Triop men. who have always been true to

Congress. | am happy to state, that while
ne rad Of Outrages and murders by both
whites and blacns in other counties, for
onjuion sake, there is nothing of that kind
ever occurred in this county. The negroes
are peaceable, industrious and law-ablding.
vbiie the whites give them every opportu-
nitv 10 live in peace, and TO make a support.
They are generally out of debt. and great
many. BY the aid of our old citizens are buy
Ing lands and settling themselves perma-
neutly among us. The Duck Hill beat has
about six hundred negro voters, and every
one voted against the constitution tlast year.
and | will state that | have not heard OF
single negro in this beat who will change
his vote on the 30th November. They are
all for Dent, Grant and Congress" and the
National Republican party, We need no
speakers from abroad to carry the above
ticket.
Crops i'm this county were very good un-
I'll recently. The corn crop is tolerably
promising. but.the cotton crop will fall far
short of our hope and expectation. 1t Is
openipg very slowly. The health OF the
county is very good. The peace and quie
tude of the county was never better.
Our merchants are bringing on their new
goods aud making other preparations for
good fall trade. We are to have several new
mercantile houses here this fall. Messrs.
small aud Kent will open large dry goods
and grocery house LIST October, as also,

must return thanks to my friend, the ac-
c0mmodating clerk of THE CLARION, for
copy of the Premium List fol the State
Fair but regret to notice one important
omission in the list of premiums, which is
"for 1000 feet of the best, smoothest, and
most regular sawed lumber" There are
probably 500 saw-mills in Mississippi, and
1t is very important item in building
houses, railroads and steamboats,, TO have
regular sawed lumber, and | think some in
ducements should be offered to make saw
yers and pIoprietors of Mills improve in
their particular calling, which is probably
more necessary than that of any other me-
chanical department of the whole country.
hope your great State Fair will be sue
cess, and shall take great pleasure in attend
Ing it. The Fair pamphlet you send me is
a neat piece OF work. both as to its arrange
ment, printing. binding. and the variety OF
type useC i'm it, execution, and if it is fair
sample OF the work of the new" Clarion
Job Office. | feel satisfied you will get the
blue RibbOn" on the Book Binding and
Printing" question. Very truly.
