"SIR: have the honor to inform yon that a
very serious riot occurred here to-day. j had
net been applied to by the convention for pro
lection, but the Lieutenant Governor and
the Mayor had freely consulted with me, and
was so fully convinced that It was so strongly
the intent of the city authorities TO preserve the
peace in order TO prevent military interference,
that / did not regard an outbreak as thing Ia

assured me that even If writ Of arrest was is

The dispatch of Gen. Baird Of the 18th
asks for immediate instructions, and his
letter of the 30th, after detailing the ter
rible riot which had just happened, ends
with the expression of regret that the in
structions which he asked for we're not
sent. Il is not the fault or the error or
omission of tie President that this military
commander was left without instructions );
but for ali omissions, for all errors, for all
failures to instruct when instructions might

A Rich and Raey Account of Rare
Old Man.

The following contribution to the columns
Of the Yieksburg Herald will be recognized
by our readers as an truthful and life-like
portraiture of one Of the most noted and
popular Bonifaces that ever give tone to
the useful profession of bookkeeping.
Away back in 1886 GenI McMackin used
to keep hotel in Memphis, and it would be
worth half dozen Nicholson pavements to
that city to get him back again. He ought
to 20 to mphis-Vicksburg is not half
large enough to properly appreciate such a
genius One Of our citizens having lately
visited Vicksburg, informs us he partook of
the Generals hospitality at the Washington
Hotel, which is now under his special care,
and that McMackin is to this day the same
veritable comforter Of the weary traveller as
in days of yore. Our fellow citizen was
one of the eZeUe7e hundred fed by Gen'l Nc
Mackin in the Wilderness in 1886, and in
forms us that it seemed miraculous how the
General could and did feed such multitudes
on their travels in the Chickasaw wilds ::
A recent visit to the City of Hills con
ated by that paragon of hosts Gen ThOs c.
McMackin, and which thousands of his de-
lighted guests in the wilderness, In POntotoc,
Memphis and jackson have heard IN past
years, and with which he finished the vocal
announcement of his tempting bill Of fare
" We are an immense people r he usually
added to this grand climax some reference to
the most excited political topic of the day
as in lS45 before the annexation OF Texas,
during the Mexican War, or the Oregon
controversy, the addition was given to the
sumptuous list Of yiands with which his
guests were surfeited, and while they were
in the well-fllcd and satisfied condition to
receive it. and to feel benevolent or indifer-
ent TO all the world and the rest Of man
kind :" We are an immense people tgitk OF
I0ithOut Mexico or Oregon" On one Occa-
sion when some very ignorant and narrow
minded legislators, but who were gifted with
a large share Of " low cunning" and who, II
! Is thought, were bribed by several eEviOus
hotel keepers, succeeded in defeating him as
candidate for Sergeantat- Arms-he
avenged himself very ludicrously by apollo
gizing to his guests for departing from the
usual practice Of irst-cIass hotel keepers, In
/ printing and distributing his bills Of fare
He said it was not from motives Of economy
that he saved the printing and gave them
the burden of his dishes and bottles Uivo
UOce but from pure beneVOlence; and prin
ciDally, for the reason that most of the mem
bers of the Legislature, then IN session
could not read and be added to his an
nouncemenS of refreshments for that day

FARM LABOR

The Question for Pzanters-Inl1ltgratio
and Machinery against Ignorance and
the Leagues
The Columbia, CTenn.) Herald hit
good lick when it said
The future prosperity of the famers of
Tennessee depends entirly upon their capac-
itY to appreciate and adapt themselves to
their new and changed condition. A reVo-
luton Of the most radical character has been
suddenly and forcibly wrought Ia their Sys-
tenn of labor. As an inevitable consequence.
they must at once iRangerats thorough re-
formation in their system of farming The
system Of labor which they have lost, had
one, and only one, mutual advantage over
free labor, either white or black, and that
consisted IN its permanency, It's certainty
and the completeness Of control Under
which it was held. But for this one quality
there was no ground of comparison between
slave and free labor, considered from q pe-
cuniaTy point of view. In every other re-
spect free labor was always cheaper and
more desirable. Now there is none but
free labor. 1t is all the more desirable,
therefore, that we should seek to supply in
free labor this one great virture Of slave Ia
Dor. To this end we should bend all cur en-
ergies. Fortunately, we do not have 70 seek
far, the means are at hand Machinery
that has revoiutionized ali other branches
Of industry, will yet work the much desired
reformation IN agriculture. Machinery can
be made to do vast deal Of the work on a
farm. and machne never runs away nor
strikes for higher wages; besides, machine
IS always on hand when wanted, and it
never is insolent doesn't steal, and, above
all it never goes off TO league meetings. Ia
short, we'll regulated machines are Just the
thing for the farmers of Tennessee. But to
use machinery in agriculture, we must have
laborers far more intelligent than the negrcs.
1t is useless to try the general introduction
Of machinery, with negroes to run the ma
chimes. 1t requires careful, competent, and
trustworthy white men.
Our people, everywhere in the South, es-
pecially in Tennessee, should form Agrieul-
turaI and Mechanical associations, and hold
out solid inducements to white laborers The
first grand step is to organize a County soci-
ETY. of the kind named above. Then the la
Dor question can be canvassed IN al its
phases. Who win start the ball in Hardeman
We learn that the Agricultural society that
existed here before the war could reorganize
with but little trouble or delay.

SoUND.-Haight, the newly elected Con
servative Governor of California was sere-
naded by a number Of his friends few eve
nings after the day of election. During the
course Of a speech which he made on the
occasion, Gov Haight said:
1 am not now about to enter upon any
discussion of the lessons to be drawn from
the result of this election Upon a proper
occasion l will advert to these lessons, and
endeavor to impress them upon the minds
and hearts of the people; but this is not the
time nor occasion for any extended address.
l Will simply say that in this result we pro-
test against corruption and extravaganza in
our State affairs-against populating this
fair State with a race of Asiatics-against
sharing with inferior races the government
of the country-against the military despot-
ism which now exists at the South under
the late act of Congress; and this protest of
our echoing the voice of Connecticut and
Kentucky will be re-echoed in thunder
tones by the great Central States, until the
Southern States are emanciated from negro
domination and restored to their rightful
places as equals and sisters In the great
Federal family
