NIGHr POLICE ASSAULTED BY NEaRoEs.-On
Sunday night, officers John Murphy, Baker
Ward and Thomas Smith were called up by T.
L. Page, colored man, who keeps grocery on
the corner of Upper Union and Butte streets,
to take negro out of his store for disturbing
the peace Officer Smith entered the store and
took the man out, and just at the corner of
Union street he broke loose from officer Smith
and took leg bail out Upper Union street, the
officer after him. The negro jumped a fence
but the officer kept on his trail. Officers
Ward and Murphy followed out Union street
and cut through an alley to cut the man off
from Hawk street. When the officers got In to
the alley, they found they were fianked on
both sides by gang of negroes, armed with
clubs and brickbats, and in attempting to
fight their way out the narrow alley, were
knocked down and both beat senseless.
The alarm soon spread that the niggers had
rriz, whereupon the old United, under
Captain Lakin, turned out about forty mem
bers, and offered their services to assist the
police in quel!ing any disturbance. Officers
Bonfanti and Merchant were at the scene of
action, but the perpetrators Of the assault
upon Ward and Murphy had " took out"
They will all be arrested and turned over to
the Freedmen's Court for trial Ward and
Murphy are doing well.-No3olk Day Book.

RIOT IN PoRrsMouTH.-Our sister city,
Portsmouth, was the scene of Il serious riot
on Christmas morning about 10 O'Clock. The
fight commenced on the corner Of Crawford
and High streets, between lotof white boys
and the colored people. Stones, brick and
missiles darkened the air, and several persons
were seriously injured. After awhile, the row
became general, and firearms were used
freely. boy by the name of Richard Done
gan was shot through the left breast with a
pistol ball, and man named Duffy was shot
was hit with brick, and a negro man, said to
be the ringleader in the riot on the part of the
colored people, was shot severely in several
places. At last accounts there was no hope
for his recovery. The riot was suppressed by
the military and city police. A number Of
colored men were arrested by the military
for persistently refusing to leave the street
1t was rumored that several persons were
killed, but we could not trace further inform
alton than that given above, which can be
relied upon rs correct. -Nostolk Post

mas day. The exact facts have now been as
certained, and it proves that a number Of ex-
Confederate soldiers paraded the streets, hur
raining for jeff. Davis and General Lee. They
then proceeded to attack such negroes as came
in their way, and, but for the Intervention of
the military, scenes similar to those in the
New York drafting riot would have ensued

Danger of Too Much Cotton being Raised.

Danger OF Too Much Cotton being Raised.
Our readers will share with us the surprise
and pleasure with which we read the follow
ing paragraphs from the Montgomery, Ala.
Ledger. 1t surely is good news to us to hear that,
so far from the cotton crop proving to be a fail
ure next year, the only danger against which
it is thought necessary to warn the planters
is an over-crOp.
The mania for greenbacks and the high
price that cotton has been lately bringing, we
put too much land in cotton next year. The
ordinary calculations of prudence and sound
reasoning should premOnish them against such
policy.
Why is it that cotton sells at such enormous
prices as now Plainly because of its scarcity.
And the price will inevitably decline as the
production increases. Messrs. Neill, Brothers
curacy of their statistics regarding cotton, es-
innate the present stock of cotton in the Uni
ted States, old and new crop, at something
over two million bales. If this be true, which
We do not doubt, a large crop next year, say
four million bales, would unQuestiOnably
bring down the price TO ante-War rates. On
the other hand, a crop of half that amount
price. Would it not, then, be better for the
people of therSouth to raise only two million
bales, which would bring them as much money
in the markets of the world as four millions
and in doing this, plant largely in the cereals.
With half the amount of land planted half
the labor. half the yield, and a two fold price,
they would have abundant supplies of food
ton they would have short home supplies of
food and grain crops, and with small price
for the cotton, its proceeds would be consumed
in the purchase of necessary supplies:

who have received compensation for services TO

in August last, an Office was organized In the
Adjutant- Generals Bureau for the collection,
safe'keeping and preservation Of Confederate
archives, and DIR. Francis Lieber was ap.
pointed chief of that Bureau. The reason
OF this appointment was the necessity OF
having archives collected BY publicist Of
known character and reputation, in order that
they might be available to good, without de.
lay. He has received the sum of two hundred

eighty-four dollars, ont of provost funds in

expectation that il this appointment should
be considered one not authorized by any exist

toned by Congress. No other appointment
has been made not authorized by existing law,
and this is believed to be within the scope Of
authority for appointments in the War De-

