UnGavorabIe Cotton Crop Reports
Fr.m the Pnnnla StaI

From the Pamela Star.
The condition of crops in this county is
truly lamentabIe, and the total failure to
make any crop ut all on many farms is
greatly feared. The continued, unprece-
denied fall of rain has prevented the crops
from being worked, and the grass and
weeds have gotten such strong hold upon
many entire crops in the county that it will
be impossible to save them, even ii we
should have fair weather, which present APP
pearances do not Indicate. We have seen
farmers from every section of the county
within the past week, and the crop, espe-
cially the cotton crop, is reported 10 be in
county.

THE NEGRO EXPERIMENT. IN JAMAICA
"A correspondent of the London Times
states substantially that at the census OF
1871 there were 500, 154 inhabitants on
the island, of whom 10, 101 were white.
IN the decade preceding 1871 the whites
decreased 715, while the blacks increased
6,614. 1t is said the coolie labor has
not been successful; and the whites, I'M
able to make anything out of free negroes,
are leaving their landed property and

Ex.(sOV. Browns Letter ON the Re-
pudiafed Bonds.

The scheme of the Radical leaders to
tax the people of the State to pay the
$40, 900, 900 of repudiated bonds has in
vested the subject with a new and start
ling interest Il is known that move
ment is on foot to procure a pledge to
pay the pretended claim, and that several
hundred thousand dollars of bride money
are to be used to carry out the project.
A long letter from ex-GoY. Brown, in ex-
PLANTATION of the entire question of the
repudiated debt, is. published 1t will
be read with interest, as a clear and able
exposition Of the subject On one point
only, do we feel constrained to express
dissent from the statements of the distin-
guished author. We do not think that
the mere form of putting the question of
the payment of the Planters Bank bonds
to the people in 1858 had any bearing on
their decision. The people very well I'M
derstood what it meant; and knew well
what they meant when they cast mega
tive vote. They intended to say,
and they did say emphaticalIy that their
generation had no lot nor part in the
creation of the debt, and that they did
not intend to pay it. AS to the mere
form of presenting the question, it had
nothing to do with their action. The
people were intelligent enough to know
that the bonds could not be paid except
by taxation. ~
And now, after reposing in the grave
to which they consigned it twenty years
or more ago, the question of paying the
repudiated bonds has been resurreeted
and dragged tefore the bar of still an
other generation. The taxpayers are
the ultimate arbiters, and their decision
will be again invoked in the pending
election.

Indiana, after all, is subjecting her
loyalty to serious imputation. The
Supreme Court of that State has Just
unanimously decided that:
Neither the Fourteenth Amendment to
the Constitution of the United States nor
the Civil Rights bill passed by Congress,
has impaired or abrogated the laws Of this
State on the subject of the marriage of
whites aud negroes. Such union between
members Of the different races Is a criminal
offence by the statutes of this State. = $50

ONE THIRD WILL HAVE TO BE ABANDONED
Frol the Summit Times

We are in receipt of the most discourage
ing crop reports from all parts of South
Mississippi aud East Louisiana. In some
sections it has rained daily for six weeks,
in Others for two or three weeks. From all
the information we can gather, at least one
third of the cotton crop will be abandoned
in order To save the balance. The worm
has made its appearance in considerable
numbers both in this and Marion county.

The proceeding is extraordinary
throughout. The powers of taxation is
thus sought to be taken from the people
and vested in an authority wholly ire
sPonsible to them; and yet the Comp
troller fails TO meet the issue with this
unanswerable defense in their cause.
As the Comptroller is the representa-
tive of a Carpet-bag administration, the
proceeding shows that the adventures
themselves have repudiated the obliga-
tons which they created, and on which
they have realized their fortunes. The
loss will not fall upon them, but the
reckless Spectators who bought the
bonds, knowing their fraudulent charac-
ter, and who deserve no pity. The cum
ming c. B. s have left them the bag to
hold, and we are glad, provided the
people escape the burden in the end.

Some of the Wall street spectators in
the Carpet-bag bonds of South Carolina
have actually applied for judicial order
to compel the Comptroller of south Car
DINA to levy tax to pay the interest on
them. The Comptroller, in his return
of the writ, protests against the proceed
ing, and claims that the bonds upon
which the petition is based were not law
fully hypothecated and sold, and that
large portion of them, amounting to
81, 791 700, were issued without warrant
of law, and he therefore asks that an in
vestigation shall be had to determine
what portion of the entire public debt of
the State, which amounts to nearly $16,-

A TERRIBLE marine disaster occurred
on the night of the 22ud ins: in the En-
glish Channel. The emf grant ship North
feet sailed from London a day or two
before for Australia, with 4l2 passengers
exclusive cf her crew. At midnight she
came in collision, two miles off Cungle
ness with an unknown steamship and
was cut down to the waters edge.
Only eighty-fve persons are known tr
be saved, and it is believed that every
other passenger who were ON board found
watery grave. No attention was paid
by the steamship to the emigrant vessel
after The collision and she proceeded or
her course, leav ing the sufferers to theil
fate
When the collision happened a panic
occurred on the Northaeet. The passen
gers who were asleep rushed from theil
berths to every portion of the ship where
they thought they might be safe, and ut
terly refused to obey the orders of the
captain. That officer, as last resort to
enforce obedience to his command, was
compelled to fire upon the terror stricken
people, and one of them was wounded
1t is believed that if the passengers had
obeyed the orders of the captain, more OF
them would have been saved.
The Nor,hAeet was lying at anchor at
tho time the collision occurred. Her car
60 consisted of railway iron. Three hun
dred and twenty-one persons were drown
ed, including the captain of the i'll fated
vessel.
The name of the steamer which ran
into the ship has not yet been ascertain
ed, but she is believed to have been a
Spanish vessel.
1t is believed that the Spanish steam
ship Murillo was the vessel which coll
ided with the English ship Mortified,
and that she has been lost with all on
board.

