Last Wednesday morning at an early hour quite a commotion was created at the Bolivar Steam Saw Mill. Two American citizens of African descent were piling lumber; Charlie MILLER threw a plank, which struck Andrew JACKSON on the leg. JACKSON became enraged; procured a pistol, came up to MILLER and fired upon him, the ball taking effect in MILLER’s body near the hip joint, right side. JACKSON seeing what he had done, immediately left for parts unknown. The wound inflicted is a painful though not a dangerous one. Both parties are loyal citizens.
