OF The following very interesting ex-
tract we take from the last Paris letter to
the New York Journal Of Commerce.,
Since the horrible affair at Djddah, anoth-
er crime has been committed in Bosnia by
the Turks, of different but not less grave
character. A razzia was made on the Chris
tian families, and $50 young Christian girls
were carried off for the harems of the Mus
suImans They robbed the houses and the
Christian churches, massacred the Old men,
the married woman, and the children. The
Christians are fleeing in large numbers to
Austria, leaving their homes. furnished and
without means. The Austrans have fur
nshed shelter and food for more than 1000
women and children in fight from tho at
rocities Of the Turks in Bosnia. In fine, the
whole Turkish Empire is in state of fer
meniation which must very soon demand the
most energetic measures of repression, and
this repression can alone come from without.
She must consent like Italy, TO the occupa-
ton of her territory by foreign soldiers.

Murder Of the Sheriff of Campbell Coun-
ty and an Assisting Officer By Counterteiters.
just on going TO press, we learn the par
tculars of an outrageous murder by counter
feters in Campbell county. From two
sources we have the full particulars, which
are true beyond nll doubt. One letter from
Jacksbo!o,' to a gentleman in Knoxville,
Is: .... ...I
We had an awful occurrence here to-day,
in the mountain, four miles north of this
A man by the name of Turner Of Anderson
county, and another named Lewis, siad at
I.aban Sharps last right, aed offered him q
$40 counterfeit bill. Sharp said he could
moi change it, but would come to town with
them. After thew got into town, they paid
their bill and left; and Sharp got the Sheriff,
S. D. Queener, and Travis Gibson, and pur-
sned them. When they got up with them,
Queener put his hand on Turner, and said
he arrested him. Turner pulled out his
pistol and wounded QueeDer. They both
jumped off their horses, and Queener knock
ed him down and held him until he saw Lew
is stab Gibson, causing immediate DEATH
Queener ran up, and was also stabbed in the
neck, above the collar bone, and in the
shoulder, and fell. (He has since expired.)
Sharp about this time came up, and Lewis
and Turner broke and ran.
The postmaster at Jacksboro', has instant
y dispatched intelligence of the affair; and
MS the assassins are supposed to have made
for some point on the railroad, 1t may be
hoped they will be arrested.
This occurrence gives additional assurance
of the existence OF n band Of counterfeiters
in that region, and the citizens cannot be too
vigilant.-So. Citizen.

IssuRAscE.-The Importance Of insurance

ISsURAScE.-The importance Of insurance
against losses by fire and water may be seen
at glance by the following figures: There
was 322 fires in the United States in 1867, and
the amount Of property destroyed was SI4,.
100000. In 1856 the amount Of property
destroyed was upwards of 100000 greater.
The entire loss by Marine disasters in the
month Of December last, was 81, 3O6, 1885,
The above amount included thirteen steam.
ers, forty-two ships, thirty-two barques,
twenty-five briggs, and fifty-seven schooners.
II this property was insured, and the most of
it undoubtedly was, many thousands, per-
haps millions of persons bore the loss, each
ore suffering little, whereas if no insurance
had been effected, many persons would have
suffered business ruin, while others would
have been seriously crippled in their affairs
of life.

tag The N. O. Crescent scent. a conspi-

t- The N. o. Crescent scents a conspi-
racy to kill off Senator Douglas, right or
wrong. He stands on the Presidential track,
and must be knocked off or demolished in
some way before 1860. Quoting from an
attack of the Washington Union OH Doug
las, our contemporary says:
"The eiict has gone forth that Douglas
and his friends must be broken down, and
kicked out from the democratic camp, mark
ed and branded as traitors. II this move
ment succeeds, more than two birds will be
killed by the stone, and great political events
in the future will be affected by il. The
killing off of Douglas will be tantamount to
the killing off of Wise, ETC., and Thus al least
two aspirunts for the succession, promising
to prove troublesome, will be placed hors du
combat. The movement is a very adroit one,
and worthy the head in which it originated.
Although Mr.. Buchanan is pledged not to
run again, still, he might consent if his party,
through their National Convention, should
insist; and, If he doesn't run, of course he
will do all in his power to secure the nomi-
nation for his trusted friend and adviser, Sen.
ator Sidell. What better plan then could
be devised TO accomplish either of these OBJ
jects, than to ruin the prospects Of the two
most prominent candidates for the Presidcn-
cy-Douglas and Wise-nearly two years in
advance of the actual commencement Of the
struggle"

the dog felt, and that seriously, by the
incoming crops. Corn has been injured
within few days, beyond what could have
been supposed from its hourishing condition
two weeks since. In some localities the ap-

The general remark is, that the fields were
scarcely ever seen to blight more suddenly.
Yet it is also true, that much of the old corn
is pretty well made; while good rain might
yet save the latter fields. The crisis, howev.
err, is a doubtfn! Edgefeld Advertiser.

WHAT is "SLAvERY."-The New Orleans
Crescent, in an article remarking on the
expose of Mr.. Reed, the American Minister
to China, concerning the Coolie slave trade
as conducted in the "Ceestia Empire"
says:
1t may be that the "cooie trades is but
another name for the slave trade" We
shall not dispute it. But, the world is slave
mart, ercept in name. There are more slaves,
except in name, in the city of New York,
than there are negro slaves in the State of
Louisiana. There are more slaves, except
in name, in England, than there are negro
slaves in the whole Southern States. The
man who questions this, questions the truth
truth that is exemplI6ed and illustrated in
every civilized country under the canopy of
heaven. The name is the thing-not the
reality. And the worst of the matter is that
the slaves in the free countries which camor
loudest against slavery, are not one-fourth ms
well cared for rs Southern slaves, and are
much harder worked, besides being ground
into the dust under the pressure of The free
labor system.

Nor UNPRoFITABLE.-It is said that the
Sergeant, at Arms, at Washington, has had
allowances for constructive mileage made
him during the last session, amounting to
$4,000. lie is allowed ten cents mile for
travelling expenses while subpGnaing wit
nesses. AS interpreted at Washington, he
may sit in his office in that city, and charge
the travelling expenses TO every copy of q
subpoena he serves out. Considering the
profits Of the office il is surprising that there
are not more applicants for il. Constructive
mileage is nothing more than swindle of
the public treasury, and if it were not that
the members Of Congress have devised vast
additions to their pay through The same fig
ment, it would have been abolished long ago
in every department of the Government.
