Negro Killed.

ed Wilson Cochran, who formerly be-
longed to DIR. COCHRAN, on Fountain
Creek, was killed Before he died II.
HARRIS, Justice Of the Peace, swore
him, and he gave the following history
of the killing. He said that Isaac and
Orange Whitaker, and Nat Burke, for
merly servant of Squire f. A. BURKE,
came to his house late last Friday night,
and called him to his door, saying they
wanted him to show them the Columbia
& Lewisbnrg road, about half mile
away. He refused to go, and said he
could tell them so they could not miss
the way. They told him, however, that
he had to go. He insisted that they
must wait, then, until he could put on
his shoes, as he was barefooted The
three negroes with murder in their bad
hearts, replied, mo, you shall so as you
are About this time they drew their
pistols, and as Wilson jumped back,
two shots were fired at him, one taking
effect in the elbow, shivering it all to
pieces, so that amputation was necessa.
nv, but it was not amputated, as it was
found that the other wound was suffi-
cient to cause his death. The other shot
penetrated the back and entered the alb
domed. He died on last Sunday at
about ten o'clock. Orange Whitaker
and Nat Burke have been arrested, but
the other murderer, Isaac Whitaker,
is nowhere to be found in the whole
country. The neigborhood accounts for
the killing thus-Isaac Whitaker and
a number of other negroes were at the
house of Wilson Cochran about ten days
previous to the murder. Isaac said that
he lost a considerable sum of money
while he was in the house, and accused
Wilson himself of being the thief. 1t is
supposed that he got two of his friends
to go with him and get revenge out of
Wilson.

DUCK RIVER STATION. Aug "a.

DUCK hlNEb OIAI1ON, mug $1s
Mr.. HERALD:-I made a trip last
week by rail, to Water Valley, on the
Mississippi Central r. r. The drouth,
from which we suffer, extends to Tus-
cumbia. Beyond that place corn and
cotton are as good as the land and cul>
tivation will make. They do not seem
to have suffered for rain, and according
to my observation the crops have been
pretty well cultivated. saw nothing
to prevent them from gathering a pretty
fair crop, but, withal, would not sup
pose they would have corn enough
without importing, because there is not
enough planted.
In this part of the county crops are
burnt up. Rain cannot possibly do
corn any good nop. Itwould bring out
tall pastures and turnips. Without an
accident this county will import grain
next summer.
I see the Banner insinuates that
persons who hold my views are trying
to get up a panic to raise the price of
breadstufs, thus playing into the hands
of the spectators. May it not be that
those who raise the cry of plenty-fy-
ing in the face of facts-are also playing
into the han! Is of the spectators, and
shrewd men are even now buying up
and attempting to monopolize the
grain. "a word to the wise is suffi-
Gent" and "Time will tell the tale"
There was good rain on Knob Creek
yesterday evening. 1t covered only a
narrow strip.
We have no stirring event this week.
Considerable sickness from drought and
heat, which last is excessive. Politics
have but little interest. We are for the
man that does right, whether he be
called Wing, Democrat or Republican.
We don't care what you call us, SO you
don't call us Radicals. We want men
in Congress unpledged and indepen-
dent, ready to vote for any measure
that may advance our prosperity. A
war Democrat is more inconsistent and
treacherous than any other politician,
and we hate him worse and to this class
belongs ANDREW JOHNSON. M.

PROFITS OF A DAILY NEWSPAPER. :
We have several times of late been asked
if we would start daily next summer, III
view of the Increased business that Is
anticipated from the completion of the
Sheboygan & Fond du Lac Railroad
But we have invariably failed to see the
inducements to warrant such an enter
prise. If our queslIoners think differ
emily, we will call their attention to z
fact or two IN point.
Fond du Lac boasts Of population
of $4,000. The only daily published III
that city, the Commonwealth was suspen-
ded few weeks since, after a struggle OF
over two years during which it sunk
several hundred dollars for its proprietor.
Oshkosh claim larger population than
Fond du Lac, and the proprietors Of the
Northeastern have issued daily Tor the
past eleven months, at loss OF 81 600.
With a good deal Of pluckiness however
they have cut down the size OF their
paper to still keep it going until
Oshkosh gets big enough to support a
daily newspaper. making up It's let's

cost for one year.

OUR SOLDIER.
BY A. r. T.

BY A. R. t.
We met but once, but serious thoughts
Before my vision came;
For often 1 had heard them speak.
OF brave DIR -'s a-,,e
Brave in the fold, true to is flag,
A comrade gay and free;
Beloved by all his Company,
Ar honored man was he.
We met, twas in throng; but I
Would fain have bowed my head,
In honor to the worthy brave
Whose blood was freely shed;
While fair Col .mbia's staiwart sons
Were battling for our Land,
And keeping back the enemy
As with a magic wand.
Twas in tn sc dreadful days of war,
When blood and tears, did flow,
Whose memory still paies the cheek
And wrings the heart tn woe:
Twas ther this gallant officer
Wa, mong the martyrs found
Not dead but pala and sick with pain,
From that dark dreadful wound.
Those DAYS e past, thank Heaven at last;
God grant they come no more.
True hearts have welcomed home their loved,
AT many a cottage door.
And our young soldier too returned,
And crowned with glorious fame;
But all, he came not as ne Went
A youth of vigorous frame.
Yet his young bride spared the grief
Which wrings the widows heart,
While many a lone one in her home
Is suffering from the dart.
The Southern meniitIs did their work,
But Heaven records each blow,
How stern the retribution
Times records soon VIII show.
Aud now before that dreadful wound
Youths srrightiiness has lied.
But surely twas a glorious cause
In which the soldier bled-
His manly form is less erect,
His step less proud aid light,
Than when upon thtt fatal day
He entered IN the ii 1t.
And now throu ghout the patriots lie
A patriots mark he bears,
Then honor him. = prouder badge
No veteran ciieftain wears.
