says:
This place, which has been talked of for

some have returned, bringing tidings of the
great value eff the district and the immense

is about half way to Los Angeles. Ore
has been assayed from there that went up
into the thousands, and it is reported that
there is large quantities of it in forma-

continuance. Water is the only necessity
that is not at hand, and that is not nearer

The Indians are troublesome, and in some
cases have made hostile demonstrations
There is a settlement of Mormons near

EXCITEMENT Ar STEVENSON.
Soldiers, Ku-EkIux and Darkies.

From passengers on the Chattanooga
train yesterday we learn that serious dis
turbances and great excitement prevailed
at Stevenson, Ala. We are not in posses
sion of the full details, but will give what
information we have in regard to the mat
ter. 1t appears that considerable disturb
ances have for some time existed In that
locality among the negroes. On Monday
a negro man was arrested in the vicinity
for some aggravated offense, and was
placed in custody. About IL o'clock
twenty-five men on horseback, disguised
as Ku-Klux, rode up to the town, and forci-
bly, taking him from custody, took the
negro a short distance and left him for
dead. The horsemen then departed. The
negro is so badly beaten that it is thought
that he cannot live. Immediately after the
transaction, the negroes in the vicinity
armed themselves with guns, pistols,
knives, and whatever weapons they could
procure, and created the greatest con-
sternation and disorder. In response to
the emergency, a detail of soldiers was
dispatched from Chattanooga to Stevenson
to quell the outbreak. Great excitement
still in that vicinity when the passenger
train, No. /, passed there yesterday, and
further information will be looked for from
that locality with much interest.

Persons from the northern and western
sections of Davidson county say that ap-
the peach crop has boen ''nipped in the

gathering for market purposes. We es-
Pocially Pegrot to hear that the frost king
has made very fatal work in the orchards
of our worthy and venerable friend Squire
Shivers, who, for years past, has enjoyed
the deserved reputation of raising the
largest and best peaches brought to this
market. We hope the destruction of Mr..
Shivers peach promises is not as extern
sive as our information indicates, but fear
his crop will be very greatly diminished.
The apple trees in the localities mentioned
still give promise of doing well, the frost
not having done their buds any perceptible
injury
