In November 1865, the same defendant has

OF his strong dsapprobation of the whole

markable case. As to the other item of de-
fense of Crosby, to wit, that he was guided

The Grave of Craighead.

Yesterday after Capt. McVeigh
had concluded his speech, We stroll
ed around the beautiful yard OF Mr..
Haskin's until we. found ourself by
the side OF grave. Upon inquiry,
we learned that the grave was the
resting place Of that brilliant advo-
cate, scholar and statesman, the late
Thos. b. Craighead. No stone or
sepulchrc marked the spot, but it
had been neatly enclosed. Mr.. Has
kins displayed the true antl genuine
feelings of a gentleman and II man
Of taste, by the beautiful manner in
which he had decorated the grave
with cedar boughs and different
colored ribbons lie said that as
he had expected all Mississippi
county to be presert at the Stone
wall Barbecue, and as an address
was to be delivered by the present
representative OF the county, he
thought it no more than just and
proper TO let both the people and
their representative see the grave
of Craghead properly decorated,
and due respect paid to his memory.
1t will be remembered by our
readers that Mr.. Craighead repre-
sentcd this county in the legisla-
turc on one occasion, and none OF
them have forgotten that he was,
in his time, one of the most gifted,
brilliant, though eccentric gepiuses
OF n race of Tenncssecans who now
appear to be extinct, Would it not
be well for the people of this coun-
ty 10 erect suitable monument over
the grave of Craighead Our peo'
pie Invariably mention his name in
terms Of admiration and respect ;
they speak OF him with feelings OF
pride, and as ne was an honor to
the county, so it seems TO us they
ought TO honor his resting place by
something more durable than flow
crs and boughs of cedar.

The Music Of the Mound builders

We were placed in possession,
during the past week, by Mr.. J. X
p. Hale, Of what is evidently an
antiquarian relic being 10 more or
less than the frame Of musical
Instrument known in modern days
by the name Of "Jews Harp" We
judge its antiquity from its cnor-
nous size, and the size Of the
skeletons exhnmed in this region
of country; for example, the bones
unearthed by DR.. Palmer, which
on actual measurement he pro-
nounccd to have been Il skeleton of
4 human thirteen feet in height.
Now we don't suppose this instru-
mcnt TO have been that of full
grown Mound-buildcr, but that of
one Of their children whom we
suppose were as large as full
grown man of our day at birth.
The instrument is minus the tongue,
the frame measures four inches in
length, and two and Il half inches
across the drum; the only doubt
remaining on our mind as to its
being Mound builders child's toy,
is the fact that it is the first and
only evidence of their being man
unscturers of IRON as well as pottery
ware. This relic will be at this
Office for inspection for q few days
only, as we have about concluded
to accept a proposition from one of
Barnum's agents who wishes to
place it among his collection OF
Mound-bWldcr's relics.

citizens Of Upton Co. Tennessee
were IN attendance, who were warm
in expressing their approval of the
sentiments of the speaker, and
seemed deeply to sympathize with
the people of Arkansas in their ef-
forts to free themselves from car
pct-bag rule.
After the speaking the guests
were invited to another part of the
grove where tables were spread and
groaning under load of cdibles
that would have tempted the most
fastidious epicurc. After all had
been attended to, and the cravings
of hunger appeozed, tripping the

dencc OF the Suttons' Gddles, be-
came the order Of the evening until
four O'Clock, when 1t was announc-
ed that the "Gander Pulling" would
take place in the lane immediately
outside the enclosure, and thithcr
all repaired. 1t is not necessary TO
describe this manly (D sport suffice
it to say, that after several lneifcct-
ual attempts by various competitors
Mr.. w. Z. Hale, of our town, sue
cceded in pulling IN TWAIN the Gan
der's breathing apparatus; after
which dancing was resumed. By
this time the SUN was fast sinking
in the western sky and warned us
that it was time we were on our
way, and regretted that our duties
| at home prevented us from accept
ing the many urgent solicitations
to remain at the dance, which was
to be continued throughout the
night. We cannoot close without
returning our thanks to Mr.. w. b.
lIaskins and his corps of attentive
and polite clerks, for the many kind
and attentive courtesies extended
us while partaking his hospitalities.

Stonewall Barbecue.

The barbecue, speaking and dan
cling rs had been announced at
Stonewall was a PERFECT success.
At an early hour the citizens began
10 assemble, and continued to pour
in from every direction, until the
crowd numbered fully 400. Mr..
W. b. Easkins, the gentlemanly
host who had supcrintendcd the
whole arrangements for this occa-
sion, displayed degree of taste
which always bespeaks n gentleman
Of refinement. A neatly construct
ed platform, in shady grove, 30
by 10 feet, with raised seats encir-
cling the whole, were erected; at
one end was stand for the speak
er, and which served also for the
musicians, surmounted by an arched
canopy of evergreens and flowers,
which gave the scene pleasing
effect At eleven o'clock A. NJ, the
assembly having collected on and
about the platform, Capt. Charles
Bowen, mounted the stand, and
introduced the speaker, Capt. II, NJ.
McVeigh, who asccndcd the stand,
and although laboring under many
disadvantages, having ridden fifteen
miles On the back Of a rough-riding
mulo through sea Of mud and wa.
ter, under the rays Of scorching
sun, and not allowed time TO rest
his weary limbs or recupcrate his
Jagged cnergies-yet, in his usual
impressive, forcibio manner, he
kept the close attention Of his audi

ed at length the past condition OF
Arkansas, since reconstruction, pic
tured in vivid colors the characters
of those who for years had depriv-
ed our most horored and respected
citizens of their rights as frecmen.
He then gave an account of his ac-

while in the legislature that he had
earnestly and faithfully assisted
in thwarting and defeating all the
rascally and infamous measures that
had been attempted to be heapcd
upon an oppressed and impovcr-
