GEN.- JAMES-1L CLANTON KILLED BY
COLONEL DATED M. NELSON.
Prom the,Knox vide Herald, 28 ull.\
One of the most deplorable atfrays
that ever took .place in Knoxville hap
pened last evening.
Gen. James H; Clanton, one of the,
best, lawyers, and most popular men of
Alabama, was shot and instantly killed
by Colonel D. M. Nelson, of Cleve
land, Tenn.
Gen. Clanton was attending upon
the United States Court to guard the
interest of Alabama in the A. & C.
Railroad ease, and had never met Col.
Nelson, who was interested in a case
now pending in the Supreme Court,
(until.five minutes before the affray
.occurred.
After the fatal shot had been fireif,
the body of Gen. Clanton was taken
into the back office of tbe Confectione
ry store under the Lamar House,
where every effort was made by com
petent surgeons to restore life, but in
vain.
As sooii as life was ascertained to
be extinct, the body was removed to
the reading room, of theXaniar -House,
and'Esq. J. P. Ally, acting Coronor,
summoned the following jury: W. JR.
McBath, E. W. Adkins, A. O. E. Cul
len, J. N. Hacker, S. H. Ronshaw,
Jno. Crowley, and J. A. Brakebill.
’ After the jury were sworn, Tomlin
son Fort, Esq., being sworn, stated to
the jury'that about ten or fifteen min
utes before G o’clock, p. M., he was
standiug at the corfier of Gay and
Cumberland streets, having just come
out of Eiuc-r's saloon.
He had just mei 06lr Di M.' Nelson,
and was walking arm in arm with him,
being an old friend, when he saw Gen.
Clanton with a dark whiskered gen
tleman (Col. A. S; Prosser) on the
other side of the street. They crossed
over and met them and he introduced
Gen. Clanton to Nelson with the re
mark that : Nelson ; had fought > “us,”
(Fori; was in the Confederate- army
and.Clanton also) but had been very
liberal and Honorable towards his late
enemies. Col, Nelson or Gen. Clan
ton proposed to go and take a drink.
Col.- Fort thinks Col. Nel$ofi made the
proposition. As they walked along
the talk turned in some way on amuse
ments, and CoL Nelson remarked that
lie eonld show Clanton something good
if he was not afraid.
Gen. Clanton said, “Do you- think
T-m afraid?” -
Col. *' Nelson said, “I don’t know
whether yon are or not.”
The same remarks were repeated
several times, Nelson apparently be
coming excited, but Gen. Clanton was
eool. Fort put his 1 hand on‘- Nelson’s
shoulder, who was under the influence
•if liquor, and said, “Keep'cool, Dave.
You are in the wrong. There is no
use in fighting.” -
At length as-Nelson ■ repeated, “I
don’t know whether you are afraid or
not,” Gen. Clanton said:
Well, if you think I’m afraid just
try ine. Name your friend, time, place
and distance, any time or anyplace.”
Col. Nelson said this was as good a
time and place as any..
Gen. Clanton then said, Fort, step
off the ground for your-friend.” "
Col. Eort refused to do bo,, as both
were friends and there was no cause
for a quarrel. . .
While he was talking with Gen.
Clanton, CoL Nelson had gone into
Eifler’s saloon, and as he was urging
Clanton to go off as Nelson was drunk,
Ec-rt heard the door of the St. Nicho
las open. He looked and saw Col.
Nelson with a double-barrelled gun
coming out. He thought that Nelson
fired the first shot, and as he fired,
Clanton levelled his pistol cocked it
and fired. Nelson at once fired again,
and after the shot Gen. Clanton fell
forward, doubling himself up on his
hands and face.
He did not know what became of
Col. Nelson after the fatal shot was
fired..
CoL Fort stated that during .all. the
conversation- GOD. ■Clanton 'held his
hands on his coat eollar, while Nelson
kept his hands in his pocket.
Judge C. F. Trigg being sworn,
stated that he had just laid down in
his room, No. 10, in the Lamar House,
and heard loud talk /on "Clnmberttnd
street, and got’up *an‘d ^looked (Tut o!
the window and saw Clanton and Fort
standing in^fhe street. Clanton said
to Fort, he told me to take my posi
tion. Very soon Nelson came out of
Eitier’s with a double-barrelled gun' in
his hands, and rested the gun against
the right hand side of a post, and fired
at Clanton, who had no weapon in his
hands at the time. Soon after Clanton
drew a pistol and fired. Nelson flfen
fired again at ^Cl^ton^ wb4> stopd
quartering to Nelson.
Doctors W. F. Green, of Greenville,
and J. B. Tadlock, of this city,, stated
to the jury on oath, after making an
examination of the body, that fifteen

