were the most sanguine, a short time ago,
that we were going to have two and half
million bales, are now probably satisfied
to reduce their estimate nearly one-half.
Trouble is brewing in Florida, growing out
of the tax sales of the Federal tax commits
sioners, and the President has sent a special
agent to make inquiries. The grossest frauds
have been practiscd on the land owners, valu-
able property having been disposed Of for the
most pretty sums. The new York Herald's
correspondent says, that in consequence,
"much ill-feeling naturally prevails between
the Northern purchasers and the Southern
former owners. Unscrupuloas men from the
North have taken advantage of this excited
state of the public mind to urge the negroes
to arm against the did rebels, who, they tell
them, are going to turn them out Of their
little lands am assured on authority can
hardly doubt, that the negroes, thus melted,
hold meetings for drill and are armed with
muskets to the number of several hundreds.
An accident, or an .injudicious act, may bring
about serious outbreak. 80. -,

Horrible Tragedy in Mississippi


A Jackson, Miss, correspondent of the
Chicago Republican says that an investi.
CATION by Maj. General Wood developed
the following startling facts relative 10 a
barbarous outrage perpetrated upon some
colored people in Carroll county, Miss
The details are taken from the official re-
port i:
A number of colored families were &C.
cupying several buildings at Shanealo, for
which they had paid rent from time to
time. The owner of the building was well
pleased with his tenants, and nothing
could be alleged against them, except that
they were free niger and living alone. ,
This simple fact seemed to stir the pride
OF certain slaveocrats and liberty haters.
They threatened the negroes with burning
out, and on one occasion white men gath
cred around the buildings and endeavored
by firing guns and. revolvers TO brighten
them away. These menaces and threats
were unavailing. The negroes still re-
manned.
On the evening of the 18th of Novem-
Der they had quilting party, followed by
a dancing party. About ten or eleven
O'Clock, while all were enjoying themselves
very pleasantly, about twenty white men
suddenly surrounded the buildings and Sc,
them on fire, and refused egress 10 all in
mates. Shots were fred into the burning
buildings. Great CONSERVATION prevailed
1t is not known that any failed to escape
from the buildings, mostly by breaking
through the windows. Notwithstanding
so terrible fright and excitement, somt
had presence of mind enough to endeavol
TO save some bundles of clothing or prop
erty. These were seized by the whit.
men, and throws. back into the fiames.-
One man. in escaping, called to woman
! saying, Follow me. there is no DANCE
I this way you, III show you whethe
| there's danger, said white man.
He shot. The negro FELL His dead o.
wounded body was thrown into the flames
To further show the desperate and petit,
malignify of these incarnate fiends, the
!, ught and burned the poultry OF thes
! poor people and shot their fat hogs in th,
pen. Without shelter, without food, with
| out clothing, except what was on their per
sons, they took refuge in an old abandon
ed church. This, too, was burned. Be
ing fully possessed of the Devil, to com
) piete their ubiquitous carnival, they caugh
an unoffending and favorite servant DO,
and cut his throat, with intent TO kill
But, as if to be a living monument Of tres,
!, internal deeds, he still survives, and hi
ghaslly wounds are slowly healing"
/ A coroner'sjury summoned by the civi
authorities could neither distinguish the
age, race or.sex of the man burned
and decided that he came TO his deati
from some cause unknown" Fiv,
white men. supposed to be actors in thi
drama Of bloodshed and arson, were or
trial before magistrate for part of tw'
days and acquitted. The sentiment of th,
community upholds the crime.

A VERMoNTER IN ILLINoIs.-We find
the following interesting account of Yer
monter, who was among the first settlers
of Quincy Illinois, in the " American
Home Miscellany"
Deacon Willard Reyes of the First
Congregational church, Of Quincy, Illinois,
one Of the first two settlers, left his native
town, Newfane, Vermont, in 1917, on foot,
to seek his fortunes in the West. The
manuscript journal he kept is still in ex-
is,ence and is curiosity. In reading it,
one seems to be carried back centuries.
Few things SO impress one with the pro-
gress of events in the last half century.
He came by the way Of Albany as far as
central New York, and there met many
persons returning from the west, who re-
ported that, the great hive Of nations,
New England, had sent cut SO many emil
grants westward, that the country was
over stocked, and there were no more good
places left" Nevertheless, he determined
to push on and join company bound for
the Mississippi River. They went through
Canada, took boats, and coasted around the
Northern shore Of Lake Huron, crossed to
Mackinaw, up the Fox River, and down
the Wisconsin to Praire du Chen, then
estimated to be a thousand miles from
Vermont. The distance was computed by
the meanderings of the lake shore and the
windings of the river. The time occupied
in this journey was three months. Now a
man can travel from Prairie du Chen in
less than three kays-After two years.
Mr.. Reyes decended the Mississippi; on a
raft, Of his own construction, and year or
two after settled at Quincy. His compan-
ion was John Wood, recently Lieutenant
Governor of Illinois. Both are still living
there, in green old age. Deacon Keyes'
name will be perpetuated in Keyes Hall
of the Chicago Theological Seminary,
erected in part by his donations"

which he said he would carry to police
Headquarters. The person apprehended
proved to be the porter of the Green.
witch Savings Bank, who, when arrested,
had been in the discharge Of his legiti-
mate duty, and the individual who had
taken charge of the cash box, which con-
tanned three thousand dollars, was an i'm
poster, who had devised this ingenious
plan to get possession of the money. The
rogue has not yet been arrested.
