THE SEMI-WEEKLY EXPRESS, J - W. HARRIS, I J: }“•—* »***-«. CARTERBVILLE, OA. t OCT. 3,~ 1871 General James H. Clanton, of Alabama, the acknowledged leader of her Democracy, who was with us but a few days ago at this place, prosecn tUig the interests of his State in the case of the State of Alai mma, vs. the Alabama & Chattanooga Railroad Cos., the Stantons and others, in the pride of his manly intellect and vigorous health, is now no more. The sad in telligence of his assassination has al ready been borne over the lines, and the whole South mourns his loss. His brilliant career, promising so much of fatna for himself, and good for his peo ple, is thus sadly ended, cut off by what seems to be a premeditated cold blooded murder. “He is jrone on the mountain, He is lost to the forest, Like a summer dried fountain, When our need was the sorest.” To the exclusion of other matter we publish the editorial of the Columbus Ftfqnirer, and tho Montgomery Adver tiser in relation to this great public calamity. Assassination of General James 11. Clunton. No recent event has more painfully shocked this community than the news of the death of Gen. James H. Clanton, of Alabama, at the hands of a Tennes see Radical ruffian. Gen. Clanton was personally well known to many of •>ur citizens, and all were cognizant of his gallantry in war, his cool bravery in all times of trial or danger, his un selfish patriotism in public and his spotless honor in private life, his ever reliable devotion to his friends and to the high principles that guided him, and the manly straight forwardness that won for him tho confidence and respect of all who knew him. Not in Al abama alone, but by all who knew that Alabama had such a son, will hii death be keenly regretted and his base assas sination execrated. Gen. Clanton was tho eon of the late Colonel Nathaniel H. Clanton, of Ma con county, Ala., formerly of Georgia. Ho removed from Macon county to Montgomery about the year 1850. where he studied law in the office of the late Chancellor N. W. Cocke. He had hardly attained his majority before he lbecame a favorite of the people of Montgomery, and he was very early in life elected to represent them in tbe Legislature. He married a daughter of the late H in. Jas. Abercrombie, then of Russel county, Ala. His gal lant services iu the late war doubly en deared him to the people of Alabama and made him warm Mends through out the South; and his manly, bold and jndickm course Biuce the war made him probably the most popular man iu his own State, and established for him u reputation throughout the South as one of the well-tried and rising men whom we would all delight to honor whatever the opportunity should be presented. Al as that sue a fond hopes should-be so cruelly Hsappointed, and thut a career so honorable iu the past aud. so promising in the future should be ho suddenly ended by the assassiu’s shot!. It was our good fortune to know Gen. Clanton well in his boyhood—to bo intimately associated with him in political contests, and to know many instances of his unswerving devotion to his country and friends. The fatul shot that reached his heart laid low upon the streets of Knoxville one of the noblest men that ever put a foot upon the soil of Tennessee. * •The Montgomery Advertiser —from which we derive the particulars of Gen. Clauton’s death—comes to us clad in mourning for the sad event.— Fueling that.not Alabama only, but Georgia and other States have sus tained a great loss, and personally sympathising will those who deplore thu death or a cherished and respected friend, we also drape these columns in mourning for ore whose truth, hunor, patriotism and courage would justify the distinguished m mumental inscrip tion : ; “This was a Man.” [Special from the Montgomery Advertiser*] ASSASSINATION OF UEN. R.J. CL ANTON. IIIn A9Mi**in has a Sltot Gnn and Horse Prepared and In Walt- Ins’—-He Tenders an limilt, Clanton Resents it and Is Slain. Knoxville, Sept. 27. About 6 o’clock this evening Gene ra] Clanton, in company with a Knox ville friend, met D. M. Nelson, of Cleveland, and Tomlinson Fort, of Chattanooga, Clanton and Nelson, who had never met before, were intro duced by Fort. Nelson had been drinking, and after two or three min utes conversation lie made a remark questioning Clanton’s courage. Clun tott «Aid: “Do I look as if I was afraid ?” Nelson saidi “I do not know whether you do or not.” More words passed, when the other gentlemen, apprehending a difficulty, attempted to-pacify them. Finally Clanton feaid “name your friend, time and place, aud, try me.” Nelson said: “Now will do as well as any other time; step out hit*? the street.” In the meanwhile about a dozen men had gathered.