white Republican promenaded the
streets OF Dallas, Texas, the other day,
between two colored women.
Rev. Mr. Lundie, Baptist minister,
we'll known in Alabama, died of yellow
fever in Pensacola, few days ago.
A planter in Jackson county, Florida,
claims tEaL four mocking-birds have
prevented the caterpillars from destroy
ing twelve acres of cotton.
Gen. Thomas, of Covington, Ga,
struck mOccasin snake with hoe and
the reptile suddenly disgorged a huge
rat which it had swallowed few min
utes before.
The Eufaula (Ala.) Times says: ga
gentleman from Glennville was in our
Office who reports the caterpillars as
rapidly increasing in that section. Our
exchanges from West Alabama and
Southwest Georgia report them increas-
ing rapidly and beginning their work
of final destruction. A gentleman who
came in on the Montgomery train FRI
day night assures us that in the prairie
farms between Union Springs and Mont
gOmery they are destroying the cotton
rapidly, on many places not vestige of
leaf being left. In support OF this the
Montgomery Advertiser says: The
worm is more destructive where not
checked by Paris green than ever be-
fore known. They make clean sweep
OF fields in half the time which they
! have heretofore allowed themselves.
No matter how much Paris green may
be used, the crop in Montgomery, Bulls
lock and LowIdes will be short lar be

white people: ut happens" said Ham,
that you, not we, must succumb. You
may not like it, but there is no help for

propose to yield an inch. You may

call it, insuffarable. 1t will become more
AID more intOlerable to you. You must
educate all these colored people We

Admiral Semmes, formerly command
| ca of the alabama" made a speech, in
| selt-defense, at meeting of the South
ern Historical Society at Montgomery
White Sulphur Springs, Va, Saturday,
| in which he maintained that the "Ala>
| bama" had warrants for all she did, and
| that her conduct was fully justified by
| presidents of the United States during
| the Revolution and war of 1872. He de-
| MED burning ships without authority of
| the law, the violation of his parole, or
| carrying foreigners on his ship. He al
| so said, eff the nation exists we will
| have but one history. England has but
one history. Our Confederate history
| will live for a generation or more. In
| five hundred years there will be no his
| tory of the Confederate States, but of
| the whole country. Let us show mag
nanimitv. If fame has been gained on
| either side, let US perpetuate it. Let us
| pursue the moderate course, and give
credit where credit is due" By tire
| standard of truth he was willing to be
| judged.
Richmond Enquirer: "If the Conserva-

not less than 10000 and perhaps more
| han 10000, they will be as just and as
| fair and friendly to the cOiOred men in
| Virginia as they have been throughout
| the four years of their power. They
mean no aggression upon the negro; but
| they do mean that be shall not rule in
this wealth if their political
| power Al the polls can prevent it."
