MRssRs. EDIroks: Being on the wing
through this section OF country,I have not
been able to pick up many sstit bits'' of in
terest between Keokuk and this place. This

your rival cities, and that seems to be the uni
versal opinion. Keokuk will more than real

There has besn not a little excitement in
this place the past two days, occasioned by .
negro numbering white man. AS near as
understood, the following are the crcumstan-
ces The white man Wright was his nancy
was a dealer in negroes and went from this
place to Gentry, about so miles, where he
bought slave to ship South; and while RI
ding along in the buggy together, within
about three miles OF town, the negro having
obtained possession of the white mans re-
volvers, shot him through the head, killing
him instantly. The negro then fed, and has
not yet been taken, though scouting parties
are out in every direction. LEARN this morn
ing, however, that his whereabouts has been
discovered, and that a party Of about twenty
FIVE started out this morning to bring him in.
In all probability if taken he will be burned
at the stake in this city.
The Hon. Frank p. Blair, the champion Of
human rights, spoke here the ether night
There appeared to be a combination to choke
him down, but despite all the opposition Of
the slavery myrmidons, he spoke on and made
himself heard. He told the people some
truths that will have their influence in thu
coming election. | would here say, by thu
way, that very large number OF the meeting
was free soil, and were disposed to give Mr.
Blair fair hearing, but, as you are aware
few disorderly persons can make grea
deal Of confusion.
This morning saw man direct from th'
gold diggings. He came through siace TIL
23l. He says Horace was most villainousl,
bambooxled If he vouched for the stories b.
heard. This man, who, by the way, appear
honest and reliable, says he has been all owe
the so-called Gregory and other diggings
and that there is not single person in tn
mines ~ho is making as much as two dollar
q day. There are many there who are almos
/ in a starving condition, and many are nlread