— Clanfjon stepped out into the street, and Nelson ran into a store, got a double-barreled shot gnu and caine out under un awning, where he thought Cbpiton could not see him. Immedi ately the crowd scattered. Nelson thou rested his gnn on the side of a and >or frame and tired, missing Clanton. Chiton drew a pistol and fired at ram don. Nelson then fired a second shot, which struck Clanton in front 1 and in flic upner part of his arm* breaking it. Four buckshot entered | Clanton’s right breast, whereupon he j sank down and died instantly. Nel | son ran off through the store, got his J horse and rode out of town. Clanton’s j body was taken to the Lamar House, where an inquest was held, which developed the above facts. The jury adjourned until morning. Clanton’s body will be sent off to-night. THE LATEST—TESTIMONY BEFORE THE COR ONERS JURY. Knoxville, Sept. 27.—The following | appears in the Press & Herald of to morrow’: One of the most deplorable affrays that ever took place in Knox ville happened lust evening. Gen, J. H. Clanton, one of the best lawyers I and most popular men of Alabama, as well as one of the bravest and noblest j men that ever lived, was shot and iu- i stantly killed by Col. D. M. Nelson, of Cleveland, Tennessee. Gen’l. Clanton was here in attendance upon the U. S. i Cornt to guard the interest of Ala-, bama in the Alabama Sc Chattanooga Railroad case, and had never met Col. Nelson, wdio was interested iu a case now pending iu the Supreme Court, until five minutes before the affray oc curred. After the fatal shot had been fired the body of Gen. Gun ton was ta ken into the buck office of the confec tionery store under the Lamar House, where every effort was made by com peteni surgeons to restore life, but in vain. As soon as life was ascertained to be extinct the body was removed to the reading room of the Lamar House, and J. P. Ally, acting Coroner, sum- I moried the following jury: W. R. Mc- Hatli, E W. Adkins, A. C. E. Callius, ■J. N. Hacker, J. H. Renshaw, Jehu Crowly and J. A. Brakehill. After the jury were sworn, Tomlinson Fort, E<q., being sworn, stated to the jury that | ten or fifteen minutes before G o’clock, p. in., he was standing on the corner of Gay and Cumberland streets, hav ing ju t come out of Edifler’s saloon. He had just met Col. D. M, Nelson, and was walking arm iu arm with him, being an old friend, when he saw Gen. Clanton with a dark whiskered gentle man, 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 tlie remark that Nelson fought “us.” Fort was iu the Confed' rate army, ami Clanton al so, but had been very liberal and hon orable towards his late enemies. Nel son or Clanton propos and to go and take a drink. Col. Fort thinks that Col. N* Lon made the proposition. As they walked along, tho talked turned in some way on amusements, and Col N. Ison remarked that he could show Clant- *n something good if he was not afraid. Gen. Cl niton said: “Do you think I’m afraid?’’ Notion said: “1 don’t know whether you are or not.” The same lvm rks were repeated sev eral times Col. Nelson apparently be coming very much excited, while Gen. Clanton was cool. Col. Fort put his hand on Nelson’s shoulder, who was under the influence of liquor, and said “keep "cool, Dave; you are in the wrong; there is no use in fighting.”— At length as Nelson repe -ted “I don’t know whether you are afraid or not,” Gen Clanton said “well if you think !’m afraid just try me; name your friend, time, place and distance.”— \ Nelson said “this is as good a time ! and place ;.s any.” Gen. Clanton then ; said “Port, step off (he ground for your friend.” Col. Fort refused to do so, as both were friends, and there was no cause for n quarrel. While lie 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, F ?t heard the door of the St. Nicholas open. He looked and saw Nelson with a double barreled gun coming out. He thought | iliat Nelson fired the first shot, and as he fired, Clanton leveled his pistol, cocked it and fired. Nelson at once fired again, and after the shot Clanton fell forward, doubling himself up on his hands and face. He did not know wh it became of Nelsou after the fatal shot was fired. Col. Fort stated that during all the conversation Gen. Clan ton held his hands on his coat collar, while JSlclson kept his hands in his \>ock ets ! Judge C. F. Trigg being sworn, stated that he had just laid down in