by Military Authority.
NATCHEz, Miss. July 30, 1868.
Four of the parties strongly suspected OF
being connected with the outrage commit
ted on Mr.. Stewart some time since were
taken out Of the hands of the civil authori-
ties on Monday morning by the military
commander Of this district, General Dudley,
and were conveyed to the fort, where they
were required to enter into heavy bonds
for their appearance from day to day. The
matter was to have been examined into by
the civil authorities, but when the time ar
rived, by an order from General Gillem,
the parties were taken out of the hands of
the civil authorities, and transferred to the
military. 1t is rumored that the parties are
to be sent to headquarters at Vicksburg to
be tried by a military commission.
Stewart swears to the identity of one of
the parties. The hackman swears that the
party identified by Stewart was one of four
that he drove out in his hack on Saturday
night to Washington, and that the party
were disguised. He also swears to another
as being one of the same party. Another
of the party has been identified by another
witness. The fourth party who is under
arrest figured very conspicuously in the
burial of the new constitution Of the State
of Mississippi in this city few weeks
since. He offciated as chaplain on that
occasion, and probably he was officiating
in the same-capacity- on the occasion of the
tarring and feathering of Stewart and was
of1ciate to him spiritually at his final ex-
ecGtion.
The eau has been Identified, and has been
traced to where it belongs, and the parties
who furnished the coal tar and where it
came from are known. The parties arrest
ed are prominent members Of the Democ-
racy, and If guilty this goes plainly to
show that their object is to fsighten and
! drive from the country thS Republicans
who have taken an active part in enlight-
ening the masses. If they intend to build
up the Democratic party OF the South by
these c. res and assassinations, they will
in the end find themselves reckoning with
out their host. They may carry on their
deeds OF diabolism for while, but it will
recoil back on their heads with ten-fold
force.
Too much praise can not be awarded to
General Dudley, the able and efficient COM
mander OF the post, for his prompt action in
this most outrageous affair. He has made
use Of every means In his power TO bring
the guilty parties 10 trial, aud .have them
punished as their crime deserves. Law
breakers, street-brawlers, and disturbers of
the peace will meet with their Just deserts
at the hands Of the General. He is deter
mined that law and order shall be main
tanned where he is in command.

The Norfolk Vl7yimlan, of q late
date, has the following article on the
Samac Trade, which may be of interest
to some of our readers:
THE SuMAc TRADE-This new item
of interest to our industrial class is now
attracting much attention in this State,
throughout tle.entire length and breadth
Of which it Aourishes in profusion in a
Wild state. The material is used large
ly for the essential principle of tanning,
which it contains, and factories for its
extraction have been established in this
State, and elsewhere. Oar attention. has
been particularly called to the estab-
lishment Of Messrs. Chisman s Crocker,
in Hampton, who have gone into the
business on a large scale, and from
whose circular we make the following
extracts, for the guidance of those who
may wish to engage in its collection /:
'Sumac must be OF a good color, free
from stems, dirt and berries" f y $;
- II should be gathered from the first Of
July until first frost, after which it will
turn red, and then will be, worthless.
1t should be cured as much as possible
under shelter or in the shade, to pre-
serve its color and strength-carefullv
thraShed (and not .cut) on aplank floor,
Or sheet, to keep it free from dirt and
sand The sticks, stems and berries
should be carefully raked and picked
out before sending to market"
They also give the following direc-
ton for gathering and curing the pro-
duct:
Leather like you would fodder of
this years growth, except the blossoms
and berries; dry it under shelter; stir
it like You would hay be careful it
does not heat do not dry it in the sun
both will soil it; when dry put it in
bulk. When dry windy days set in,
then lay it in beds like you would
wheat or oats, thrash it with .aAaa,
when the leaves and stems will break
up fne-rake out the large stems and

thrashed Sumac. Be careful not to
have any sand on the floor before thrash
ing. There is no weight in the large
stems. being mostlypith, and no strength;
to bring them to market will only re-
duce the price of your sumac, and
when you gather the large stems you
have to wait that much longer for your
Sumac to cure. The strength OF Spmac
is in the leaf and leaf stem.
With these instructions, q large class
of the population in the surrounding
country can spend their leisure time in
light but very remunerative employ
ment, at no cost beyond the labor of
gathering. :.

l cannot close without one word about
pears. They do not succeed in this lati-
tude-the blight destroys them. Ihave
lost over one thousan! trees by blight
but shall try it again.
On recent visit to Marietta, was
struck with the thsiftness and quail
ty of the pear, and, all that I have
said about the profit Of peaches, I will
say in regard to pears Planted on the
line of Railroad at Marietta and above
that line they ship better than peaches.
Many kinds are only perfected by gath
ering them few days before they ripen.
They require a much richer soil than
peaches but am confident that. large
pear orchards will richly repay the labor
and expense Of cultivation.

may have omitted some facts familiar

suggest. in your paper, the information
