ny,Irr ron ALEXANDER COUNT,

We harc Information that mr. Linegar Is
preparing bill to be introduced into the
legislature at its present session for the relief
Of Alexander county, and allowing the coun-
" to retain the state taxes and appropriate
them TO the support Of paupcrs and criminals.
When the facts which are in possession Of mr.
Lncgar and senator Mum shall have been
laid before the legislature we do not doubt the
members of that body will recognize the
justice of our claim and without hesitation
enact mr. Lincgar's bill. Cairo is upon two
Of the greatest water courses in the country,
and the poor and criminal, from all quarters
'e compass, crowd upon us and become u
burden to the community. 1t is not equity
that we should pay these heavy charges,
without aid from the state, and If the legis-
laturc fails to enact mr.. Linegars relief bill,
il will fail to do Cairo aud Alexander county
justice. Our own population are law-abiding,
and few are INDECENT.

Gallant Conduct of President Grants
Son. Frederick. ~

At Laurel, Maryland, Wednesday afternoon,
while the sons Of DR.. Sharpe, (brotber-in-law
Of General Grant,) Marshal Of the District OF
Columbia, were bathing in the Patuxent river,
near that place, in company with their young
cousins, Masters Grant and Dent, who were on
a visit TO the family of Marshal Sharpe, quite
a serious accident happened. Dent Sharpe,
very intelligent and promising young lad OF
eleven years Of age, was noticed struggling in
the water, and while struggling he called out
that he was drowning. His father heard his
cries, and hastily commenced to dsrobe in or
der to Jump in and save his son, but ere he could
get to the scene, Fred. Grant, who had just
come from West Point, CALAMITY jumped into
the river, without attempting TO pnll-off even
his boots, and grasped the hair of the unfortu-
nate boy, who was going down for the third
time. With unusual presence of mind, and
an exertion of the extraordinary physical
strength, for which be is famous, Fred was en-
abled to bring young Sharpe in safety to the
shore 1t was most gallant act, and one for
which the young soldier deserves the utmost
praise. lie was made quite lion of in Laurel
