Georgia, although a so-called State of tho Union,
is still practically in the hands of her enemies,
and this fact ahoald inspire her public men with
oeation even in the matter of redressing her own

for violence, by any thing which can be plausi

take it for granted that the new Legislature will

The Tennessee Cab Compost. —This mythical

for ’ ' * *
• big
the express purpose of improperly making
ig pile out of tbe State Road. As before re
marked, it is a bogus concern, no such company
having any locality or actual existence, so far
aa any one can learn. A contract was, it seems,
entered into by the Western and Atisntio Rail
road, with this bogus company, to furnish a
large amount of cars for the Road. This con
tract was signed, on part of the Company by E.
N. Kimball as its "manager.” In fulfillment
of a purchase of ears from this “Company,”
Foster Blodgett as Superintendent of tbe West
ern and Atlantic Railroad, gave bis note or
notes, payable in bank. These notes were in
dorsed by E. N. Kimball and II. L Kimball, and
thereupon were disoonnted by the bank—
When they were dne, they were paid by
Capt Blodgett on a paued bill of the Wmtern
and Atlantic railroad. The whole was deliber
ately done—tbe giving of the note or notes, and
the payment of the money. Blodgett was invi
ted before the oommittee to explain this, and
was unable to give any satisfactory answer. He
oonld not tell wbo composed the Company, nor
where or when the cars were made or delivered,
nor whether delivered to the road or not. He
said, of oonrac, be knew they were delivered,
bnt he oonld not refer to any ttidenee of that
fact—had no bills for the same—no reports or
eertifieates of subordinate officers that the cars
were on the road, or had ever been pnt on it—

Gen* jEinct If. Clanton Killed *>y Colonel
I>n vM 3L Nelson.
From tbe Knoxville Herald, 28tb.
One of the most deplorable affrays that ever
took place in Knoxville, happened hut evening.
Gen. James H. Clanton, one of Ibe best law
yers, and most popular men of Alabama, was
shot and instantly killed by CoL D. M. Nelson,
of Cleveland, Tenn.
Gen. Clanton was attending npon tbe United
States Conrt to guard the interest of Alabama
in tbe A. A O. Railroad ease, and bad never met
CoL Nelson, who was interested in a case now
pending in ibe Snpreme Court, until fire nun-
utca before the affray oecured.
After the fatal shot hid been fired, the body
of Gen. Clanton was taken into the beck office
of tbe Confectionery store under the Lamar
House, where every effort was made by compe
tent surgeons to restore life, bat in vein.
As soon at life was ascertained to be extinct,
the body was removed to the reading room ol
the T.nmar House, and Esq. J. F. Ally, acting
Coroner, snnunoned the following jury : W. U.
McBath, E. W. Adkins, A. O. E. Cnllen, J. N.
Hacker, S. IL Renahaw, Joo. Crowley, and J. A.
Brakebil).
After tbe jury were sworn, Tomlinson Fort,
Esq., being sworn, stated to the jury that about
ten or fifteen minutes before G o’clock, p. m.,
be was standing et tbe corner of Gey end Cum
berland streets, baring just come out of Eifler’*
Saloon.
He bad jnst met Col. D. M. Nelson and was
walking arm in arm with him, being an old
friend, when he saw Gen. Clanton with a dark
whiskered gentleman (CoL A. S. Prosser) on the
other side of tho street. They crossed over and
met them and be introduced Gen. Clanton
Nelson with the remark that Nelson had fongbt
“us,” (Fort was in the Confederate army and
Clanton also) bnt bad been very liberal and
honorable towards his late enemies. CoL Kel
son or Gen. Clanton proposed to go and take
drink. CoL Fort thinks CoL Nelson made the
proposition. As they walked along the talk
turned in some way on amusements, and CoL
Nelson remarked that be could show Clanton
something good if he was not afraid.
Gen. Clanton said, “Do you think Fm afraid ?’
CoL Netaon said, “I don’t know whether yon
ore or not”
The ume remarks were repeated several
times, Nelson apparently becoming excited, bnt
Gen. Clanton was cooL Fort put his hand on
Nelson’s shoulder, wbo was under the influence
of liquor, and said, “Keep cool, Dave. Yon
are in ibe wrong. There is no nse in figbting.”
At length as Nelson repeated. “I don’t know
whether you are afraid or not,” Gen. Clanton
said:
Well, if yon think I’m afraid just try me.
Name yonr friend, time, place and distance,
any time or any place."
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 Fort refused to do so, aa both were
friends and there was no canto for a quarrel.
White be was talking with Gen. Clanton, CoL
Nelson hsd gone into Eifler’a saloon, and as ho
wss urging Clanton to go off as Netaon was
drunk, Fort heard tbo door of the St. Nicholas
open. He looked and saw CoL Nelson with a
double-barrelled gun coming ont He thought
that Netaon fired (ho first shot, and as he fired,
Clanton levelled his pistol cocked it and fired.
Nelson at anee fired again, and after tbe shot
Gen. Clanton fell forward, doubling himself np
on his hands and face.
He didnotknow what became of Nelson after
the fatal shot was fired.
Colonel Fort stated that during all the con
versation Gem Clanton held bis bands on his
coat collar, while Nelson kept his hands in his
pocket.
Jndge C. F. Trigg being sworn, stated that he
hadjustlaiddowninhisroom.No. 10, in the La
mar House, and heard loud talk on Cumberland
street, and got up and looked out of tho window
and saw Clanton and Fort standing in the street.
Clanton said to Fort, be told mo to take my po
sition. Very soon Nelson came ont of Eifler’s
with a donblo-barrel gun in his hands, and rested
the gun against the right hand ride of a post,
and fired at Clanton, who bad no weapon in his
hands, at the time. Soon after Clanton drew
a pistol and fired. Nelson then fired ugain at
Clanton, wbo stood quartering to Nelson.
Doctors W. F. Green, of Greeneville, and J,
B. Tadtoek, of this city, tilled to the jury on
oath, after making an examination of the body,
that fifteen or eighteen shot or Bmall balls bad
entered tbe chost near the right shoulder, frac
turing tho shoulder joint, severing sevoral arto-
tries and veins which are essential to life. They
thought that a portion of the shot bad entered
tbe lungs. Two shot or rings were taken ont on
tbe back side of the shoulder by them.
Tbe jury consulted s few minutes and ad
journed to meet this morning at !• o’clock, when
they will render their verdict
It is but jastice to Mr. Eifierto state thst tho
weapon was not obtained from bis house, but
from some of the houses on Gay street, to
whose back doors access can be had from his
back door.
We learn tbat CoL Nelson, immediately aftor
the fatal shot, procured a home and fled across
the country. The last hoard from him', was at
II o’clock last night He was reported to bay.

