      On yesterday at the race ground in this vicinity, an affray took place 

between  Messrs. Russell, Weaver, and Mabry, in which Russell and Weaver were 

both badly wounded, Weaver mortally. We were not present to witness ourselves 

and those who were, seem somewhat confused as to the report they make; the 

following however seems to be the fact; Russell by some means offended Weaver, 

and he (Weaver) struck him (Russell) with a horse whip; upon which he stabbed 

Weaver and for the infliction of which Mabry shot Russell in the arm; it is 

also said that Russell fired at Mabry without effect. The wounded men were 

brought into the tavern and the best medical aid present was called, but about 

9 o’clock last night Weaver died. Russell will probably recover.

      Is it not the above in character with horse racing? Truly “the wages of 

sin is death.” Christians, you who were there--lay it to heart. Madisonville 

(TN), Friday, (Feb) 27th.  Monitor.



      On the 8th inst., at Frankfort, KY, Samuel Q. Richardson, Esq., a 

distinguished lawyer, was shot through the body, and almost instantly died, by 

John U. Warring, also a member of the bar, and who has long been celebrated 

for his turbulent spirit. It grew out of a personal altercation. Warring was 

in custody.



      On the 11th inst., an affray took place in Lexington, Kentucky, between 

Ralph B. Mattingly, of that state and Alexander S. Greene, of Georgia, which 

resulted in the death of the former.



      A encounter took place at Fort Smith, Arkansas on the 17th ult., between 

William S. Cowan and Washington Coffee, in which the former was killed, and 

the latter supposed to be mortally wounded
