A Dark Picture.

The Daily Nashville Press and Times,
Of August I'd, has the following:-
"a gentleman who has just returned
from Holmes County, Mississippi. gives
dark picture OF the condition OF affairs
there. A former citizen OF the county re.
turned there TO get large quantity oi
cotton which he had stored away. He
found on inquiry that one Of the most re.
spectacle physicians and planters 10 ;he
neiyhborhood had con6scaied the larger
part Of it-because it was owned by a
Yankee, :hhat is. o Union man. An ar.
rest and confinement 10 prison by the
military authorities soon made the tb:ei
disgorge part Of his stolen property. He
still lies in Jail. The rest OF The cotton,
some 10000 bales, was burned by The
citizens as soon as they learned that the
owner had come for it. The people there
are more violently rebellious than ever.
They take the amnesty oath, and then
curse the Unionisis and the Government t
more furiously than ever. 1t is a com.
mon thing to hear them remark: well,
have you taken the oath?' Yes, and |
am bigger rebel by a long ways than |
ever was.' A merchant recently took GU,
over $4,000 worth Of goods 70 one OF
the adjoining counties. He had hardly
opened his go"ds when he was visited by
small party ofci;izens disguised. some
OF whom he recognized as bis neighbors,
who robbed him Of every dollars worth
OF goods. The poor merchant wen, to
the nearest post and procured a guard Of
iorty soldiers, TO arrest the guerrillas -
Tho rebel citizens rallied. to tho number
OF over one hundred. bushwhacked our
soldiers and forced them TO- retreat The
bushwhackers then arrested the merchant,
stripped him Of his boots and hat, watch,
and $500 in money, and then fred ff..
teen bullets through his body. aid left
him mangled. hiteous corpse. We ap.
.prehend tnat something ssverer than an
amnesty oath or franchise act is needed
to,pnnish a population SO barbarous and
bitterly disloyal as those Mississippi out.

we're subsequently, picked up by the boats
OF the Meteor. Az there were two or three

BILE that q few of those now numbered
