HELENA. ARK, Jan. -. 1864.
The blood hound question has been often
discussed in the North, and Mrs. Stoves
narrative Of the barharous custom Of hunt
ing men with hounds has frequently been
denied. High toned Southerners have col
Ored with piOus indignation at the idea,
and feeling women have denied the impu-
tation as an abolition talsehood.' The
fact is, the barbarisms of Slavery have
been studiously concealed by the represen-
tatives of Southern chivalry, and the North
has only been allowed TO take look now
and then behind the curtain. Then the
happy Sambos(?) have arranged in telling
tableux, and the Northern audience has
gone away astonished at the beneticent in
stitution.
Recently circumstances have happened,
and facts have been disclosed in Coahoma
county, mississippi. opposite Helena.
which have determined to send you. and
forever settle the blood hound question:
The staunch old veteran Buford commands
at Helena. He is known as an elegant
gentleman, philosopher among white
men. and u terror to Secessionists-an iron
hand concealed beneath the silk glove. He
is General Judge, Jury, Mayor and Gov
ernor Of the city, and through his strategy
many Secess:onists, Guerrillas, and Rebel
officers are brought to justice. Every law,
order, and proclamation is carried out. in
letter and spirit, in his department. Not
withs,anlng the Presidents proclamation,
james Stacey, II citizen OF CoahOma county,
continued his only legitimate business OF
hunting runaway slaves with blood
hounds.
Gen. Bueord heard the hounds baving
over the hills, and thinking blood hounds
and slaves were antagOnistic to the spirit
of the Proclamation, he broke it up. Capt.
Il. G. Meatyarder was sent with a squad OF
soldiers, and James Stacey was caught and
brought to the military prison.. Mrs. James
Stacey, i'll at ease that James should be in
terrupted in his honest and respectable
calling, came to see the General in regard
to releasing her husband. In answer to the
questions of Gen. Buford she said, in the
presence of your correspondent, capt.
Meatyarder, Lieut.. Chandler, and several
other gentlemen, that her husbands occu-
patton was to hunt negroes-that he kept
from five to ten hounds all the timefor this
purpose-that he had hunted slaves for q
hundred different men in Mississippi, and
that slaves were sometimes bitten by the
dogs. She said James received $40 per day,
or 500 per head for each negro caught, for
the use of his pack Of hounds. The follow
ing IS a correct list Ofprominent citizens IN
Mississippi, for whom James Stacey has
hunted negroes: DR.. Pease, Col. Fowler,
Frank irving, John Clark, DIR. Vahder-
WORT, DR.. Gates, NJ. II. Mcneil, Gen. Al
corn, DR.. Rouselle. p. Dickinson, l.. Dick
enson, Lieut.. Col. Chambers, Frank Wood,

James Stacey acknowledged in the pres
ence Of Col. Il. and your correspondent,
that he had hunted negroes for these prom
inent and respectable citizens, and made

CONC TO SMASH AGAIN.-The whole host
Of bears, copperheads, traitors, rebels and
grandpa financiers are again trying hard to
make the people believe that VERY soon
we are all going to smash" How such an
event is to come about has not yet been
made plain, and as to the date Of said ca
tastrophe, no Daniel among these financial
prophets can vet cipher it out. Where is
this smash to begin? and who will show
US any sign thereof, tangible to the senses
AS for ourselves, we do not look for smash
ing ywhere-save and except that which
General Grant shall finally give the rebels.
That kind of Il smash" we most devout-
ly pray for.
we say, most emphatica!ly. So long as
they continue to do business for cash and
very short credit, as they have done the
past three years, they are safe. The man
who can, in view of present facts, predict
an early smash in that direction is SIM
pleton. But, it is said, goods are going to
fall, and then the smash will come in.-
Don't our merchants know that, and are
they not only prepared for il but abundant
Nv able to ride triumphantly through such
adverse changes? The loss Of the profits
on a seasons business, or on even that OF u
whole year, would not hurt them, and much
less "smasl," them. Whoever knows any
thing about the prosperity they have en-
y
disaster in that quarter. No, no, the mer-
chants are not going TO smash. They are
stronger, safer, more independent than ev-
er. Many 1T them, a majority we think,
could pay every dollar they owe in thirty
days, and without any specia, effort either.
Rest easy, therefore, ye croakers about the
merchants.
Are the manufacturers going to smash?
Well, the thought Of that provokes smile.
AS class they are absolutely beyOnd the
reach Of any ordinary financial disaster
II squall comes, they have only to trim
their sails and 70 to anchor. They owe
nothing, as class, and are now selling
their goods mostly for cash, as fast as they
can be delivered. A more aristocratic, in
dependent set Of men do not exist, here or
elsewhere, than the manufacturers. Count
on one thing as sure, that this special class
OF our fellow-citizens are not yet quite
ready to so to smash.
Are the farmers going to smash? We
would like to see the man who will venture
that prediction. Such q time for pay ing off
notes, mortgages, and old scores, among
this class, never was known before. As a
whole, they are now ''rich and saucy,n and
AS sound as nut. Some of them cry, it is
true, because they have not more corn to
sell at a dollar and a quarter per bushel.
more butter at thirty cents a pound, and
more cheese at fifteen; more hay ut thirty
dollars ton; more horses and more oxen.
more beef and more pork, more wood, and
more-everything-tO sell at unheard Of
prices. Poor fellows, we pity them, but
they shall not go to smash just yet, If We
can help it. 1t is asserted, with some show
