 EzT We are permitted to extract from ia private letter to friend here, from above Swan Lake, as follows: s@
 "A few days ago, pr. Brunson, liv- ing few miles from the line of this and Jefferson county, while in the field, had some altercation with freedman, who drew his pistol upon him, when he, the Dr., shot the top of the negro's head off with shot gun, killing him instantly. Whereupon, the negroes arrested the Dr.. and after abusing him considerably, tied him to the back of the dead negro and kept him there in the hot sun the whole day, and would have put him to death, had not an old, former servant of the Dr's. got hold of the gun and prevented it. Late in the evening the Freedman's Bureau get ting notice of what was going. on, took the Doctor to Pine Bluf, and deliver ed him over to the local authorities De Witt Hector.

Ex-Gov. GRAHAM, or N. C.-Hon. Vim. A. Graham of North Carolina, in a letter to resident of Van Buren, Ark, writes as follows respecting the political situation of the South:
 1 The situation of the States of the South, to which you allnde, is indeed melancholy. We are realizing the truth of the declaration of Mir. Fox, that .'the most dangerous of all revo- llutions is a restoration The idea is distraining the States by military domi- nation, into the adoption of constitu- lions for local governments, with the right of suffrage extended to. negroes, without any qualification except being of male sex and over twenty-one years of age, and by the Howard amendment to the Constitution of the United States, at the same time disiranciising all men of experience and influence among us, is the most solemn farce that has been enacted in all history. It is to roll back the tide of civilization two centuries at least, and place the ballot in the hands of constituency less qualified for tho office of government than has ever before exercised it in any republican country. The Board of Registers of votes has just been an nounced here, and ineluds one negro to two white men through the State. When the whole series of steps in the process of reconstruction" as it is called, shall have been fully contem- plated, I think tho people, whenever they constitute najoritics, will find it to their interest to vote against con- ventions for the objects in view, and bear with the reign of military gov ernment until another appeal can be made to public opinion of the North, and especially in the Northwest.

 Knowing that any tidings of Kentucky y's noble son, General John c.

" II o., who was a surgeon in General E. < division during the war, and gathered these facts. Dr. c. is just from Paris, where he.freqaentiy saw General Berekiu- ridge, ue met with his lady at the Grand Hotel. where le hadlan opportunity of seeing the respect and edeference shown him by all Americans there.
 General B. was handsomely dressed "looked splendidly,' and was in fine health. He is residing, with his interest ing family, in the Champs Elysees, about one milo from the palace of the Emperor, and near the Grand Royal arch.
 To the inquiry addressed General 5. by our friend as to his desire in reference tc an early return to the United States, thi. was the response: T trust the day is not far distant when the political condition oi the United States will encourage me t return there l am hopeful of the future and favor any plans of reconstruction that will bring about pormoaeat peace and harmony among the entire people,
 He seemed very cheerful and happy and spoke gratefully of the affection ex- hibited toward him by the Americans whc visit Europe, e
 He stated tha. he was most comforabls situated in every respect; and with Iii. family around him, all in health he was content. 2H

Who Can Turnish An Answer 2

 Times atGl aan ,haa nab Q Dear Sr:-I have an inquiry to propose to the planters and scientific men of our country, to which l have for many years been endeavoring to obtain satisfactory answer. IL is simply this:
 l Cannot Sweet Potatoes, which our soil and climate are so wonderfully adapted to produce, be cut up into slices, say an inch thick, and dried and So dried. that they may be made, in that condition, an article of merchandise Apples, poachess toma- toes, and many other fruits and vegetables, are dried and prepared for shipment, and are valuable crops If sweet potatoes can be So dried, as to preserve the saccharine matter they contain, and then cooked and made an articles of food of fair quality, if not near as agreeable as the undried-root in it's best condition for use, they. would pay as handsomely as any product of Southern soil. l A steam tight house, in which 2,59O bushels of potatoes might be driel at once, could be put up in q given nelghbor- hood, and the prepared potatoes dried for toll, as corn s ground at mill And q simple apparatus could be constructed by which the potatoes could be cut up with the greatest speed desirable.
 i Il may also De borne in mind, flat the places where these esculcnts grow in the greatest abuudancs, are generally remote { from the Lest modes of transportation, the soils poor for other growths, and the peo l pie generally poor In such districts the 1 potato Is raised, and could be raised at So small a cost as to admit of the use of sugar in the drying and curing process, and i possibly produce. 2 good and valuable article Of vegetable food for all seasons, and capable of transportation to all parts of tue world.
 Ii this ean be successfully accomplished, the sweet potato crop the South might become as valuable IS one hali her cotton crop formerly was.
 1 Some scientific man might turn his ] inventive genius in this direction, and 1 produce results more remuneratise than arc uine hundred of any thousand of the l patisnt.fights issued from the patent office { yearly. 1 "Who can furnish an answer?' Respectfully.

