A few renegades who claim the
above title have issued call for
Southern Union Convention to be held
at Philadelphia in September. They
assert that under the doctrine of State
sovereignty with rebels in the fore
ground controlling Legislatures and
embittered by disappointment in their
schemes to destroy the Union there
will be no safety for the loyal ele-
ment of the South.
They rely on Congress and the
Radicals for protection and wish dele
gates sent in goodly numbers from all
the Southern States to meet at indie
pendence Hall in the city of Philadel-
phia, on the first Monday in Septem-
Der next. They propose to meet at
that time to recommend measures for
the establishment of such Governments
in the South as accord with and pro-
tect the rights Of all citizens,
The call is signed by Stokes and
Fowler, of Tennessee, Hamilton, of
Texas, and about twenty others, none
of whom are men of ability or posi-
ton at home, or who can be said In
any sense to be the representatives of
Southern sentiment. We are glad to
see there is no name from Mississippi
to the call.
This movement is got up by the
Radicals in their alarm at the Conven-
ton called by Doolittle and others, to
meet in August It will be composed
of the basest and most worthless of
the Southern population. Men who
are enemies to President johnson and
who stigmatize as rebels the truest and
most patriotic of their fellow citizens.
AS Southern Convention it will be a
miserable failure. Outside of Tennes-
see there is not a respectable minority
in any Southern State who will give it
the least countenance. The Philadel-
phia Convention of the 14th August
will correctly represent the great ma
jority of the Southern people. The
delegates will be loyal in the true ac-
ceptation of the word.
They are ready to give an honest
and Jealous support to the Govern
ment, to recognize in its fullest extent
the freedom Of the negro, and his
right undisturbed to the enjoyment
of "life liberty and property" But
the new test of loyalty is to support the
Constitutional amendments, proposed
to dishonor and degrade us by hostile
Congress in which we were denied
representation. Tried by this test we
are, and expect to be, disloydl. When
ever the voice of the people can be
heard, when it is not stifed by the
bayonet, it will protest in terms of in
dignation at such. oppression, and
prefer to forego representation than
obtain it at such sacrifice.

We are glad to see the Clarion and
Standard endorsing our call for d
State Convention for the purpose of
selecting delegates to represent Mis-
sissippi in the Convention of the
National Union party to assemble in
Philadelphia on the 14th of August
next
We find the above refreshingly cool
paragraph in the Mississippian of yes
terday. Our neighbor is so frantic to
be Endorsed that he overlooks the fact
that the first article, favoring the repre-
sentation of Mississippi at the Phila-
delphia Convention, published in the
State, appeared in the Clarion and
Standard. In our issue of the 28th of
June was concluded an article favor
ing the formation of National Union
party, as follows:
ain the South, almost without ex-
ception, the people earnestly and cor
daily desire to see johnson sustained
and his policy indicated by popular
approval. Why not then be repre-
scented in the National Convention
Senators Doolittle, Cowan, and all the
names appended to the call are nobly
struggling to stem the tide of Radical
ism that threatens to sweep away
every vestige of our rights, and it is
proper their efforts should receive our
sympathy and approval. What do
our brethren of the Mississippi Press
say to aConvention for the purpose
of sending delegates to represent the
State at Philadelphia p
On the Sd July, and after half the
newspaper press in the South had ex-
pressed themselves in favor of the
Convention, our contemporary wakes
up and says: 1--WE have consulted with
a number of gentlemen from various
portions of the State, and we find a
perfect coincidence of sentiment con-
corning the propriety and necessity of
the South responding favorably to the
call of the Democratic and Conserva-
tive members of Congress upon the
people of the States to assemble in
Convention at Philadelphia on the
14th August next, for the purpose of
combining the conservative element
North and South in support ofthe
policy advocated by President John
SON."
And now because we still favor the
Convention our modest neighbor is
glad that we iadorse his t'call," DC.
After this we would not be surprised
for him to claim that Doolittle, Cowan,
and the other members of the National
Union Club called the Convention at
his suggestion and for Reimbursement:

Messrs. Editors: The good order of
this quiet village was thrown into con-
fusion this morning, at an early hour,
BY one Of the darkest and most
brutal murders that has ever been
recorded. 1t appears from the test.
mony given in court, that Nathaniel
Z. Broughton and James Thomas were
butchers, and doing business together.
The pen they used was built in con-
junction. Thomas furnished one hun
dTed and seventy-fve of the rails
Not many days ago they had settle
ment and quit Thomas went and be-
gan to take away his portion of the
rails, which Broughton forbid. Late
yesterday evening Broughton borrow
ed pistol. Early this morning, a
short while before the dawn of day,
he called up:.a friend and told him he
would have to kill Thomas, and then
left and returned to his house, and
went to the pen short while after sun
rise, found Thomas getting his rails.
Thomas not ceasing to take them, as
Rroughton ordered, he (B. fired his
pistol, the ball passing through the
fleshy part of the right arm, entering
the side, and lodging near the left nip
| pie. He died in less than five minutes
in the arms of his wife, who happened
to be near him when the black hearted
deed was perpetrated. Broughton sur
rendered himself to Justice Gibbons,
hoping to be dealt with more leniently
by reason of his voluntary surrender.
Messrs. Ramsey d Jennings appeared
in defence in very able speeches, but
the case was SO plain that they had
nothing to go upon at all. Broughton
will go to Quitman Jail tomorrow to
await final trial
This place is improving still; several
new buildings now going up and others
under contract It is now getting
somewhat a pleasant stopping place |;
that is, if you go to the right Hotel.

prietor of the well known and popular
Home known as "The Jones House"

/ 1t was not my purpose to again
trouble the public with the difficulty
between Mr.. E. M. Yerger and myself.
But his Gard, as published in his paper
of yesterday, would seem to justify "a
few additional remarks" &att H
\ After my article of Friday morning,
it was presumed by those of my friends
who professed to understand "the
CODE" that he would, as the only reply
that could be made thereto, either send
me challenge, or initiate hostilities
on the street. He did neither; but,
after was arrested, and without either
a written or verbal notice of his pur-
pose, an irresponsible little boy was
employed to post placard. Upon
being informed that was "being post
cd by Yerger," 1 disregarded the ar
rest, proceeded with shot-gu to the
corner, where / supposed, of course,
that would find him standing by and
defending his poster but he failed to
make his appearance; and, it seems
from his own statement, that he was
concealed in the most ef1ectual man.
ner'-not SO much, I apprehend, to
"avoid the officers of the law" as to
evads a conflict which he would have
it believed, he was so anxious to meet.
He was informed by his friends that
/ was proceeding to the corner armed
as stated; he knew that was there,
and he might have heard me denounce
him as ] considered his conduct de.
served. Nor did he leave his hiding
place until I was forced back by my
friends and by the "officers of the Law"
He then, in double quick time, jumped
into Garage in waiting and went back
of the Hill, where he must have known
thatI could not reach him, re- arrested
and in actual custody as was. i new

not, however, upon the assurance that
he would pay my bond, for had that
