Bad News

From the following extracts it will be
seen that the cotton crop in Central
Mississippi is in bad plight
The cotton crop of this season, up to a
few weeks ago, babe fair to be one of the
best this country has produced for many
years; but We regret to learn from many
sources that the crop is in a very bad
condition on account of the long dry
spell We are told that the top crop on
many plantations almost amounts to
nothing, and that the stalks are shedding
off to a very damaging extent, 1t is
thought this years crop viii not come up
to last by several thousand bales.-Fort
Gibson Standard: $3.50
We have continued in another column
the reports of the cotton crop, furnished
by the press of the ( tate. IL will be seen
that the catterpiller is still on the in
crease; that it has done considerable
damage a-d that the gloomiest apprehen-
sions of its ravages are INDUCED by the
planters. Meantime the market still
droops under the effect of the false state
ments that have been sent out by inter>
ested parties in relation to the extent of
the erop--JaeksOn, Miss, Clarion.
Similar reports reach as through our
exchanges from every quarter of the
great cotton growing regions, save the
Mississippi valley farms between Mem
phis and Vieksburg. No confidence can
be put in the estimates of those who as
sert ia northern prints that the crop of
1872 will reach 100000 bales. This is
down RIGHT uoDsnnse IF the croY, raa chas
or even aproximates 100000 it will be
more than is now expected by those who
know best Coupled with this, however,
is the indisputabie fact that short crop
always induces high prices, and many
intelligent farmers are now beginning to
Gee that Eve bales at 80 cents per pound

g The political times in Tennes-
see are awfully out of joint. Andy
johnson is an Independent candidate
for Congress for the State at large,
against the nominee of his party.
A. E. Garrett is an independent
candidate for Congress in the third
district. VIM. G. Brien, 10. G.
Stark and John c. Thompson, are
independent candidates for Con-
gress in the Nashville district-with
a probability of more. Col. A. j.
Kellar, of the Avalanche, is an in
dependent candidate for Congress
in the Memphis district; and we
have four in this (Sth) district.
There may be others, in other dis
tricts, and upon the whole, the mat
ter of carrying Tennessee for Gree
ley and Brown begins to look con-
siderably doubtful-if not more so.

Another Foul Doed.

Last week man named w. j..
Martin, who resided near Ripley,
Lauderdale county, was arrested
and put in Jail there on a charge of
having married a Mrs. Emile j.
Rogers, at Lone Oke, Arkansas,
and moving with her to Lauderdale
county, murdered her and threw
her into a pond to avoid exposure,
as he had a wife living in the neigh
borhood of where she was murder
ed. He was put in Jail at Ripley
last Saturday, and the Jail guarded
by twelve armed men; but before
day light Sunday morning about one
hundred armed and disguised men
surrounded the guard, disarmed
them, took Martin from the Jail,
and after taking him some distance
from town shot him dead-at least
forty bullets being shot into him.
His crime, which it is said he con-
fessed, was a terrible one, and ter
ribly has it been expiated.

A Free right.

Andrew johnson last Saturday
night, in a speech at Nashville, an
nounced himself as a candidate for
Congress for the State at large, as
an Independent candidate-against
the nominee of the democratic par
ty. VIM. G. Brien of Nashville, in
humble imitation of his illustrious
ex-excellency, announced himself as
an independent candidate for Con.
gress in that district. The spirit of
INDEPENDENCE is cropping out in all
directions, and we shall not be at
all surprised to see at least major
ity of radical Congressman return
ed from Tennessee, to the next Con-
gross. The candidacy of Andy
johnson insures three radical mem
bers from East Tennessee, and rem
ders the election Of one or two 9TH
ers at least doubtful. But if they
can stand it we viii try and do so.
There is a chance, in all these up
heavels that old chaos win come
again. Let her rip, she's made Of
oak!

AN OUTRAGE.


We learn reliably that on Monday
night last, most dastardly outrage
was committed by some persons,
unseen at the time, upon peacea-
BILE and unoffending negro man liv-
ing on the place of Mr.. Jno. A. Now
ell, who resides in the 10th district
of this county near the Gibson coun-
ty line.
About dusk the negro man took a
couple of water buckets from the
kitchen and started to the well,
which is some little distance from
the house, for water. When he had
traversed about half the distance
from the house to the well, he was
fred upon by some persons at very
short distance from him, and three
shot took effect upon the man,
while nine went through the bucket
next to them, and burst off one of
the hoops.
The negro man is said to have been
peaceable and harmless, since his
residence on Mr.. Nowell's place
this year-and to have given no one
cause of offence. Parties in the
neighborhood, it is said, early in
the Spring, threatened to drive all
the negroes off of Mr.. NowelPs
place, and afterwards to say that
they might stay and make the crop,
but should not gather it.
The negro man, fortunately, was
not badly hurt, as the shot were
large bird shot; but if the entire
charge, instead of hitting the buck
ct, had hit him, he would have been
severely, if not fatally injured.
We know nothing of the matter
further than above stated; but par
ties are watched, and it would be
well for the guilty parties to be very
cautious in their future movements.
We may say that the negro saw the
men after they shot him, and saw
them, like towards, as they must
be, running away.
1t is to be hoped no more such
lawless acts will take place in our
usually peaceful county. We did
not suppose there were citizens
base enough to be guilty of such
COW ardly conduct.

uUMBOLDT ITEMS.

