ONE MAN SHOT DEAD IN HIS TRACKS. ANOTHER MAN SHOT AND HAS HIS THROAT CUT. TWO OTHER MEN WOUNDED. The City, at an early hour yesterday morning, was excited over the report of a most tragic occurrence, on Monday after noon, at Dearing, on the Georgia Railroad, in which Mr. A. N. Hodo, a former resi dent of Augusta, and Mr. Ellis Adams, re siding about a mile from Dearing, lost their lives, and two others received ugly wounds. The statements of the affair which have reached us are numerous and conflicting. The most reliable account which we have been able to gather is that furnished us by a gentleman who came to the city yester day afternoon to procure a coffin for Mr. Hodo, which we give, as hurriedly detailed to us: . About half-past two o’clock Monday af ternoon. at the store of A. N. Hodo. con nected with which was his brother, Jlser Hodo, and J. B. Lambert, a difticiitJßA cause of which was not stated, tween Lambert and Ellis Adams. TheMp ter drew his knife, which was followed by the former also drawing his knife and warn ing Adams not to approach him. At this juncture Adams drew his pistol, when Lambert walked into the store and gath ered a gun, one barrel of which was said to have been loaded with small shot. As Lambert was returning with the gun, he. was intercepted by A. N. Hodo, who In duced him to give up the gun. In the meantime the report of a pistol was heard outside, and Dyer Hodo, a one-legged man, clerk in the store of his brother, exclaimed that he was shot. With this, A. N. Hodo stepped to the door with the gun, before which EUisand Kiuchen Adams was stand ing, when Ellis Adams fired upon him without*effect. Hodo then fired his erun, with wbat effect not kuown, when another shot was fired by one or the other of the Adams brothers, the ball taking effect just above the left nipple of Hodo, when he fell and expired Instantly. Seeing his friend and business associate thus shot down, Lambert immediately left the store and proceeded to the house of Mr. James Harris, where he procured a gun and returned to the scene of conflict. As lie advanced upon the brothers Adams they were each firing, a shot by one of them wounding him in the lip. Lambert continued to advance, when the brothers becoming separated, lie followed Ellis Adams, whom lie fired upon, a few hun dred yards from the store, and it is sup posed shot him down, is a party who went in the direction a few minutes after the discharge of his gun, found Adams wound ed and stretched upon the grouud in amt apparently dying condition. In the excite ment of the occasion, Adams was left in the condition in which he was found. A ishorfc time after, he was visited again, when it was found that some unknown person, to hasten the work of death, had plunged a dagger three sevenl times into iiis throat, and that he was quite dead. His body was then taken up and seut to his residence, about a mile from Dearing, no inquest having been held. The whereabouts ofKineheu Adams hive not yet been developed, and it is presumed that he has left the neighborhood. The young man, A. N. Hoflo, who met such a tragic death, is represented as hav ing been of excellent character, and most highly esteemed for his sobriety and kin dred virtues, which had endeared him to a large circle of Mends both In Columbia county and this city. No arrests, are reported. The wound of Lambert is not regarded serious. Dyer Hodo was severely wounded in the side, and while his injuries are not regard ed as necessarily fatal, he is lying in quite a critical condition. A Negro Killed by an Atlanta Policeman. —The Era reports that in At lanta, late last Friday evening, policeman Couch and Holtzclaw attempted to arrest Ross Moore, a colored man who had escap ed from the chain gang. Moore fled, into McPherson Barracks and under one of the buildings. He was pursued by the police men and stoutly resisted being arrested With a billet of wood he struck Holtzclaw, badly injuring his left arm, also hurt Couch about the face, but not seriously. During the melee Couch fired his pistol at Moore, and unfortunately the shot passed through his heart, killing him instantly. Couch was brought before Justices Smith and Spencer yesterday for an investigation of the case. The investigation has not yet been concluded. Medical Student Shot in Columbia County. —lt was reported here yesterday, that on Monday night Mr. Lucius Adkins, i student in the Medical College in this city from Columbia county, was shot and dangerously wounded in his left arm and breast, within about six miles of Dearing. One account represents that Mr. Adkins had a personal difficulty with some person, (name not given) in which he shot and mor tally wounded Ills antagonist, and while en deavoring to make his escape, was pur sued by friends of the wounded man and shot. Another is, that three mounted men attacked him on the road and shot him without warning, and that himself and a negro who brought the intelligence to the city recognized the man by whom he was shot. The brother of Mr. Adkins was sum moned from this city yesterday morning, to visit his wounded brother. Railroad Accident.