Big Row Among the Colored Population - On Monday evening about dark, a number of the Burial Corps (colored) got into a big row with the colored people of the town, which lasted a considerable time. The fighting commenced on Main street, near Craghead, and as it progressed the Burial Corps darkies retreated down Craghead street and went toward their quarters near the new cemetery. 
The police were present and endeavoring to suppress the disorder. The belligerents were separated on the hill near the colored Chapel. Three or four of the Burial Corps were wounded, one in the head severely - One of the town negroes was shot in the head. Pistols, sticks and brickbats were freely used.
