OF meeting our excellent friend, Col. Geo.
Pendleton, the distinguished railroad king
and Superintendent of the famous Belle
fontaine Cotton Express, who arrived in
the city on Saturday night, and were glad
to see him looking extremely well. He
thinks the stagnation in the cotton trade
is about over, and that that great staple
will soon again be seen pushing its way
East over the unrfvalled Bel1efontaine line.

A German whose name we have not learn
ed-who has wife and family in Cincin-
nati-was in Memphis during the recent
riots, and was SO terrified by the excite
ment that he became partly deranged. He
came up on the Minneola, and frequently
gave evidences of the terror the riots had
inspired, by starting up and exclaiming,
g There they come, they will kill me sure.1
A friend watched and guarded him until on
Saturday night, the two went intoa state
| room, and after the German had laid
down his friend stepped out, when the
German at once locked the door on the
inside. His friend came back and tried in
| vain to get in, and was walking in the
cabin laughing at the occurrence when
suddenly the German rushed from the
room, passed out on the guards, and before
he could be prevented jumped overheard
and was drowned. This occurred just
