( From the Nashville Whig of Dec. 5 ) --FATAL AFFRAY AT COLUMBIA. Intelligence reached this city yesterday of the death of Richard H. HAYES, Esq., of this city, in a street encounter in Columbia with Mr. William POLK, of Maury, brother of the Hon. James K. POLK. The parties met on the Public Square about 4 p.m. Monday, each armed with pistols and exchanged shots almost simultaneously, a buckshot from POLK’s pistol piercing the brain of his ill-fated antagonist. HAYES lived through Monday.
