and as the Calabar mems guns were OF
heavier calibre than those of the Ekreekas,
| their fire was most effective at q range that
!, was quite out of the power of the Ekreeka
guns. The Calabar men being satisfied
with the damage they had done to these
Ekreekas, drew off their canoes and re-
turned to New Calabar town. Then COM
menced the horrible orgies that are the
usual sequel to all battles in this country.
Sixteen of the prisoners were at once slaugh-
tered and portiOned out, like so much beef
or mutton, to the principal families in the
town for the purpose of being cooked and
eaten. One scene will suffice TO give an idea
of the horrible practices.
About 10 A. NJ. one the unfortunate cap
tives was bound hand and foot in the centre
of the courtyard of one of the most wealthy
and enlightened of the chiefs. The prisoner,
haggard and worn, was surrounded by the
wives, children, head men and slaves of the
chief. The chief himself stood in front,
coolly instructing his youngest and favorite
son, good looking boy about six years old,
how to execute the prisoner with sharp
knife. After few minutes the young saw
age seized the prisoner by his wool, pulled
his head forward and struck him on the
back of the neck. causing blood to squirt
forth. The wells of the men and the women
was struck to the ground, and cut up in
pieces with large knives The young
ster whe commenced the slaughter
waived his hand, reeking with blood,
on high, and gave a shout of triumph In
ten minutes after the head and hands of the
late prisoner were in an iron pot boiling in
the chiefs house for his breakfast, carefully
tended by one of his wives, and the young
exeeutioner greedily awaiting the repast

canoes taken were destroyed before leaving

i'll safe keeping until the Bonny King could
be communicated with, which was at once
done through the chairman Of the court of

Fearful Atrocities in Africa - Prisoners

Families of the Yictors.
The Benny correspondent of the Liver
pool Courier writes as follows:
For some time past the New Calabar men
have been secretly preparing their forces
for a raid into the Ekreeka country-Dartly
as demonstration of their strength, and
partly to see whether the Bonny men would
stand forward as ,the protectors of the
Ekreekas, which they are bound to do by
treaty. Accordingly, about week ago the
most powerful expedition that ever left New
Calabar for Ekreeka set out under command
of King Amachree. The expedition con-
sisted of above fifty large war canoes,
manned by over two thousand men. They
cautiously approached the capital of the
Ekreeka country, taking three days in the
movement. On the night Of the third day
they lay in wait near the ''city," hid by the
thick bushes that lined the creek that leads
to the residence of King Phiba.
About midnight some Ekreeka oil and
fishing canoes, about nine in number. came
by. manned by both men and women. The
war canoes charged out of their respective
hiding-places; few minutes of confusion,
cries of triumph and shrieks of dismay, and
all was over. The canoes were captured,
anu VIII tHeh ABOUT twenty-five men ana
three casks OF palm oil; but the women,
with praiseworthy activity, jumped into the
creek and swan ashore, and, in spite of all
the efforts of the Calabar men, they escaped
through the bush to the town, and gave the
alarm, the Calabar men, in their own ex-
pressive way, remarking: Them women,
he be the devil-man for rum. e., very
swift Of foot AT daylight an advance was
made on the town, but the Ekreekas were
too strongly posted behind stockades to
warrant the Calabar men carrying the place
by storm. They therefore opened fire on
the place with canoe guns, and bombarded
it for some hours.

Plant Cotton.

There is a quiet vein of sarcasm running
through the following editorial from the
MorehOMse Conservative:
We spoke advsedly last week when assur-
ing the planting community that the North
and West had yet, and would continue to
hold in hand, immense supplies OF corn,
meat, hay, oats, mules, horses, condensed
milk, and butter. But few days before we
had left New Orleans, and saw enough with
our own eyes to render certain the facts
stated.
The probabilities are that with the begin
ming of another season these supplies will
be greatly increased in anticipation of a big
crop of cotton. Those fellows up there are
sharp. They watch the corners closely.
They know the size of the cotton crop, and
what it brought. They are as well or better
posted in the price of cotton than the men
who make it. They know that the larger
the crop the less the price, and the more Ger
tain of cotton producers coming out in debt,
as they have almost to man this year. And
besides, they know that the way to remedy
the matter is to plant more cotton and less
corn.
Cotton is the only thing in the South that
will bring money, and the planters all being
in debt, must plant more cotton in order to
pay out They have no time to spare to
corn, and oats, and pigs, and mules, and
horses, and cows, and sheep, but must in
vest everything in cotton. And hence, these
shrewd fellows put in corn and oats, raise
pigs, and make butter, and fix up con-
densed milk, and can fruit, and pack eggs
just in proportion. So the Southern
planter need have no fears about the sup
plies giving out. It's true they may cost
little more, but what does that amount to
when they have plenty of cstton with which
to buy. They can grow rich in few years
raising cotton at ten cents and buying corn
at 81 %, and meat at $50, and mules at
$3.50, and condensed milk at 50, and fine
Western butter at forty cents. Besides,
the corn is shelled TO hand. No one is
troubled with the shucks and cobs. Some
times 1t may be a little trashy and get a little
sOured in transportation, but it will only
kill about every third mule that eats it, and
keep the balance of the stock poor and
sleepy. But then cotton at ten cents will
buy more mules, and the poor ones will not
run away and kick up jack general And in
addition cotton is so easily raised and
housed. 1t only requires year or fifteen
months to do it. It's no trouble. 1t makes
a man feel rich to see his broad acres about
Christmas time white as a field of snow.
He counts his bales by the acre. and calcu-
lates the amount at ten cents per pound,
and his cotton seed at five dollars per ton.
and tancies his pockets lined with green
backs, out of debt, and plenty of pork, and
corn and condensed milk in New Orleans,
sent down by his kind friends of the West.
Now we most sOlemnly assure our friends
that the supplies are abundant, and to plant
cotton. If they have little patch of corn
planted, plow it up, by all means. and plant
cotton
