MIR. George Peabody.

The steamer Scotia, now on her way
from England to New York, numbers
among her list of passengers the benevo-
lent and truly good George Peabody. 1t
is intimated that this unexpected though
welcome visit is on a mission of peace;
that loving England as he does his native
country, he is concerned in regard to the
feeling created in the former by Mr..
Summers recent speech in the Senate on
the Alabama question. M. Peabody,
remarks the Philadelphia Ledger, will
probably be agreeably surprised to find
our commercial and banking circles as
"calm as q summers morning" on this
and all other International questions.

Negro military Organizations.

A company of negroes in fancy uni
forms and guns at right shoulder shift,
marched through our streets this morn
ing, preceded by company band OF
music. White men are not allowed this
privilege, but have to stand tsmely by
and see the lazy, idle negro strutting in
his red stripes and the effrontery of ig-
norance strengthened by insolence. Ne
gro drilling is going on every day almost
in the vicinity Of Lincoln Chapel, on
South street, and the woods are full OF
armed negroes who live by stealing and
robbing, and do hot hesitate to commit
murder to conceal smaller crimes. This
state of sffairs cannot long exist 1t
will either grow better or worse. and
that fast. Do the negroes and their
leaders-such as Barbour Lewis-want
another war, or even a Memphis riot =
If so, they can be accommodated at short
notice. They defy the law and scorn to
work. The race, we are glad to see, is
diving out, and its total extinction is the
only solution of this hateful question.
They mistake forbearance aud pity for
fear in the whites, and are determined, it
seems, that this irreprassible conflict shall
not die out So let it be, then, The doom
of the African is as fixed as that of the
Indian, and be hasteus it by every act of
violence aud disregard of law. Why
don't they 60 to the 6elds2 Too
lazy. That insolent company thst
marched through the streets this morn
ing, could cultivate fifty small farms, at
least, and make an honest living for
themselves and families. But it is more
glorious to carry musket and fight i'm
agiuary enemies, and to be told by those
Who use them that the bottom rail is on
top" So 1t is, bpt it will be knocked of
one of these days and broken. If the
negroes have grain Of sense left, they
will 90 to work and quit al their foolish
ness. The war is over now, and Mr..
Negro has either to return to the normal
position of laborer or siarve. The
white people ore able, not only to take
care of themselves. but to protect their
stables, patches and henrooste.

A Noble ACT.

We take pleasure in publishing and
endorsing the following, which appears
in the Grenada Sentinel of June 9Th:
One of the noblest acts we have heard
of for long time occurred at the depot
q few days ago. It seems that collec-
ton was being taken for the Confederate
orphan children of the LaHderdele Asy-
lum, when it became the turn of a young
gentlemen unknown to nearly every one
present, nazei Harry Newson, of Mem
phis. Being assured that the collection
was truly for the purpose mentioned, and
not having enough money at hand to
give in such noble cause, he deliberate
" pulled out handsome gold watch
worth about $3.50 and gave it, with the
expression that he was sorry he could
not give more. Such pnselfish and gen.
erous benevolence entities the young
gentleman to the love of every good citi-
zen Of the land. Mr.. Newson is the ex.
press messenger bstween this point and
Memphis, and as We have known him for
a long time, cheerfully sag that be Is one
of the most exemplary young men OF
that city, and universally respected there.
He will yet make his mark in the world.

Elk President Pierce has been in Wash.
ington, and left on Saturday for New
Hampshire. He has alluded freely to
public matters. In conversations relat-
ing to foreign complications, he spoke
favorsbly of the appointment of Mr.. Mot
ley, but expressed the opinion that it was
no time for thoughtless and loose dsolsm.
alton on foreign issues. The state of
things, on the whole view, he remarked,
was delicate and critical. and that gen.
srsl war might result in effects and con-
sequences of a more serious nature than
any one could foretsll.

The fact was mentioned last week that
man had been found banging dead near
Morning Sun, in this county, last
Wednesday morning, but no particulars
could be obtained at the time. This
morning we met a gentleman from the
vicinity, who furnished the following
facts concerning the affair. The man
found dead was named James Barnes.
He was raised about eighteen miles
south of Nathez, Miss, and was twenty
eight or thirty years old. He has been
about the neighborhood occasionally
almost ever since the war, and was known
as good hand to work. Some months ago
he ives discharged by Mr. ]. M. Brooks, &
good citizen of the neighborhood, for
drinking. But lately he came back, and
after promising to do better he was en-
ployed. Last Sunday week Mr.. Brooks
started to Memphis from his home, which
is sone eighteen miles from the city.
That night Barnes stole horse from Mr.
Brooks, and some articles of clothing and
bedding which he could carry, and es-
capped in the direction of Holly Springs.
Tive young men pursued and captured
him at Jacksonville, Mississippi, thirty
Eve miles from his starting point. They
brought him back, and Wednesday
night Mr.. Brooks and four others kept
guard over him, intending the next
day to bring him to Memphis. About
two clock in the morning five masked
and armed men rushed into the room
and seized the prisoner. Only two of the
guard were awake and resistance would
have been folly. The next morning the
body of the horse thief was found swing
ing to limb and pierced by six bullets,
FIVE miles from the house where they
took him. No one in the neighborhood
has any idea where the yelled horsemen
came from or who they were.

A man named Ferdinand Priestlie, a
Frenchman, who lived on the Horn Lake
road, nine miles from the city, was muir
dered in the road, last Saturday, 10 Non
connsh bottom, just beyond the bridge,
four or FIVE miles from the city. The
proper authorities went out and held an
inquest yesterday morning. The jury
returned a verdict "that the deceased,
then and there being dead, came to his
death from blow or blows over the
head with musket in the hands Of some
person or persons to the jury unknown"
A desperate struggle had taken place in
the road, and it is believed that Mr..
Priest.ie was waylaid BY negro
who has been lurking in that nelghbor-
hood, and was murdered on the supposl-
ton that he had money. The deceased
was unmarried, and has no relatives
about here except brother, who took
charge of the body. He was quiet,
inoffensive citizen, and was not known to
have an enemy in the world.
