Now, now the dangerous storm is rolling,
Which treacherous kings confederate raise;
The dogs of war, let loose, are bowling,
And 10! our walls and cities blaze!
And shall We bascly view the ruin,
Willie lawless force, with guilty stride,
Spreads dcsolation far and wide,
With crimes and blood his hands cmbruing?

All hearts resolved ON victory or death
With luxury and pride surrounded,
The vile insatiate despots dare,
Their thirst of gold and power unboundcd,
To mcte and vcnd the light and air
Like beasts Of burden they would load us,
Like gods, would bid their slaves adore
But man is man, and who is more!
Then shall they longer lash and goad us

Can dungeons, bolts and bars coninc thec

Vine Prairie and the Snipe Hunt.

DEAR DuSHAM -
The birds sent you. were chiefly donated by
Col. J. L. King. But to the match. The
challenge of King having been taken by
Northcut, who had to only accept, as Colonel
Ks. challenge. unlike any other and contrary
to all former usages in such things, not only
proposed to do the thing named but assumed
the right of designating the place and time.
But all objections being waived, the challenge
was accepted and the parties met on Pilot
Mound, lovely eminenee from which one
can stand and see all over Vine Prairie. um-
pres were chosen, all prelimlnafies agreed
upon and the two contestants, with umpres
marched out upon the snipe ground to test
their skill as sportsmen and settle the claim
to championship. No spectators were allow
ed on the field, so we contented ourselves
looking from our stand point. An OCCASION
al puff of blue smoke and the report of the
double barrel told that the game was being
played with the utmost precaution and con-
sumatc skill, as it could.be told by the move
ments-when the bird fell the umpire of one
of the parties would advance to pick it up.
The number OF shots " be taken by each par
ty being forty and the number of shots mark
ed and, also. number of birds. 1t soon be-
tame evident that if lhe extreme caution of
Col, King was persisted in, the shooting
would have TO be donetn succeeding days, as
time was advancing and he having taken in
first round of two hours nine shots only'
Northcutt although reasonably cautious, was
evidently taking more hazardous chances and
had shot sixteen times in first round, one shot
being declared an accident, leaving hi, actual
shots at fifteen. Returning to the mound
with umprcs and birds and result reported
Col King nine shots and seven birds; North
cutt fifteen shots and ten birds.
The Colonel, being small odds ahead,
claimed the right to and did propose to
withdraw the match, which, being referred to
umpircs, was Herewith annuled and stakes
withdrawn.
A club match now being proposed and
agreed upon between Dir. II. Thruston, Will

side and Col. J. p. King w II. NorthCutt, f.
G.. Whitesides and Joe Clegg on the other.
Time, two hours shooting; all game birds to

hills echoed back the rapid reports Of double
barrels in successive volleys Birds were toll

much missing was done. But at o'clock all

SHOOTING AFFRAY.-Thcre was Sc

Bank Saloon on Sunday last, i'll which
pistols, powder and balls were freely
used, and one James O'Donnell was very
seriously hurt. The particulars, as we
gather them from rumor, were somewhat
as follows Two men, Gibson and
Faulkner, Ga lame man, were in the sa-
loon, and got into an alteration about
the " drinks" or the treat" and passed
hard words. They stepped out into the
street, and O'Donnell, friend of Faulk
ner, "took it up" and opened fire on
Gibson, which the latter promptly re
turned, hitting his man at each tire-once
in the hip and again in the thigh. Glib
son was not touched. The parties were
arrested, and Gibson and Faulkner ex-
amined before the Mayor on Monday.
Gibson was discharged, and Faulkner
held to answer before the Circuit Court.
The ball in O'Donnel's hip was extract
ed-the shot in the thigh passed through
the heshy part, and did not lodge lie
is in fair way to recover.
We understand that the parties are

We are authorized to say to settlers

not the policy of the company to take
any undue advantage of them, and such
will not be its actions. The company
