The Comet
MEMPHIS. August 2

MEMPHIS, August 2, 1863.
Editors appeal: The local editor of
that bright luminary, the Sun, has
undertaken to frighten "all the world
and the rest of mankind" by stating
the comet, now to be seen in the
Northern hemisphere, that,
astronomers assure us that his comet
will approach nearer the earth than any
comet ever did before, and that either the
earth or the comet will haye TO change its
course, or a collision is inevitable. This
comet is said to be many thousand times
larger than the earth. 1t is a solid mass
of fire, with q tail Of fire that would reach
around the earth more than a hundred
times, and a.collisiOn with our planet is
not an event to be very ardently desired.
VIII the learned Iuminary, in its
manifest effort to eXtinguish the earth
upon which it designs to shed its
6enignaRt rays, condescend to be a
little more specific in a matter so vital
tous poor inhabitants o. this sublunary
world, and inform US Whdt dstrono-
neTS have assured us'' of a fact so
terrific in its consequences to all the
interests of mankind? 1.-THE Sun has
told the truth, we would all do well to
wind up affairs and prepare for the
imminent catastrophy. Hence, the
Importance of more exact, detailed
and authentic knowledge than that
which the solar organ has given.
More light, Oh! Sun.

who had just committed a burglary
and were making off with the spOils.
Wright put off after them, but they
made down Second street at a 2:40
speed, which by the lime they reached
Union street completely blOwed
friend Wright. Deputy Constable
Hight and Officer Kelly here joined in
the chase and overhauled the black
marauders Just as they struck the
bluff. They were taken to the Sec
Ond District station. The clothes that
they had stolen were dropped in the
race, and are to be seen at the First
District statiOnhOuse on Adams street.
We r in receipt of a letter from
Mr.. II. n. BOles, of Drew county,
Ark, who says that tone II. G..
Biggs, late of Tunica county, Miss,
who, after numbering a man named
B. G.. Whitehead, was making his
way westward to get into the Indian
Nation. At the Sabine river he en-
countered a body of negro militia who
ordered him to halt. He refused and
a fight ensued in which he killed two
of the negroes and was himself NOR
tally wounded, dying in the course
of a few minutes" Mr.. BOles says he
writes this to let the friends and enc
mics of the deceased know his fate.
1t seems from information which
we have since received that Friday
was a regular dies ~inf0uStuS on the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad.
In addition to the sad and frightful
accident to Mr.. Decker, already pub
lished by us, the Huntsville Demo
cr0t details the following chapter OF
accidents which occurred on that day.
GA passenger jumped off the same
train, while in motion, at Cherokee,
and broke one of his legs. VIM. Nc
Bee, a fireman, got on the top of the
Express train from Memphis, when
near Buggard ROOst Creek, this
morning and was knocked down by
collision with the bridge. He was
discovered, after a considerable inter
val, lying on the top of the car, with
his neck broken. He was a brother
in-laW of Mr.. VIM. Glenn and Mr..
John Glenn, engineers on the Mem
phis and Charleston Railroad, and
resident in this city. His body was
brought to this city on the train,
which arrived at 1913"
We noticed on Saturday the de-
parture Eastward of our friend Sam.
c. Weaver, late general ticket seller
of the Memphis and Charleston Rail-
road. We were a little premature in
the announcement, Mr.. Weaver hay
ing left yesterday, instead of Friday,
He will be gone about six weeks, the
object of his trip being physical and
mental recuperatiOn. Mr.. Weaver
has been for several years connected
with the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad in the capacities of clerk,
passenger conductor, ticket agent, etc,
and during this time has been q
devoted servant of his company, al
the same time winning to himself
hundreds and thousands of friends by
his uniformly urbane and polite con
duct and gentlemanly bearing. He
leaves us armed with letters of credit
and introduction, that any man might
be proud of. In common with his
host of personal friends we wish him
a pleasant journey and a safe return

MURDER IN ARKANSAS.
The Keeper of a Provision Boat
Murdered by Negroes.
Two of the Murderers in DURANGO at
this Place.

on Saturday afternoon w. N. Stall
ings. the keeper of a provision or sup
ply boat, was murdered by negroes at
BiedsOe's Landing, Council Bend, Ar
kansas, (sOme fifty miles below the
city, under the following circum-
stances as detailed to us by John Bry-
ant, a negro boy arrested by Sergeant
Brown yesterday, as accessory to the
murder. We use his w words:
ave were employed by MI. - "a
white man whose name we Withhold at
the request of the police to work in
the bend. On Saturday we had half
a day to ourselves, and he told Us
that if we would haul some cord wood
he would give US some whisky. l
hauled one load when he gave
US a pint of whisky. AT
ter l got my whisky he called me
to n side and said to me, THAT man
on the supply boat wants to get at our
women; l want you to rob him, and
give him a good beating.' did not
understand him and told him so.
Louis Pearson (anOther negro), was
present and he then talked to him.
Louis said "all right" and we went
down to the boat. The man (Stallings)
was there and Louis told him that the
women he wanted would come down
that night. Louis then asked if he
had any flour. He answered yes, and
went back to the stern of the boat to
get it. As he did so Louis jumped
over the bar and grabbed his (Stal-
lings') pistols. As soon as he got hold
of them he said to Stallings, Damn
you! you wanted to fool with my wife,
did you?" The man denied it, but
Louis called him a liar. The
man then commenced begging for
life and | told Louis not to
kill him. The mar offered us every
thing in his boat if we would not kill
him, and two dollars besides. l told
Louis to take it and lethim go. Louis
cursed me and told me to gather up
things. | was scared of him and
stopped down and picked up some to-
bacco. Stallings managed to get out
on shore meanwhile, and Louis
taking a table cloth or sheet that was
there, put it on the floor and COM
menced to pour everything he. could
/ get hold of into it,. As soon as he got
| it piled full he told me to take it, ana
| did so and started out. L got a
chance. though, when Louis wa after
other plumber, and left it and got off
the boat. l started to camp, but be-
fore l went far | heard a pistol go of,
and I turned back. When l got near
the boat l found Stallingsdead. They
told me Louis did it. That's all |
know, except Louis said that he did
il when l saw him.

DISTINGUISHED VISITOR. - Hon.
Edward NJ. Winthrop, of Sprinheld,
H., was in the city yesterday, accom-
panied by his wife and daughter. Mr..
Winthrop was fer many years the cor
respondent OF the New York Timer,
and the intimate friend of the late
Hon. Henry j. Raymond. His object
in visiting Memphis was to have two
large bunions removed by DR.. Lane.
They were two painful bunions of
the great toes, with its Netdtdrsus
bone, n containing twenty-seven
and the other fOrty-three roots. Mr..
Winthrop declared to a friend that he
read the APPEAL while DIR. Lane
performed the operation, and that DR..
Lane was the most skillful operator
he had ever known. (Mr. Winthrop
had the roots Of the bunion
in a piece of paper. Some
were as large as peas, and more
about as big as flax seed.) Nh. Win
throp dined with DR.. Lane in the az
ternoon. He said the dining room of
the Peabody Hotel was the finest he
ever saw. This Is certainly q compii-
ment when we consider that MI. Win
throp travelled nine years in Europe.
