Greensboro Patriot -: . ? From
passengers . on the Charlotte train this morn
mg. we learn that Gen. Leach was assault-'
ed on the streets in ' Lexington, yesterday,
by Mr. Heitman, & lawyer living in - that
town.. Leach and Heitman met on the
streets when angrywdrapassedbetween
them, aoout the compromise 01 tne case ot
Garrett vs. R. &D, R. R., mentioned a few
days ago in : the Patriot It ; seems-that
Gen. Leach was not an attorney jQf record .
for Garrett, and the , clerk Of the "court re
fused to accept the costs in the case when
tendered. by him. Heitmaa, who was Gar
rett's regular attorney; hearing of the trans
action, was looking for Leach when they .
met on the streets. In the course of a qua
rel" that ensued,' insulting' words passed,
when Heitman' drew apistol, and was only -prevented
from using it by the interference
of bystanders. Parties' from Lexlngion, in
town to-day think tha affair has not ended, - -and
that bloody results may be looked for.
' 1 Gbldsboro" Jcssener. We have
received' from CoL J.' Wi' Andrews; Supr-
.intendent of theMidland.N. G. Road,- a
copy .of his report relative to the condition
Of the rolling stock and road bed of the At--lantio&rN,
CL Road. The report puts . the
road in much better condition than we were
led to believe if was from Gen. Lewis re
port, read before theatockholder's meeting.
We are informed by a neighbor of Mr.
Joe Parks, who lives in the county? hat
the latter gentleman! had .nine sheep( killed
by bird dogs Saturday morning. ' ' The
gin 'house of Mr. li. E. : Grantham was de
stroyed by fire , a few days ago. . . We learn
that the property was partly insured.
Mr. Ben Albrittan lost his barn of corn and
a number of farming utensils by fire one
day last week the work of an incendiary.
A Gbldsboro man last week; in response
to an, advertisement, sent to New York for '
an accurate,' twenty-inch; "double-barreled -:hreech-loadin
g gun -. This gun; Would be
sent f or five dollars, two dollars of which
must be paid in advance, the Temamder C
0. D. An hour after theguh reached pere
there was a very mad man in town. It
was the man who ordered the gun.- That -gun,
was single-barreled, ;j and long enough
for a coroner s report, V '

8. Brown, of Wytheville, Va.," has been
called, as,. supply to St. Marks Lutheran
Church in this city, by the council of that

The boy was found insensible in the yard.
. Extensive improvements are to be r .
made at the All-Healing Springr in Gaston
county. Plans have been received for lay
ing off the . large grounds ' in avenues
which divide them into 110 lots. These,
lots are .to be ; sold. The design ; is to
-make a summer village ot the property.
We did hot anticipate any serious op
position to the re-election, of Senator . Ran
som at the ensuing session of the Legisla
ture, but we learn that Hon. W.:TiDortcb,
State Senator from Wayne,; has announced
himself to the members-elect as a . candidate
and bases r his ; opposition to Ransom's re- -election
Tipon the ground that the latter has
been Senator twelve:, years that he. has
voted for nearly all the extravagantappro
priations proposed by the Republicans, and
especially .that he voted -to pension Gen.
