A NEGRO SCARED To DEATH ny An ELE-

the following, and calls 1t a case OF "'l',

be negrocide, as it was the negro. and not
the elephant, that was scared to death:
"a negro man, belonging to DR.. Sanders
of Holly Springs, Dallas county, we under
stand, was frightened to death by one Of Ma
bie's elephants, week before last. The cir
cumstances, as we learned them, were these:
After the performance of the company AT
Holly Springs, the elephants were removed
a short distance from the pavilion, and con.
fined in the bushes, tu await the tame oi

The negro, seeing the colossal proportions
of the animal, which the darkness of the
night no doubt greatly magnltied. made "
herculean effort, and succeeded in escaping
from the disagrecable embrace; he ran Il
short distance and fell to the ground. ar"uS-

COMMUNICATED
Passing down King street, On Friday
night, about 9 o'clock, my attention was
arrested by seeing a number Of persons
standing in front of the Marshall House,
and upon approaching, | learned that Hon.
VIM. Smith was delivering a speech. The
"noise and confusion was great, and | had
to get very near the steps before | could
hear what was said. The speech as well as
| could judge, was intended as Il reiutatlon
of certain charges brought against the speak
er by members of the Democratic party. 1t
rained hard, and soon after | arrived, Mr.,
Smith closed his speech. Being IL Wing
one of the old Clay Wdiy$-l confess | felt
a little bad ut seeing what | ut first supposed
to be u Democratic jubilee; but how rapid,
" nv spirits rose, and how e~Xultant did |
feel when, lust as | was leaving the spot. the
band, a very fine one, struck up aud p'aycd
most beautifully, RALLY Wines. could
hardly stand still, and the Wings around
me seemed alike exhilarated. The effect on
the crowd outside was electrical. There
went up first a shout for Thomas, then one
for Goggin, and then a rouser for the " higs.
How those inside felt can better be imagined
than described. 1t was evidently Il mistake
of the band, RALLY WITHSTAND they will
rally Without proper organization, una
ware of their own strength, they have re-
duced the Democratic majority from %o,0to
to $500 in the Gibraltar of Democracy. and
in 1860 we hope to hear that soul-inSpiring
but old familiar tune, RALLY WIGS, played
in triumph. 1t is Il tune at which the heart
of every Wig leaps with joy: and when It's
notes went out on the breeze on Friday
night, the reception it met with showed
what a hold it had with the masses. The
Marseillaise when heard in France does not
produce Il more startling effect than does
RALLY WHO'S upon the Wing party. +.
