With a large majority of the Slate, our peot
pie regretted very much to hear ol the death
j of Governor Ellerbe. He made us a good
r> Governor, and the people of the State mourn _
e ills untimely end, yet the chief magistracy
II lias fallen luto good hands. In the history of
s our Stale, has it ever before Tiappened that
the ht. Governor became Governor because
j of the death of the Governor?
I In the News and Courier of the !)th lust.
{ is the following from her Abbeville corre- "
j spondent:" "The negro Logan, who was shot T
if by Mr. West Harper has died." That is a -I
e great mistake, and in order to correct any b;
j other errors that may have gone abroad in ui
j regard to the affair an account is hereby given
0 in justice to Mr. Harper. Two weeks ago tort
day, he went out to his place a few miles from
e here to look alter hts business as he often did.
s In going over the farm he passed near Jim 0
Logan's house and found Jim's wife not at .
work. He said something to her about It |
, and Jim who was near by came up, went into g
> the house, got his pistol, came to the door '

I was not expecting any difficulty, wan not pre- g
y I pared for one. Mr. Harper thought best to "
r | prepare for an emergency, went to a uelgh'
| born and got a double barrel shot gun, and
[sometime afterwards was walking over the
j larm and in passing through a pleceof woods,
e ! was fired upon from ambush, but ho did not
: know who until both barrels of a double bar.

II j chambers of a pistol. These five shots were

'* { saw Logan in the bushes and briars some

?! He tired both barrels ot his gun. At the
s I second shot Logan fell. Mr. Harper Rent for a
m ! wagon aud had Logan carried to his house,
r came to this place, got l)r. A. H. Mathews and '
took him back to see Logan. He pronounced |
him pretty badly, but not seriously wounded.
e Since then till about the first of last week the'
Doctor attended him regularly aud discharged
