Out of Fodder.
A “Farmer man from Joues,” we won’t
call his name but we ought to, came in
town yesterday morning with a w'agou
load of cotton. After disposing of the
staple he left his wagon and horses out in
the middle of Third Street without any
corn or fodder. By twelve o’clock, the
horses had eaten Bill’s bundles of bed
clothes and one plank from the body of
the wagon. At six o'clock, last evening,
not a vestige of the wagon body remained,
und the horses lmd commenced on the
wagon tongue. They ate the harness off
of each other and wished for more. The
trace chains arc missing und is is sup
posed they were eaten too.
This yarn may be considered rather
extensive, yesterday being. All Fool’s Day,
but it is the solid truth, aud cun be
vouched for by any merchant on Third
Street between Cherry and Poplar.
A wag on the west side of the street says
those two horses ate enough plank to set

THE FI It VI BLOOD.
NOT ki.lswobth, BUT ANOTIIKB UR ho—
A SCIIAI’ OF HIBTOKY.
From the Richmond (V.,) Dispatch.]
It was repeated in the telegraphic col
umns of the Uispatch, which has so often
been said before, that Ellsworth's was the
first blood shed iu the late civil war on
rebellion. This statement lias passed for
true so long that it will he diflicult to cor
roet it so as to prevent its repetition. But
we will do so. Ellsworth was killed at
Alexandria on the 24th of May, 1861, the
day after the vote was taken upon tho rat
ification of the ordinance of secession.—
Two days before, to-wit, on tho nigh
of the 22d day of May, 1861, a Union
mau was killed at Fettermau, Tay
lor County, West Virginia (then Virt
giuia.) by a Confederate, or rather a Vir
ginia soldier belonging to the volunteer
compauy which had beeu marched thither
the previous week from Falmouth, iu
Marion County. This company was a
part of the Thirty-first. Virginia Regimeut
of Infantry throughout tho war. Tho mau
who was killed was a violent Union man,
and resident iu Grafton, a town three miles
from Fettcrman, both towns being on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railioad. He went
armed to Fetterman, marched up to the
sentinel who killed him, aud when chal
lenged, replied by x a shot which went
through the Yirginla soldier’s ear. Where
upon the soldier shot him deud upon the
spot. The writer of this article saw the
" soldier at Phlllippi a few day's afterward,
aud was one of the number of per
sons who was curious to see, and
did see, the hole In his ear. There
are hundreds of persons In Taylor
County who can substantiate these
statements, and it would not be amiss for
someone to undertake tho task. It is
well to bo right even in small matters. It
may be replied that Ellsworth was the first
soldier shot. But this does not give his
case any advantage over the other, seeing
that he was shot by a private individual.
According to tho Northern history of the
war, Ellsworth was murdered. He cer
tainly was not killed according to the
rules of war; whereas there is no doubt
the other man was killed by a soldier,
who simply performed his duty us sucli in
doing so. So that, look at the matter as
we will, it must be conceded that the
Union man who fell at Fettermun —we
have forgotten both his name and that of
the soldier who killed him—was the first
man who wus killed in Virginia by a sol
dier, and consequently his was “the first
blood of tbo war” in the sense in which
that averment is usually made as to Ells
worth.
Nick Boswell, negro, convicted of mur
der at the late term of the Putnam Supe
rior Court has been sentenced to be hanged
in Eatonton on the 23d of next mouth.
Judge Holt.—We miss the presence of
this honored and honorable citizen upon
our streets. Feeble with ago and its at
tendant infirmities, he does not to-day take
his accustomed walk among us. But it is
the prayer of this whole community that
the “gnarled, oak olden,” will long |be
spared by the lightnings and the gales of
tho tomb builder—Time. And that the
tender ilowers growing underneath its
shadow, tho tendrils of tho viud which
lean lovingly upon the stalwart parent
for support in lifo, may yet be spared us
for years. And that the black camel
which kneels at each door is miles and
miles away. For he is a gentlemen—
“ Whose distant footfalls
Will echo through the corridors of time!”
A milliner at Defiance, Ohio, walked
