Omission.— -Oar correspondent last last week on the “Pio-Nie,” failed to men' tion the name of Mr Oharlks Hayles, who was one of ths meet liberal and ac tive in contributing to the good things and pleasures of the ocoasion. The delay of several shipments of freight occasions us some little inconve nience in the job department of our office. It will not causo any delay in the regular issne of the paper, however, which will appear regularly aud with a supplement too to bring it up to date, when we are crowded.

Mr. John S troth er, in a buggy, accompanied by Mr. P. Fair, Jr., had stopped in front of Moore & Co’s. Store on Wayne Street. Col. Lewis H. : Kcnan, a member of the bar. ’stepped Store with a double barreled shot gun in his tends. Raising the weapon,he iired.Mr. Stevens Knocked the gun upward, and the load lodged in Mr. Staley's house on the opposite side of the. SUreete The horse sprang forward, throwing both Mr. Strother and Fair out backwards. Col. Kenan again fired,hut.«S/they were fall* load -passed over them taking * a the leg of a negro on the side walk. A crowd immediately assembled, and any further demonstration of hos tilities was prevented. Mr. Strother was considerably bruised by the fall, and has been confined to Lis bed ever since. Not the slightest clew to the mo tives which prompted Col. Kenan to this act, is given. Even Mr. Strother is in doubt as to tho cause. Col. Kenan was arrested; but gave bond in the sum of $2,500, for his appearance at Court. . The friends of tetli parties are fear ful that another meeting between these gentlemen will result fatally to one, if not both, as they are men of the most noted personal courage and fearlessness. Their mutual friends will do their ut most to heal the breach, lest it termin ate more seriously than before. Col. Sneed, the reported bigamist, is now in Millcdgeville, having been brought over from Macbu On Tuesday ■pfeliminary trial took place ; and in de fault of two thousand dollars bail, ho was remanded to prison.

We recom mend the building of anew Bridge across Rocky Comfort, between the Vining Bridge and Gibson, known as Williams Bridge. Glass cock coanty to bear its portion of the expense, the bridge being in the line between the afore said counties. Also, we recommend the re building of the Bridge across Williamson By/amp, known as Parker’s crossing, and the of the road from said bridge to Louisville. The Roads of the county, with a very few exceptions are in a very bad condition, and We recommend them to the immediate atten tion of the fifoper authorities. Wo recommend that owing t o the inadeqna oy of the Pauper fund, it bo raised to eighteen per cent. We are also of opinion that the emoluments arising from the fees connected with the Ordinary’s ofilce are anfficieut com pensation for the labors attending it, without ahy recommendation for extra pay. In concluding our duties as Grand Jurors we would ekpress our hearty concurrence with his IfottM- Judge Twiggs in reference to secret organizations, committing midnight depredations, and can easily foresee the horn hfc results it' may lead to. Therefore we pledge ourselves as..Grand Jurors and good citizens of Jefferson county to do all we can t 6 suppress and thereby avert the evils it may terminate in: We also beg all law abiding citizens to unite their combined in fluence against these depredations. Also, mat it is the unanimous opinion of this body that the present District Courts con- Ctituted by the last Legislature are unlawful surpations and unattended by any results of public utility. Therefore we humbly petition oar next Legislature to repeal the law. We a(qo ask that body to investigate the policy of dividing the present Judicial Circuits, and making them smaller, thereby increasing the expenses of the State, ss.has been already done in some instances. Asa body we fender onr sincere thanks to his Honor, Judge Twiggs, for his usual courts “lisp to D. Alexander, Attorney General pro temfor his kihdly assistance and advice.
