A Raleigh Sentinel correspondent reports from Franklin County and Jackson County detailing violent attacks by men from Tennessee. Morrow and accomplices killed a lawyer Boon and a man Cooper, wounded another, and fled to Tennessee. Cline was shot in Jackson County, tied to Brownlow influence. The piece also covers local court activity, a Charleston railway plan, and anti repudiation letters.
