We had the pleasure Of conversing with gentleman
yesterday who had just arrived from Rodney and Jack
son, AsSissppi and who being old resident OF that
section Ia possessed Of positive and reliable information
in regard to the present state Of affairs there.
For twelve days lac has been travelling in q carriage
through the ~ between Jackson, Mississippi and
Port Hudson and during the whole of that time he has
not seen or heard of single rebel soldier Not even
guerilla can DO discovered in that neighborhood.
Having an extensive acquaintance among the planters
In that vicinity he enabled to form, from converse
ton held with them pretty correct idea Of tho smount
of cotton still remaining there and the lowest estimate
he makes Il 100000 bales.
Tb7ee-ourtbs of this at least Is Owned by the rebel
Government having been bought up by their cotton
agents.
The planters are very much concerned about the cot
ton-burning order from Secretary Nemminger, which
published 10 Friday evenings edition. aud they are
exceedingly anxious that force OF Uned States troops
should occupy the country. Our informant thinks i've
hundred mounted could keep the whole region free
from struggling gsrlfs, and thereby save the cotton
from destruction. The planters viii take the oath with
the greatest eagerness save what little property sill.

CRUELTY TO SOLDIERS AND PASSENGERS.

CRUELTY TO SOLDIERS AMI PASSEN1ShS'
To hs Editor of he Wig:
had occasion lately to pass over the Danvlle and
Southside Railroad The management of the former
rosd-the Danville--pleased me very much. An at
tentve gentlemanly soldier, guarded the ladies' Cav,
preventing the intrusion of improper persons, and af
EordnR protection to ladies who travelled alone. The
watsr-coolers we're supplied With Ice, which was re-
ponshed as soon consumed; and, as the afternoon
was exceedingly hot, you may imagine what comfort
the icc-water was to the thirsty passengers.
On the Southsde road the was quite different.
The ladies' car was crammed to repleon and, 80 far
from having sentinel to attend to anybody, 1t wac
with difficulty that gentleman could get into the car
to look after the ladies under his charge. The condue-
tor. Swapping fellow, who would have adorned the
cavalry service seemed indifferent if not insOl.nt TO
the gentlemen who looking out for their wives and
daughters As for water, that was abundant but too
warm to drink The Southsde road has always had the
reputation of being shocking, wretchedly managed
CO crn, and no one expects it to furnish ice But
fresh water could easily be obtained at every station
each of which ttey stop nearly half an hour-the object
being to keep up the schedule, By wasting as much
time as possible at the depos and running at the usual
speed in the interval This ingenious plan enables them
10 consume twelve hours on the road from Richmond
L,nchburg, but docs not the road from and
tear, go far ID can see.
At tho Junction, the Encouragement was horrible
and inexcusabie. Everything was confusion. Passen
gers negroes ruShing about with heavily laden trucks
wounded soldiers, and women selling snacks, min
sed jOstled and crushed in the Darkness which few
lanterns, constantly in notion served only 10 make
Worse. saw wounded soldiers who had been yi0g on
the door all day aad who, by continually crying out
With diicul.y kept people from treadng them and
FROM being over by the trucks laden with tIu ks
Both roads are to blms for the Encouragement and
consequent suyr-g soldiers and passengers at this
point place for the transfer of baggage should be
rallied cif from the rest and the way baggage should
be checked or Labelled in Richmond. 4 few lanterns
suspended from the rGlters would do good than
dozen fitisg about the of conductors aud Mt
groes who appear to be buster talking to their friends

Allowance ought ID be made for the war times, Of
course bat the does not prevent the managers of
these roads from iplayiOg little regard for the

FATAL AccIDENT.-The Tuscola Pr
Onecy announces 'the sudden death OF
Austin p. Richardson, son of Hon.
Paschal Richardson, caused by the ae-
cidental discharge of his fowling piece.
A coroners inquest developed the fol-
lowing facts: The deceased in COM
pany with four other young men, was
in the woods, where he had previous
ly gone for the purpose of hunting
deer. In order TO have a good view
of the game, he had stationed himself
on the top of large stump on run
way, some fifteen rods from one of his
comrades. At the time of the occur
renee he was leaning on the muzzlo o
his gun; the breach of which was rest
ing on the stump. From some cause
the gun slipped, discharging both bar
rels, the contents entering the left side
below the ribs, foil lowing upward
through the lungs, causing instant
death. The charge which consisted of
twelve buck shot in each barrel made
a most frightful wound.
The deceased was 10 years of age,
n young man of promise, and was uni
versally esteemed.
