A difficulty occurred on fre incom ing excursion train yesterday after noon this side of Union Point, which came very nearly terminating quite seriously to all |>arti< s concerned. The cause ot the difficulty was as fol lows, so lar as we have been enabled to learn: It seems that Wa-h Scott a colored excursionist purchased it watermelon for himself and wife, and while in the act of cutting it, was approached by a colored man in the car t.;ho de manded a pierce in order to satisfy au aching void within the region of l«ts- ketdom. Scott refused tc gratily bis appetite, whereupon liis unknown friend used some very insulting lan guage. Scott made an effort to strike him, but failed. During the melee Scott’s finger was very badly hit tun. At this stage of the proceedings Mr J A Hannon an eugineer of the Ga. K Rand his fireman Mr J M llisilop undertook to expell the combatants front the car. In tbe meantime con ductor Lombard was called in and learning the facts took possession at Scott aud quelled the difficulty. Upon the arrival of the train at Athens, it seems that tho l ad feeling was in some way revived, and Scott proceed ed to mako a lively effort to revenge h’.m-elf upon Messrs. Hannon and Hishop. From a slight difficulty the fracas increased m magnitude till it was verging upon a general first cla-s excursion tight of the most mixed character, knives, pistols, brick bats and various pieces ot iron were at once brought forth by a score or more of the mob, aud had it not been for the prompt action ot police llolcomb and Birch, who were upon the ground endear bring to quell the fight, we feel assured that we would now be called upon to publish a tew fnueral notes.
