Schneider and two others entered the restaurant
of Mr.. Appel. on Gallo whill street, below Fifth,
and called for beer. Being toll they could not
obtain any, they assaulted the bar keeper,
Joseph echoll, who boarded in the house, went
to the assistance of the attacked party, and
succeeded in ejecting Schneider IRON the pre-

step. While there, Schneider taunted him for a
time, and then struck him. scholl returned the
blow, when Schneider ran into the mark ct
house, came back, and again assaulted Scholl
who grabbed him. He then pulled out knife

dropped to the pavement. The assassin then
ran away, and going to his boarding house on

on What we deemed as reliable authority,
a refutation Of the many wild rumors
current In the city In regard 70 a diili-
Guilty having occurred between some
Marshall county negroes and the
Ku-Klux Khan. We have since
learned that our informant misled
us-no unusual circumstance in news
paper liie-and that there really existed
some foundation for the report The
expanded facts, somewhat condensed,
are about as follows:, At Chapel Hill, in
Marshall county, difficulty arose from
the whipping Of negro by some dis
guised persons, between a number OF
armed negroes Of the vicinity, and sup
posed party Of the Ku- Klux Khan. The
negroes left their homes, under command
OF one Doc Garrett, a negro, aud came
in the direction Of Murfreesboro, where
they raised considerable stir; but
were finally disbanded through the
influence Of Mayor Jordan, Of that
place, not, however, with the promise
Of "feasting and drink" as reported.
Thus matters rested until the disbanded
negroes scattered over the country, and
four of the stragglers were arrested and
taken to the Murfreesboro Jail. A re-
QUESTION was made for their possession
BY some of the men from Marshall
county; but, as they had not the neces-
sary legal authority with them, the
Sheriff at Murfreesboro refused to deliver
them up.-Nashpiiie Union and Dis

Crops in the South.

A friend Of ours just returned from a
visit to a flourishing and popular South
ern female seminary, where he met gen.
tlemen from all parts Of the South, who
came there to accompany their daughters
home for the summer vacation, brings
most encouraging intelligence of the crop
prospect throughout the unrecon structed
Territories. The cotton and sugar crops
are unusually promising the latter crop
especially, in Louisiana. A more settled
condition of the labor system ia already
having the happiest results. The pros.
pect is good for fruitful harvest, and the
farmers everywhere are beginning to
take heart under adversity and political
persecution.
In addition to these facts we have the
cheering intelligence from different parts
of our own State of fine crop prospects.
A gentleman, q wholesalesale merchant
OF this city, just returned from business
tour through the western counties, re-
ports fine rains and vigorous growth of
vegetation. The rains in this vicinity
Friday night are worth thousands to the
agricultural interests, and there is fair
prospect for continuation of the bless
ing. The wheat harvest progresses with
industry. The growth has been unu-
sually thin, but the yield of grain Il
heavy Notwithstanding. All of which
affords hopeful augury of easier times
ahead, and season of commercial pros
perity.--NdshriHe Banner.
