THE BLACK L1sp.-We hear that this list is reach
ing most stupendous proportions, and as the dis
posal Of The disaffected or lazy will doubt be
question which will give the authorities no little
trouble to decide, as good citizens we offer sug
geston, one to our mind valuable. Let them be
arrested and put to work the Notifications now
being constructed; proper discrimination should
however be made. Men whose employers refuse
to give them time to come up to the requirements
Of the law should be paid for their labor, and the
employer put to work in the bottom of the ditch.
We have heard of several persons dschargng
their empl0yts because they obeyed the Cover
| nors order and attended drill, and to our way of
| thinking, such men should have place at the
head OF the black list. There mot sufficient bus
| ness doing TO preven. the recommendation of
| The Governor being adopted, and the man who is
| mean enough to cut off the pay of an employG,
because he obeys the orders of the Chief Magis
tratc, deserves to be punished severely.
| STADEISG AFrAGR.-Last night, about half-past
O'Clock, two women named Jane Sullivan and
| Mary Kelly, got into drunken on Barracks
! street, between Chartres and Old Levee, during
which Mary Kelly was dangerously stabbed in the
head. Jane Sullivan was arrested and locked up,
and Kelly sent to the Charity Hospital.
THE CONFEDERATE GUARDS BARDEcUE-We have
| been requested to state that if it does not rain in
| the meantime, the barbecue of the Confederate
Guards will come off on Saturday next
| MARROW EsCArE.-Mr Alexander Flash, of
| ltampart street, made narrow escape from being
robbed on Tuesday night. A negro man named
Peter, slave of DR.. Harvey, was found secreted
| in his house, just previous to the family retiring
| Fla baI ant1 pa
there with the intention to pack off with every
thing valuable within his reach, as soon as all
were asleep. Luckily he was discovered, and the
watch being called, Corporal Carrce came and
took him off to the calabooae. People should be
cautious about looking well before locking up their
| dwellings for the night.
SUSPECTED SPIES DIscuAReED.-The three men,
| Ryan Cafircy, Richard Williams and Edward Hall,
who were arrested last week at Fort Jackson upon
suspicion that they were spies, were released yes
te-day by the Confederate authorities, as it was
impossible to prove anything upon them.
DARING HIGHWAY RoBBEEY.-A daring and suc-
| cessful robbery was committed yesterday on Julia
street in broad daylight. man named B. F. Page
| was knocked down and robbed of $50 Confede-
rate bill, at quarter past O'clock by James
! Lane. Luckily, however, officer Carpenter hap
pened to be coming along just then, and arrested
Lane before he could escape with the money.
When taken to the lookup and searched, bill
answering to the description of the one stolen was
found in Lanes pocket. He will be examined to-
day by Recorder Emerson.
A MEAN TRICK.-John Silk was yesterday guilty
of very mean trick, that is, if the charge against
| him on the First District police books is reliable
| He actually knocked down and beat numerically
poor drunken devil named Doroughty, who had
too much liquor in him to allow OF his even walk
ing without staggering from side of the ban
quette to the other. Silk arrested and Gala
boosed.
SINGULAR Su-IcIDE.-Our readers will perhaps
remember that the lst inst we noticed the
death, by his own hand, of an old Frenchmar
named Louis Aron, who was supposed to have
been impelled to do the deed by grief for the Loss
Of an only son. He was frequently heard to say
that he would not live after the 1st of October
and true enough on the morning of that day he
was found in an clubhouse of the Second District
draining machine, with his head nearly blown off
an empty gun near by plainly showing how the
deed was committed 1t seems that he left
widow, whose cup Of grief was full to Overlooking
before his death, but afterwards she never seemed
to care for anything left to her upon earth, and of
| ten expressed belief that her end was near. Yes
tcrday morning her dead body was found in the
ditch, near Il E draining machine, within few fee
from where he met his untimeIy fate. She hat
undoubtedly drowned herself in despair The
Coroner held an inquest upon the body, and re
turned verdict of suicide.

and to-day is a Sabbath of uncommon loyeliness
TIE landscape around us is rapidly assuming tn
sonbre garb Of autumn the annual carpet Of Dr.
leaves grows luXuriant, and the hickory nuts an
walnuts pelt the earth with every breeze tha
passes, whilst the persimmon, the grape, and tn
| papaw in matured lusciousness, tempt the strole
through the woods. The papaw crop hereabout
is very great, and those who esteem that fores
dainty are having high time of it. There ar

of these am one But the fruit is voraciously de
voured and greatly enjoyed by those who have tn
stomach for it. The value of papaw to papaw
eaters is well illustrated in joke heard in camp
