She said that a Mr. Bias had rented a part of Mr. Rupert's land from Mr. Hall, > and not long since some of the gentlemen e in the neighborhood, suspecting Bias of trading with their negroes, set a trap for him 3 aim cnugiu mm. Hall, seeing that Bias 3 must leave the place, bought the crop that 3 was growing on the place, to secure the rent for Mr. Rupert, because he, as Mr. R.'s agent, ) bad rented it to him. Some words passed between a Dr. Brown and Hall, upon Hall's purchase of the crop, and-Hall was accused of being weeessory to Bias' rascality, or conniving at it, which exasperated Hall, and - ho put a pistol against Dr. Brown's breast t nnd snapped a cap; whereupon a warrant r was issued to arrest Hall, who said that he J would not be taken.

Hall easHicd past them; Gullcy then wheeled and rode up, and summoned him to surrender, telling him that he . had men enough to take liim, and did not want to kill him. Hall swore he would not be taken, and fired his pistol at Gully, which had two balls in it; one ball shivered his knife and the other took effect in the right groin.

Hall tWn seized Gully, and they both fell to the ground. Gully culled on his friends to Bhoot him, as ho had nearly been killed. Hall see-* ing one in the act of sboottag, rushed at him.
