A SPECIMEN OF MILITARY DEsPOTIsM.
Near the Southern centre of this State
of Arkansas lived, few months ago,
young man and his still younger sister,
with young and accomplished wife,
whom he had taken to his home fireside.
Everything seemed bright and beautiful
before them. The young mans name
was Mitchell. In August last Mitchell
being absent, as also was his sister at
neighboring house--a worthless scoundrel
came TO their house, whose advances the
young lady had rather scornfully repulsed,
and hired a negro man to send a negro
boy to tell bliss Mitchell that a lady had
called to see her, and desired her to return
home. After closely questioning the boy
the young lady was convinced that he
was telling her a lie, and did not return.
IN the eveEin Q the brother returned, and
having learned tie facts as above stated,
and provoked at The impudence of the ne
gro who had accepted bribe to send
lie TO his young sister, lashed him well
Uith = bride rein y The
negro went to DuvaIrs Bluff and reported
to one McCulloCh, agent of the Freed
mems Bureau, who referred the matter to
General Smith, at Little Rock. Smith
at once ordered the arrest Of young Mitch
ell, who was incarcerated in The Arkansas
penitentiary in dark cell, four by eight
feet in size, where he lay for nearly four
months awaiting trial by q military com~
mission. Seeing no disposition on the
part of the military despots to give him
even the form of trial, yonng NIitchells
counsel prepared, about the Goth OF Octo-
ber, an application to the Judge Of the
District Court Of the United States Of the
Northern District Of Arkansas. for writ
of haJeas corpus, but before it could be
presented, Mitchell, an honest and res
pectable citizen of Arkansas, died in his
cell, the murdered victim of a brutal mil
iiary desPotism-aye, brutaI-far more
than any act that ever disgraced the an
mails of any other government under the
sun,-Bl1ck Rirer Register.

Two MURDERS CAUSED BY LANE
MULE AND DOG.-We received Yesterday
from one of the employees Of the Quincy
and St. Jo. Railroad, the news of shock
ing affair that transpired at BottsvilIe, Mo,
one hundred miles west of this place. The
particulars are as follows: ga farmer
who lived near Bettsville, on going into
his yard or field, discovered a lame mule,
belonging to bis noighbor, eating and
destroying his oats, which were stacked
near the house. He az once set his dog
upon The crippled animal His neighbor,
the owner Of the mule, observing the dog
harassing and chasing the animal, went
into the house, procured bis gun and shot
the dog. This 50 aggravated the owner
of the dog, that he procured a gun, and
going to his neighbor's, discharged it at
the mule. Unfortunately the neigLbor and
his wife were standing near, the latter
holding an infant in her arms. The sim
gle discharge from the gun not only killed
the mule, but inflicted a mortal wound
upon the man, and left the child a corpse
IN Its mSther's arms. AS soon IS ihe
perpetrator of the deed realized the terr;bl.
nature Of the crime he bad committed. hC
mounted horse and fled The spot. We
understand that parties are IN pursnit o
hin, bot with iitle hope Of securing hin. .

WARRING AGAINST THE DEAD-The
New York Tribune says:
at is said that Gov. Geary withholds the
Pennsylvania appropriation from the An
tletam CemetTy because the Maryland au-
tho!i.ies have made provision for buryinc
the rebel dead therein. We trust thas the
story is rot true. IF rye are ready to par
don the Rebels who have laid down their
arms, San we not forget resentment towards
chose who have given up their lives -
Gov. Geary has not only withheld the
appropriation, but has secured the passage
Of resolution of thanks in the Lower
House Of the legislature, for so doing
every ''ra.row minded block head" and
every little crea:ers" voting for it,
Among the number Of those who voted
lhus are some who were notorious specg
lators in the necessities Of the Government
during the war; others who simulated
ailments and plead age to avoid conscrip-
ton, and still others who sc t negroes into
the army to destroy raiions in thfr stead
Among those who voted against thanking
GeaTy for his hyena-Eke conduct, were a
number Of brave Democratic soldiers

was called TO the stand as a witness, and
he testified that not only Mr.. Field, but
Mr.. Justice Davies, and, what is more
astounding, Chief Justice Chase, had pro-
nounced the pending Reconstruction bill
