ANOTHER RoBBING SERENE. - Indian
dpoliS, aug. 15.-The details OF what is as
serted TO be a tremendous land robbery
have just come to light At the last ses-
sion Of the Legislature an act was passed
providing for the drainage of the wet lands
along the Kaukakee river, and authorizing
company to be formed with authority to
assess the lands for the cost Of drainage. A
company was formed, composed Of Wall
street New York; capitalists, who matured
plans for forcing the present owners Of the
land into the payment of assessments,
amounting. in many cases, to more than
the value Of the lands, and in the aggregate
to over s., 900. 900. Six hundred thousand
acres of land in Lake, Newton, Jasper,
Laporte, Stark, Porter, and St. Joseph
counties, are affected by the scheme, and
intense excitement exists in these counties.
The landowners have but a few days to
make legal resistance, and will make i'm
mediate application to the United States
courts for an injunction to restrain pro-
ceedings under this scheme.

BROWNING IN BLAND CoUSTY.-We hear
Of very distressing case Of drowning
which occurred in Bland county on Sum
day last. 1t seems that Mr.. John 4.
Brown, from Davidson county, North
Carolina, was spending the summer months
in Bland preparatory TO his departure for
the West. On the day mentioned above,
while be, together with his son Julius, was
bathing in Walkers creek, near a dam
recently constructed by Mr. A. j. Grayson,
the youth was drowned. The father had
lett the water. and while standing upon the
bank noticed signs of distress upon the
countcnance Of the son, which induced
him 10 return to his rescue. This he would
probably have succeeded in eflectinS but
for the presence Of his little daughter, who
in her fright at the condition of her Iela-
tives jumped headlong into the stream.
Both the children clinSias to Mr. Brown;
barely escaped with his own and The little

merIy of the old navy, and later an officer In

himself in business here with John TAYLOR
Wood, late Of the Confederate cruiser Tai
ahassee. The firm Of Wilkinson, Wood IL
CO. fiourished and still exists, though Cap
tain Wilkinson has retired, and is now
farming in Virginia, Their business is
mostly with Baltimore and Richmond.
George p. Black, formerly of New Or
leans, O Confederate agent at Bermuda,
came here soon after the war, aud is now
agent for line of steamers to Portland.
He is doing well, and has purchased u fine
residence.
The man who has done the most for Hall
fax. while acquiring a handsome fortune
for himself, is Col. Hornsby, formerly OF
Louisville, Ky. He left the Contederacy
before the close OF the war, invaded, and
for time resided IN Canada; In Inc M. III OF OF
1865 he went to Europe, and not long after
to halifax, and engaged in the manufacture
of brick. Later, he Joined Capt. Tatnall,
son of the late Commodore Tatnall; Hoge,
of Virginia, and Armstrong, OF Atlanta,
Ga, 1.-THE two latter were educated at An
napols, and served in the Confederate
States Navy,) in establishing tobacco
factory. This did not prove, paying
investment, and was abandoned. Colonel
Hornsby now turned his attention 60 real
e tate speculation, in connection with boee,
Armstrong, and others. They have been
wonderfully successful, and woke up re 81
estate owners in Haiiiax most eftectually.
Captain Tatpall now holds some position In
the Office of the School Commissioners. MI.
Schroeder, OF Norfolk, Va, an engineer IN
the Confederate States navy, was engaged
in money brokerage here for time alter the
close Of the war, but has since returned 10

thrown upon his resources, and finding
nothing better to do, he became coDduc-
tor on the city railroad. He is now en-
ployed in engineering.
Mr.. Budd, of Charleston, S. c., managed
q large iron foundry here for some time,
but failed. The business is now carried on
by Mr.. Montgomery, northern man by
birth, bnt formerly doing business South.
He is said to be making money. A Mr.

awarded to them The full merit OF their
pioughs. Some Of them have great merit.
The judges made field trials of Watts
pioughs, and will make, under the rules Of
the society, a sealed report of their opinion
OF the values and performances Of these
ploughs.
among the gentlemen present In the
field was Governor Watt, Of Alabama. and
other southern planters. II is fact worthy
of mention that q very large cotton planter
oil Georgia was present who has bought for
use on his farms three hundred Of the Watt
pioughs. Virginia factories are supplying
the southern demand to large extent.
And when the committee had the grand
trial ot reapers at Mr.. Drewry's last wear
(when seven States were represented
by reapers), New York gentleman passed
the highest praise on Virginia ploughs, aud
asserted that they were fully equal in value
10 northern.made implements.
The proprietors here omit nothing which
will contribute TO the comfort and pleasure
Of their guests and few spots can be more
attractive TO those who come away from
the cares and tolls OF business.
Passing to the field where the ploughs were
tried. we notice two cemeteries, where
sleep the brave mon who have closed their
noble and honorable lives In rendering I'M
questioning obedience to the call Of their
country. There are some two hundred
Contederatcs buried here. Green wreatbs
and beautiful decorations show TINT these
young braves "still live" In the memory
OF their countrywomen, who annually thus
testify their appreciation of the patriot SIN
which animated the hearts of those who
proved themselves worthy Of such remem-
! brauce. Though they died far from the
