Bp Kmate opportunely fair and beautiful ™ day naver dawned than was ushered in by l Morning's sun, and every thing passed Utly until about 12 o’clock m., when J. II.

Another negro, Hen Jor- puck at him with a stick. Ho fell ground, aud Mr. Uobiuson Creech, Bppeucd to be near by, rushed in fescue, and attacked Nick with his thereupon Nick took it away and r Creech also with his knife. The - *(|rom the stick made no impression upon Nick, and, it is said, he made it ko lively for Judge Creech that he forgot to limp. In tho moan while a general row seemed imminent, as many of the negroes rushed np with kuives and sticks, cursing and dsolilffing that they were willing to com- Me tbo tight right then. There were lew white men in tho immediate vi- Py, and they seemed to have no more uidablo weapons thun common pocket but they were no ways loath to go nd try what virtue there was in those, s not long, however, before sevoral i men came running with double* Med shot guns iu their hands, and a al slaughter appeared imminent, agrees showed a disposition to pro- Nick Thompson aud his allies, and kites were fully determined to have him. While the white people were en tirely unprepared nt first, it did not take long to put them on a war footing; and if the ball had opened the destruction of negroes would have been fearful. We arj glad to be able to state, however, that more prudent counsels prevailed, tho ne gro was quietly carried to jail, aud all disorder suppressed by the legal authori ties. When wo con.-idor the wanton attack upon Cuptain Hunter, his very dangerous wound, (it was supposed he could not live more than oue hour), his popularity, and the grout excitement they were under when it was reported that one who had been so proiuiuont iu tho politics of our eounty and was personally so dear to cur citizens was murdered, we thiuk it must bo admitted that tho wliito pooplo showed great forbearance under those circum- stanoe*. “%bout live o'clock p. m. an inceudi- i occur rod on the suburbs of tho [ and for a while great excitement It was evidently the intent of kgroes to attract the attention of tho i pooplo of the town towards the ior the purpose of making a break on p fail»aud release Niok Thompson tho hld-be assassin of Captain Hun tor.
