MORE DISGUISED MEN.
Intense Excitement I'm the Tenth
Notwithstanding and Threats.

| The citizens Of the 10th district and vicinity
/ are stilI intensely excited over threatened
collision between a band OF disguised men and
| the negroes. The negroes are armed and def
ant, while the masked riders are bold and Hg-
| cressipe' Nearly every night during the past
week, these disguised men have paraded
through the country, threatening the negroes,
and creating alarm and excitement. They
have as vet committed no crime. and their
movement il is thought, IS for the purpose Of
breaking up a secret society among the negroes
Of that section. But serisus collision is i'm
minent, a. the negroes are very much eXaspcr-
ated, while the masked riders seem deter
mined 70 break up their society at all hazards.
On Wednesday night between 10 and II o'clock,
about fifty OF the maskers surrounded the negro
cabins az James EXum's, II miles north Of the
city and closely questioned the negroes, who
were greatly alarmed. \ young man by the
name OF Nat Pearson, living with Mr.. ENum,
took double barrel shot gun and went out to
where they were and asked them their business.
The only reply they gave was, 1--WE are here
for a purpose, but we VIII do no harm 10 any
One'' Young Pearson ordered them on.
They refused to leave, whereupOn Pearson
jumped behind tree and fired into them.
Some fifteen or twenty shots were fired at
Pearson, but he escaped 10 the house unharm-
ed. The masEcr5 did not pursue him and it Is
not known whether Pearson shot any Of them
or not. Between y and l o clock, on the same
night heavy firing was heard four miles south
Of ENum's, but its cause We have not yet learn
ed. The country is intensely excited and pre-
parations for conflict are evidently going
on. The authorities should take the matter
promptly in hand, before serious damage is
done. The negroes are eXasperated, and
defiant, and seem to quote collision Some
thing should be done at once to arrest the
mL-rhIuI.

News Is scarce this week no doubt on ac-
count Of the pressure OF the time, coupled
with the intent Of our people to prepare for
Christmas and TO avoid war.
The soldier who was killed by Barker
was sent 10 Memphis for interment, and
Barker was arraigned for trial before
Committing Court, but waived All exami-
nation and was bound over in "a bond OF
5000. owens was also bound over, after
preliminary trial, in = bond Of $500.

Conductor-is doing Sery well and his re-
cOyery is anticipated by his friends.

Nearly wear $50 MAJ by the name Of

all he possessed, money, boots, watch, Sc.,
and Marshal Picker being informed Of the
facts and being furnished with "a photo
graph Of the supposed r0bber-Onc Henry
Graves, set out to md him which he did on
the 2nd inst, At Memphis. Mr. Picker
had traced him from this point 10 Louis
Vile, st. Louis, Nashville and on to Mem
phis where he came up with and brought
him back TO Humboldt where the robbery
occurred and upon being arraignct, Graves
plead guilty and was bound over IN bond
of one thousand dollars, in default Of which
he was committed TO Jail.
Thus we have another evidence that no
one can violate the laws Al Humboldt and
escape its clutches.
We received a pipe a few days ago from
Rev. NJ. L. Senter. which he told Us was
pipe Of consolation, but from its huge de
mcn,ions and high pnce Of smoking tobac-
co VIC could not see the consolation. We
think it grained on the inside Of some
thing less than peck Of corn, and from
the length Of the stem and its size, we are
suspicious that somebody's fishing tackle
has been intcrlcrcd with. The pipe was
raised on a farm near Spring Greek, Madi-
son county, and measured ~ inches In
circumference.

A BIG DAY.-Over three hun
bred wagons were in the city, on
Tuesday, loaded with cotton. La
fayette, Liberty and Market streets,
were completely bloCkaded. \ spe-
cial detail of two policemen, was
made, to keep the streets open. 1t
kept them busy, and although they
discharged their duty, the very
best they could, yet, frequently
| during the day, even men on horse
| back could not make their way
along these streets. On Wednes-
day, the crowd and the crush was
nearly as great as on Tuesday. 1t
/ is estimated, that over nine hum
bred bales of cotton were on our
streets, Tuesday and Wednesday,
/ As a market, Jackson has no equal
/ this side of Memphis. Planters ap-
| preciatc this fact. Hence the rush
| of cotton to Jackson. Our cotton
receipts, and the general trade of
/ the city, is an immense improve
ment on past years.
Give Us the Jackson and Birming-
/ ham road, and Jackson will speedi-
/ Is become a metropolitan city. We
must hold what we have, and gain
more. if we would achieve this
grand aspiration. The Birmingham
| road, IS the key which unlocks the
/ future, and which will establish
Jackson. Speed its construction.
