RS Mr.. John G. Brahan, of Pamela
county, writing to the Star, denies,
from his own experience, that the dts
ease among mules and horses arises
from the use of imported corn. He
says:
The disease which prevailed with
us, was caused by no fault or neglect
of ours We knew not from whence
it came. 1t must have originated with
us, and without any apparent cause
1t is evidently contageous-and has
gone through the almost entire lot of
work horses and mules-exhibits
none Of the symptoms of CHAMBERS, but
is an erysipelas, or something OF. a
like nature, is rapid in its course.
Some of our stock died before we
were aware of anything being the
matter Those put up and fed at
night, in apparent good health, were
sometimes found dead next morning.
Others died in ten or twelve hours,
whilst some fingered days before they
died, and a few got well. They were
usually taken with a swelling on the
front part of their necks or breasts,
sometimes on ribs or sides, and some
times under their bodies, attended
with stiffness and great Discrimination
to move The remedy most success
full with US, was to battle the affected
part freely with turpentine, and apply
blazing torch. Repeat the remedy
again and again, until blister is pro
duced if possible, sometimes we
found it impossible to raise blster) },
which usually reduced the swelling in
a few hours, and relieved the animal
of an obstinate stiffness. That we
found to be the best course to pursue,
but we lost many valuable animals in
spite of all we could do. We saved
some half that were attacked
with it. l am not through with it
yet; lost one yesterday, in spite of
turpentine and fire.

The RAILROAD ALL RIGHT.-We are
gratifed to learn that the numerous
breaks in the Mississippi Central Rail
road are repaired, and the trains are
running their regular through trips
We admire the energy the officers have
displayed in repairing this road, as ii
speaks well for its future success.
The termination of the war left our
railroads in such condition that it
will take time to place things in the
situation they were previous to the
war, but with energy and perseverance
the day will not be far distant when
the Mississippi Central will be running
with the same "clock-work time" and
efficiency that it was before 1861

The FREEDMEN's BuREAU-The
evil tendencies Of the teachings of
men who were once connected with
the Freedmen's Bureau are being felt
in every section of Mississippi. These
men, although not now connected with
the Bureau, believe that they are the
proper guardians of the negro, and
many ofthem are doing all they can to
render the freedmen dissatisfied with
the condition of affairs There is a
limit to this interference. and we do
assure these gentlemen, although we
look upon the negro as infinitely their
superior in everything that constitutes
the gentleman, that the day of reck-
oning is nearer at hand than they
dream of, and if they do not cease
their interference in contracts between
parties honestly entered into, that the
laws will be rigidly enforced against
them.-Holly Springs Reporter.

DEATH OF DR. f. d. FENNER.-
Many old Mississippi friends of DIR.
Fenner will be panied, with us, at
learning of his death, which is thus
announced in the New Orleans Ores
cent of Saturday:
DR.. Earasmus D. Fenner died yes
terday morning of typhoid fever, after
a brief but severe illness. His med
ical brethren, and his numerous
friends, gave him every attention, and
watched his illness with the most
anxious and affiectionate solicitude;
but the decree had gone forth, and
this most estimable gentleman, en-
inent physician, and spirited
citizen was taken from US at a time
when we hoped he had some years of
usefulness before him. DIR. Fenner
was, we believe, native of Jackson,
Tenn. He practiced his profession
in Mississippi for awhile but removed
to this city more than quarter of a
century ago: and since that time all
his interests, personal and profession
al, have been identified with us. New
Orleans had no better citizen, or one
that regarded her with truer affec-
ton, than DR.. Fenner. Of his pro
fessional career we do not feel our
selves competent to write-his med
ical breth rem will take care that his
memory in that respect be duly hon
ored We only know that as the
founder of the New Orleans School of
Medicine, he succeeded in building up
an institution of learning here, to
which he was supremely devoted, and
which, though interrupted by the war,
was again challenging the public ia
vor, and becoming an important adj
dition to the medical schools of the
South DIR. Fenner was also a la
borious worker with his pen, and his
contributions to medical literature, in
the shape of books, essays and reports
are to be found, and are highly es-
teemed in many of the medical libra
ries, not of the South only, but of the
whole country. AS a man, the nu-
merous friends he had and the mour-
ners who will to-day follow him to
the grave will best attest his worth.
He combined industry and enthusiasm
with prudence, and won his way to
professional and personal eminence
not less by his sterling qualities and
fine intelligence than by a graceful SUI
avity and courtesy of manner, that
made him friends among all classes
and conditions of people. Many of
our people will feel, as we do, that
his death is personal bereavement
and there will be no tribute of respect
to his memory that will not find an
echo in the hearts of the people OF
| New Orleans.