his room, No. 10 iu the Lamar House, but hearing loud talk ou Cumberland street, got up and looked out of the window. He saw Clanton and Fort standing in the street, and heard Clan ton say 10 Fort, “he told me to take my position.” Very soon Nelson came out of Eifler’s with a double barrel gun in Lis hands, and rested the gun against the right-hand side of a post, and fired at Clanton, who had no wea pon in hts hands at the. time ! Soon, af ter, Clanton drew a pistol and fired. Nelsou then fired again at Clanton, who stood quartering to Nelson. Drs. W. F. Green, from Greenville, and J. R. Tadiook, of this oily, stated to the jury ou oath, after making an exami atiou of the body, that fifteen or eighteen shot or small balls had en tered the chest near the right shoul der, fracturing the shoulder joint and severing several arteries and veins, which were essential to life. Tiny thought that a portion of tho shots had entered the lungs. Two shots or slugs were taken out on the back side of the shoulder by them. The jury consulted a few minutes and adjourned to meet this morning at 9 o’clock, when they will render their verdict. It is but justice to Mr. Eifler to state that the weapon was not obtain ed in his house, but from some of the houses ou uay street, to whose back doors access can be had from his back door. We learn that Col. Nelson immediately after the fatal shot pro cured a horse and fled across the country. The last heard of him was at 11 o’clock last night, when he was reported to have passed the toll-gate on the Kingston pike three miles ahead of Sheriff Gossett, The father of Col. Nelson, Hon. ‘T. A. R. Nelson, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of this State, sent out two of his other sons in company with the Sheriff to bring him back if they c. nld | find him. Nearly every ou9 iu E.s; Tenn ssee knows C >l. N Ison, but for the information of th >v at a distance it is proper that we should state th.- he is the second sou of Hon. T. A. R Nelsou, one of the Judges of the Su prome Court of this State, a jurist ami statesman or national reputation. He , WiiS a captain iu an East Tuunesseee regiment in the Federal army during the late war, aud was on General Gii lem’s stuff’. Towards the close of th war he was breveted Lieut. Colonel He is a young man of w r inn, generous aud impulsive nature, and has a host of frieuds, who will deplore so unto ward an event in his career. The remains of Gen. Clanton, clad in anew suit ctf gray cassimere, with a bouquet of evergieens aud fl overs on the breast, from the hands of Mrs. J A. Rhea, of Montgomery, after remain ing in the Reading Room of the La mar House, where tiny were visited by hundreds of our citizens till 10 o’clock, were placed in a mahogany enameled casket, and accompanied by u number of friends, were conveyed to the depot and left for Montgomery on the 12 o’clock train iu ch .rge of Col. J. H. Gindrat, of Alabama.” The Press Sc Herald concludes its editorial as follows: “Gen. Clanton was a universal fa vorite in Alabama, aud the death of no man in that State could be more deeply lamented. His personal friends wlio were here with him on the occa sion of his professional visit to our city, seem stricken with an overwhel ming sorrow. Many tears fill the eyes of these brave men as they recount his virtues and bewail his untimely death. The hearts of straugers are saddened in sympathy, and our whole community, hardly recovered from the shock, lament the melancholy tragedy. We have neither time nor space nor the heart to indulge in comment this morning upon so appalling aud heart rending an occurrence, which has brought unlocked for mourning into many households and awakened the tenderest sympathies of our com munity, not alone for the bereaved friends of the slaiu, but also for the near kindred of the slayer, whose hearts are bowed beneath the stroke of so great a calamity.” R.

It seems also that Foster has been paying Stute Road money to a m m connected with the same corrupt sheet ! : iu Washington, to which Bullock paid very Targe suifi.j of money—some $14,- 000 or other large ainouut—for print | ing editor mi articles of Bullock’s pre | paratioo, when he wis trying to in duce Congress to Htill further press the iron heel of bayonet despotism iu to the vit ds of our people, iu order to j pro.ong aud augment his own power, to ba ix mined tor his own hehisu pur ; jMsee. 4 o-ter, i& .-see;us, this beeiF us i lag Lhe peoples’ substance to grease ' tae sum* m alUiue upon winch to roll I into a seat in tho Senate.
