The Reign of Terror In the South.

The N. Y. Tribune says:
The following extract from a private
letter from a lady in Mississippi comes
to us from a source which renders its
authenticity certain. Under existing
circumstances, it will be read with pc.
culiar interest:
awe have had great excitement
about an insurrection that has been in
contemplation among the negroes in our
State. Last night was dreadful night
with some people here. They couldn't
sleep, sat up all night watching, expect
ing every minute the negroes would
come in and kill them all. We have a
lady staying here "a Miss B., late Of
Kentucky,) who was badly frightened
/ couldn't prevail on her to undress.
81 would hate awfully to be on big
plantation with two or three hundred
negroes on it.
"In W County, about twenty
miles from us, the excitement was
greater than here There were several
white men implicated, and a good many
negroes. They hung some, and whipped
others nearly to death -
It is rather an ugly thing to talk
about, but the fact is, good many pri-
vate letters from the South tell similar
stories. There are some things that the
newspapers do not feel at liberty to
print. The idea of the danger Of negro
insurrection is the skeleton in the closet
of the ceeessionists. They have, of
course, no doubt of their ability to crush
out an insurrection of negroes, but they
dread the horrors that may be perpe-
trated by few desperate men.

sAv1Na SEED CORN.

Mr.. r. .Halbrack, distinguished
farsser Of Bsatthborough, Vermont has
published long communication on the
subject Of caltivating Indian corn, in
which we find the following mode
adopted by him in selecting seed corn:
While apon my present subject,
will say word about saving seed corn.
All experienced farmers are aware that
the productiveness and early ripening
of any kind of corn depend very mueh
upon the manner of selecting the seed.
| hvae long-eared variety which l
have been planting and improving for
the last ten or twelve years; and al
though during that time have tried,
presume, a dozen other sorts. I give
the preference to the first named sort.
Whatever may be said in favor of a
change Of seed, as regards other crops,
there is no need Of ofehanging seed corn,
provided care Is used in the early Sc.
lection Of that for planting By proper
attention to this matter, variety may
Be perfectly adapted in its habits to
given climate aud soil, and changed
much for tho better, as to productive
ness. The difference in product be-
tween careful selection in the field, and
taking seed at random from the crib
will in few years be much in favor oi
the former mode, the soil and cultiya.
tion being in both cases alike. AS
soon as the cars are thoroughly glazed,
l go over the field myself, selecting
from those stalks that are ssstoeky''
and vigorous, and that promise two
good ears. The selected ears are taken
Immediately home, braided, and hung
up in dry, airy place. When I CON-
menced with my fayorite variety, it was
difficult to find twin ears, but now they
arerabundant. My crops also ripen ten
days earlier than at first. ] will not
mention the length Of the ears.

PECULIAR MANUFACTURE.

The way certain class of stories are
manufactured may be gathered from the
following expanded item, which, in its
present shape, we clip from tho Capital
City Fact:
"PRINc1PLE REDUCED TO PRACTICE.
Another instance of practical amalga-
nation has lately taken place in Ohio,
the scene of three -fourths of such opera
tions. Miss Georgietta Tucker, highly
accomplished white girl, a graduate of
Oberlin College, and a successful
lecturer on literary subjects, eloped re-
Gently from Toledo, with colored bar
Der, and, went to Detroit, Michigan,
where they were married, to the infinite
disgust of the girls father, who is said
to be nearly crazy from this red1ction
of principles to practice" !"
The item first appeared some weeks
since in the Toledo Times and made nc
reference to the color of the clipping
Miss, though the fact of the omission
would have led to the necessary infer
ence that she was not white. However.
directly afterwards the item re-appeared
in the Plain Dealer, Buffalo Republic,
&c, with the statement that the clipping
girl was white. TO cap the climax, a
few days since it came out again in the
Toledo Times, among the clippings, as it
had been improved during its circula-
ton. At last the Fdct has got the girl
highly educated and accomplished and
her parents in deep distress, because
their daughter had thus thrown herself
away -
The following from the Oberlin News
is conclusive as to who Miss Tucker
was and as to her rights in the premises:
Miss Georgietta Tucker is colored
girl who once worked in an Oberlin
family, but never had any connection
with the institution. Miss Tucker had
a perfect right to "elope" with one of
her own race if she felt inclined to, and
Democratic editors have no business to
say, "Why do ye sop unless they envy
the barber, which, We are inclined to
think, is the secret of their trouble.
But the falsity of the item will make
no difference whatever in regard to its
circulation. It will go on circulating for
an indefinite length of time, and will
finally expand into gigantic proportions,
under the careful nursing of Democratic
editors, until it is scarcely possible to
guess what shape it may assume And
this is specimen history of nineteen
twentieths of all such items, which are
circulated with such frantic delight by
one portion of the press.-Sum Reg.
