lished, and probably never will be. The
means of violence and oppression are
abundant, but the complaints of the
wronged people travel on tards wings.
1t was reported yesterday that the
negro militia had nearly all lett the
ighborhood of Marion for Mississippi
County, above, whsfe they will of course
re.euact the fearful scenes of plduder
and ruin, and personal Injury perpetra-
ted in other portions of the unfortunate
State.
The follo~ing d,spasch, which VIC
find in the New York TrtJane, tells
what became of the three missing men
referred to above
A citizen from French Bayou, Arkan-
sas, Some ten miles above Marion, re-
ports that a body of militia shot three
men near his house, oh Sunday. The
Officer IN command told him that they
had been tried by court martial, Oh a
charge of being Ku Klux; and ordered
to be shot to death with musketry.
The Memphis A0dldnche, ofthe 10Th,
contains additional details, too revolving
to be published.

TIME DOES IT.-Time has a won
derful power in taking the conceit out
of persons. When young man first
emerges from the schools and enters
upon the career of life, it is painfully
amusing to witness his sclf-sufhoiency
he would have ill the world to under
stand that he has mlearhed OUT" that
he is master Of all knowledge: and can
unravel mysteries. But as he grows
older he grows wiser; he learns that he
knows a great deal less than he sup
posed he did and by the time he
reaches the thrce-score years, he is pre-
pared to adopt, as his own, the senti-
meut of John Wesly: "When | was
young was sure Of everything; in d
few years, having been mistaken thou
sand times, was not half as sufe Of
ttlost things as I aas before. At pres.
ent, I am hardly sure of anything but
what God has revealed to man."

Whether the negro as race is to have
his condition improved by public edu.
cation and the exercise of the franchise,
is yet a problem for the reformcrs Of the
United States TO work out for them
selvas. The disciples Of Wilberforcs,
in England, ohe ycaf ago, abandoned
the attempt as hopeless, after over thirty
years trial in Jamaica and other West
India Islands. Whether q different
and more fortunate result is to be at
tailed In this country, remains to be
seen, and NE Of the South are disposed
to lend our earnest and sincere aid in
afEordiug opportunity for trial. Before
the war, as a general thing, all negroes
appeared happy, comfortably clad and
industrious. We rarely found them
begging or engaged in menial pursuits
But few of poverty's resources to keep

A BLOODY DUEL.

| lHe iuuouo uuShu6 S'ouau v" 'he
Metairie Ridge, known as ''The Oaks,"
was the scene yesterday morning of a
sanguinary duel between two young men
of this city, which has rarely had its
parallel in the annals of the code either
in this country or in Europe. The
antagonists were, the one native cre-
ole Of New Orleans, the other French:
man by birth; the provocation a blow
in the face, at the hand of the creole;
the weapons were broadswords; the hour
day break. Arrived on the field ac-
compahicd by their seconds, the COM
batants stripped to the waist, and sword
in hand, in the freezing air of the
morning. sprung at each other like
tigers. There was no hesitation, or
playing to try each others skill. A
few lungcs and cults were successfully
parried when suddenly an uptut from
the Frenchman's sword wounded his
antagonist in the right arm. The
riposte from the creole laid open the
Frcrthmau's left cheek, laying open
the inside and exposing his teeth
Nothing daunted, the wounded man
stepped back, had a handkerchief bound
around his face and again put himself
in attitude of offence.
His first lunge penetrated the breast
Of his opponent, between the rib and
the skin, but it was made with such
relentless force that it passed also
through the off.arm. An attempt was
made at this moment by the seconds to
stop the matter at that point, but the
mai, viii thcshandkerchicf around his
jaws rushed at the second who was
anxious to settle the matter, sword in
hand, asseverating that naught should
quiet his animosity except cut across
his throat. The battle was renewed and
lasted until the creole had received
eight wounds and the other six-all Sc
we're and painful, but none, it is hoped
dangerous. Both men displayed ex-
traordiuary courage, animosity and en-
durance; and during the course of the
bloody encounter, neithor was willing
to give up the contest until both had to
let their hands fall helpess to their
sides from loss of blood and the pain of
wounds. The parties were carried home;
after having their wounds dressed;
and though the creole had two more
wounds, his situation was more COM
Portable and less critical than that of
his antagonist.-M 0. Crescent, 1aM.

bodiments of grimy filth, in the shape
of black chiffoniers, rake the offal and
sweepings Of the stores and dwellings,.
That THERE is D COMPANION and brighter
picture, we admit; bit of the two op-
posing tendencies, which will win, is
tho problem now before us. Eng
land bas already tacitly acknowledged
her failure to elevate the negro race to
the Caucasian standard. Liberia has
admitted the same. The history Of
Hayti Is one of pitiful retrogression,
and eveh the Africa of to-day, when
compared with the time ahen Carthage;
Alexandria and Numantia fourished,
forces upon us the same dispiriting con-
clusion. If 5000 years of edual op-
portunity with the Caucasian race has
failed to develop the negro into a high
er type of humanity, We must not ex-
pect much from one paltry generation.
Far be it from us to deny them another
opportunity; the whole tendency Of
public opinion in the South is to the
couttaty; but it is only fair and right
that they should carve their way up
ward by their own merits, and win pO
sition by their own deserts. legal
enoetmshts cannot change natural laws,
while peace, quiet and harmony may
level a rough hill, now feared in the
path of their progress.

TERRIBLE DEArH:-A colored man
met with an awful death in the Neigh:
hood of New Paris, KY, few bistts s
since. A neighbor, white man, had
killed his hogs and left them out a. Il
night. The negro Undertook to Steal
one, and was in such a hurry to secure
the pork that he forgot to remove the
gambrel-stick: 70 reach his home II
was necsssafy to ofoss fsHSs. I'd d.
ing 50 he placed the hog On the top
rail, and it is supposed that it slipped
at any rate, the negro's head was caught
in the opening Of the hind legs, and
his neck was broken by the stick. Hs
was found next morning dead, the hog
on one side of the fence and he on .ths
other, with his head fast, as described:
