From Avoyelleo Parish.

The Avoyelles Republican - General
Souers paper-has the following on the
situation in that parish:
There is really an incomprehensible con.
dition Of things existing to-day in this par
ish.
Half year has gone by since the cleo
tiOn in November last, and still our people
are in doubt as to the legal claims of the
two conflicting sets Of officers among US.
Months have passed since the election re-
turns of the parish were declared null and
void on account of fraud, and the exercise
of the power Of appointment by our recog-
nized chief executive, and weeks are rap
idly approaching months since the expira-
ton OF the Presidents proclamation notify
ing those unduiy holding office and in forci-
BILE opposition to Governor kellogg's au-
thority, to give up those Offices and desist
from such opposition.
Still those offices have not been given up.
nor that factioHs opposition been done away
with, but everything possible is being done
to prevent the rightful officers from enter
ing upon the full discharge Of their duties.
Our parish judge and some of our police
jurors have offered to qualify themselves
according to law, but have been refused
The offices OF parish Judge, sheriff and re-
corder are held and their duties performed
by persons commissioned by Warmoth, and
the police jury in opposition to that ap-
pointed by Governor Kellogg hold and
exercise their pretended duties under au-
thOrity of commissions or certificates from
Mr.. McEnery.
On the first Monday Of May last the new
lv elected Judge of our district, Hon. T. H.
Hewes, opened his court in this place, and
the CONVERSATIONS for Office were duly begun,
but after sitting one week-on account of
some overpowering and unknown influences
he abruptly adjourned and left for Point
Coupee. leaving affairs in the condition
above stated.
1t would do well for our government 20
look to this matter. and after finding the
loose screw. remove it and place better
fitting one in its stead.

During the past week the Red river has
fallen three feet at Shreveport; the Mis-

slightly at Leavenworth and Yankton.

Davenport and Memphis. where i: has

land rose more than four feet at Nashville
last Saturday. but since Sunday it has rap
idly fallen. the water being now two feet
lower than it was on the fourth. The Ohio
has risen very decidedly. but is now rap
idly falling. although the water is still
three and half feet higher at Cincinnati
and one at Louisville than it was week
ago. The indications are that the Missis-
sippi between Cairo and Vicksburg will
continue to rise; the upper Ohio will proba.

The Waco, Texas. Examiner o. the
| ninth instant. says:
Mr.. William johnson, of the stage coach
line, arrived from visit to Gran bury
Hood county, evening before last. He in.
forms US that rews of a serious engagement
between Mexican and Kickapoos on one
| side and the American forces, under Gen.
eral Mackenzie On the other, had been re-
ceived at that place. The battle occurred.
according TO this report, On the head
waters OF the Concho, the third or fourth of
this month. The fight was made by
the Indians. it is supposed, to avenge
the insul: and injuries Of the famous
Mackenzie raid. The assailants were
largely IN excess as 10 numbers, ard the
contest was bloody and severe, resulting in
a victory TO the Americans, though at the
expense OF many brave soldiers, including
the commander, Geoeral Mckenzie. The
killed and wounded. The news was brought,
says Mr.. johnson, by man just from the
vicinity Of the conflict, and the people OF
Granbury seem to think it all 3true.
A glance at the map will show that
movement Of the Kickapoos and Lipans,
lead by Mexicans, against the military post
of Fort Concho is not improbable; and had
there been any such demonstration the
fret news of it would naturally be con-
veyed across the travelled route to Hood
county, and thence down the Brazos to
Waco. on the railroad to Austin. There
are known 70 be three or four thousand
savages in that vicinity. besides the de-
tached band that was so severely punished
by Colonel Mackenzie a few weeks ago,
and their mischievous disposition is well
known. Agents Of the Indian Bureau were
reported to have been treating with the
Kickapoos at Fort Duncan the latter part
Of June. endeavoring to persuade them to
return to their reservation.
Knowing that the companies Of the
Fourth Cavalry which had been stationed
at Fort ConchO had been ordered down to
Fort Clarke. leaving the garrison some
what decimated. it is not impossible the
Indians have attacked that outpost. Colonel
Mackenzie. however, is in command at
Fort Clark, and it is very doubtful if he
was present, in case of fight, as stated
by Mr.. johnson. The garrison at Fort
Concho. on the first Of July, consisted of
three companies of the Ninth Cavalry,
under Captains Carroll, Hooker and
Cooney, and two companies Of the Eleventh
Infantry. under Captains Wikoff and Nc
Clermont. We await further news from
tha. quarter with good deal of anxiety.

Here is what the New York Times says
of the capital nouns and sesquipedalian
sentences Of Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, the sue.
cessor of Horace Greeley:
One of his sentences makes twenty-one
lines of solid print-tO read it takes away
ones breath worse than running up four
flights of stairs. He mentions or quotes
from Noah Webster and Cesar, Thucyd.
ides and Horace Greeley. John Stuart Mill
and Petroleum V. Nasty, Herbert Spencer
and Corwin. Bacon and Whitelaw Reid
and all by way of showing the wide range
of his reading and the completeness OF his
education. Capital letters are plensifully
strewn over his ludicrous fiddle -faddle. He
talks Of a Fastidious Father, the Sentimental
in Politics, and Of our Duty as Politicians
All foolish persons like to see their compo-
sitions studded with capital letters and
italics.
We regret to have seen that this style is

wives the following reminiscence OF our late
associate:
John Tabor, native of Charleston, South
Carolina, died in New Orleans, Louisiana,
en- the fourteenth of June last, aged forty
seven years. Tabor will be remembered by
early residents Of Stockton, and a recollec-
tion will bring to mind a tragedy here, in
which ne was the surviving actor. On the
twenty-third of June. 1854, Tabor. then
editor of The Stockton journal, shot and
killed Joseph Mansfield, one Of the proprie-
tors of the San Joaquin Republican. The

two newspapers in relation to the county
printing, which finally ended in bitter,
personal warfare, and the death of Mans.

gust term Of the county court, following the

ton was conducted by District Attorney
Thomas T. Bouldin and Colonel E. d.

new trial, but without success, and on the
twenty.second Of January, 1855. Tabor was
sentenced to be hung, his execution being
fixed for Friday, March l6. His friends i'm

clemency from Governor John Bigler. and
labored so faithfully that on the ninth Of
March, only one week prior to the day set
for carrying the sentence into effect. full
pardon was received and the sheriff ordered
to discharge the prisoner.
His pardon was asked for by large num-
ber of people of the best classes, including
members of the Stockton bar; mayer and
common council; l20 ladies and l04l citi-
zens of San Joaquin county; 4I6 ladies and
Gl7 gentlemen, former neighbors and &C.
qualntances of the prisoner in Texas; TWEEN.

the Assembly Of the California Legislature;
the editors Of twenty-five journals publish
ed in the State. and every minister Of the
gospel in Stockton. With this pressure
brought to bear upon him, Governor Bigler
did not long hesitate to grant the asked for
pardon. Tabor remained here but short
time after being released. and finally left
the State and located in New Orleans,
