Accounts have been received Of
trouble between the whites and ne
groes in St. LanGry's Parish on the
9th and 18th ult. They are greatly
conflicting as to the nun Der Of casu-
altes, Considerable ill>feeliug, grow-
ing out of politics, has existed there
for some time, but on the 10Th ult-
a conference was held between the
leaders of both parties, which esulted
IN an agreement satisfactory 10 all
parties On the 9th, however, a
personal difficulty occurred between
two white men, one a prominent
Radical politician, distorted accounts
ofwhich brought the negroes out
under arms, who foeked to the town
ofOpel0usas and fired in to a squad of
whites, killing one and wounding
four. 1t is reported that two negroes
also killed. The local authorities
then ordered the disarming of the
negroes, which was done, and order
restored, A report from respou-
sible authority states that the negroes
were the aggressors nthe whole affair,
except so far as it became necessary
to use force in disarming the negroes
on the neighboring plantations. An
account Of this affair, published ia
yesterdays Republican, the word
''rebel" oocurs seven times in three
quarters of column, It's account
also states that the agent ofthe Freed
mems Bureau fraternizes with, and
assists, the rebels in their unlaw-
full depredations.

Abouttvo weeks ago there came
ITO Louisville, by the mail boat from
Cinclnpad,. a young girl, who an
nouLced to her fellow passengers that
she was en- route for New Orleans,
whittier she was going to occupy an
engagement she had already accepted
as goycrneSS to wealthy creole
family. She was an agreeable person
in her appearance and manners.
Dressed in subiued but exquisite
taste, with a languld, melancholy cast
of couuteuuuce that lighted up in the
most flatteriug way when it was APP
preached. she attracted attention in-
Ispjte Of an apparent effort, which she
Wnade at first, to cvado it. Her
brother-"ulerk in a heavy Main
street house was to meet her at the
wharf. She was to spend a day or
two in Louisville, thence she would
20 direct by the cars to New Or
leans
The passage down the river from
Cincinnati was very lively. The
boat was crowded with gay people,
and after supper our young lady
entertained quite an audience, who
collected about the piano, playing aud
singing ia rayiShjug manuer. Iu-
deed one middle>aged gentleman, a
Memphis cotton-broker, became en-.
chauted, aud did not leave the cabin
until a late hour. Next morning he
rcappeared, found the object of his
sudden devotion quietly waiting the
arrival Of her broJher, aud took up
his position by her side, declaring
that he should not leave her until she
was iu safe hands.

GRENADA, MISSISSIPPI, OCTOBER il, 1868.
The Portland daily press., 1868-11-14

Our whole community was visibly agitated
and distressed yesterday at the news that Miss
Kellogg was lying seriously i'll at the Falmouth
Hotel, where she had arrived the evening pre-
vious from Hartford via Boston. The very
trying weather (Which has not been confined
to Portland) of the past week, together with
the long and tedious ride of some two hundred
and thirty-six miles in the after DON and eve
ming of very changeable day, had brought on
a severe cold which eliminated yesterday in a
very bad case of sore throat. The physician in
attendance stated that it would be very dan
gerous for her to attempt to sing at present,
and strongly advised quiet and rest until next
Wednesday evening, to which Miss Kellogg
reluctantly consented, for it was to be her first
appearance in this city and she shrank from
the idea of making excuses in the place of a
debut. But, in order that not even a shadow
of suspicion should fall upon herself or the
committee of the Mercantile Library Assoeia-
ton, that she was not acting in perfect good
faith, she will not only remain herself, but all
the Troupe will remain in the city until Thurs
day next.
Not only is this illness serious matter to
Miss Kellogg in personal, physical and pecu-
mary form, but it is also very great ineon-
venience, to say the least, to the gentlemen of
the M. L. A. committee whose programme it
may materially disarrange, in so far as re-
CARDS the lectures of the course, and we think
they deserve good deal of credit for srrang-
ing matters so that the public shall not be
disappointed in hearing our charming Ameri-
can song-bird. We trust that everything will
come out straight, and that day or two will
see "La belle Kellogg" enjoying fully restored
health and a voice improved and strengthened
by the long rest The concert will takssylaoe
on Wednesday evening next.

The Afternoon Train for Boston.

