Difference between Grades and Crosses.

There seems to be a disposition in the
editors of some OF our semi agricultural
journals, to confound the two terms.
" grade and - cross breed. and TO use
them Unfortunately to convey the same
idea This is wrong. for they should only
be applied TO different meanings. and are
as widely differe a the terms thor
ough- bred and native" cross
br, cd" is the produce Of a thoroughbred
sire OF one breed with a thorough bred
dam of another breed; the produce of a
Durham bull by an Attorney cow would be
''cross-breed." This product crossed
with thoroughbred Ayir-hire would
produce ''crossbrced. aud long
both sire and dam are Thoroughbred, or
"fnll-blooded, the produce will be cross
breed. When the sire is thorough bred,
and the dam native or common. the pro-
duct + grade" the product of this
grade with the common stock will still be
a grade, and strictly speaking. no amount
OF breeding will produce anything else.
From this it will be seen that IL is mis-
take to use the two terms for the same
animal, and will lead 10 confusion.

They have had Ku-Klux raid near
McEwen's Station, in Humphreys county,
and one of the Ku-Klux was shot and
perhaps mOrtslly wounded. 1t appears
from letter before us that a negro
named ThOs. O'Neal had accused 4. J.
Wallis, white man, Of attempting an
outrage upon the person OF his wife. and
was taking steps TO have him arrested.
On the night of the Doth inst, and about
ten O'Clock, the Ku-klux made their ap-
pearsnCe at the cabin of O'NeI, told him
they did their work by night aud threaten
ed to kill him. The negro fired at the
crowd, hitting man by the name of
ROby in the head and MORALLY woundng
him. The Others-threc in numbcr-thcn
fed. Roby, it appears, is a br0ther-in-
law of Wallis, and the other Ku-Klux
were Walis'himself, brother and another
brOther-in-law, who had ''Clcared OUT
to prevent being arrested. Our inform
ant states that they arc of ''thc true blue,
good Union Loyal Leagucra." This case
has nothing to do with politics, but it
shows who are assuming the character Of
