or winter. Such has been my experience, and

BLOODY AFFAIR IN NEW ORLEANS.

From the New Orleans Republican, June 2e.l
Last evening few minutes before nine O'Clock,
OF those shocking and bloody affairs occurred at
Victors restaurant, Canal street. the details Of
which make the observer and the reader shudder.
Two gentlemen were dining there at one table, and
Colonel NANNY, late OF the Confederate service,
brother OF General Nanny, OF Nashville, Tenn,
that rendered him bosterous and dangerous Colonel
Nanny was rude and insulting In his language, and
with his revolver threatened to shoot somebody about
the premises. The two gentlemen referred TO left the
table, and went to the door 10 procure o policeman
to arrest Nanny. When they returned Nanny met
them near the door, and commenced TO apologize
for his rdeuess and incvility. Suddenly something
was done to change his course OF apology and II 10
presumed that he again became insulting, when
almost instantly 1t Is thought In selfdefence one
Of the two gentlemen referred to stabbed Nanny
twice to the heart, and instantly ned down Canal
street towards the Clay statue. At late hour last
night he had not been arrested, nor had the police
been able to ind his companion, though they knew
his name and where his room Is, and had visited it

CONsIDER.-We commend to the carefn
consideration of number of our readers the
following, from an exchange. There are now
on the books of the Spirit several hundred
who are still in arrear -
What would you think of farmer who
had raised thousand bushels of wheat, and
who should sell it to thousand different per-
sons, scattered all over the State, and agree
to wait year for his pay from each of them,
and if one half of them did not pay at the
end of the year, he should give them another
bushel, and agree to wait another year tor his
pay, and thus 90 on from year to year? How
long would such farmer escape bankruptcy!
Probably not very much longer than publish
ers of newspapers who follow such a practice
1t costs the editor of newspaper moro than
double as much to supply thousand sub
scribers for one year than it costs farmer to
raise thousand bushels Of wheat.
The farmer sells his grain in bulk. News
papers are sold to a thousand different persons
living in different places; and although he
contracts for pay in advance, he must wait
until the end of the year before he can get
payment and he depends wholly upon the
honesty and responsibility of the subscribers.
1t will not pay him to 90 or send around the
country to collect his dues, as the amount
owing by each man is small yet it makes
large sum in the aggregate.

AGAIN OpEN.-Through the energy Of
the Agents of the B. & o. Il. R., it has been
again opened for the transportation of mer-
chandise, and at no point has its convenience
been more sensibly felt than our own. Each
day our merchants are receiving their needed
supplies, and to provide against similar
mishap, we find mos. of them are laying in
quite sufficient store to provide for "rainy
day" All the employees on the Winchester
road, save five on each section, were detailed
to assist in the work of reconstruction. 1t is
estimated that three thousand hands have
been at work on the road, and the aggregate
loss to the railroad company by the terrible
treshet, is put down at three millions of dol
lars. 1t is in contemplation to lay an entire
new track from the Relay to Harper's Ferry,
by which the rivers are to be avoided, brldg-
ing of creeks saved, and more direct route
obtained.

Rev. NoRvAL WILsoN.-This venera-

by many long years of social and christian
intimacy, is now on a visit to our town. We
are panied to see the failing condition of his
health, and greatly fear the winter last spent

the delegate from Frederick county, has
proven too much for his frail constitution
If it be the will of Providence, he has the
prayers of our people for his recovery of

THE DnouTu-The drouth in our imme-
diate vicinity still continues, and whilst the
prospect of change is promising to the hope,
it is still broken to the heart. With but a
slight shower, we have had no rain of service
to vegetation since the 9th of July, and as
necessary consequence, the early corn has
wilted and dried up. tho grass fields look as
barren of heritage as the highways, and the
utter loss of our vegetable gardens is dis
tressing to the rich and utterly impoverishing
to our poor The price of all commodities of
consumption is consequently advancing, and
in addition to our other ailments, social and
political, we have but gloomy prospects ahead
little business, less money, and starvation
prices.

IMPORTANT DJsCovERY.-The Maryland
Fertilzins Manufacturing Company, whose
advertisement appears in our paper, is about
bringing into use, for the benefit Of the az
ricultural world, one of the most important
fertilizers yet known. Suffice it TO say for
the present, it is the very remarkable deposit
of Phosphates which has been discovered in
the vicinity of Charleston, S. c., and which
extends for several miles up the Ashley River,
covering many thousand acres of land. The
entire extent of the deposit has not yet been
explored. 1t is known, however, to contain
sources of immense wealth, in the millions of
tons of fossilized bones underlying the surface
soil, and averaging il many places foot in
thickness This inexhaustible fertility is
known to extend back from the river a con-
siderable distance into the forest. 1t speaks
we'll for the enterprise Of Baltimore, that
number of her citizens should so promptly
have organized themselves into an incorpo-
rated Company for the purpose of working
those valuable deposits, and of opening a
market so convenient of access to the people
of the South, and especially our Valley, by
which this important fertilizer can be brought
into general use.