We noticed a few days ago the an
nouncement that W. w. Vaughan
win address the people of Hum
boldt on Saturday the S1st inst, at
night. This may be another feint
of Vaughan's, as was at Jackson
last Saturday; but be that as it may,
we are assured by Gen. Campbell
that he will be here, and that is
satisfactory to our people, knowing
as we do that Gen. Campbell will
carry this end of the county by two
to one. We look upon Gen. Camp
bell as a heightened gentleman and
true patriot, and well merits the
support of the people of his Con-
gressional district. There are a
few carpet-baggers and rebel haters
here who claim that Gen. Campbell
is rife for another war, from hear
ing him use the following language
in his speech here on the 25th of
July: 'I aided and assisted in the
'late rebellion, and so help me God
81 will never do SO again, but under
''the same circumstances would do
"the same thing" And we ask,
who would not, having the interest
of his country at heart. Gen.
Campbell only spoke the sentiments
of every true man to his country,
and we are satisfied will meet the
response of every good citizen. All
weask here is an "open field aud a
fair fight" and if Gen. Campbell is
not elected by an overwhelming
majority then we are no judge.

clodhoppers. What q stormy career
is this of Andrew johnson! Ii he
could win in the terrible struggle
upon which he is Just entering, q
result wholly impossible, he has on
" begun q new life of ceaseless in
tellectual combats, and he becomes
immortal as the political prize-fight-
err Of the age. He abhors Ben But
Ter, and the willy Massachusetts, Con-
gresham viii have for the first
time an antagonist as solid as the
everlasting roCk-ribbed mountains,
whose rugged majesty first lent in
spiration 10 Johnson's genius. But
Of what avail is all this? What
good can come Of it? Would Ten
nessee or the South gain aught by
sending up to Washington a keg of
nitro-glycerine! Would the ''blOody
ehasm" close its revolving jaws
more rapidly if JOhnson's fearful
diatribes upon the government of
Grant and upon Grants hideous
morals and practices be opened up
in the House of Representatives.
What can the South or the country
gain of tranquility or peace? viii
he secure the enactment of measures
of practical benehcence? An adher-
ent of Grant would not vote Grant
money or pups if the proposition
came from Andrew johnson. Cheat
ham viii soon win the same place
and potency in Congress that he
holds among the people. He win be
as popular in Washington as he was
in the army, and is to-day among
the people of his own county. OF
the two men, Cheatham is infinitely
more capable of serving, practically,
his constituents. Andrew johnson
exhausts his usefulness when he inn
parts to the people philosophical
views of American theories of gov
eminent as wise and statesmanlike
as those of the fathers of American
constitutional law, and while Mr..
johnson, as a candidate, is worthy
of an audience, as a Congressman,
he can serve US in nothing.-ARPeGi

We have had a drought of four
weeks in this section, which has
caused all garden vegetables to
parch and dry. A few weeks ago
we had the fairest promise for q
more than an average crop, which
made the heart Of the farmer glad,
and instilled into him renewed en-
ergies and purposes. But those
hopes of a few days ago are all
blasted. All join in saying that the
cotton crop cannot be over half
yield, and all prospects of money is
builded on this staple.
We visited Mr.. j. D. Kiersey's
vineyard this week and enjoyed
very much some Of his fine grapes.
Mr.. Kiersey informed me that he
intends, and is already making,
wine, and thinks he will make FIVE
hundred gallons out Of the remain
der of his crop. He shipped a good
many early in the season, but did
not realize the profit anticipated.
Mr.. Kiersy made a few gallons of
wine last year, which was pro-
nounced good. Other parties here
have made several hundred gallons
from the present crop. Dr. Smith,
of Friendship, President of the
Brownsville and Holly Springs
Railroad, was in our town last
week, and visited some of the vine
yards here. DIR. Smith intends
planting some vines near his town.
Watermelons plenty in town for
the last few days.
The fleas have all left town this
hot dry weather, and we suppose

nights rest.
Prof. Wright's school has proven
an entire success, and we are proud
/ SO see so much interest taken in ed
ucation in our midst, but we are
sorry to see some so careless in this
matter. We would be glad to ex-
change these for few live men, and
could afford to give the difference.
Fine rain, we learn, all around
yesterday; but none here. This has
come too late for the crops, but will
be good for turnips. w.
