The mayor Of Greenwood, Mr.. Fitzhew,
and Mr.. G. NJ. Seger, q citizen Of that ,un.
ty, arrived here to-day for troops or other
assistance to preserve the peace at Green
wood, in LefOre county, on the Yazoo river.
A number of bad fellows have been making
night hideous with their firing of pistols
and disorders for some time past. On the
night of the twenty first instant they went
to the house Of Mr.. Fitzhew, the newly ap-
pointed mayor, a cOlOred man, and de-
manded his body He escaped their clutches.
The deputy sheriff attempted to suppress
the rioters, but was himself disarmed by
them and became pOwerleee. On the twenty
fifth things got worse, and the mayor went
to the sheriff for protection, and while in
the sheriff's house a set Of these fellows
fred on the house; their purpose was sup
posed to be to kill Fitzbew. The house was
guarded by cOlored men. who returned the
shot and killed one Of the rioters. This in
tensified the feeling, and so the mayor and
Mr.. Seger came over here for troops They
will likely be furnished az soon as General
Terry can be heard from by telegraph. So
the work Of death goes on. We had ear
nestly hoped that the western part Of the
State was not to be disgraced this year by
outrages similar to those committed on the
eastern side, and in States immediately east
Of us, but we find our hopes were not we'll
founded, and that LefiOre county has united
herself to others in the State Of bad repu.

was generally expected. The figures indi-

The rolling season has fairly opened, and
the yield of sugar is good for commence

cane on Messrs. Irwin l. Gibson's place, left
of twelve hOgsheads to seven acres; on Mr..
Duncan F. Kenner's place, twenty-fv e
hogsheads to twenty seven acres, and about
the same on others, the general average be-
ing about hogshead to the acre. If the
cold snap We are having now continues a
ehort time. the yield will De increased
nearly If not quite one-half.
And this is antt Their on the same subject:
Owing to the warm weather that we have
had during the past week, several of the
sugarhOuses have stopped. but will soon
start again IA the weather has turned quite
= cool. The planters are not idle in the in
