AN OUTRAGEOUS PROCEEDURE.

Fevers and agues have prevailed to an alarm
ing extent in Union county the present season,
and it has been found very difficult for farmers
to procure laborers to secure their crops. Mr..
Fenton, who has large cotton farm in what
is called the Mississippi Bottom situated
about miles from Jonesboro, was compelled,
order to secure his cotton, to employ IS
negroes, who commenced work on Monday of
last week. On Sunday night mob composed
of the meanest and lowest class of the citizens
of Union county, armed with guns and in dis
guise, approached the ground where the ne
groes were sleeping fired into the gin house
and quarters contiguous None of the negroes
were wounded, but all of them were badly
frightened, and all but ten of them ':vamoosed
the ranche.' Notice was then served upon
the foreman that no negroes would be allowed
to work upon the plantation Of Mr.. Fenton,
and as Mr.. F. cannot secure white labor to do
his work the enormity of the outrageous ac.
tion of the mob can be easier comprehendel
than described.
Mr.. Fenton, however, is fully determined
not to be brow-beaten nor controlled by the
mob, and will meet the scoundrels with force
if necessary. Civil and military laws are both
violated by the procedure. and they will be
made to teel the tull force of outraged Justice
if they do not suspend their yillainous opera
tions.
Mr. F. informs us that none of the respecta-
BILE. responsible citizens of Union county sus-
tain. endorse or approve of the course of con-
duct above alluded to, bE on the contrary
deprecate and regret It,

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct S.-Quarter before
one O'Clock to-day the seyerest earthquake
ever felt here frightened almost the entire pop
II lation into the streets. During half q minute
two tremendous shocks occurred, causing the
buildings to rock to and fro III an alarming
manner. The large congregation in the Uni
tartan Church was beng dismissed when the
shock commenced Ladies shrleked, and all
rushed for the doors faster than could be ac-
commodated with exit room. Similar scenes
took place at Sc Marys Cathedral, and in
some other churches Sunday School schol-
ars rushed so desperately from the Catholic
Church on Valljoe street that the doors were
carried away and many persons injured by be:
no trampled under foot. Many buildings were
cracked, The Cosmopolitan Hotel
and other buildings of that class were not
GENERALLY more seriously injured. More or
less plastering fell from perhaps half the
ceilings Of the city. Much window glass
was demolished. The fire walls and cornices
fell from many buildings. The entire front
of a large four story brick building, just
erected on Third street, fell outward Gov
erne about half that wide street with frag-
ments. One indepently constructed Chin
ney. of Loch house, fell in, crushing through
the roof of the dining-rOOn, leaving piles OF
brick among the tables and dishes, to the
astonishment of the boardcrs, who were
taking lunch. Three servants were in jured,
and two Chinese badly injured by the fall
inc fire walls on jackson street. The City
Hall bell commenced ringing.
The interior walls of Bell-JoWer were much
broken up, assures two and three inches wide
opened IN the lower part OF the city whore
some of the ground was elevated many inches
above Its former level. Brief accounts from
Sacramento, Stockton and San Jose, represent
the shock the severest ever teit in those cities
1t vas not tell at Marysville nor Placervllle.
The town uf Santa Graz was shocked with
great severity, some brick buildings suffering
severe damage, and one or two destroyed.

TN-We learn that Messrs. Hamilton Reilley
are preparing their stock as to be ready to tear
down their store corner of Sixth street and
Commercial Avenue, in order to build the
finest store yet raised in Cairo. These gentle
men are too well known in Cairo for panegyric
or eulogy; having settled here in the gloomy
days of the city, they now sail placidly along
in the current Of its prosperity. We also un-
derstand that they intend going into the hard
ware and furniture business exclusively. They
are now selling their stock very low to make
way for the Improvement.
POPLAR STREET.-Much activity and i'm
provemcnt is noticeable on Poplar street, in
the neghborhood of the new Market House,

Smith, (Goldsmith) where he keeps a fine as
sortment of groceries. Mr.. Smith is well
known and liked by all,

enterprising young men have, by atnion, integ-
rty and ability, risen to a position of compe-
tency and standing in a few years, and that in
the grocery trade.