CoTToN.--Reports from the cotton crop still continue to come in unfavor- able. ln some portions of Louisiana the ravages of the worm have been very destructive, and in some cases whole plantations have been. dcstroyed,s gen- doring abortive every effort to get rid of them, except iu some .instances where every haud on the plantation was turned out in battle array 10 aes complish their destruction. Tie newa from Texas is more favorable, especial iy in the nplands. Iii the counties along the coasts the worm has done great damage. They appear to confine themselves to those farms in the low lands bordering on large streams. Alabama appears to be the only State in which the people are enthusiastic over the prospect of g good crop. Tn our own State there appears to be very little change, though the prospects Of good crop is not very fattering.- Camden Herald.

 ssS~ The New York Herald charges against the secretary of the treasury the grosscst mismanagemcnt of the na- tional finances, and that the frauds on the government reach tho enormous amount of one hundred and fifty 10 two hundred millions of dollars yearl The calculation is that whisky alone should yield one hundred and twenty millions, and.is actually yielding only thirty y-seven millions. The loss from frauds is petroleum, tobacco and other articles is supposed to be fifty millions more. And to all this is to be added twenty millions year on the circula- tion given to the national banks, with many other large leakages, amounting in all to two hundred millions of dol- lars.

s9-A A Washington letter says, an of ficer of Gen. Grants staff relates con versation he had with the general a few days ago, wherein the general re- marked, concerning the talk of making him president, that he would not be president of the United States if an opportunity was offered. that lie was no politician that he hated politics i; that so far as reputation aud honor were concerned, that he ought 10 be satisfied with what Of thesedie has al- ready enjoyed: that holding the office of president would mar his present comfort and drag him into the storms and excitementpf politics that, as the general of the army, he had all the work he could do, and time enough to enjoy the comforts of his family and home; and, that he, as soldier had gained friends enough in the country, without now seeking a place where he should gain no more, but. probably, lose those whom he had gained.

Too Muob Readinr.

T never knew but one or two fast readers, and readers of many books, whose knowledge was worth anything. Miss Wartineau says of herself that she is the slowest of readers-sometimc page in an hour; but then, what she reads she makes her own. Do impress this on F--. Girls read too much, and think too little. I will answer for it that there are few girls of eighteen who have not read more books than I have and as to religious books, I can count on my fingers in two minutes all I have read, but then, they. are mine. Sir Erskinc Perry said the other day, that fortnight ago, in conversation with Comte, one. of the profoundcst thinkers in Europe, Comte told him that he had read an incredibly small number of books these last twenty years; l forget how many, and scarce iy a review. But then what Comte reads lies there fructifying and comes out living tree with leaves and fruit.

It is reported that great excitement has arisen in Troy over tho discovery of q chemical laboratory Or thSdistil- iaiion ofessential oils for tue manufac- ture of liquors, The discovery of the place grew out of the fact that it emit ted q flavor of. such significant odor and marvellous power as to induce 2 sense of intoXication among all the tue people Of the neighborhooi. staitl and sober men, who had all their lives been absternions 10 the severest degree, suddenly aud unGoDsciously found themselves reeling under. the stagger- ing influence ofthe sureharged atmos- phere.
