Ac'ialttal of Air, Ilute Kitchens for Killing a Negro Seven Years Ago. By the acquittal of Air. Ditto Kitchens last Saturday in tbo Butts County Superior Court, of tho killing of a negro named Joe Mays, at Worthvilte daring tho Christmas holidays or 1S7'J, the memory of quite on exciting event is recalled. As some of our renders are unacquainted with the facts in the case, ft brief aummary of tho matter is given: One day during the period mentioned above, trie colored population of Worthvilte were celebrating the holidays. A number of the bucks tilled up on bad branch bisky, and from singing, dancing and laughing, they liy and by drifted toward that epoch in drunkenness known as drunk and disorderly. As the dry woro on, tho blacks hail several quarrels with the whites, and being in flammed with liquor soon be came L 1 isy und dangerous. They made many ugly threats'of massacreing ail tho whites—men, women and childteu. Air. John AlcCallum, then a resident of Wortlivillc, was sent for, as a gentleman haring some intluence witli the negroes, in tho hope that he could pacify them and get them to go homo or becomo less turbulent. He repaired to a large crowdof colored men who were exceedingly demonstrative and mouthing dire threats. Ho spoke to ihcui kiudiy telling them that they ought not to act so unruly, and advised them to disperse and go home, or at least bo more quiet. They listened to him attentively, and when he had concluded speaking, Wylie Aluys, a big, strapping darkey, threw up his arms and shouted: “I'd listen to you ns quick a9 any white man, Mr. McCallum, but we will listen to no d—n white men.” Mr. Ale- Cullum seeing that he was only wasting time talking to the mob of drnnken blacks, withdrew. Then Air. Dnte Kitchens attempted to say something soothing, os ho also was quite popular with the negroes. While he was apeuking Joe Alays rushed upon him, nud grasping him by the collar Legnn forcibly pushing Alr. Kitchcns backward. For fully a hundred yards was tho gontlemnn thus roughly jostled onward. At lost breaking loose, Air. Kitchlns entered his store anu secured ft double-barreled shotgun. It had two loads in it, bat had failed to explode, even after caps luul keen tried upon the nippies of tho weapon. Finally the gtm was fired off, and Mr. Kitchens loaded it with buckshot. By this time tho negroes were infuriated and hunting for him. Hu proceeded to the woods not far from Ilia store and concealed hiiuself behind a log. It was now night, but tho moon was up and objects wire plainly visible. In a very short time Kitchens discovered Joe Mays coming down a slight hill in his di rection, and carrying a gun slang across his shoulder. When a short distance from Kitchens the negro paused, and raising his ( ;im took aim. It was then that Duto ent oosc with his shotgun. His aim was trne, and Joe Aluys fell dead to tho ground, pierced with several buckBhot. In view of the fact that Joe Alays hail sev- oral influential white friends, Air. Kitchens thought it best to leave tho country, qml accordingly did so. Since 187!) ho has been in this Stato and Alabama. But at last bo grew tired of being from friends and home, and last week walked into the conrt bouse and gave himself np. Time, the healer of feelings of revenge, ns well as of blasted hopes and broken pledges, hud blunted the feeling against Air. Kitchens— if there had ever been any and his acquittal was prompt und most pleasing to tho people *“ a at conrt.

The hunters of Florida who supply with feathers the millinery firms of the North report that tho birds which usually pass the winter in that peninsular have crossed the golf for a warmer climate, owing to the unusually cold weather.

For several days it was stated that his mind seemed unbalanced and ft close watch was kept on him, but he managed to elude his guards Monday. Tho scorchers found that lie bad endeavored to jump into an aban doned well but found tho water too shallow to drown biro. Ho then at tempted to kill himself by beating his brains ont. The hair nnd blood were found on the side of a bonso where ho made this terrible attempt. Failing in this, ho pro cured n jmir of buggy reins, made a tight nooHii about his neck, tied the reins to a high limb nnd jumped from thn treo. His neck was broken by tho fall, nnd when he was discovered- life wus extinct. He was 45 years of age and leaves a family. cno of the officials looked up quietly and said: “Take a seat, air, and we’ll attend to you in a moment." I made no move, but looked around the room in a stupid sort of way. I was looking out of the window oil to a roof when the same official said: “You may come forward and take this chair." I stood like a stone, and he rose up, came over to me, and led me to a chair at the ta ble. Wbeu I was seated one of the others remarked: “Write your name, age and lost place of residence on a slip of papei." That was paste, pencil and paper.

