From Memphis.

MEMPHIS September IL, noon.-Some time
since the office of the Eagle newspaper at
Camden, Arkansas, was destroyed by soldiers
led by Major Pierce. Col. Gilbert, commsnd
ing, wrote Gen. Ord, in which he said that
the ccnsures Of the press directed agains' the
servants Of the people may be endured but
Generals Ord and Neil's forces were detailed
to enable them to perform their dutics-they
were not servants Of the people of Arkansas,
but rather their masters, and be felt it to be
great piece of impertinence for newspapers
in the State to comment on Neil under any
circumstances whatever.
Gen. Ord, in reply, says: Your letter of the
18th inst, in which your attempt to justify
an act CT party OF soldiers who, misled by
an officer, iorcibly entered a citizens house
aud destroyed his property, is received. You.
will please explain why this act was not pre-.
vented by You as post commander, and if the
requirement of the 32l article OF war has
been complied with? Your assertion that
Gen. Nel's forces are not the servants of the
people of Arkansas, but rather their masters,
is unjust both TO the people and Gen. Neil,
and unfounded in the laws which are for the
benefit Of the people. The assumption thai
party of soldiers can, at their option, forci-
bly, destroy a citizens property, and commit
gross violation of the public peace would
ros be tolerated under Napoleon.

The Great Issue.

The New York Herald sticks to its colours
on the subject of white against negro suprc.
macy. In its issue of Monday it says:

heart than any mere cho.ce Of u magistrate,

was made the bargain to give to the half civ
llzed slave supremacy over his former mas
ter, in order that the political balance Of this
brutal, ignorant and unreasoning vote might
retain the Puritan in power. That is the
exact present rosition Of the Radical party.
In accomplishing it's purpose thus far it has
traded away every title Of principle it origi
naly had from the sources Of power, and has
reduced the business of government to q
grand swindle, filing high places with cor

ciples upon which the nation stands traded to

a benefit than degradation, may be set in

R!cnrEous VENGEANCE LoNo. DELAYED
We find the following story in the New York
Ecening Ga=stte:
Baron Prangen was colonel in the Austrian
army in lS49, and chief of the military police
". Verona in those days when Austria ruled
Italy with rcd of iron. He was exceeding.
ly cruel, and on one occasion had the young
Countess Rovina stripped almost naked and
whipped numerically in the presence Of a
crowd OF soldiers, for an alleged political Of
tense. The Countess was almost crazed with
shame and indignation at the outrage. Her
death and that Of her husband soon followed.
A young man lately met the Baron Prangen
at his country seat near Gratz, in Austria.
He insultcd him, received the desired chal-
lenge, and chose Turkish sabres as his wea-
pons.. When the duel came off the young
man announced himself as the son of the
Countess RoVina, and hacked the Austrian
to pieces.

LET THE President REsIGN.-The New
York Herald of yesterday says editorially:
"To make the people feel tue full import. of
that which rests 80 heavily upon them, An
drew Johnson should resign and appeal TO
them. Let him resign and demand that a
convention of all the States be called to take
measures against this political ruin that Con-
gross is hurling against the Republic. Let
him tell the people that he finds it impossible
to resist entirely this attempt Of Congress to
assume dic,atorial power and inaugurate new
revolution. Let him show to them the polit.
cal picture as it exists-commerce wrecked,
the Treasury Department in ruins, the reve-
nue. administered for the benefit of those who
hold the Offices, the wealth of the nation
squandered, an exhaustive Iadian war on
hand for the benefit Of agents and contractors,
half the States under military dictatorship,
the other half threatened with similar gov.
ernment, corruption everywhere, vice making
throne of virtue. and the country driving
madly through the same political phases that
preceded the French Revolution"

BEAUFoRT.-We regret to learn b. private
letters, that the condition oil affairs, in Beau
fort is particularly gloomy. Before the war,
the white population was about 1000; it is
now, native and stranger, only 500. The
houses given to or bought by the negroes are,
very many of them, tumblug topieces. They
arc without fences, and with rank weeds and
all sorts of offensive debris about them, have
a most desolatc appearance. Many houses
of the best description, bought by Northern
men, have no tenants but negroes, herding
there from cellar to attic in penury and sick
ness. The coming wintcr is expected to be
one of great suffering, if not actual stsrva-
tiou.-Chaslestog Naray.

The CorroS TAx.-TAe JVorst In the List
No Tar on Crops.-The Cincinnati Ga
zetteis Radical paper, but even the Gazette is
compelled to acknowledge the profound folly,
the violation of true policy, and the scientific
fallacy involved in taxing one of the staple
products of the country, when that tax acts
as bounty to rival growers. In an article
recently published, the Gazette says:
.The Government has increased the diff
Guilty of the reconstruction OF this culture by
its tax ofthrec cents pound-the very worst
tax in the whole list, which was imp 'sed
upon the iiea that this country still possess
ed the monopoly Of the cotton production
when it had already slipped away from US.
H. has also to contend against financial
quackcry which depresses the price realized
in foreign ports, by depressing the price of
exchange, while it does not reduce in the least
the cost Of culture. In the productiveness
of the soil, and in the superiority Of the quail
ity of cotton, the United States have the adj
vantage over Asia. At the same price no In
dian cotton would be used. Throu:h this
superiority we may hope to regain our for
mer prestige, but it must be by increased pro
ducton and low prices. The difficulties Of
restoring the culture should not lie increased
by Government interference, either in the
way of tax on the crops, or By tinkering
prices by means of the Treasury gold.
ain 1860 the United States contributed
four million bales to the worlds supply. That
will be sufficient now, for the market is much
greater than then. We cannot be unmindiu
of the financial necessity f,r restoring and
increasing this production, and therefore it
should meet no impedimcnts from either our
revenue or financial policy"

President Juarez had completed the iorma-

Aware have been assigned in command. On
the 18th of July the President was accorded

Indifferent affair, the people being conspicu-

Macmillan read a poem dedicated to Juarez,
and little girl named Carlotta presented him
with golden crown. Diaz had had almost
rupture with Juarez on the subject of the
expected execution offourteen more prisoners
of war; and it was through his eftrt that they
were respited. He is sreported to have threat

Change Of Weather.

Since the eclipse of the moon on Friday even

most part, warm and sunny. Cotton bolls ought
to be opening finely, and picking should be going

rust and the worm, we venture tho prediction that
more cotton will open than will be picked. Much,
We fear, will bo lost by inability to gather it..

RADICAL Love For TIE Memo AND HATE

officer of the Frsedmcn's Bureau has de-
clared, that the Radicals did not intend to
have any negroes representatives either in

masters, to place and power, not to lift thcra.
selves. Rather than negro representatives
should be elected we do not doubt, a large
portion of the white Radicals would vote for

RIDERLEss RACING IN New YoRK.-It is
said that several italian residents of New

Florence and Rome, running horses without
riders. 4 thong of leather is attached to the
girths of the animal on this thong, at vari
GUS distances, tri,pointed spurs are placed,
and as the horse dashes forward these spurs
strike on his lanks, and the greater his speed
the more he is goaded along. 1t is proposed
as soon as sufficient funds have been raised,
TO adopt one OF the New York race courses
for the purpose, as the track has to be fenced