New YORK, Oct. 9-This morning the
counsel for young Ketchum announced that
he would put in a plea Of guilty to the in
dictments charging his client with forgery
1t appears that the prisoner proposes to
plead guilty, but as matters affecting his late
firm and their creditors are still pending and
unfinished, and his explanations and testi
mony are still required by those interested.
1t is desirable to defer the plea to as late a
day in the present term as practicable
The District Attorney said such request
was not unusual, and gave notice that the
plea must be put in on the last day of the
term. This was agreed to.
The case of jenkins, the Phoenix Bank
rObber, was called this morning, and the
District Attorney announced that he was not
ready to proceed, besides he had learned that
Jenkins was about to make a new plea,
which would be OF kind that ought to have
a very careful consideration; he therefore
requested that the case go over for the term,
to which Jenkins counsel said agreed. The
Recorder gave his consent.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The Herald's Savan-
nah correspondent says the election in Georgia
was proceeding very quietly. No military
were near the polls, and everything in connec-
ton with the election was being managed by
civil officers.
In the majority of counties but one ticket
was being run, and it is said that good class
of men were selected as candidates in the in
terror of the State. General harmony and
quiet prevails. The people accept with a fair
amount of grace the new order of things,
though planters coming into Savannah from
some sections make strong kmplaints of ne
groes neglectng their wor and say that in
consequence this years crol Fill be failure.
The Herald's Raleigh correspondent says
that the people of North CAROLINA and especi-
ally those around Raleigh, ;ae very decided
in their approval Of the emphatic way in which
the State Court disposed Of tie secession ord-
nance by declaring it not onlt to be null and
void but to have always been 20 since its pas
sage. The inhabitants are a.,o represented as
being extremely hostile against those men who
assisted in p!unging the State into rebellion
In the Convention on the 4!h inst, resolu-
tions We're introduced but laid over for future
action, expressing the utmost confidence in
President Johnson. and thanking him for the
course he has pursued towards the erring peo-
pie of the South, TO The gratitude OF all whom
it is believed he is entitled. The resolutions
also endorse Governor Holden, and express the
belefth no State will ever again have a
desire to abandon the Union.

BEDFORD, Pa, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE %, 1865.

thai the white men are not Ii the States that
haze been subdued or the people of them, arc
not N territorial condition, but States, as we
maintain they were, in rebellion, then President
Johnson has no right to make any such decla-
ration If he does It he does it in the teeth OF
the Constitution of the country that we have
attempted to support and maintain here. So
far rs the discussion in reference to the question
&c s.ftfage is concerned it IS cf no concern to
me- I have nothing to do with it. do not
care whether the people Of Virginia, or North
Carolina, Or Kentucky, or Of any other State

but theirs. fChaors. In Illinois, where Ege,
whenever they decide that the negroes shall
vote, Ii Is their decision. The Constitution says
they have a right TO decide. and when they do
so, / say amen to it. CThrqe clfess for Illinois.
Bat antii they do makassnzsAsa dsstsion, in their
sovereign capacity as zee, no President has
a right to decide for them
These are unmistakeabIe evidences that in
the great struggle which must take place in the
country upon the reconstruction question-a
struggle OF the people against those who would
enslaFe them by the use of centralized power
we can look for the support of the soldiers
against the radicals They will not aid the
conspiracy which has been gotten Up to contin-
ue tie sectional agitation for personal and po-
litical party purposes, nor win they agree to
aid it creating pseudo pablic sentiment in the
States as a means of embarrassing the efforts
Of President johnson to restore peace, order
Tranquility and law to the nation. They are
with me Democratic conservative men of the
country, and will stand by the President so long
as he continues to follow the path marked out
ny the Constitution as he has done in the North
Carolina proclamation. These Chase Sumner
consplrators need not expect to sail over the
summer seas to the haven they desire to reach,
nor to debauch public sentiment by means Of
the brave soldiers who have just returned to
the ranks Of the peopIe.-Ags
