has ever been the character of his opera

expected reversal of natural laws and
contradiction of history to follow the
Congo experiment they propose to
complete in the South. The cost of
the military establishment is then
merely the first instalment of the out

to follow, when destroyed South hides
the wealth that should contribute to
upbuild the entire country, and perma-

4 MiscegenatiOn BrOtheI.
Attempt 10 Break il Up.
white Man Killed by "a Negro

From the RavenswOod Press of April 9th.l
On Monday night last, Mr.. John
ShOckcy was killed in an atfray on
the Straight Fork of Sand Creek in this
county, under the following circum-
stances:
There is family of colored persons,
by the name of jenkins, living on a
branch of Straight Fork near the resi-
denc9 of Mr.. Shockey's father. On
Sunday last these people moved
Il mulatto fellow by the name of
Sellers, into u house on their
land near their own. This man Sellers
is living with white woman as his
wife, who has been notorious prOsti-
tute for years. He also had some others
with him of the same stripe. On Mon
day night some of the young men of the
ucigbboThood determined to break up
this don, aud about eleven o'clock re-
paired TO the place and ordered the
parties to leave, or they would tear the
house down over their heads.
This brought ont the women in full
force, who opened Oh the party with their
tongues, asd with rocks. The chimney
of the cabin was thrown down, and
some of the assailing party went around
TO the back of the shanty witk rails to
throw the roof off. Just as they had
reached the point desired and were pre-
pairing to execute their plans, shot
was fired from the inside Of the house,
and the party Immediately retreated,
Young Shockey rcmarking ut the time
Pm hit" lie retrcated with his com
rades for some distance, but lie soon be-
came weak and fell.
The party at the house, having been
reinforced by some of The jenkins family,
pursued their assailants, and young
Shockcy fell into their hands for
time, bat was finally delivered mp 70
his father in a dying condition. He
was shot through the body near the
heart, and lived but short time after
receiving the wound. Several otb"r
shots were fired by both parties during
the melee, but no other person was
hurt, and the parties repaired to their
respective homes.
Young Shockey was soldier during
the late war, and was highly esteemed
by all who knew him. His untimely
death casts a gloom over his family and
friends, and elicits the sympathy OF the
whole community.
Eli Sellers, the man who was in the
house at the time the shooting
was done, was arrested yesterday, and
had an examination before Justice of
the Peace, and was by him sent on fer
trial at the next term of the Court of
this county. The facts proved on the
examination correspond with those
above stated.
Sellers is colored man, apparently
about ono fourth negro, about thirty
five years of age and rathar intelligent
for one in his circumstances. He does
not deny the shooting of Shoclley, but
claims he was justified in doing SO in
defending his domicile.

4 SIAMEsE ROMANCE.


u Lnos Girl aud Sacrihceu.
The priests or BONES of Siam are VOW
ed to celibacy and monastic life.
Death is the certain consequence OF any
known departure from the vow of cell
bacy; a priest must not even be suppos-
ell conscious of the presence of such
temptation as women, to the Interrupt
ton of that abstract contemplation
which is the aim and end of the Buddhist
votary. One amoRg the priests, who
swarmed in one of the large monasteries
attached to the temples, has been re-
markable for his unflinching zeal in the
practice of every act of self-sacrtice
enjoined by his religion, observing the
most rigid abstinence, and also silence
which gave external evidence of the all
straction of his mind from all the cares
and concerns of this mundane exist
ence. He had taken his turn with his
brethren to issue forth upon the river
ut early dawn, to receive the daily cou-
tributions of provisions so willingly set
aside by the people for the sustenance
of their BONES. Sometimes he went
alone, latterly, on the occasion of his
fulfilling this mission alone, he had not
returned without some unusual delay.
There is a certain body among the
priesthood whose especial duty is to
watch over the private and public con-
duct of the other members Of their fra
terBity, and to bring them to trial for
neglect of duty, or on conviction of any
crime, religious or moral. Those Off
cials, being apprised that grave sus-
picion attached to one of their order,
placed a spy over his conduct. Having
selected for the purpose one ofthe most
tried and sagacious among themselves,
he began his task by studying closely the
movements and actions of the supposed
delinquest. On his return from one of
his missions on the river, uupercelyed
he watched him as he sat alone. He
appeared frequently to take something
from his bosom, which he pressed to his
lips, and then returned it TO its resting
place, The spy, drawing gradually
nearer, was enabled to satisfy himself
that the treasured article was rose:
further observation and vigilance now
became necessary. On the next occasion
of the culprit's sallying forth on the
river, his course was tracked by
a spy, by whom he was seen
to enter gate of one of the gardens
sloping down to the water, and to meet
a Young and handsome Laos girl, with
whom-coptrary TO the sacerdotal Law
he was seen to exchange words, from
whose hands he was also gnilty OF Ie-
ceiying a rsse, which he pressed to his
Inns. At length, being found absent
from his cell at late hour IN the even
ing, he was proved 10 have kept Sc
cret assignatioa with the matden-an
act which sealed his fate. The follow.
ing day he was tried for his crime and
condemned to cruel death, Mniie
similar sad fate was adjudged the un-
fortunate maiden.
