 MEssRs. EDIToRs Inasmuch as you seem to be generally kept posted up with general news from other counties, doubt less you would like to hear from old Law renee occasionally, hence l take this op- portunity of submitting few facts of the most general interest among us.
 Tn the first place our school at the Per kin's. Institute, Is in a prosperous condi- tion, and Mir. John k. Irwin, the principal of the institute, is now determined to build up school that will not only be credit to himself, but an honor to the citizens of Smithville and vicinity. Mir Irwin is a young man of strictly moral habits, a gem tleman and scholar, and believe is the very man to build up high school in tie town of Smithville of no ordinary repute. take pleasure also in saving equally as \ much for young lady, Miss West who has charge of female institute three miles east of this place The first session of her school closed the other day. and the gen eral remark Is that she has acquitted her self with great credit. as well as to the general satisfaction of her patrons.
 Ours county i. improving rapidly in every department of business Five wears ago, 8S,O0O worth of goods at first cost, was about the amount sold& smithville in twelve months; this year, if the mer- chants had kept full stocks the whole sea son, their invoices would not have footed up less than $50, ,000 and perhaps $40, GOO. Quite an increase in trade within the last five years Other business has generally increased about the same in ratio-except in the medical profession, and. if our coun- ty was <amous for game, 1t would not be surprising to hear of our doctors convert ing their pill-bags into shot-pouches, and declare .if there was no sickness in, the country, they could have soine sport hint- ing and fishing, Sorry .tor them, for our medical men are generally those that would 7 be classed among the most scientific of the profession. Lands here are ranging from S2 to SS per acre. Any quantity of un improved lands (say the best quality, can be had at S5 per acre.

 June 24th, 1859 Messrs. JOHNSON & IERKEs- Dear Strs. We have had one of the most awful trage- dies here this evening that ever civilized man witnessed. There was some words between Col Black and Warren Sans in a grocery soon this morning. About f o'clock this evening, Col. Black and Sans met on the street; some words occurred and after several shots with Colts repeat CTS and double barreled guns, Black and Sans fell to rise no more. J. W. Moody was severely wounded in the left knee, and 1t IS reported that young Sans, John Black. James Smithson, (son of the late Gen. B. H. Smithson) were wounded, but as they left soon after the shooting l do not know any thing of their wounds.
 Our town is in great excitement, as Black and Sans are both lying corpses at this writing. What caused the shooting l do not know. This is the first killino that we have had in this place, and would 10 God that l may never see another man fal by the shot of his neighbor.

 Some of our planters in the middle and low country have unequalled advantages in raising sheep. ThSe are thousands ofacres which are perfectly dry during the summer and autumn, and which by thinning out and burning, might be converted into yards which the proudest nobleman might we'll envy. These, in the summer would sus- tain large focks, and at the same time be made instrumental in restoring the exhaust ed uplands. #
 We commend this subject to the thought ful consideration ofthe soathern land owner. It is now practically in its most unattract i've form. We ask him to look at 1t in it's larger relations If tas Ensishman can send us his wool from land, one acre of which will sell for about fifty times the price of a southern acre, why can we not raise the same wool st greater money profit, and for the morrapid improvement of our lands?

 The subject of this notice was in field the day before his death, when some dogs which had accompanied him commenced barking ata log. Supposing that the dogs had treed a rabbit, the boy ran his hand in the log when he was bitten in two places on the hand between the fingers, by snakes. The boy being heated and the snakes infu- riated by the dogs, the virus soon spread through his system. In two hours after ne was bitten, the writer was called upon to see him, and found him completely pros trated The pulse was very feeble, the ex- tremities cold and the body covered with a clammy, death sweat Upon cutting open the log, three moccasin snakes were found, two of which had no doubt bitten the boy JOHN w.

History of the Mass Meeting.