I saw his lips move, but ho got no sign from me. Tho examination continued in this manner for a full hour, the men using every artifice to trap me, but they failed to Bcoro a single point. I knew they would reserve the sharpest trick for tho lost and was therefore nerved up for it. At longtli tho mnrshnl pushed back in his chair, pointed his finger at my breast anil angrily exclaimed: “Where did tint Confederate button come from?" It was another failure. Then he turned to his companions and said: "Gentlemen, it's no use. Tho man is certainly deaf and dumb, and a d—d fool besiilea.” “Wo bavo wasted our time,” replied n second. “Ho is not only that he claims to be, bat may be of grout service to us. I'd have the officer take him over to tho Secre tary of War." “I guess I will," said the officer, and ha rang a bell and I heard the door opon. Then lie turned to ine, careless os you please, and said: “Go with the officer.” It was their last shot. I never moved a muscle until tho officer approached aud placed his hand on me. I was taken back to the guard-house, kept a prisoner for an other week, nnd then the disgusted marshal turned me loose in the streets. THE AVIT OF WOA1EN. A REBEL SPY’S SCHEME.

Flaying Deaf amt Dumb to Trick Ills Guards. Kx-Rchct in Detroit Free Press. When Gen. Early made his great raid on Washington, I was scouting between his advance and tho city, aud was captured within the city limits twenty-fonr hours fit fore liis battle-tings appeared in sight. I was dressed iu citizen's clothes, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and claimed to have bceh driven out of Richmond becauso I had written threatening letters to Jefferson Davis. I hail been inside the fortifications for half a dny, and wus slowly working ont, when a couple of young men, both of whom were considerably tho worse for liqaor, halted me und wanted to fight. I hud a pencil and a block of paper with me, and I wrote: “I urn deaf and dumb." That mode no difference with them. In deed, they declared that it would be qnito a novel idea to Uek a deaf and dumb man, and one of them gave mo a cuff on the ear. In those days 1 weighed 160 pounds and hud tho muscle of a prize fighter. I tried to get uwuy from them without further trouble, but when they seemed determined to have a row, |[j gave them all they want ed, and wasn't many minutes about it. A crowd of soldiers and civilians collected, the provost guard eamo up aud the result wus os I bad anticipated. I was arrested and carried off to a guard house. One of the young men, alio afterward turned ont to be related to a member of the cabinet, followed me to the office of the provost marshal and charged mo with being a spy. No one seemed to entertain a doubt that I was ileaf and dumb, as I claimed, and my ex' amination was carried on in writing. I was asked my name, age, where born, nnd a hundred other questions, anil thin searched. They found nothing on me of a criminating nature, and I reasoned that f would be detained until after the excite ment had passed and then turned loose. After being detained three days ah officer entered my quarters one morning and said to me: “Well, dummy, you can pack up aud get out." The minute I heard bis step outside I was on my guard, but he spoke in such a nat ural tone that I came near giving myself away. On three different occasions during tho war I played the part of adeaf and damn man, and I tell you it takes all the nerve and presence of mind a man can call op. I sat facing the door, and, while I heard his words, I made no movement. He catuo closer to me and said: •■Come, pack up your traps; you are to be turned loose.” I looked him straight in the eyes without winking, and alter a bit a look ot chagrin stole over his face und he motioned for me to follow him. Ho took me to the provost marshal's office, and I was ushered into a a private room, where the marshal and three or four other officiate were seated. On the way to the office, as we crossed a wide street, the officer suddenly exclaimed: “There’s a runaway hone—look out!" If I hadn't been expecting some such thing on bia part I might have betrn\ cd myself. I gave no sign, continuing on with my bead down, I heard him growling: “They think they've got n sneker, but they'll find out their miatake!"