thatthe weapon was not dlltaified from
his house, but from somC T: of’'thA’hqns-
es on Gay street, to whose back doors
access can be had from his bitek door.
We learn that Col .Nelson immediate
ly after the fatal’ shot, procured a
horse atid fled hcrtils the' cotintiy.
The last heard from him, was at
11 o’clock last' night. He was repor
ted as having passed the toll gate near
Judge Temple’s house on-the Kingston
pike three miles ahead of Sheriff
Gossett.
The father of Col. Nelson Hon. T.
A. R. Nelson, one oi the Judges of the
Supreme' Court of this State, sent out
two of his other sons, in company
with the Sheriff, to bring him hack if
they could find him.
We have elseybere stated who "Gen.
Clanton, the deceased, was.
Nearly every one in East Temiessee
knows Col. Nelson, but for information
of those at a distance, it is proper that
we should state that he is the second
son of Hon. T. A. R. Nelson, one of
the Judges of the Supreme Court of
this State, a jurist and statesman of
national reputation. He was a Cap
tain in the East Tennessee Regiment
in the Federal army, during the late
war, and was on Gen. Gillem’s staff.
Towards the close of the war he was
breveted Lieutenant ColoneL He is a
young man of warm, generous and im
pulsive natnre, and has hosts of friend
who will deploreko untoward, an event
in his career.
THE SEMAKS.
The remains of Gen. Clanton, clad
in a new suit of grey cassimere, with a
boquet of evergreens and flowers on
the breast, from the hand of Mrs. J. A
Rhea, of Montgomery, after remain-
in the Reading Room of the La
mar House, where they were visited by
numbers of onr citizens, till ton and a
half o’clock, were placed in a mahogany
enamelled casket. Accompanied by a
number of friends tliey were conveyed
io the depot and left for Montgomery
on t-lie twelve o’clock train in charge of
J. H. Gindrar, of Alabama.
A Romance of Real Me.
From Newcastle, Kentucky, a news
paper correspondent writes this singu
lar bit of romance:
I write this letter in the house of an old.

an who became the" wife of Daniel
Boone, and concerning whose eyes
(the young hunter is said to have a
mistaken them for those of a deer) the
— Dttwlr rrwwvLe'—»vmwi — o—« LLL
This lady is herself also the widow of
one of Daniel Boone’s own nephews,
her second husband, who assisted in
bringing the great hunter back to
Kentucky. She was born in one of
the chief old. pioneer 'stations (hex-
grandfather’s) near Lexington, and,
although she' is in her eighty-first-
year, die is active in busying her
self Vitfi her flowers arid garden,
clear sighted and alert in spirit. Re
cently she heard that one of middle-
aged sons, absent over twenty' years
in California, and presumed dead lor
more than half that time, was yet
alive and heir joy was great. He', too,
had supposed .his. mother to he
deatL
The old lady has a romance connec
ted with her second man-age. It is as
follows: "When her mother was a youg
lady, Col. William Boone, the nephew
of Daniel mentioned above, was very,
much in love with her, and askedrher,
on one occasion, to marry him. She
was engaged to Morgan Bryan and
that they were engaged to be married
in a few days. CoL Boone went away
and married another young woman.
Afterward he, with liis wife, visited
the other young inarried couple when
their first: child (how in fifth score of
years) was but a very few days old, and.
seeing thebaby, he laughed,’and said to
her-.mother:—“Now, Milly, as yon
wouldn’t have,me yourself, you’ll give'
me the girl tor my second wife, won’t
you?” Whether any jesting promise
was maderTam not informed; but "tbe