IT is said that the whisky ring has
raised a fund to buy the Legislature over
to repeal of the Local Option law. The
people have not-with the exception of
Clearfeld and Bradford counties-had an
opportunity to vote on this question
The law should not be repealed. 1t can
not be possible that the Legislature has
reached the degree of debauchery that
some people would have us believe. 1t
cannot be possible that it has reached
such miserable state Of existence that
it can be bought by the money of the
liquor men. A Philadelphia paper speaks
of the situation Of this question at Har-
risburg as follows:
There is lobby now forming to de-
feat the local option law passed last ses-
sion. 1t is very evident that the effect
of local option will be at once to depreci-
ate the value of an immense amount Of
real estate, and that large sums of money
now invested in stock and fixtures in
breweries, distilleries, &c, will be lost,
because there is no longer any doubt that
local option will be adopted in nearly, if
not all the counties of the State. if the
law is not repealed before the 18th of
March. This makes the stake tremen-
dous one, and it would be cheap if its
defeat would cost one hundred thousand
dollars. The liquor men of Pittsburg
and Philadelphia are reported as being
at work to defeat the law, and among
them are many men of respectability and
energy, who will. of course, do what they
can to save their business from being ut
terly wrecked. In the meantime there is
a deep and determined feeling among the
people to maintain the law in force, so
that when the test of repeal is made in
the Legislature, legislators who vote for
it must make up their minds to confront
an angry constituency. The friends of
local option must be wide awake, or they
will be outwitted in their mission of
mercy"

Fight with Indians.

A fight took place between United
States troops and Capt Jacks Modoc
Indians, near the boundary line between
California and Oregon. on the 18th inst.
Washington dispatches, regarding the
fight, cay:
Official dispatches have been received
at army headquarters from General Can
by, dated Portland, Oregon, January 2O'
giving an account of the attack of Col.
Wheaton upon the Modoc stronghold on
the I7,h inst. The fight lasted from s
o'clock in the morning until dark A
force of artillery and infantry has been
ordered from the Department of Column
bia into the dist lets of the lakes, and
company of cavalry was ordered into the
district for the protection of the Surprise
Valley. Reports reaching General Can
by from the interior posts as to the dis
position of the Indians are entirely salts
factory, although they appear to be fully
appriscd of the difficulty with the Modocs
Later intelligence from the scene of the
battle with the Modocs shows that four
teen whites were killed and twenty three
wounded. Captain Jack is evidently
contemplating raid upon the white set
tlement at Battle Creek, within 40 miles
of Yreka In the recent fight the In
dams captured several guns and con-
siderable quantity of ammunition.
Particulars about the battle do not
change the results as first announced
An eye witness says the troops fought
with determined bravery, but coull not
see their fee. Once only during the day
did the Indians manifest willingness to
fight in open field, and a company of
soldiers charged upon them, when they
fled back to their rocky coverts. The
dense fog protected each party, and pre-
vented the Indians from picking Oft the
troops at long range with their riAes.-
The Oregon volunteers, aching as the rear
guard, made gallant fight, and prevent
ed the wounded men, the howitzers and
camp equipase from falling into the hands
of the Modocs.
Captain Jack preserves regular military
discipline, and drills his men every day,
with the assistance of persons we'll ac-
quainted with military tactics. and who
are supposed to be renegade whites who
have become their allies.
General Wheaton has established his
headquarters at Lone Tree, and will COM
mence active operations on the arrival of
reinforcemen;s. lie has de:achments
stationed to prevent the savages from
raiding on the settlements.
Men from the scene of the fight with
the Modocs say the squaws took part in
the battle One soldier was killed by a
squaw. Col. Perry was shot while roll
ing down hill, at the top of which he had
been surrounded by Indians.

On Sunday, the 10Th inst. fire broke
out at Parkers landing, Pa. 1t was one
of the most destructive that ever visited
that section of the country. Over one
hundred families are rendered houseless
by the conaagration, and, as business has
been almost stagnant throughout the oil
region during the past year, and money
exceedingly scarce, it is feared that great
suffering may result from the destruction
of their houses. The fire originated in
the uppcrpart of Dolan's saloon. and as
the day was bitterly cold and high winds
prevailed, the fire spread rapidly in a
northerly and southerly direction, con-
suming every house in the upper part of
the town. The buildings were all of
wood, and the flames spread with such
rapidity that it was impossible to check
them. There was one hand-engine at
Parker'e, but it was rendered altogether
useless by the hose col]apsing and freez.
