Horrible Murder by the Arkan'

We have already alluded to the tragedy Of
which the Cairo correspondent of the St.
Louis Democrat gives the following particu-
lars
News has just arrived here of another muir
derous and horrible outrage by the secession
lists, traitors and rebels, perpetrated at Mound
City, Arkansas, this week. An old, gray
headed man, aged over sixty years, watch
man on board of the steamer W. NJ. Morrison,
tied up by the rebels at that place, let slip
some Union sentiments in their presence. He
was soon surrounded by ruffians, who told
him they were going to hang him forthwith.
The poor old man thought they were testing,
and said "Gentlemen, surely you don't mean
what you say; am poor, old gray -heade'
man-always have worked hard and maj an
honest living surely you would not h.ng me
for the expressions of my old hop"'t neart.
The poor old man could not b"neve that the
demons could perpetrate sra murder un,
til he felt the rope round ais neck. Inc END
of the rope was throrh over tne !imo OF

The INTEREST GREAT BRITAIN IA

The INTEREST GREAT BRITAIN HAS
IN THE CONFEDERATE SrATEs.-Eng-
lish authorities have recently estimated
the capital invested by their country
men in spinning and weaving cotton
alone, at about 1926, $50, 900, and that
q furthur sum Of $l50,OO0,0OO must
be added for the process of dyeing,
printing and bleaching. The floating
capital Of the importers of the raw ma
terial is estimated at $32,5OO,OOO !;
that Of the ship owners at SIS, 900, 900
making a total, Independent of all
subsidiary trades ministering indirectly,
1928, $50, 900. These are the estimates
of Mr.. James A. Mann. in his 'Cot-
ton Trade Of Great Britain" pub
lished in London last year. The
Westminster Reviev for April adopts
these figures, and, although large, does
not think there is any reason for be-
ieving them to be exaggerated.

Bench, has granted an injunction restraining
the City Council of Davenport, from levying
or collecting any taxes for the purpose ofpay-
ing the interest or any part of the principal of
the S29S, 800 bonded debt of that city. The
proceeding was commenced in the Scott coun-
ty District Court by Mr. Hubbell, in behalf Of
large number of the ostwealthy taxpayers
of the city. Among the items of this indebt-
edness are $4,000 bonds issued to the G. &
R. R. Co., and s75,O 900 to the NJ & NJ R. R.
Co., which, it is contended, were unconstitu-
tionally issued, because the constitution does

BEANS AS A FARM CRoP.-As the
time was passed when our farmers can
safely plant corn in expectation of its
getting ripe, and the wetness Of the
season has prevented them from plant
ing as much Of that crop as desired,
suggest that one equally and perhaps
more profitable, while the war lasts,
would be white beans which may be
planted any time during the month of
June with certainty Of ripening, and
an average crop of twenty bushels to
the acre realized therefrom. A few
years since the writer planted twenty
acres about the middle Of June Of white
beans, and realized over 500 bushels
which sold for s. ard s. rs per bush
ell. The cost of tillage and harvesting
is not quite as much as the same
amount Of corn; besides they can be
planted on green sward without danger
of being eaten up by the wire worm
which is so destructive to corn under
such circumstances. Toledo Blade.
The PRESENT. The present time
seems to be critical one in the history
of all nations America is in state
Of war ; there are symptoms Of an in
surrection in Hungary there has late
ly been religious instruction in
Russia a massacre Of eight hundred
foreigners is reported to have taken
place in New Zealand by the natives !;
and in other parts Of the world great
social and political connections prevail.
The struggle now going on in America
is exciting the most intense interest
throughout the Old World. Some Of
the English papers counsel that gov
eminent to remain a neutral spectator
of the American C ntest the sympath-
les Of others are with the General Gov
eminent and few express sympathy
with the South. Of one thing Eng
land may be sure, if she gives aid
and comfort to the South, the free
men Of the North can never be beaten.
They will fight till the last drop Of
blood for the right, and if the South
has England for an ally, it will only
prolong the struggle F.; the United Stats
stands ready to whip England for the
third time. III such case Canada would!
cut loose from England, and ally her.
self to the American Confederacy, as
she has long desired to do; Ireland,
ever on the lookout for the chance to
assert her independence, would arise in
arms against the oppressor France,
whose old enmisy to England has ever
been forgotten, and who has never fcr7|
given the conduct Of the latter towardsl
Napoleon, would hasten to make a;
strike at her old foe. England surelyJ
will not dare to interfere in the present.

EXTRACT FROM A LETTER FROM T. M'wHARrER.

June 8, 1861.
MY Coon FRIEND:-* Notwithstanding
all the dark calamities that threaten us, and
shake the very foundations of our govern
ment, still we have one thing to be thankful
for, and that is prospect for glorious crop
Of fruit. We have been so frequently cut
short in this blessing, that we are now well
prepared to appreciate it. True, many of the
varieties have cast off their fruit principally,
but as a general rule sufficient amount re-
mains for good crop.
The Northern Spy is doing very little yet
Yellow Bellhower retains but scanty crop,
(never has done we'll with me, but the r. 1.
Greening, which has never before done well,
promises good crop; so also the EsOpus
Spitzenburg far crop.
The times are so hard, and apples will be
so plenty, fear the sale Of fruit in the fall
will be dull. l must get you to let some Of
your friends know where to buy good apples
We will have abundance of such kinds as
the White Winter Pearmain, Jonathan, Peck's
Pleasant, Rambo, Snow, Talman's Sweet, &C.;
and of summer apples such as Red June
Sweet June, Red Astrachan, Golden Sweet
&c. * * * x X *
A friend writes me from Oregon that the
nursery business is entirely overdone there
Good grated apple trees IS to So per hun
dred; peach, plum and pear trees very cheap
Property of all kinds down very low. They
now see little hope of Pacific railroad HI
seems to think a large party will favor Pa
cifc Republic.
Truly yours, T. McWHARTER.
SUEL FOSTER, Muscatine.
My experience with the bearing varieties O
the apple are about the same as his. would
add to the good bearing varieties White Ram
DO, Hartford Sweet, and Virginia Greening
am we'll pleased with my Wilson straw
berries, but if this dry weather continues my
strawberry patch will be played OUT early
next week.
My grape vines promise an abundance o.
the luscious fruit of the vine" Now is tn
time to commence summer pruning, and keel
it up all summer. Pinch off the ends of tn
bearing vine soon after the blossom is of
leaving three or four leaves beyond the las
bunch of grapes. S.
