The unfortunate affair seems t< )e the culmination of a letter sup >osed to have heen written hv ten Sellers to the State (now spa >er) some weeks since, accusing dr llasohlen of dispensing liquor rom his home near this place. Yesterday morning Mr Her Rollers received a message from dr Haselden, asking him to come ivor to his gin, which is about a nile from here near the lluaeldec lomestead, the message saying; hat he wanted Mr Sellers to setle with him for a number ol >ales of cotton which he had gin led for him some weeks since, ,nd to remove his cotton seed, vhich was in the way. Mr Sel ere wont to Mr Haselden's at ai arly hour this morning and th( tusiness was quickly settled; uf er which Mr liaseldcn accuser dr Sellcis of being the author ol he above mentioned article.

Immediately afte the second shot Mr Sellers pullet sis pistol and opened fire upoi :he occupants of that buggy. At this moment the two bug ; j uries separated, one going a short ] way up the railroad track and the rear one <r*>iti<r to the left a short ) I distance below. The second bug ! gy contained Messrs Haselden and I Evans. When the buggy came to j a standstill Mr Haselden got out land walked toward a dwelling I house some distance from the j platform, from which point he J tirod several shots. Owing to the > t ~ ; fact that .John C Sellers came up p: on the scene at this moment it is I not known upon whom Mr Ilasel* I j den's shots took effect. Mr Sel ,, lers rushed out upon the platform , to the ai<l of his son and drew his . pistol and opened tire upon Evans, II who was then the only occupant of the buggy.

A negro, who witnessed the > | whole shooting, said that Luther i j M Haselden got out of Dr Ed wards's buggy as they drove up 1 and got on the south platform ' from that side.
