Rives Pollard was shot and kuled yester- dsy by James Grant, have caused considerable stir im this city from the fact tat Pollard formerty resided here and has family connec tions here, The act of shooting ium from a Window seems to have been a cowardly piece of business, but from his reckless course of life such an ead was pretty nearly inevitable. For years he bas led au Ishmaelilish lite with every man’s band against bis, and his armiust every man’s. Soon alter the commencement ot the re lion, Mr. Pollard, (who was then connected ‘With the Baltimore Suy as‘its news editor.) in comp ony with his brother, E. A. Pollard, the Southern historian, went to Richmond, V where they immediately became attached wo the Ricbmond Franiner, owned and adived by th late John M. Daniel, the latter (E. A. Pollard) having charge of the semt-ed:tori:l, or original war news deparimert, while the decaased was the general news editor of that journal, Throughout the whole of the war they both semaiped on the £zaminer. dating which time the deceased fought a duel with a young officer of the Contederate navy, in which four shots were exchanged without injary to etther Pity, andalso hada difficulty with Thomas W. McMahon, author of “Cause and Contras',’ and other minor works, because of some news- paper criticism conceruing that gentieman, m the progress of which Mr. Pollard drew a pis- tol upon McMahon and fired at him as he was runming up tbe sieps of « buildmg on Main street. Subsequent tothe close of the war, the deceased engaged with Mr. Charles H. Wynue A well-known book and job printer of Rich- mond, in the publication of a newspaper called the Richmond Times—the former as its editor and the latter as business proprietor—which connection existed but about three months, when & severance ensned because of a conflict between Mr. Wynne and Mr. Pollard as to the extent of the interest the latver held in the busi- ness. The difficulty resulted in the ousting of Mr. Pollard, upon whick a snit was entered for what he claimed as his dues, which was Prosecuted for several months, and finally set- tled by compromise. Abont three months after the severance of his connection with the Times Mr, Pollard purchased the right to publish tha Examiner from Mr. R. F. Walker, to whom Mr. Daniel willed the paper at the timeof his death, and shortly afterwards reissved that journal. which he continued to publish with an ultra Southern tone for several months, till its sup- pression by General Ord, then commanding General of thar city; but in 4 week or two afterwards the publication was resumed by Permission of President Jounson, who revoked the order of General Ord. The Examiner was regularly continued by Mr. Pollard, til about fighteen months since, when on account ot a aifbeulty between hunseif and a gentieman who held a heavy claim upon the office, which culminated in sever! newspaper publications, be (P_) disposed of his interest iu that journal. Dering the time of his last connection with the Freminer, be had a series of difficnities, in one of which, following a personal attack trom a party in his private setting-room aud editorial office, be srmed himself witha double barrei shot gup d with the hammer at balf cock stood guard a few paces olf while he made his servant boy post hand-bills denouncing bis antagonist (1 Mr. James) as a poltroon and a coward During this time Mr. James was just opposite in the Spottewoud Hotel entrance room | armed, and waiting for the approach of Pele lard, but before he had time to do so an officer ‘ic Lim into custody, and probably prevented bloodshed.

This brought op a jonz Is suit, hut how it was settled we do not remem- ter, Subsequently le pursued the same fe. mate to Baluimore, where he toand her in con pany with a Mr. Hipkins, of Norfuik, Va. whom be(P.) shot and wounded in the lg just as he (H.) was gettiag into the back to drive off with her, This difficulty resuite! in aeriminal prosecution, but was finally compro- mised ata heavy sacrifice to Pollard. About 1s months ago Mr. P commenced the publi- vation of the Southern Opinion an ultra Southern pictorial weekly. Mr. J. Marshall Hanna, the sutbor of the article about which Mr, Pollard Jost his life, was also attacked to the Baltimore Sun ull the rebellion, when he went South, and during most of the time was employed iv the same office with the deceased. He is <picy, bitter writer, very reckless, and his had fre. quent difficulties. On ove occasion an exchange of four or five shots each occurred in the streets of Richmond between Hanna aud R.