— The down night passenger and up night passenger grains on the Georgia Railroad collided near Llthonia on Monday night. The locomo tives were slightly injured, and two or three of the platforms of the cars smashed. No personal injuries resulted, and but email damage to the trains. The down passen ger train due here at 3:45 yesterday after noon was detained by the accident, not arriving uutil within a.few minutes of six o’clock. ; , , River News. —The river continued to rise during Monday night and yesterday morning until 11 o’clocf, when it reached its greatest height—22 feet. It then main tained a stand until the afternoon, when it commenced falling, and at 5 o’clock regis tered 21 feet 11 inches at the bridge. The steamers Swan, San Antonio and Katie left for Savannah yesterday morning. Significant.— The negroes continue to leave Virginia. In Halifax county the black vote has been reduced five hundred. Dr. I. M. Wise, editor of the Israelite, at thus sketches the impressions received while among us; Augusta is a handsome city, with wide and well shaded streets. It has consider able trade and several factories. There is left an unmistakable appearance of wealth, enterprise and comfort, undisturbed by the late war, as the armies had not come this way. The climate is delightful in this sea son of the year. An Italian sky and the luxuriant evergreens of Southern Spain charm the eyes. The magnolia reaches here its perfection in size aud foliage. I walked over the splendid bnrial grounds near the city, and could not help noticing the marked difference in the pale, dwarfish and sickly shrubbery of the Northern gar dens, parks and ornamental yards, and the healthy offspring of unabused nature, breathing a mild and genial atmosphere, and cheered by the enlivening rays of an amicable orb. Plants are no human im ings. They can not withstand the influ ences of a rough climate as we do with our thousand and one artificial means. They suffer in the foreign climate and thrive tas tily in their own. Man moves in two at mospheres, the physical and spiritual. He finds in the latter the means to vanquish the hostility of the former. Nevertheless, man was not born to shiver In the regions of ice and snow. The best treasures of the human family were amassed in the happiest clime, in Greece and Italy, Egypt and Pal estine, Persia and India. Inclement re gions forced man to invent, the congenial atmosphere gave him freedom to feel and think, to sing and teach. Religion, poetry, philosophy, and the fine arts are the chil dren of the South; mechanics and natural sciences, the inventions and the factories are the offspring of the North. Freedom gave birth to the former, necessity to the latter. These were some of my reflections in contemplating the marked difference in the same shrubberies North aud South. Men do not differ much in a country with so many various means of communication, so numerous vehicles of rapid transporta tion, so restless a spirit of the people, and so brief a history. Southern and Northern men are so nearly alike as those of two States in the North, say Indiana and Ohio. The same language and roast beef, red houses and carpeted rooms, mixed com plexions from all European shades ; there is nothing strikingly and characteristically particular in the people North aud South. The yteculiarities are insignificant, and may be traced back to causes not climati cal. Augusta is a fair specimen of an old Southern city, pleasantly located on i large I plain. Convenient houses, with surround ing yards set with shrubbery, old fashioned court-house in the square with tall trees, business streets with many small stores and broad side walks, and people march ing slowly anil gravely along, mark the character of the old aristocratic home. Down near the Samunah river, navigable only a few monwftof the year, there are the cotton now con siderable life aj^^^HK^owitig up its of the crop of 1809. Here 1 mill. I have my criti ct'ie held out, andWWWßpUwve been hired, admired and save made people tired more than once; I havebeen expected, respected and suspected, and sorts of things. But hash, what you think of that? hash has