from the Segun Tcxas) Mercury of the 11th the
subjoned particulars Of q most dastardly outrage
We learn that some ten days ago party of sew

county, and deliberately shot him dead in the pre-
of his little daughter whilst he was planting
corn in the field. The little girl dropping corn
for her father when she discovered the seven dis
guised men At the end of the row, waiting for them
to approach. Informing him. the father turned to
flee, and was shot down. The party than took q
ried him into the woods and hung him to a tree,
and then fed. Our informant did not know what
prompted the parties to the preparation of this
bloody deed but presumes it was in obedience to an
edict of the terrific Judge LYNCH who has exer-
cised in some parts of the country for some years
past dread and poted sway The father Of this
man Flowers is said to have murdered a negro Of
his in Karnes county two years ago. and was com.
PEELED to fly from there in consequence. This may
afford some clue to the summary execution Of the

History CorroN.-The following are som
historical details relative to cotton: 1.-The word
cotton, which is adopted in all the modern languaseb
of Europe is derived from Arab word. The
origin of the use of fabrics made from this asticle
dates very far back. In the time of Herodotus, as
the Indians them in the first centuries before
Christ there manufactures Of cotton tissues in
Egypt and Arabia, but the Greeks and the Romans
did not commence cultvating the cotton plant until
after the conquest of the Tartars in tho thirteenth
century, and at that same period cotton tissues
formed an important article Of commerce in the
Crimea and southern Russia whittier they we're
brought from Turkstan. From the century, the
Arabs had naturalzed the cotton plant in Spain and
in the fourteenth, the cottonadcs Of Granada sur
passed in reputation those of the East The
acature of cotton goods IN Italy dates far back
! as the commencement Of the fourteenth century,
the first establishments being at Milan and Venice
1t is presumed that there at the period manu-.
factories for cotton goods in England. as Deland,
who lived in the tinas Of Henry Will, speaks Of
some being at Bolton on-:he- Moor, and an act Of
Parliament of 1852 under Edward W., mentions
the cotton tissues Of Manchester, Lancashire, and
Cheshire. The cotton manufacture did not acquire
any Importance in France until 1887. when the
French Government established spinning machines
at Rouen; but it not howevere, until under the
Empire that thanks to the efforts Of Richard Lenor
this. branch of industry became aourishing.''

Abolitionism and Repullicanism.
Joshua r. Giddings, the great Republican leader
says in published letter that 'every sentense for
the Helper book ''6nds response in the hearts Of
all true Republicans" That book says-'.no uao
can be a true patriot without 6rsa becoming an
aboiitionist-"-This sentence Of course, ''6nds .
response in the hearts of9sll true Republicans"
This book also declares that mot to be an sbotio-
mist is to be willful and diabOlical instrument Of
the devil. This sentence also ''f1nds . response IN
the hearts of all true Republicans" Is it not clear
then, that this Black Republican party is aboi-
ton party in disguise and therefore the covert allies
of the enemies Of the Constitution and the Unon.'
