Thi lie seemed to be seeking a difficulty, peoj and as be had already stained his anun hands with the blood of two or three The white men, a wide birth was given istil him. He paraded the streets until the nearly dark, when he entered Mr. EnI John Chilton's store, and while stand- the, ing in the rear end of it, a pistol was ord accidentally discharged by some mat young men who were examining it. S As soon as the shot was fired, Cald- but well drew his revolver and shot at a tur number of white men who were star.d- tei ing in the store talking. The ball Sin ttook effect in Dr. E. G. Banks right haw leg. Caldwell then fired at Mr. In Aaron Page, telegraph operator at con Clinton, and the ballet grazed his nail band. Then white men commenced mol firing at Caldwell, who ran down a fort pair of steps into the celler. He low tried to get out of the celler, but was teri Sunable to do so without going back I into the store. He then went to the pas head of the stairs, pushed the cellar a fi floor slightly ajar and shot at the wh white men, who returned the fire we One or two shots struck Caldwell, flee I, and be again retreated into the cellar. Wi A short time after he called for this assistance, but the whites, knowing we i the desperate character of the negro, loc would not for a long time, vent'ure his into the cellar. At last the Rev. Mr. ofi I Nelson volunteered to descend and be . see the wounded man. He took a we 0 lamp, went down the stairs and found thr Caldwell lying at the foot of the ano " stairs, Mr. Nelson, with the assis tance of several others, carried the bh' wounded desperado into the street, thi where he again attempted to renew an 7 the fight, and was shot and killed. op 's While Charles Caldwell was in the sui I cellar, his brother Sam, an equally .e desperate characseter, rode up to the ir store door and attempted to draw his TI K) revolver, when he was shot and in stantly killed. As soon as the news of the shooting was heard, the great- inl io est excitement prevailed, sad all sots be of alarming rumors were set afloat, co among them was one that the negroes na had assembled at the Wilbern place, to and were about to march on the town; RI he this cauosed great oneasiness, and p ill Mayor Lewis concloded to send for of Sfor assistansee, as there were but few th men in the town, and bhence his dis- St Spatches to Vicksburg.
