The Selma (Ala.) Times says Gas an evi-
dence of the increasing disposition on the
part of immigrants to settle on the fertile
lands and under the sunny skies of the
South, we arc gratified to learn that Col. B.
NJ. Woolsey, Superintendent of Lands and
Immigration, has received probably the
most extensive order for lands ever sent to
any agent in the United States. The order
is colossal in its proportions, being for
81, 040. .0C0 acres. Is not this convincing
proof that the people of Europe are
awakening to the fact that we are in posses
sion of the finest country and the finest
climate on the face of the earth?" :

A few weeks ago n young man named
Barmore, detective. Of Nashville, Tenn,
was taken from a railroad train by gang
of masked men, since which time his fate
has been mystery until Saturday last On
that day a negro found the dead body of a
white man in Duck River, near Columbia.
This proved to be tho remains of the
missing detective. A rope was around his
neck, the end forming moose, MS if he had
been tied to something. The hands were
tied behind his back with linen handker-
chief. A valuable diamond ring was on
one finger. He was evidently not mur-
defed for money.
A report was received at Corpus Christi,
Toxas. on the I'd inst, to the effect that
200 Indians had attacked the ranchos of
Los Angeles and Los Amios, on the road to
Brownsville, and slaughtered the entire
population, numbering forty men, women
and children. Troops were ut once sent in
pursuit. 1t was surmised that the Indians
we're disguised Mexican cattle thieves, and
that the extent of their outrages was exag-
gerated.