Last week, under the caption of '' hocus pocus," we gave as we believe true state ment about the pretended great mass meet ing held in this city on the 23d of May We expected reply from the State Rights Democrat to that article, but were disap- pointed. That paper did consume near a half column on the subject but contained not single direct denial to our article, nor an argument in the whole of that verbiage, and in fact 1t was a very lame article to have emanatel from head quarters as that evidently carries the ear marks of having come from that source.
 That the democrats out side of the coun- ty may have full and correct view of that mass meeting, we will briefly write its his tory, and if we misstate any fact or wrong any one, we will with pleasure make the correction. Here follows the only notice ot q mass meeting that was given, it was pub liShed in this paper at the request of Col Hindman:

X Hrroo Coop To BE LoaT-BilI Polk, as he isamilially called, is a man of deci- ded witnd humor. He seems to be dis gusted nth the eternal agitation of the nig- ger quaion, and does not appear to have much spect for the good sense of the agi- tators The Franklin (Tennessee) Re view ates the following "gooi one" Of him:
 '.sood story is told of Bill Polk, in conntion with his canvass with Thomas for Congress. Thomas had spoken first at Shelyile, and as is now the case with ncar all anti-delnocratic speakers and wrirs, thought to make great capital out ofte nigger question. He spoke long and louy about Kansas and Lecompton; in fac he spoke of nothing else. At the cIc of his speech Polk arose, and with th peculiar comical look which he knows sorell how to assume, he called loudly for
 hsheritf of Bedford county. Noresponse, al aga,n Bill called at the top of his hs>, Mr. sheriff; l say, Mr. Sheriff, come he
 IfPrascntly the sheriff appeared and asked nat he wanted. l want, says Polk, a
 roners jury summoned immediately.- | Ly competitor has found dead carcass, l.ght here in this room The Kansas Ne l.aska bill has been dead for two years; it fast becoming putlid, and l want an in quest held over 1t 50 that 1t may be de- genty buried. It is needless to say that the Iig5er speech of Thomas was very ef- fectualIy killed by this unexpected sally of Bill Polk.
 The truth is, there is general, almost a universal demand for a coroner's jury to hold an inquest over the dead and putrid carcass Of Kansas, and the ngger question. While yet there was life in it, every part- cle of party nutriment had been extracted, " sucked dry as husk," and it is high time a verdict was brought in, <" died of exhaustion, etc., etc., and decomposition has so far progressed that it is impossible 10 identify the body" Bear off the corpse of the Kansas nigger.-N.

Public Speaking.

Public Speaking.
 Col. T. O. HINDMAN will speak, on the political questions of the clay, at the court house, in Helena, on Monday, May 23d, 1859, being the first day of circuit court.
 A fair division of time will be made with any gentleman wishing to discuss. A full attendance of the people generally, and oi the democracy especially is respectfully solicited.
 Handbills containing not quite so many words were printed and circulated in every direction. Could anybody expect a mass meeting to come out of such notice as this. The people were not invited to come up and participate in a mass meeting, but were SO licited to come and hear Col. Hindmaf speak. This was the only call upon tic people, and it does not even hint that a mass meeting was in contemplation.
 This announcement stood until the first day of circuit court, and as is always the case large number of people were in the city, and when the hour for speaking arriv. ed, took their seats in the court house. hen and there the hocuS pocus was played upon them. The mass had not heard there would be mass meeting that day; 1t wa: not announced two days before; it was no known, save by few, one hour before the time of speaking, and the people thus ig norant of what was coming went in to he'd the speech. But they soon saw the meet ing hocus pocus changed into so called mass meeting. Then set of resolution, were read concerning the Governor, tht United States Senator, the leading demo mocratic paper of the State, and concluded by indorsing one man. and indirectly con demning every body but that one man. Does that sound democratic? Did the de mocratic masses of Phillips county do this. By no means-they do not tie their faitf to any one man in any such a one sided way. In our honest opinion an overwhelm ing majority condemn and repuliate tho action of this meeting g.-Helena .Somhron
