B@- A powerful rebellion has broken out
in Abyssinia, against the Emperor Theodore
1t is led by negro, who claims, like TheO'
dore, to be a descendant Of Solomon, and OF
the ancient kings of Ethiopia. All the ele-
ments of discomfort 10 the empire have made
common cause with him. The prince Of Co.
jam, the party of 0ublie and the clergy, en-
ragged at the emperor's treatment Of their
patriarch, are all on his side. All OF Shoa
and large part of Tigre are in his bands,
and the communications of Theodore with
the Red sea are entirely cut of. There u.s.
however, no reason to doubt that the emPer-
or will put down this iusurrection as he has
put down its numerous predecessors. An
awful amount Of bloodshed is to be expected
in the course Of his vengeance upon the in
surgents. -T

The GREAT SourHrRN GIFT SroRE-We
would again call attention to the Great
Southern Gift Store of Mr.. J. D. Bond, on
the west side of the square. Mr.. Bond has II
fine stock of fancy goods, and has the sagac-
ity to let the public know it, He has secured
the services of Mr.. Walter Colquhoun of
"Mocking bird " notoriety, which is of itself
a considerable "draw" upon the young ladies.
With such An assistant and being himself
very polite and accommodating, we predict

ATTEMPT TO AssAssINATE.-We were
shocked to hear that night before last Mr..
VIM. johnson of the Police was waylaid
and fred at near the jail, by some un.
known would-5e murderer. He was
wounded in the side, painfully, but we
are glad to hear, not MORALLY. He re-
turned the fire and the villain took to his
heels. Suspicion rests upon certain par
ties, who are supposed to harbor i'll will
against Mr.. johnson for his official acts.
We trust the matter will be ferreted out
and the miscreant brought to justice.

Esys In conversation with an intelligent
old farmer the other day, he remarked that
there existed general indisposition among
the freedwomen on his and neighboring
plantations, to do any kind of field or other
outdoor labor. lie thinks that they have
conceived high and sudden notion of female
dgnity, imagining it their province, like
white women, to sit in the house and engage
in light employment. Whenever he speaks
70 the men about their wives, they answer
that their better halves are not able to work
they are sick or something to that effect.
The old gentemau's cummings up of the
situation in bis section seems to be this, that
the men, in aggregate, perform about half
their former task, and the women not worth
a copper.-Columbus Index.
The above reminds US of a remark made by
lady few days since: "That the negresses
were termed ladies, and white ladies were
called women by the freed population" So
much for yankee innovation.

to call together National Congress on the
arplest and most liberal basis, in which all
parties are to participate, and this will deter

and on its being so decided, to aid 10 the for
nation of laws virtually necessary for the con
solidaton OF the public institutions Of the
country. To this end our council are now oc-
cuped in submitting TO US proper measures
at the same time in order that all parties may
assist in coming to an arrangement on that
basis. In the meantime, Mexcans, rel wing on