EEThe Grenada Gazettee gives the
following account of the recent muir
der at that place:
While Mr.. Woodruff merchant of
this place, and Lieut.. Blanding, Adju-
tant of the Freedmen's Bureau here,
were walking the streets last Monday
night about s o'clock, the latter was
shot three times, successively-in the
back Of the head, body and leg, by
some unknown person. He was car
ried to the Collins House, when Drs.
Gage and McAfee gave him all the
medical aid possible But all to no
purpose, he expired the next day
about ten o'clock.
The citizens, in a public meeting
denounced the accident and demanded
of the town authorities the appoint
ment of a police force sufficient to
maintain order and security.

The Holly Springs Reporter of the
4th says; We have conversed with a
number of farmers this week, and are
gratified to learn that the cotton is ND
generally, with as good OF, better stand
than usual Aeonsiderable amount of
the cotton crop is yet to be planted, and
the weather fofthe last few days has
been quite unfavorable.z If the sea-
sons are favorable, and the freedmen
work faithfully for the next three
months, we may expect Marshall coun-
ty to raise twelve or fifteen thousand
bales1-about one fourth Of an average
crop-not more The corn crop looks
well. The wheat as far as we can
learn, looks wen, and bids fair to yield
an average crop.

The Mississippi Baptist state COnven

Mr.. EDITOR Will you allow me
to say through the medium of your
columns, that the approaching Ami
versary Of the Baptist State Conven-
ton of the State of Mississippi, will
be one Of unusual interest and impOr-
lance. Its meeting is appointed to be
held on the 31st inst, in the city of
Jackson. We are assured that ample
arrangements will be made by the
citizens of Jackson for the accommo-
dation of the members of the Conven-
ton. Among the interests to be pro
NOTED by the Convention, at its APP
preaching Anniversary, are the fol
lowing, namely: The Mississippi
College; the Bible and Colporteur
work: the work of State Missions
and especially the Orphans Home OF
the State of Mississippi. 1t is sin
cerely hoped that a very large atten-
dance will be secured at the meeting
of the Convention. No ordinary
Governments should deter the breth-
rem from attending the meeting; and
/ trust it will be glorious reunion,
after so long an interruption of in
tercOurse by the circumstances of the
late terrible war.
Yours, very respectfully and truly,

~"Fejees' and ''Hyenas' are the
euphonious names of the opposing par
ties in Choctaw county, the former
being opposed to the collection of
debts, and the latter in favor of adj
herring to the law. The Feejees claim
the victory at the late special election,
their candidate, Mr.. Carleton Lindsey,
having been reelected by 361 major
ity, and Mr. r. H. Morehead re-elect-
ed Circuit Clerk by 81. The Hyenas,
however, deny that this election is a
test, many of them having voted for
the successful candidates, from the
belief that they were actuated by wor-
thy motives in resigning. The Hy-
anas elected their candidate for As
SCISSOR, Mr.. John S. Holloway, by 100

Gy The most ridiculous piece of
sycophancy ever exhibited by public
body, would seem to be the action of
the Rump House of Representatives
at Washington in rendering their con-
gratulations to the Car on his escape
from assassination. There is no Off
cial communication between the House
and the Autocrat or any other foreign
power They are not known outside
Of their own chamber, and if they had
any sense of the prophecies they
would know that this proceeding of
theirs was simply an impertinence.

H-A correspondent of the Panels

HA correspondent of the Pamela
Star says
have in my employ this year, two
up-country gentlemen of African de-
scent, from Brown county Ohio, who
boast that they we're born of free pa
rents themselves, and do not owe
their freedom to any accident that
may have befallen the late Confede-
racy. / will venture the assertion
that they are two of the most lazy,
slow motioned and worthless negroes
in the State-in the prime of life too.
They can't pass muster with my old
servants, many of whom are with me
yet, and if any gentleman in Brown
county-feeling aggrieyed at the loss
of their labor-will come forward,
prove property and pay charges, he
can take them away. They are, in my
opinion, fit for nothing, unless it
would be to bait wolf-trap with, and
have no authority from the bureau
to use them in such way,
