Eloquent Extract.

The following eloquent extract is taken
from an editorial in Father Ryan's Ban.
ner Of the South:
"There are men who desert the affairs
of a lost cause, round which they once
stood with blood in their hearts pntil,
for liberation, and who kneel to Offer
homage at the alter of successful wrong
There are men who trample under foot
the very standards that once hvatel
proudly over them. There are men base
enough to lift their hands against the very
rights for which they once upliftei
swords. We are not Euoh. For us, prin:
eiple is principle, righ; is Fight-yester-

ANoTIIE HORROR :
Three Men and ono Woman
Killed.

AllAeus
The telegraph reports that one Of the
most horrible tragedies ever known to
have occurred in the vicinity Of Memphis,
took place on Friday night, three miles
northeast If Raleigh Springs, about
twelve miles from Memphis:
Three unknown white men went to tho
house Of Colonel Dickens while he aid
two men named Wilson and Humphreys
we're eating supper about T O'clock,
knocked ut the door, which was opened
by Humphreys, when without word be
wus shat through the body several times
with shot. Colonel Dickens and Wilson
rose from the table, when the assassins
with knives and pistols in their hands,
rushed into the room, putting out the
lights and commenced firing at Dickens
and Wilson. Dickens received one ball in
the body, and with Humphreys nlnagel
to crawl out Of the room and found their
way to neighbors.
When the alarm was given, the neigh.
bors aroused, went to Dickens house. In
the yard, near the front door, the body Of
the negro woman, Colonel Dickens ser,
vent, was found, Wilson's body was
found in the room with eight shots through
it, and literally cut to pieces Hpmph-
reys Was also found badly wounded, he
having secreted himte.f after getting into
the yard.
After concentrating their bloody work,
the assassins plundered the house, taking
everything of value and riAing the pock-
cts Of Wilson and the negro, They took
two valuable horses from the stable and
made their escape, since which nothing
has been heard from thsm, although the
country was aroused and diligeut search
was made by citizens and police from this
city,
The Memphis Appeal, of Saturday, cor.
roborates the above and adds:
At the inquest nothing that would in
any manner serve as clue to the detec.
I ton 81 me murderers was adduced. 66U iio
mel Dickens and Humphreys, both, say
that they would not even know the men
again were they 10 see them.
Colonel Dickens being an OIL and well
known citizen, the report went through
the city yesterdy morning like wild fire,
and soon the most exaggerated rumors
we're in circulation, not only as to affaip
itself but as to the cases which led there
TO. These rumors, being mere specula-
tions, We will not repeat. An unfortu-
nate difficulty, which occurred in the
Chancery Court room some weeks ago,
and an intricate lawsuit which has been
pending lorg time and has created a
great deal of bitterness and bad blood be-
tween Colonel Dickens, lis son, DR.. Sam.
Dickens, and Captain Patterson, and
others, about the affairs of Wade, Bolton
& Patterson, has been connected gith the
affair and freely mentioned as the cause.
This, We understand, Colonel Dickens says
most emphaticallv, is not the case.