never before been made out of me. Hash, say hash, one of the craft made hash of me, and next morning brought me out in his cola nan headed local hash. O wickedness, thy uame is editor ! Aside of making hash of a poor stranger, the Au gusta press has done admirably well in the premises, in describing the raying of the corner stone, etc.; but hash, may the Lord forgive the wicked man and restore him to mercy, as he saved me from out of the hash dish. This city had Hebrew inhabitants before the American independence, as an officially recorded deed proves. The daughters of that family still live here. It had a con gregation for fifteen to twenty years, who met for divine worship in a hired room, and possessed part of the city burial grounds, for the use of the congregation. Os late, however, after the close of the war, the congregation elected a minister, Rev. Mr. Fisher, and after him,' Rev. Mr. Blum, who officiates there now. Judge Samuel Levy, Ordinary of the county, was elected Presi dent, and Mr. Jacobs Secretary. The con gregation resolved to build anew temple, bought a flue lot in the heart of the city, and began to build. Theo. Abraham, Esq., of Charleston, K. C., made plan and specill cation, and superintends tiie work. The laying of the corner stone has al ready been described in our columns. It was, and has since then found its wav through the American press to England, France and Germany. J must add that the ladies also took a prominent part in th • festive proceedings. The ladies of the co t gregation conduct the religion* school wit'i a zeal and circumspection highly honora ble to the geuerous hear; and pious senti ments of the daughter of Zon The young pupils of both sexes, under the charge o ! ‘ tne ladies, took a prominent part in the procession. The affair was highly satisfac tory to all parties and honorable to the con gregation. The citizens, generally, seemed to be niuch interested in th o affair, and the press gave it full attention. Among the most pleasant acquaintances which I made in the city, there is also one lady, who, being a favorite daughter of the muses, had been well known to me by her poetical contributions to this journal, al though I had not the pleasure of a personal acquaintance. The musesareso whimsical and capricious in our days, that they converse with but a few chosen favorites, and those few are of peculiar interest to the admirer of Olympian messages. I was introduced to Mrs. R. A. Levy, well known to the reader by her splendid poems. In the midst of a nice family,, she is not only the favorite of the muses, but, also, the wife and the mother, beloved, respected by a large circle of friends, and Happy by the happiness around her. Leaving the house, I called up in my mind all the Adas, Minnas, Hannahs, Claras, altogether with the Nathans, Maxes, Hermans, and the rest of the poetical souls whose personal ac quaintance-I had made in former days, and thought they are happy creatures who dine with the gods, ride with the muses through the realms of phantasy, and have that pa radise within themselves which so many seek in vain in this cold selfish world. Asa peculiar item, it may be set down, that, in this county, one Israelite, Judge Levy, holds the responsible position of Or dinary, which is something equal to our Auditor’s office, and another Israelite, also Mr. Levy, holds the office of sheriff, both to the utmost satisfaction of the commu nity. Contrary to my intention I stopped in this pleasant town from Wednesday to Sun day morning. I here made a number of notices which I must keep for my review on the social and political condition of these States. So much, however, must be said here, that rebellion, secession, slavery and fire-eating are played out in this part of the country. I heard only one man brag he would fight the rebellion over, if neces sary, and he was a Northern man who, I was informed, never smelt-gunpowder. On the other hand I conversed with soldiers of the late Confederacy, who had passed the ordeal of the whole war. They main tain there can be no curse invented by Satan worse than civil war which, they hoped, would never again fall to our lot. I heard men of Southern birth in Georgia and South Carolina t peaking as patriotic and sensible as any “ Most Humble Ser vant of the Sovereign People,” making a terrible noise on Spread Eagle and Star Spangled Banner in the halls of Congress, and telling his constituents how he would die for his country in case he could not help otherwise. But I leave all those things to some other day, and want my readers to know now, that I remember Augusta among my most pleasant reminiscences.
