SAVAGE FIGHT ~ A SCHOOL-Capt.
Clifford, formerly OF the l-th Kentucky
volunteers, but better known IS the
Bloody lstE,' has Tor several months
past been the teacher of a very large
school two miles south Of Marion, Ky.
Everything was progressing finely until
last Friday, between the hours of 8 and
4 O'Clock p. n, when the professor no.
ticed a disturbance, and, on investigating
il, found IL necessary TO mtl,ct a punish
ment on some one OF his pupils, and
while engaged in this, other scholars
interfered in behalf OF the pupil,
whilst the other part acted in be-
. half Of the professor, and a gen
eral fight eusUed. There were about
sixty boys IN school at the time,
and they were about equally divided foT
and against the professor. Some half a
dozen boys managed to get the professor
in an adjoining room, and We're about to
use the old fellow up, when about twenty
of the boys, headed by the gallant Lieut..
Woodsides, formerly Of the same regi-
ment, came 70 his rescue. II Is 10 be Ia
mented that this young officer, whilst
leading the boys 10 justice, received 8
mortal wound from s pistol shot.

from a knife, and was also beaten severe

We are permitted, says the Nashville
Gazette, to publish the following extracts
from a letter written by Gen. Sterling
Price, to a friend in this country:
CoRDovA, MEXICO, Jan. Is, 1866.
Judge Perkins, Gov. Harris, Col. Paw
neel White and his family, the Episcopal
Minister, Mr.. Holman and his family,
myself and others, are now living in our
new town, Charlotte. The Americans,
that were in Monterey and San Louis
PotOsi, are now On their way hither, as
we learn from Capt. NJ. +. Maury. Sew
erai L~Ouisianians have lately arrived here
in search Of new homes for themselves
and families. They have thought best to
purchase improved lands from private in
dividuals, and have done so, payingdown
five thousand dollars in cash, and getting
as much time as they desired for the de-
ferred payments. They have now re-
turned to the United States for their
families.
IL the immigration from the States
shall be as great as [ anticipate, property
Of every kind will greatly increase in
value, and 1 therefore think that those
who have made up their minds to come
10 Mexico, should do so at once. The
inducements 10 mechanics to come here
are very great. While the native labOreT
can be hired at fifty cents a day, out OF
which he finds himself, mechanics earn
excellent wages. For instance, the rail
road company offer TO contract for brick
at twenty-five dollars a thousand, and
! lime at one dollar and a quarter per hun
! dred, and the country abOunds in timber
and in limestone OF an excellent quality;
a wheelright or a tanner would make a
fortune very soon.
