1 (hsnute came a fight in whichbisnev, .
it it said, introduced a shovel as an
effective weapon. The Bulliners
were driven from the harvest-field,
but soon camo back armed with
guns. Sisney ran, was shot through
the leg, and fell. The attacking
party, supposing' they had finished
him, withdrew. Sisney, however,
got well and brought suit against the
i Bulliners. The suit was iudecisvie,
i and from it came another fight. One
Sunday after church Sisney, rein
forced by the Itussels and Hender
cugaged the Bulliners, Cranes, and
Hiuchcliffs. Clubs, stones, and
knives were freely used, and the
battle lasted an hour. No one was
killed in the encounter, but Sisney
and one of his sons were terribly
beaten. This increased the hostili-
J aml intensity which death only
J could satisfy.
Soon after this Old Man Bulliner
was riding along the country road
from Catersville to Carbondale,whcn,
from a little clump of bushes in a
j rail-fence, came a volley. The old
man was tftken UP almost riddled j
j with buckshot, and carr.ed home, j
where he died in a few hours.
The next victim was Old ManHcn- j
dei son, his death occurring a few j
; weeks later. He was standing
in
! his own yard, in front of the house

If my memory serves me, this also
occurred one Sunday afternoon.
T , .. . . , f ,
I those interested worked up by these !
quickly successive murders, and so
great was the terrorism inspired
throughout that section of William
son County, that barely a ghost of
an effort was made to detect the per
petrators of the crimes. One had
been killed on each side, but there
were left large families of boys, each
with its friends and supporters. The
third victim was a Bulliner, one of
the old man's boys. He was talk
ing along the country rond, and Lis
aunt, an aged lady, was a few rods
in advance of him. Oue shot from
the bush killed the young man, and
a second rendered the old lady a
j help'ess cripple.
The next man to go down was a
- lT?t
farmer named Ditmore, whose on y
connection with the feud lay in tne
fact that he had seen the old man
Henderson killed in the dooryard,
and was relied on as the principle
witness for br'nging the assassin to
justice. One of the HinchclifTH
went next. Ho was riding to
wards town when a volley from the
brush killed him on his horse. This
was about two moutns ago. It was
now t'-e turn of tho Bulliners to kill
and the events of the past week have
shown that ther are not to be the
first to cease this terrible work.
j Last Saturday night, as my in-
formant tells me, a man crept up to
within gun-shot range of the house
ol William Sisney. the lately elected
bhomrof Williamson County. It
was early in tho evening, and the
curtains had not been drawn. Sisney
sat near the supper table conversing
with a youug lad named Ifindman,
the son of a neighbor. The nssas
in discharged a double-barreled
I shot-gun, heavily loaded wilh bucl
hlot and sbigs. Sisney 's arm was
torn to peiccs and some of the load
lodged in his body, producing

know every cow-path and trail iu
this section of the county. They do
their appointed work in ambush, and
then glide away to their homes until
their turn comes again to kill. There
is aterrible earnestness about the
feud, and the secrets of both sides
are sacredly kept. Month after
month the community is aroused by
the fact that another life has been
taken, and that is all. My inform
ant says the terrorism which prevails
can hardly be comprehended. No
body dares be seen with those known
to be allied with either side, and no
body dares appear to avoid either
party. 3Ien stay epiietly on their
farms and keep their fnmilies about
them. Thore is no society, and no
going out after night-fall.
SHOOTING NIAGARA.
Descent Of a Schooer down the RaoidS
and Plunging over the Precipice.
A correspondent of the Louisvil
t7ou.Wcr-Jour;iavwriting from Clarkf
ville, Tennessee, under dato of Do-j
cember 19th, sends the following de- j
scription of a remarkable scene wit-
uessed at tho falls nearly half a cen- j
tury ago:
The following copy of an old let
ter, dated Buffalo, New York, Sep
tember 9th, 1827 nearly fifty years
ago gives an account of the descent
of a vessel over Niagara Falls on the
8th of Sentember 1827. Probably

an expriment which I believe has
never since been attempted, I have
transcribed it for the for the readers
of the Courier-Jo nrnal.

is as follows:

atin at Black Bock,
and about a mile below the rock took
in tow the vessel destined to make
the dreadful plunge. As soon as
wo got under way the scene became
interesting. The sun shone in full
splenduir, tho waters of the Erie
were placid, there being scarcely ft
a rutHo upon its surface, and a few
miles astern of 113 four steamer
crowded with passengers, and with
bands of music on board, were
plowing their way down the rapids
of Niagara. Our little boat towed
the Michigan as far as Yale's Land
ing, on tho British shore, within
three miles of the falls, wlmo she
anehoied; at this place the Chippe
wa landed her passengers, as well as
the "William Pcnn, and they were
conveyed thence in vehicles of all
descriptions. The other three steam
boats landed their passengers on tho
American side.
Three o'clock was tho hour ap

orders from their commander. And'
now we npproach the interesting mo-
ments of the exhibition. ! The high j
grounds on both sides of the Ameri
can and British shores were lined
with people, having a full visw of
the rapids and of the approach of
tho vessel. And now it was that a
thousand fears and expectations
j navigator would have pursued, bar-
iug an American ensign flying from
I her bow-sprit, and tho British ; Jack

displayed at her utern. She passed
the first rapid unhurt, still head on, ' ,
making a plunge, whipping a sea,
and rising from it in beautiful stile, ;
and ij her descent over the second,. -her
mafcts went by tho board, ni tho
same moment all'ording. those' who i
hud never witnessed a shipwreck ft -
specimen of tho sudden destruction
of Knars of a bip at nea in Case of a
j wrecic. Expectation of her fate wa
j now at tho highest. She swung-
oud and presented her broadsido
j to tho dashing and foaming waters,
j aml ftfter remaining stationary for a
i aonicnt or two, was, by its force,
wimg round stern foremost, and
having passed to tho third rapid, she
bilged, but carried her hull, appar
ently whole, between Glass Island
.and the British shoro to the Horso
Shoe, over which she was carried
i "tr," fomost, and launched into
I 11,0 nh' below. In her fall she
"iWd a singular appearanco from
Ltho thousands of tloating fragments,
i l,lor'' scarcely seen any two
hoards muled together and many of
her limbers were broken into atoms.
Such was eagerness of the multitude -present
to procure a piece of her that
before suuset ft great part of her was
carried away. I believe I have near
lected to inform you of tho animals
onboard. They consisted of a buf
falo from the Rocky mountains, thrco
bears from Green bay, and Grand
river, two foxes, a raccoon, n dog, a
cat and four geese. The fate of
theso you will probably wish to
learn. When the vessel was left to
her fate they were let loose on deck,
except tho buffalo, who was en
closed in a temporary pen. Two of
the bears left tho vessel shortly after'
she began to descend tho rapids,and
sw.un ashore, notwithstanding tho
rapidity of the current. On reach
ing tho British shore they were
taken. The buffalo was seen to pa s
over tho tails, but was not visiblo
afterwards. What became of tho
other animals is not known. Thoso
who had glasses could see one of
tho bears. climbing the mast as tho
vessel approached the rapids. Tho
foxes, etc., were also running up
and down, but nothing was scon of
them after the schooner passed over.
Two cf tho geeso were the only liv
ing things that passed over, and
they were taken up unhurt. Major
Frazer obtained one, and an En
glishmau purchased tho other for$2.
Respecting tho c figics, of which
there were Fcveral, tho only one I
saw below the falls was Gen. Andrew
Jackson, apparently uninjured,
throwing bis arms about and knock
ing his legs together in tho edd'es,
the only one of the crew that escaped
