A Thrilling Tragedy on the Mobile and
Montgomery Railroad.

We are indebted to Colonel s. y.
Moody, who has just returned home
from his usual spring trip to the NORTH
for the following account Of a sanguin-
ary encounter in Alabama:
As the train which is due At Mo-
bile at GAS on Saturday evening
Stacked up Of a wood station called
Dyas Greek, 80 miles from Mobile, the
passengers were startled by observing
0 group Of men leaning over the body
of young man apparently about IS
or l9 years of age, who had just
brcathed his last from the effects Of a
charge OF buck shot, lodged in his left
side and shoulder. A few steps of
lay q negro man, groaning in the last
throes of death, also from the effects
of gun shot wounds.
From the hastily gathered particu-
lars, Col. Moody learned that the
name Of the white youth was William
Nerrilnan, whose parents live in Will
cog county. Ala, and the colored man
named Sam Martin.
Both were employed at the wood
yard, and after a few words about
some thrilling matter, the nature o.
which could NOT be learned, both hav
ing guns. fired almost simulta neously
with fatal effect to both.
The train moved OF from this fear
full scence in a dense pine forest, leav
ing the strange group in the ink,
darkness of the night fitting AROUND
the lifeless form Of the handsom,
young man, and the writhing body q
the dying negro.

Random Verses.

This morn the sun rose bright and clear,
And seemed in gladness shining,
Blu, now behold, its beams appear
In Western skies declining.
Thus sanguine, men the world begin,
With prospects bright before them;
As life speeds on, the light grows dun,
And darkness soon comes Ter them.
With me, the flowers of hope decay,
My path no more adjoining;
One by one they We passed away,
As dew drops in the morning.
Bsreft OF all that might elaie,
Of all that once was shining,
Oh. let me meet the ills Of fate,
And Lew without repining.
It's folly all 70 seek delight
In such a world Of sorrow;
Woe follows veal as shades of night
Succeed each dawn Of morrow.
If transient joys are sometimes caught
From fortune. fame, or beauty,
Alas, they're almost slways bought
AT some expense Of duty.
Oh, who, in manhood, ever met
The JOY his youth expected
And whs, is life, has never wept
Ger ruined hopes, DEPICTED,
OFT are we soonest called to sigh
Der things we hold the dearest
And when we fancy pleasure nigh,
Oh, misery then is nearest.
But there's fairer land than this,
Beyond the minds conceiviRg,
Where man may reap eternal bliss,
Without lament or growing;
A lovely land. where nothing fades,
Affection knows no blighring;
And Disappointing throws no shades
Ger hopes that are inviting.
Then thither let me wend my way,
My life no longer wasting
On seeming joys. which fade like day,
Or turn to gall in tasting:
That lovely home, that brighter sphere,
OF purify and brightness,
Is spread for all who travel here
In piety's upEigh,ness.

WE have news from the different
portions Of our Parish, of a very fiat
tering nature in regard to the planting
interests Of the people, etc. In all
parts the farmers have mm,nced
planting cotton; in some portions
they are done planting, and are
engaged in working out their corn.-
There is complaint of the cut worms.
and 10 some localities the corn crops
have been entirely destroyed by the
birds and worms, and are being re-
planted. From what we can learn
there is being planted larger pro-
portion Of cotton than any year since
the surrender The hands, generally,
are manifesting a greater interest,
more energy, and are more hopeful
than in any preceding year. There
are some instances, however. where
the hands have forfeited their con-
tracts, after mourning a considerable
loss to their employers. But these
were bands brought up from New Or
leans, undoubtedly never intending to
fulfill their contracts. We learn that
Mr.. BRowx. on the Macon, lost two
sets of hands in this way, at loss to
him of over $500 in actual cash. The
people generally may expect to be I'M
posed upon by this ella. S Of transient
and itnerant laborers. This, of itself,
is enough to arouse our farmers to
offer sufficient inducements to immi-
grants and actual settler to bring
our vast fields and forests that are
now lying out and idle into state Of
cultivation. Experience teaches and
hath taught us that no country in the
South would yield a greater profit
from farming than the inexbaustible
alluvial soil of Louisiana; and in no
other section of our State can lands
be bought cheaper and on better
terms, according to real value, than
here in the Parish of Richland.
