Northern People WELCOME at .b. Som

TO the Editor Of tile I7.i6une-S1R: In q
letter to you from Tennessee, dated the 4tb
ult., stated that Northern men would re-
celve hearty welcome from Southern peo
pie generally. if they come to travel, reside
or settle. The only kind of persons for
whom have head them express contempt
is the class Of advcnturers who come here
to obtain Office, instead of to cultivate the
soil These they call carpet-baggers, and
they run their own risk if they choose to
fish IN the muddy sen of politics. All other
people are welcome here. Such is the
opinion expressed by all / have conversed
with. From Memphis to Augusta, along
the entire line of the Memphis and Charles
ton Kallroad, is Il country possessing every
advantage of climate and soil that would
please Northern farmers. Instead of bleak
and wlntry storms lasting till May, they
can commence to plow for an early crop at
the end OF this month. EARLY potatoes,
apples and vegetables and fruits can be
shipped from that region six weeks or more
before Northern crops are ready, and realize
the enhanced price obtainable for the early
yield. Railroad facilities abound connect
ing the entire plateau with the North North
west, Northeast. as well as East, West and
South. The climate is delightful. and even
in summer, rarely exceeds ninety degrees.
am told, winter IS not over six to eight
weeks Farming, ten or eleven months of
theyear. Productions cotton, wheat, corn.
barley, rye, oats, potatoes, white and sweet:
In great perfection. Vegetables of all
Kinds. Fruits--apples, peaches, pears,
plums, etc, and berries in profusion.
Grapes, just the place for vineyards. Hops,
better than In Kent, can produce two bales
and more to the acre. In fact, everything
that grows at the North will grow luxuriant,
y at nearly any point of Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee. West, North and South Caro-
lima, Northwest Georgia, and North Ala
bama and Mississippi, with the same
amount of skill and labor that is now ap-
Piled to the soil of the more Northern
States. Land is cheaper at the South now
than 1t will ever be again. Some to be had
rs low as two and three dollars per acre,
from that upward. The people wish North
ern and British capital among them now.
Slavery is dead and buried. Labor in great
demand. am authorized to donate land
to actual settlers. Besides the beautiful
central plateau described much of the land
In Kentucky, Northern and East Tennessee
and West Virginia, is suited for Northern
settlers, and the climate is good. Mines
and minerals abound and nothing is now
wanting but capital and labor to transform
the South into garden. Ia my next,

mcnt of 1000 leading members of the medical pro-
fession, some twenty years ago, it's proprietor was
well aware that it could not wholly escapo the
penalty attached to new and useful preparations.
He, therefore, endeavored to invest it with tho
strongest possible safeguard against counterfeit
ers, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult
and dangerous. It vas submitted. to distinguish
cd chemists for analysis, and pronounced by thom
the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its purity
ana properties having been thus ascertained,
samples OF the article were forwarded to TO- 900
physcians including all tho leading practitioners
IN the United States, for purposes of experiment.
A circular, requesting trial of the preparation
and report OF the result, accompanied each
specimen. 1000 of the most eminent medical men
in the Union promptly responded Their opinions
OF the article were unanimously favorable. such a
preparation, they said, had long been wanted by
tho profession, reliance could be placed on

militia Fiends,


The four cofored militiamen, named Will
liam Porter, Monroe Allen, Hector Acton,
and VIM. Reese, connected with the force
stationed at Marion. Crittenden County,
Arkansas, who perpetrated fiendish and
beastly crime upon several women living in
the vicinity OF the camp, were arraigned be-
fore a court-martial on the 18th instant. and
were convicted Of the alleged charges. and
shot by order of the court on the following
day.
The vote Of the court, in deciding the case
OF all the parties, was unanimous for con-
viction. Upon the close OF the trial the
criminals were confined to the guardhousc.
and were allowed the company of the col
ored chaplains connected with the force,
who administered religious consolation to
their troubled minds. till the time arrived
for their execution, which was formally an
nounced to the prisoners IL half hour pre-
vious to their death.
The intervening moments between the
announcement and the time they were shot
were OF dreadful agony and wailing, mingled
with cries to the officers to abatc their pun
ishment and prayers to the Givcr of their
lives for pardon aud mercy Their piteous
and loud cries rent the air, and were heard
throughout the neighborhood, sending
chill of horror to ALL The men and officers
of the garrison were, however, unanimous
In their condemnation of the outrage, and
not word of remonstrunce, or an intima-
tion OF resistance to the execution of the
sentence Of the court, was heard. On the
contrary, it was feared by the officers, from
the excited feelings of the privates, (par-
ticularly of those in the same company of
the criminals. that previous to the promul-
cation of the order of the court martial they
would break through the guard and deal out
vengeance themselves to the prisoners, who
had so cruelty disgraced them
4 few minutes previous to the execution,
the prisoners were led out from the barri-
cade short distance, where their coffins
were laid side by side, few feet apart, and
each tied to stake driven in the ground at
the end of the coffins, with their backs to
the same. Forty men, all colored, and Sc
lected from every company, under COM
mand of Lieut.. Gregory, colored. were de-
tailed to shoot the criminals They were
drawn up in two ranks At the command
of the officer the front rank leveled their
guns at the men and fired, the fatal shots
killing each of them instantly. squad of
men was then detailed to place the bodies in
their collins and bury them. The affair was
witnessed by the entire militia force, with
the exception of several scouting parties
The names of the women who were out
ragged are as follows: Mrs j. Reeves, Mrs
JAS. Watson. Mrs. Galloway, Mrs. McGcc,
and Miss Sweptscn. All were married and
had families. save the latter.
