ISOLATION.

There is band of robbers on the
line of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad who have been perpetrating
the most daring robberies lately
robbing at one tine pay train, next
a depot, and on Thursday morning
last, throwing the regular passenger
train off the track near Franklin, to
the imminent danger of the lives of
all on board, setting fire to the train,
rifing the baggage, and robbing the
passengers. Another attempt WIS
made on Saturday night to throw
the Nashville bound train from
Louisville off the track at about the
same locality. Rails had been piled
on The track, apparently by lnexpe-
rienced operators. The locomotive
dashed through and over the OBJ
structions without damage. The
com pany offer the muni6cent reward
of $4,000 for the arrest of the
wretches who threw off and robbed
the train near Franklin. or Sl,oOO
for the arrest aud conviction OF each
one of the parties engaged. This

Fhr The Citizen.
NJ. Editor: wish to call the atten-
ton of the farmers to the Importance
Of cautioning their laborcrs about
making and dropping fire over their
plantations. This year there is an
unusual amount Of Cry glass and
other light, cOmbustiblc matter over
the farms, aud one coal of fire acct
dentally dropped, or one fire care
lessly made, may deStroy-there is
no telling what amount Of property.
If every farmer could have just one
such fire as | had on my plantation
last fall, they would see the import
ance of being very careful. L came
near losing every building and fence
on my place, by one of my neighbours
little negroes carelessly dropping a
coal of fire in the leaves.
A word to the wise is sufficient.

Mr.. Hogan, member of Con-

"The people of Pennsylvania

souri, for a little while. There
two-thirds of the white population
of the State were DISTINGUISHED by
"a tyrannical legislature, and nc
one could preach, practice law, OF
hold any public office unless he
take eighty-two oaths, each one as
long as his arm. Ministers OF the
gospel have been dragged from the

they had not taken the oath, ano
Sisters of Mercy have been drag
ged from their converts and cas-
into dungeons because they, too
had not subscribed to the Radica

negroes to be voters must be own

The Newcastle, Penn, Gazette
contains an account of most ter
rible and revolving murder which
was perpetrated in Lawrence coun.
ty in that State. A man named
Carpenter was actually kicked to
death by his wife. Attic coroner's
inquest testimony was taken prov
ing that the woman was in the habit
of kicking and beating Carpenter
in the most unmercitul manner,
and at various places, and always
when kicking him aiming at the
lower part of his bowels. Car

never resisted, but in the language
of one OF the witnesses, Gust stood

Why Southern Crops are
Short.
Short.

A South Carolina correspondent
of the New York Times explains
the cause OF short crops In the
South in this way:
In regard to the hour of labor,
the reconstructed freedmen wanted
a decided improvement upon the
eight hour system for which the
working men of the North are
Iclamoring. They were willing
enough to take their places in the
field at sunrise, as formerly; but
they absolutely refused to remain
! at work later than eleven o'clock
! in the morning, at which time
they would complain that the sun
was getting too hot for them to
work, and Systematically drop off
to their quarters. Besides this.
none of them could be induced,
under any circumstances, to work
on Saturdays, and not few took
holiday on Friday also. The
male field hands at first would not
allow their wives to work, but at
ter few months their uxorious
gallantry gave way to the hard
argument of necessity, when they
! found that their own earnings
were inadequate to the support OF
their families.
Another great drawback to the
deficiency of the hands was their
unwilllngness to work the planta-
ton as whole, as they used to un-
der the old system. Then each
gang of hands, whether the
gang consisted of fifteen hands or
twenty, attended to the culture OF
a fixed portion of the plantation
every day. Now, each hand In
sists upon having his allotted sec
Ition, which he cultivates more OF
less indefinitely; and thus if a
hand happens to be sick or absent
from any cause, his task is coolly
left unperformed,,..by his fellow-la-
Iborers, and Of course the neglect
led section suffers. There are 9th
Ter habits and peculiarities which
the Sea Island negroes have &C
quired since emancipation, less
lhurtful than those have enumer
Iated. but more ridiculous.
