One of the most outrageous. cold
blooded murders WAS committed in
Cherokee County, Alabama, last week.
Mitchell Davis, promising young man,
was shot and instantly killed by negroes
lying in ambush by the roadside. The
young man was on the eve of being mar
ried, and on his way to visit Lis Of
fianced. Statements differ as to the
motives Of the shooting; some saying the
negroes intended to kill his cousin, some
his father. The negroes fred also on
different'parties who were hurrying to
the spot whero young Davis was lying.
The excitement in that section produced
by this affair is indescribable. But it
rose to fever heat when the report
spread, and verified by respectable par
ties, that disguised bands Of negroes
we're trnversing the country, numbering
white men and women. Already q war
between The two races was imminent,
when tho Ku Klnx appeared upon the
scene. Taking the law into their own
hands, they silently but surely began
their bloody work. Last accounts from
that section wero that four negroes had
already been killed.

another one alongside of it, and securely
spiked it down. The fiend then went

FROM PARIS TO NORWAY IN Ball

FROM PAn1s TO NORWAY IN Ball
hooN.-M. A. LeMaout describes in
LeCourrier de rEurope thevery remarka-
bic recent voyage Of two Franch gentle
men, Messrs. Roller and Bezier, In q
balloon from Paris to Che neighborhood
OF Ohristiania, in Norway. They as
oended from Paris at 1134 O'clock at
night, with bag full Of letters and de-
spatohes addressed to various parts of
France, England, &c., bat ut A. NJ,
were surprised to find that they were
sailing rapidly over the sen. As the
balloon gradually descended they sight
ed, or rather was sighted by, vessel,
which proved to be German, and fired
some shots at the balloon. happily, how
ever, without effect. They let fall their
bag of letters and dispatches, which
we're picked up by the ship and posted
OH reaching port, and some of which
reached their destination in damp and
weight, the balloon again assembled, and
was lost for some hours in clouds and
mists, but about P. NJ, the same day,
the nronauts deserted the tops of some
pine trees, and soon after effected their
descent in the midst Of a bleak and barren
wood, of the locality of which they we're
in ontire ignorance. Having made their
way through bushes aud underwood,
they fortunately discovered the walls Of
An nnroofed hovel, and inside it tho re-
mains of some potatoes. These they
were only too glad to eat, being half
dead with cold and hunger, and they
slept within the rooAess walls for some
twenty hours before they felt strong
enough to pursue their journey. Get
ting under way once more, they found
some villagers, to whom they made
krown by signs, aud by drawing bal
loon OH paper, the strange route by
which they had come thther. The
native sent for the village pastor and for
another person who could speak little
French. when they wero told that they
were in Norway. The visitors were
most kindly and Hospitality treated rs
persons who had literally come down
from the skies, and they were forward
cd, together with their balloon aud
apparatus, on sledgcs to Christania, q
distance of 100 lengnes. On reaching
the capital their presence created the
greatest excitement: fetes were iinpro-
| vised in their honor; mothers hold up
their children to SEQ the Frenchmen
who had come down, from the clouds,
and tho people raised loud cries OF
France forever"

There is certainly (says the New York
IForhi) nothing more wonderful in the
history. nor anything more credltable to
the character, Of the American Republic
than the manner in which it has nssimi-
lated the most diverse chronological ele-
ments into II compact and characteristic
nationality. The flood of emigration is
absorbed SO quietly and so thoroughly
that nowhere bnt in two or three of the
chief centres of population does it an
nouncc itself rs IL distinct element Mt ALL
The account of the immigration for the
past year shows that over 200, 900 per-
sons have accepted the political hospi-
talitics and the natural advantages which
invited them here. This great number

be the third or the fourth in the United
Statcs-has been 50 dispersed that it
hardly constitutes n perceptible addition
to the population of any single district
And even this great number falls off by
some Az, O0J from the immigration of the
affords no basis for calculations upon tho
future immigration, by reason of the
events which huve constrained so many
heads of families and young adventurers
i'll France und Germany to stay at home
when they might very willingly have
joined their fortunes with ours. The
only decrense outside of these two ma

loss there is not really loss, since the

warranted and abnormal height. The
close of the European war will pretty
surely preciPitate upon us countless
thousands of needy but frugal and in
dustrious persons, comprising the best
material for citizens. AS it is figure of
rhetoric. according to Touchstone, that
drink being poured from cup into u
glass by filing the one doth empty the
other, we need not fear that the flow of
immigration will cease or slackcn until
it has equalized much more nearly than
now the density of European and the
scattered condition of American popula.

