We have had much rain TIL, past
Two weeks, though not of II charac-
ter to thrcsh out the open cotton.
Still the time has been unpropi-
tious for cotton picking, and has
had the effect to start the gins.
Since Wednesday il has been
clear, and we hope our people will
push TO the utmost TO finish getting
out their crops. There are some
crops of which good deal is still
in the field. The lcngcr it stays
after opening, of course tho less
value it will have. Tho market
value of cotton now should stimu-
late every planter to get his crop
out rs early rs practicable, and to
handle it wcll.-Cidrk. Standard.
1t is II good sign of the times,
that there is an evident hcsitancy
in consumatins the fraud of dcliv-
cring certificates of election to the
defeated candidates To- Congress.
Our information is TO the effect that
no certificates have rs yet been
and though the Impress
ion Is general that Gov. Davis is
nnnc too good to perpctratc this
fraud upon the people, It is thought
he may yet decline to do so, chiefly
upon the grounl, it is believed,
that the parties would not get
heir seats, and that consequently
he and his friends would have all
heir tronbIu for nothing But,
nevertheless, his hcsitancy is II iav
,rnble sign, since it shows that
here nrc no depths Of political de-
,ravity but must recognize the

NDIAN FIGHT GENERAL MkENslE |
AND TWO OF MS MEN WOUNDED.
We learn from Mr.. Mcconnell, |
Who i,just down from Jacksboro.
hat news had just been received at
hat place before he left, giving the
PARTICULARS of Il severe engagement
between II scouting party Of U. S.
roops under the personal command
If Gen. NJ Kinzie, in the nuighbor-
rood of the Double Mountains. We
lnve not been able to gather the
uIl particulars Of the engagement
or the present issue Of our paper,
,ut we learn that Gen. M'Kinzic
vas shot through the thigh in the
light by an arrow, nnd that two of
,is men were also wounded. The
light occurred on tho last days of
October. The Indian forces are
aid to be completely annihilated
n the action, but .hc number of ei-
her party brought into the engage
nent We have not been able to learn
We rejoice that General M'Kinzic
las a. last had an opportunity to
how his metal not only to the saw
Iges, but his ardent disposition to
he people of Texas to protect our
ufforing frontier from the carnage
md robbery that has been driving
,uck our settlements for years past.
We presume that Gen. M'Kinzie
las now shed his "virgin blood" in
II Indian fight, and We hope it to
'e but the beginning of tue end,
nd that the dogs of war" may be
ct loose upon those savagcs, so that
many months will be permitted TO
