A Sad Story from tho sou.n

The Monroe Q.a9 Telegraph, of recent dale has
the following:
"A couple of gentlemen living on Bout river were
mounted, and, hitching their horses. lay down to
steep near an old tree on fire. Eight days aztec this
a neighbor was hunting in the vicinity. when. at
tFacted by the barking of his dog which would come
to no calls, he went to the spot where the men lay
down. and found that the tree had fallen across the
"Ono of the horses had broken loose the other was
still standing where. eight days before, he had been
tied. One of the gentlemen, Mr.. Day, leaves a
wife and six children in distressed circumstances.
The wifes history has been sad one. The cOnscript
authorities, always too loose or too rigid dragged
her first husband from home, and sent him to Shrevo-
port in car.
His wife followed just in time to SEQ him con-
scripted by death. She returned home, and in about
a week had her house and everything she possessed
but wheel, saddle and pair of cards, burned up
After frequent opportunities she married Mr. Day,
who was widOwer with three children. which
added to her own, made six. This helpless charge is
now left upon her hands,

:. OUTRAGEs IN MISSISSIPPI An unofficial
communication received by General @. O!
How ard from a late officer in the United
States army, who has purchased 4 .panta-..
tion in Mississippi, shows q condition of
affairs IN that section discouraging to
Northern men. The writer says that he
and number of other NortheraT men .en-
gagged in the planting business, with the
implied understanding that the Government
would protect them from the insults and
depredatiohs Of those who are now, as in
the past, their unrelenting foes. Tho OUT
RACES of this lawless class of rebels arc
not confined to Yankees" but extend to
all Southern men who have accepted the
situation. and who are endeavoring tore
tricve their fallen fortunes by close atten.
ton to business. 1t appears that, there is
an organized band of men in that section
who have undertaken to run out Of the
country all settlers and others who do: not
join with them in reviling the national
Government. Freedmen employed on the
plantations are attacked and often mpr-
dered; horses, mules, and other property
are stolen, and other outrsges committed:
70 Within the past month Eve freedmen were
waylaid and murdered, and so great is the
alarm and CONSERVATION among the colored
people, that they refuse to 60 to the plan
tations to labor. The better part Of the
community, who condemn such proceedings
are unable to take any preventive meas
ures, as the desperadoes are in the majori-
IT,. 1t is represented that military forces
should be stationed in various sections of
the State, asthey would undoubtedly exer-
else an excellent conservative influence in
the, way, Of preventing the commission Of
such deeds Washington Chronie1e z

[ss-On Friday, the % ult.. in & Memphis,
Tennessee, two boys, one only fifteen and
another only seventeen years, becoming
enraged at each other, determined to settle
their quarrel by resort to arms. About
nine O'clock in the evening they proceeded
with their weapons and friends to grounds
selected outside of the city limits. The
older enc, who vas the challenged party,
and furnished the pistols, had the good
sense to load them with wads of cotton, in
stead of balls, and accordingly faced his
antagonist with perfect sang .tro;d The
younger was dissatisfied with the effect Of
the cotton, and wanted to fight it out,with
knives. The company, however, would
not allow the, affair to be carried on any
further. T''5" 5.z%" g
