While the friendsfcf the dead

bedside—; while the mean, as if in
sympathy with the nation's sorrow,
seemed in low, yet solemn tones to

quite a different character was be
ing enacted in the great city of
New York. In what is considered
a retired part of that city, in a pri
vate residence, between two and
three o'clock in the morning, with
out body guards,or guards of honor,
in the most quiet, unostentatious
manner, were assembled about a
half doaeo citizens, among whom
were Chester A. Art^n and Judges

P | Vice President Arthur advanced to

the destinies of this Republic.
Will lhe action of the new ad

the policy mapped out by the late

now an opportunity to make for
himself a name aad place in Amer

of the “Father of his country."

A BLOOl)Y~ ENCOUNTER,
Onk Man Killed, One Braineo,
One Disabled and One Bad
ly Stabiied,
A bloody tragedy occurred in
Paulding county, six miles south
west of Powder Springs,on Friday,
the 16th inst. An old fued, origi
nating from a law suit about a fence
has existed between Mr. James F.
Cook, and Mr. William Mitchell,
for a number of years, and their
bitter eneraity seemed irreconcila
ble. Mitchell lives in Douglas
county and Cook lives in Paulding
county, the county line rnns be
tween their houses.—On Friday
last Mitchell’s hogs, as was fre
quently the case, were found dep
redating in Cook's field. Cook
sent Mitchell word to drive them
out, Mitchell sent word hack to
drive them out himself. Cook got
his army musket and went to the
field *o drive out Mitchell's hogs
He was confronted by Mr. Mitchell
his son and a hired white man nam
ed Nottingham. Abusive words
were indulged in freely, and Cook
attempted to avade the trio with a
view to returning to his house. The
Mitchells had their knives drawn,
and Nottingham had hi» hand on
his pistol and started towards (look
as if to head him off. Cook warn
ed Nottingham not to approach
him, but he refused to halt. Cook
raised his gun, took aim. and filed,
the load of buckshot striking Not
tingham just below the heart, kill
ing him instantly. Old man Mitch
ell rushed on to Cook with his knife
and waa knocked down by Cook
with the mnsket, Cook then cov
ered Mitchell, when Mitchell’s son
ran np and stabbed Cook twics in
the back. By this time Cook's
step-son, Mr, Joe Mahaffey heard
the noise and appeared on the scene.
He picked up the empty musket,
knocked young Mitchell ont of the
way, disabling his arm. Mitchell
by this time had tamed Cook and
gqTon top. Mahaffey then hit
the eldest Mitchell on the head
with the musket, fracturing his
skull, from which brains oozed
Mahaff-y then carried Cook to his
house, and as he lifted him up the
steps, he discovered a knife s'ick
ing to the hilt in his back, which
he pulled out —Cook is in a criti
cal condition, and Mitchell, it is
said cannot recover. Nottingham
was buried next day, but his broth
er, Judge Nottingham, of Houston
county, came up on Sunday, and
had the body taken up and shipped
to Macon, where his widowed
mother resides. It is a sad affair
and is to be deeply regretted.—Ma

about the President for the past
few d .ys, and he feared he was
nearing his end. I then irnfoim-
ed him, watching his expression
carefully, that the President was
deal. He instantly sank down up
on his bed, and appeartd very
much agitated. After remaining
in this position for a moment, he
arose and paced the floor, mutter
ing something to himself as if pray
ing. He then inquired at what
time lie died, and after being in
formed, said that lie was glad til
President had at last been relieved
from his sufferings,as he would not
have committed the deed if he had
known he was to sufferj as he did
Guitenu did not tippear so nervous
and alarmed as I supposed he
would when the news was brokeu
fo him,and 1 do not think he knew
the President was dead until 1 so
informed him. At. least he said he
did dot. He does not manifest any
increased fear this morning, but he
has been in constant dread all along
that he would lie dealt with by a
mob, and earnestly prays we will
protect him.
