Capt. NJ. johnson had difficulty with
negro, near Clinton, Mississippi, last
week, in which the negro was killed. In
two hours, three or four hundred armed
negroes, who we're all members of the
league, sworn to support one another
right or wrong, came up and demanded
johnson, who was then in custody of an
officer of the law, swearing they would
wade knee deep in blood to get him. On
the promise of regular trial, they were,
however, induced to desist for the time,
and johnson was conveyed to Clinton.
johnson was, from all accounts, just
fable in killing the negro, in self defense.
The Mobile Tribune relates the story
of bold attempt by determined negro

knock her id head off if she would not

came up, a policeman was called, the
lady rescued, and the rascal arrested
and fined thirty dollars.

n@p The suicidal policy of late pur-
sued by the Congressional usurpers, is
rapidly coming to be duly estimated by
the Northwestern people. The curses
they have heaped on the Southern peo-
pie are coming home to roost By taxa
ton, oppression and destruction of
labor, they have rendered cotton produc.
ton Improbable, and compelled the
planters Of the South to raise grain and
stock, and come into competition with
themselves Now no man in the South
asks his neghbor what to do; there is no
need of conventions and counsels as to
the future operations of planting. But,
because cotton viii not pay, the planters
are driven to abandon it, and raise just
what the Western States raise; thus in
self defense reducing the prices Of
Western commodities. The only remedy
which can avail the grain-growing States
is to control the labor Of the South again,
or put premium on the production Of
cotton high enough to induce white inn
migration into the South sufficient for
its extensive culture. Otherwise we
shall never have million bales again,
nor Southern market for Western
products. A Columbus (0hio) agricul-
tural paper, which. looks watchfully to
the farming interests of its section, has
taken alarm, and says:
The indications are that the time is
not far distant when the farmer Of Ohio
will be compelled to find a market and
consumers for his products at home,
instead of shipping his surplus to distant
markets North aud South. The reign Of
cotton see ms to be about at an end, and
the heretofore Cotton States will, no
doubt, soon become large grain growers,
feeding themselves, and eventually rails
ing surplus for export. Ia view Of such
a contingency, it behooves the farmers
of Ohio aud adjoining States TO be look
ing about for customers at home.