Tbo father of CoL Nelson, Horn T. A. R.
Nelson, one of tho Judges of the Supreme Court
of this State, sent ont two of his other sons,
in company with tbe Sheriff, to bring him back
if they conld find him.
Wo have elsewhere stated who Gen. Clanton,
the deceased, was.
Nearly every one in East Tennessee knows
CoL Nelson, but for tbe information of those at
a distance, it is proper tbat we shonld state that
he is tho second son of Horn T. A. R. Nelson,
one of the Judges of the Snpreme Conrt of this
State, a jurist and statesman of national reputa
tion. He was a Captain in tbo East Tennessee
Regiment in the Federal army, during the late
war, and was on Gen. Gillem’s staff. Toward
the close of the war he was brevetted Lieuten
ant Colonel. He ia a young man of warm, gen
erous and impulsive nature, and has hosts of
friends wbo will deplore so untoward sn event
in bis career.
THE BEJTAIXS
The remains of Gen. Clanton, clad in a new
suit of grey coarimere, with a bouquet of ever
greens and flowers on the breast, from tho hand
of Mrs. J. A. Rhea, of Montgomery, after remain
ing in the Reading Room of the Lamar House,
where they were visited by numbers of our cit
izens. till ten and a half o’clock, were placed in
a mahogany enamelled casket Accompanied
by a number cf friends they were conveyed to
Ibe depot and leftfor Montgomery on the twelve
o'clock train in charge of CoL J. H. Gindret, of
Alabama.
Beets ct Montgomery.—Tho Montgomery
Advertiser says:
Some idea of tbe immense value of real es
tate in the bnsinesa portion of the city of Mont
gomery may be bad from the fact that one
building on Court Square, rents for $10,450 per
annum.' It measures about fifty feet front by
sixty feet deep, and therefore rents at about tho
rate of three dollars for every square foot of
surface of soil on which it stands.
The following “notioe” was stuck up in va
rious places in a certain district of Grayson