DICK TURrIS REDIvIvUs.-The romantic days
of Dick Turpin, Claude Duyal and others of
that ilk are being revived on the Pacific coast,
and highway robbery is of frequent occur
renee. A few weeks since a stage was stopped
about one mile from Virginia City, Nevada,
according to the old rules of the road An
obstruction was placed on the highway, and
as the stage came up, the position received
orders to ''halt." He did so; a cooked mus
ket was pointed at his head; and others of the
gang made the passengers get out and stand in
a row on the wayside. Men kept guard over
lieved them of watches, money and other va
luables. The thieves got about fifteen thou
sand dollars in cash, besides six gold watches
and several diamond jewels. A lady in the
coach was not mOlested, for the leader of the
gang said he would 'scOrn to rob a woman -
Wells, Fargo Co.'s express was robbed the
bullion was thrown away but the coin was
appropriated.
After the rascaIs had got all that was to be
had, the stage was allowed to proceed on its
journey. One of the men robbed was Il BOs-
ton merchant, who was out in Nevada on
business. He will doubtless think it q rough
country. From various parts of the State,
too, we hear stories of men being robbed by
highwaymen. In the southern portion of the
State there have been gangs of these knights
OF the road roaming about, committing all
sorts of depredations. They defy the authori-
been stolen, they can swoop down on the
do what they wish, and get back
to their mountain retreats before the officers
can start after them. One of the most noto-
rious desperadOes that has been in this
State since the days of Joaquin-his name was
county. He was a bloody monster, and had
murdered great many men in California. A
sherff's posse caught him by strategy, and
him without any ceremony.

Is founded on medical experience, and declares
the probability to be in favor Of the prior
death OF the father, who, seized with horror at
the sight of his dying son, ruptured a vessel In
the act Of calling for help, and died suddenly,
while the younger patient, who had been ILL.,
was most likely, for some time, in the agonies
of death. The consequence was, a decision in
favor of the Legitimate child, who thus be-
comes fZst heir to the property, while the
widow Lefretre is compelled to accept the por-
tfon which the law allows her. The trial was
curious for the ingen1iV of argument dis
played by the lawyers on both sides, and for
the depth of reasoning exhibited by the learned
doctors. 1t will reckon among the remarkable
trials of the day, and serve as precedent to
other cases of the kind. The death Of the
mother and infant in child birth has often
given cause for inquiry of this nature, but
this is the first time that the case of father

being ready to go home before that time, con-

track of the o. & NJ. railroad, on the Sedams-

demanded his money. He made no reply, but

Arson AND ATTEMPT TO KILL, IN SOUTH
AMProN CoUNTY.-Last Thursday night there
was a daring attempt to kill Mr.. Edward
Cloyd, 4 respectable citizen, residing in the
vicinity of Branchville. Some unknown per
sons went to his house in the night, during his
absence, and set fire to his stable 1t was soon
discovered by the servants on the premises,
one of whom ran out in order to put out the
fire and save the building. He was fired on,
and deemed it prudent to return to his quar-
tiers: Another then went out, and he was also
fired OH by the depredators. Neither, however,
sustained any injury, the balls having missed
their marks. It lis surmised by the neighbors
that it was the intention of the desperadoes to
kill Mr.. Cloyd. Both of his horses were lost.
We advise the citizens of Southampton to
hold public meeting, and send a committee
to Richmond, to Governor PeirpOint, and re-
quest that they be permitted to raise a COM
pany of one hundred men, or more if neces
sary, for the purpose of protecting themselves
against repetition of such 'ontrages -Noy-