Mexico nearly century before the set

cribed here among the great poems
and many of the finest of those beaut-
full waits that We sometimes find In the
newspapers are here collected and given

RUMoRED Row ON THE NATIONAL
RoAD.-Ever since the appointment OF
Mr. Lunsford to be Superintendent OF
the National Road, there has been a
good deal Of i'll feeling manifested by
certain parties living along the road,
which ill-feeling has exhibited itself in
indignation meetings, one Of which was
held at Frank Walters on Saturday.
During the past week Mr.. Lunsford ap-
pointed James Mcconnell temporary
toll taker at gate No. ., near Walters ,
and Mcconnell at once entered on the
duties of his office. On Saturday night
he saws, while taking toll he was waited
on bvJ. Farrell, who lives at the gate,
a man named Hutchinson, and another,
and was notified that he must leave
there or take the consequences, and that
he could take no more toll at that gate.
Mr.. Mcconnell, fearing personal vlo-
lence, left the gate and came to the city,
leaving Farrell in possession. The row
is very pretty one as it stands. We
shall look for further developments
with interest

ALVEY PLAcE.-It is astonishing
IN ace the crowds Of ladies and gentle
men who crowd into the rooms and fill
the doorways at Mr.. Wickhamss auc-
ton sale Of the bankrupt stock Of Dry
Goods, on Main street, during auction
hours and yet when we reflect upon
the fact that goods are there sold 80 low
that many persons borrow money at a
heavy interest and buy these goods to
sell again, thus doubling their money,
il il not a matter Of so much wonder.
The mass ofthe people in this city and
county have for SO long a time been
stiptins themselves and buying just as
few goods as the most rigid economy
would dictate, and now that this great
auction is scattering the goods among
the people at remarkable low prices,
they rush to the great emporium Of bar
gains and carry off the long needed
goods by the armful. The efforts to
prejudice the minds Of the people
against the auction have utterly failed
and they seem to regard such efforts IN
the light of a recommendation of it, ii
we are to judge Of the increased sales.
When men can buy broadcloth enough
of the best English and French manu-
facture for an entire suit for $40, and
furnish a whole family with clothing
for mere trihe, it is no wonder that
they rush to the auction with the great
est eacerness and buy with seeming ex
travagance. When men buy goods al
their own prices it is their own fault II
they do not get good bargains. as the
goods sold at auction have to be the
clear grit and persons know what kind
of goods they want are worth in the
market, of course there is no danger o.
imposition, and the people know just
what bargains they are getting when
they bid on piece of goods.

as fast as the cars were. moved along
and removing them to the front, thus
making it pretty lively for the track

field up to a first-class road just as rap
idly as it can be done.

\ TEST Casa test case was up
before Judge Good, Saturday, the ques-
ton being the liability of bricklayers
and stone masons for the use of waste
water in the cutters of the streets, for
building purposes. The collector Of
taxes had John W. Boring summoned
before the court for making false state
ment of the quantity of water used by
him in his occupation of bricklayer,
from the first Of April, 1870, to lst of
April, 1871, nthat Mr.. Boring made
dam in the gutter while building the
house Of \. c. Arthur on Center street
and used the water thus collected for
the purposes of building, without hav-
ing made return of the quantity of brick
laid with the water thus gathered. Mr..
Boring denied that the city had any
right to levy a tax on the waste water
gathered by daming the cutters; that it
having been paid for once the city
could not collect for it again; that he
did not use water from any Of the
hydrants of the city for the specific
purpose of bricklaying; that, therefore,
he made no return of the brick laid
with the waste water he had used, and
that he had no right to make any such
return.
The Judge held that Mr.. Boring
return was correct and true; that he
had no right to return the number
of brick laid when water gathered from
the cutters of the city is used, and that
the collector is bound to take that re-
port as true when he has no reason to
belive it 10 be otherwise.
