Ktta Janb, Sept. 20.?A rIiHi^rolftjr oc eurred in tlic upper part of tliis county la?t week, among some of the railroad contractors and their employees which resulted in the wounding of Zcb Dalton for resisting arrest. The facts as we Itave them briefly stated areas follows : Dalton who had been in the employ of Kennedy & Hut dsn, as foreman, c'aitned about $7"? or#$80 for his services, including a de'd he got from John Kennedy, went to the commissary of said tinn without having a settlement with them and by threats ami with other demonstrations of outlawry proevoted against the protect of the clerks in charge t:? take goods to satisfy his claims. This nafu -ally led to the issuing of a warrant for his arrest which revolted in his being shot for te-is ing. Mr. John Kennedy, wlio was implicated with Dalton i't the outrage, lull sold Ids els'in of stout ?dl on the firm of Kennedy & Ihmlett, to Da'von. This nuiount Da'ton also proceeded to settle in It in own way, by taking goods from the commissary, lie look the g >ods to a house rented from John Kennedy, where they, or most of them, were found ami "oeovcred. Mr. Kennedy was prosecuted for complicity i>t the abominable t-anac ion, but before tlic case was brought to a conclusion the prosecutor withdrew the suit against John Kennedy. In the meantime Dalton, who was rcpo: ed badly wounded, was removed by bis friends and concealed or taken olf out of reach and has not yet been found. J.

To the Deuiocnlsc Voters of the 4th Congrcssiona' Di-i cl: A reuiarkab'e ci "cular is being dis Ibulcdj teton the ere of the second Congressional primary election in the 4th district by Capt. (!. \V- Shell, or his supporters, which is misleading not only to the honest and *V uiinced 'u-aiera of the district, but also to those of other arocations. This c:rculnr m net put out over the signature of C.'pt Shell, for he could not consistency as n fi?i- m-in ns-,ttnc rcspo,isibility or it in the Pglit of the following racts : f First. On the 8t'i of Sent ?rnbe % lS'.H), the l>e nocra.ic Conven.ion of Spartanburg County me, to e est delegates to the Democratic State C ?nve.i.ion of September 10. At this County Conrenti n Capt Shell was present. A resoluCoii was offered in snbs'iinm ?. log thst no one be supportod for Cong reus who reprisenled but)King institutions or niltoad co-po'Mt'ona. While this resolution was being discussed I whs sent for by it prominent fa.'titer, a member of the Convention. with the request that I appear h;fort the Convention and speak in reference to the resolution, which was believed to he aimed at nir candidnc". I a*niled myself of the opportunity offered, and. addressing the Co.tvcn ion. x?id that 1 did not repre?ent any banking institution, as an ntio'iiey or s'ockho'der. 1 slated that I was employed by one of the railroad corporations as its attorney in suits at law, but that if I should be nominated for Congress I w'ouM under no circumstances represent nuy railroad company as its attorney or ether rise : that all of my time, i.tlent and labor would be entirely devoted to tite interests of my whole constituency, and that political Itones'y at.u fealty to the Detnocta.ic pa-ty would characterize my public l'fe. That Convention, composed of two Itundrc I delegates, over one hundred and eighty of whom were fanners, received my s a'cntciil with much applause, and by au overwhelming vo e tabled the resolution. This dist'iict statement of mine Capt Shell heanl. 'Hint tlio Democrats of my county, who tin*I trusted me in peace and war for thirty-five years, placed confidence in this avowal of my pm?:t'on ami purpose, was tv need on the 23d inet.ant at the ballot boxes of Spartanburg Coutt'y by their overwhelming vote in my favor. From the data of the Convention until the appearance of this circular, niter the verdict of the first 4^ primary had been rendered, no charge or insinuation was to my knowledge made aga:nst me upon the lino of these resolutions. Second. It will not do for the advocates ' of Capt. Shell to insist that he he elected upon the ground 'tint he is a farmer and that the halls "of Congress are crowded with 'awyers." Since the fact is that he declared on ihc slump?and signed n con I ir.iuc. io en ivy oiu imp ueci vrnuon?? ? ?! ::u I wr.?M withdraw from the canvass if I ami oilier candidates would do so in order to I sun ruder tlie licld in ft candidate who wit* not only a lawyer, but also the local attorney at ITniui of the Iticlmond nod Danville Kail road Company, and against whom no insinuation had been matte upon that accoiini. 1 have ho1 ein made a lair nud candid s'lltetttehrTb inei? tho ooecrt ntol unfair attack which hat horn made upon me in this eveular, and I now fiilunil the ca-o to tho impartial judgment of my follow.cii izena of the Democratic parly at 'lie ballot box.
