words whether Mr.. Senter would be cx-

take the matter in hand Well. the peo-

fiance, and now they await, with strong
hearts and unquailing nerves. whatever

From Dyer County.

Correspondence of the Memphis Avalanche.
DYERsBURG, Tenn, Aug. 2, 1862
One Leech, who claims to be aCanadian,
and minister so called, Of the Metho
dist Church North, has for some months
past been preaching around at various
schoolhouses, and finally let out his true
doctrine aud object-miscegena
termarriage, black and white, (black first
you observe), in fact, mixing in general.
Rev. Ii. Avery, of the Methodist Church
South, published card denouncing him
and his doctrine. At Sunday School
picnic last Saturday, Leech came with
about half dozen armed adherents, for
the purpose of raising row, and forced
himself into the stand after Rev Mr..
Mahan had made his address, and en-
deavored to speak but was interrupted as
they said they did not invite him and he
was not wanted. He made further at.
tempts, denouncing Mr.. Avery, when
there was such storm of Indignation,
with considerable exhibition of navy
skies, that, if it had not been for the
presence of women and the efforts of Mr.
Avery and few others, Leech aud his
party would have been utterly torn to
! pieces. The excitement was great, ex-
tending to all classes of society and pol
itics-even an ex- Federal soldier oppos-
ed him, being so disguised with the man

The u. 5. after the Ra,Iroads

The United States government has
made formal demand on the Nashville
and Chattanooga road, for the delivery
to an agent appointed for that purpose,
its rolling stock, depots, shops, etc, to
satisfy claims held by the government
against that road. The Company have
resolved to resist the demands through
the courts. Whether this will interfere
with the relations of this road to the
Nashville and Northwestern, we not
know.

Negroes I'm Arms.

From the Flemingsburg (Ky.) Democrat.
According to previous unders landing
a number of the colored population of
this section assembled near town to give
8 picnic to the g United Brothers of
Friendship" and the Grand Army of
the Republic" hereabouts One of the
features of the occasion was the parade of
platoon of the Grand Army of the
Republic" carrying arms and marching
under the flag of the old 9 home guard
organization of this place. They march
ed through the principal streets of our
town to the music Of drum and fife, at
the same time going through a regular
military drill, the officer in command
giving orders at the top of his voice.
Why the government should place arms
in the hands of secret negro organiza-
tons in the peaceful State of Kentucky
we cannot fully understand The race is
in no danger of violence at the hands o.
the white people in Kentucky and there
is no excuse whatever for their paradine
through our streets with guns which are
always hostile to the peaceful interests
of government where liberty exists
With the exception of bearing arms anc
drilling they are quiet and orderly and
kdeserve credit for this much.

The Chinese immigrants to this coun-
try mas be regarded as a vast labor-sa-
wing machine, extending its operations
over wide expanse, increasing with the
number of immigrants. The natural,
the inevitable result will be that the la
borers whom these displace will not be
pushed down, but pushed up. The de-
mand for labor will be wonderfully in
creased, on account of its cheapness in
the lines occupied by the Chinese. The
men who do the hard work on our rail
WAYS will discover new demands whereby
they can make as good wages as former
". or better, with less of dTudgery. The
poor washerwoman, who now performs
her drudgery for the support of her chill
dren, will find new demands for her la
Dor, and will hire Chinese TO do her wash
ing for few pennies while she is earn
} ing shillings at some easier and better
employment 1t is certain that the cheap
ening of labor by machinery or other
means analogous thereto will greatly III
crease the demand for labor, and do it Z
special service. The Chinese will be t

the only prominent candidate against
him for the Conservative support is Col.
