The "patriotic planters" as / learn
from late Southern arrivals, are not so
anxious TO burn their cotton as Southern
newspapers have taught us to believe.
Joe Acklin, Of this place, who has about
1900 bales, though a rabid secesh, so far
descended from the level of Southern
dignity as TO confer with a Federal OFF,
Ger connected with the Mississippi feet,
in relation 10 the safety Of his. He de-
clined 10 ask protection, ] understand.
But this was prudential. II was under
stood a Federal force would be sent from
the river by Col. Palmer, if any unusual
smoke were seen. But before this con-
ference was held, Acldin armed all his
Overseers and perhaps some Of his most
trustworthy slaves, and prepared to fight
the cotton burners, IL they shonld make
their appearance.
In a parish west Of the Mississippi
river, opposite to that in which Mr.. Ack-
lin has his possessions, the planters band
ed themselves together, and offered such
resistance TO Che Confederate incendiaries
that a conflict occurred, in which three
Of the cotton burners were killed. At
terward the burning was not repeated in
that parish.
JEFF. DAVIS TRIES TO DODGE.
Joe Davis, brother of jeff, by and
with the advice and consent of Jefferson,
nc doubt, undertook TO run the cotton
belonging 10 both up Red river, and thus
save it from the order Of conlagration.
But the fiery emissaries discovered his
purposes, and pursuing, did their work
Of destruction.

Does any ybody believe that the Indians
alone committed those murders? We. for
one, do not; and we know Of many others
who do not. Two or three months ago q

and resulting in The Essex silencing the
battery, which was composed Of guns Of
very heavy caibre. The Essex was not
damaged except 10 ber smoke pipes and

the Union against it's enemies, without

His rapid rise from the ranks was due to his
qualities Of mind and heart. The particulars
OF his 1eath have not been received in the
brief dispatch that sadly tells his fate to his
fsi.nes here, with whom many hearts in this
community will bleed in eympathy. The af-