Boone’s first wife having died some
years previously, she really became,:
in her own middle life, the wife of her
mother’s-eariyrlo.ver, whp had claimed
her in her cradle.' ’The'good old lady
is accustomed, in relating this to her
sons and nieces, To speak of it as “one 1
of the most remarkable things that
ever happened.” I think so too, and;
it is a true story.

A cdrresptradent of fite ’Savaihiafi

following incident:
On the steamer New England, fropj

polities: that is *to say, the speakers
(all pro and no con.) were telling what
a great people they were; how they
could" Whip all creation ‘and-part of
New York, &c., ad ilaiiseam. Espec
ially they deplored the hard fate of the
Provincials, in that they were ruled
by poor Victoria instead of Grant, and
how blessed it would be to annex
them. A Canadian sitting by, as I
was,.quietly observed’ he did not see
how they were to gain by' annexation,
and that he knew of no great things
Grant had done or was doing. A shell
bursting among them could have
caused no greater commotion than
these simple words. They rose “and
went for that heathen” bine-nose.—
They shook their fists in his face.—
They raved, they howled, they" swore
more terribly than “onr army in Flan
ders.” One old bald-head lost his hat
and spectacles in his frantic' rush.—
Another man said emphatically that
none who did not believe in Grant,
could see glory at any price, and he
consigned to the bitter pain of eternal
death, any and all who should refuse
to do homage to this Yankee Csesar.—
The Canadian during this storm ut
tered no word, and I verily believe had
he done so, they would have thrown
him over-board.
Stopping a Newspaper—One of
onr exchanges has the following alle
gory, which we commend to.the care
ful consideration of those gentlemen,
who, the moment they see anything
which displeases them in the columns
of their local journal, rush to the
printing office and cry out, “stop my
paper.” It is certainly a new song
upon the old subject:
‘A certain man hit his toe against a
pebble and fell headlong to the ground.
He was vexed, and under the influence
of anger and self-sufficiency he kicked
the earth right saucily. With imper
turbable gravity he looked to see the
earth itself dissolve and come to
naught. But the earth remaiued, and
only his poor foot was injured in tha
encounter. This is the way of many
a man. An article in a newspaper
touches him a weak spot, and forth
with he sends to stop his paper. With
great complacency he looks to see the
crash.’when he findshe onlv. hit.his
own toe against a world that does not
perceptibly feel the shock, aud injures
no one buf himself.”
That-Neoeo's Head’s Level.-—Al

The Atlas thus reports him. He “rose

The Chronicle and
Tnesday, in an article headed 1
the judiciary” argues that the Legis
lature must necessarily take into early
and serious consideration the present
condition of onr State Jadiciary, and
more especially the Circuit Courts. It
thinks that there are twice as many
efreuite as ale necessary -for tiie bnri-
nesa of the’cduntryx and that instead
of nineteen circuits there should be
only ten, and .that id secure the best
legal talent the' salaries should be fixed
at’§4,000 instead of ?2,500 as now. As
there are nineteen judges at §2,§00
each, making §47,500 aggregate, the
change would result in a saving to the
State of $7,500; .
A test of the new atmospheric brake
was made on the Western and Atlantic
Road the other day. The Constitution,
of Wednesday, says:
At the four mile post a special test
was made," with perfect success. The
train was running down'grade at a
speed of thirty-five miles par hour,
and stopped, after the brakes were ap
plied, in 26G feet. The test demon
strated its great utility andsafety. We
believe tlmtithe Western: and Atlantic
Road ra the first in the Southern States
that- has adopted it, and the train
yesterday, the first in the South that
has run with t-lie brake. President
Brown has ordered them placed at
once upon all the -passenger cars and
engines on the State Road.”
