witnesses. Space will not permit ns to speak of this matter as its importaace demands, hut wo will refer to it again. Briefs. A Grand Centennial Supper, debate, and general exercises in spelling will fake place at St James Tabernacle on Monday 10th hist. A grand time is anticipated. The Bralnun Club will give a Grand Concert at the Theatre on Monday the* 17th instant. The club is composed of the best vocalists in our city. The Forest City Light Infantry was compelled to pospone the drill and target shooting last Monday, on ac count of the Inclement weather, The anniversary was celebrated in the hall by the company. Due announcement will be made of the drill etc., which will no doubt be at an eaaly day. The fair for the benefit of Asbury Church has Iieen in successful operation during he week. The room is taste fully decorated and reflects credit on the ladies in charge. Give them a call to-night as it is your last opportunity to do so. Death of an Estimable lair. We are pained to chronicle the death on illness, of Mrs. Charlotte Middleton, wife of our esteemed fellow citiaen Mr. Charles E- Middleton. The deceased was betcived by all who knew her on account of herlkindness and goodness of heart. The bereaved husband and family have our siucere condolence in this their sad affliction.