Mr.. EDITOR Last winter the afternoon
train on the P. S. & P. r. R. left for Boston at
800 P. M, and was due in B at 500 P. NJ The
mail train for New York left at $50 P. NJ, and
connections with that train were the excep-
tions and not the rule. When the connection
failed the mails and passengers were obliged
to lie over until the next morning. and would
not reach New York until after business hours,
thus causing delay of a whole day. The
business men not only of this city but through
out the State are interested in this matter, and
ought to unite in demanding that the train
should leave at least one-half hour sooner. so
that the connection with the train for New
York will, ordinarily, be made. The time ta-
BILE on this road will soon be arranged for the
winter, and no doubt Mr.. Chase, the able and
efficient superintendent, will, upon proper
representation, do all in his power to bring
about this matter.
Who will move in the matter?

Williamsburg. n. Y. who had long been suffering
from troublesome uterine disease Its presence was
marked by constant vaginal di charge, sometimes
muco-purulent. She hal been uneer treatment for
some time, but constantly grew worse. Vaginal ex-

THE METEoRIc SHowER-It has been stated
by astronomers that the meteorc showers
would occur between the 18th and 18th days of
this MONTH True enough, they came off last
night The heavens were perfectly clt ar and
the stars shone out brilliantly. About II
o'clock we noticed the stars beginning to shoot
from zenith to nadir, from West to East and
from North to South. From eleven to one
o'clock we counted about $50 of these meteors
From one to two o'clock they were so frequent
we could not keep the count. Some of them
were extremely brilliant, shooting across the
armament, displaying vivid shower OF light
and beauty that would pale the most brilliant
pyrotechnics ever produced 1t was sight
worth gazing upon and we'll worth sitting rp
a few hours to behold. 1t is not often that
night editor has anything to comfort him for
his late hours, but he is amply compensated by
such display as was witnessed last night, and
we pity our editor-in-chef. who was snugly
ensconced between the sheets, and could not
behold the heavens declaring the glory OF God.

The members OF this hne and spirited corps,
when they undertake to do anything, throw
their whole souls into the undertaking, and.
consequently, are always successful-as, wit
ness the series of promenade concerts they
have given in this city.
Last evening they undertook to do some-
thing, and carried it out in the handsomest
manner. They assembled at their armory in
strong numbers and in full uniform. Under
command of Lieut.. Pencil and accompanied
by the Portland Band, they marched to the
residence of George A. Wright, ESQ.,, Presi-
dent of the Board OF Common Council. cor
per of State and Danforth streets, who is one
of the honorary members of the company. and
gave him serenade and salute. Mr. Wright
responded to this demonstration in few re-
marks, thanking the company for the honor
they had conferred upon him by this visit.
Returning to Market Hall the Blues stacked
arms, and presented their arms to the ladies
there assembled, and with them, accompanied
by the Band, marched to the residence of
Capt. George w. Parker, their commander
1t was intended this should be a surprise par
ty, but Capt. Parker had got wind of it and
was ready to meet them. When they arrived
a. his residence he gave them hearty well
come saying that though the wings of the
"Parker House" presented a forlorn aspect,
ye. the centre was bright and full of hospitali-
ty to them. This members of the corps with
their ladies then marched into the house.
In a short time they had all assembled in the
hall, and Capt. Parker was sent for. He came
up with his wife and other members of the
family, when private Storer S. Knight in be-
half of the privates of the Company, present
ed Capt P. with a splendid silver pitcher and
salver. On the salver was this inscription:
Presented Capt George w. Parker, by the Mem
bers OF the Portland Mechanic Blues, Nov. 49, 1.6S
In making the pre- sentation Mr.. Knight
made some appropriate remarks, touching the
regard the members entertained tor their COM
mander and his worthy wife.
This aoas a surprise to Capt. Parker, and he
acknowledged he had been fanked ON every
side. He returned his thanks to the Company
complimented them on their soldierly and gen
tlemanly behavior at Gorham and Dover, and
expressed the thanks of his wife for such an
elegant present
Capt. Mattocks, of the Portland Light In
fantry, being called upon, responded in some
happy remarks upon the good feeling that had
| ever been evinced by the Blues to the Com
pany under his command
Dancing was next in order, and happy time
was enjoyed in the hall, to the music of the
Band, until summoned by Capt. Parker to &c
below where an elegant supper was furnished
which every one enjoyed. At late hour the
Company, with their ladies, took their depar-
ture, all confessing it was one of the most
| pleasant times they had ever enjoyed.
