we have nothing to fear for the perpetuity of
mankind from the intermiXture of whites and
blacks. II has long been practiced, and ex-
perience has shown us the result of all possi-
Bile combinations of the two races; and my
opinion, based upon scientific observations, Is
that the whites will eventually, by amalgama-
ton, absorb the whole negro and Indian ele-
nent of the population, and unless an over
yhelming influx of Chinese shall throw un-
expected obstacles in the way, we have
nothing TO fear from that source. But, gen.

SHOOTING AT CAMP HALLECK.-A desperate
shooting case occurred on Thursday, near
Camp Halleck, which will probably result in
the death of Miss Sallie Whitmore. a former
resident Of this place, and Of Edward Carr. of
Company /, Third Regiment L. s. Cavalry.
II appears, from the facts that come to us,
that Carr was in a dance house and got into
difficulty with some other soldiers, and was
badly beaten. He then went to the camp and
procured his carblne aud returned 10 the
scene OF his former difficulty. He fired the
weapon, and i; was supposed that he intended
10 hit the Sergeant, but the ball hit the young
woman in the groin, inhictiug n frightful
wound, which will probably prove fatal. Carr
was badly hurt in the scuifle and will proba-
bly, die.
