from arresting a man whom he just

sounded and in shorter time than it
takes us to write this, forty or fifty cit
liens armed with well loaded shot
guns and Henry rifles, rushed to the
aid of the officers. In the mean time
the roughs had taken refuge in hotel.
OF course they were arrested, and of

have been had there been hundred of

There was ball at Petersburg-tkis YOU
Ahda young man who lives Just below,
Came up early in the action and led quite

Who treated all the young ladies' on sods

had more.
He treated so fast that the clerk had not

But just made notch on a stick, ant
said that was all right,
The young man after making his glori
Gus treat
Would go back in the ball room and short
ly afterwards was seen coming bach
to trade off another sack of wheat
The ball closed at three,
And the young man was seen between
that and four,
Upon his noble gray,
Riding silently and slowly away.
The next day when he came to paw,
The clerk his bill did call, and the young
man began to pine away,
But presently he exclaimed, l believe

For l, sir, do not believe the girls would
drink up all Of my crop of wheat.

For the Fayetteville Observer.
PETERSBURG, Tenn, Aug.2, IA.
Mr. N. 0. WdIlace--SIR-
If you have a sly little nook in
your excellent paper, we think
you will allow our pen once a
gain to fill it, and let the news
from this end of old Lincoln be
heard. We promise in the out
set that it shall not be long MOI
loud to any alarming extent
At present, as in the old adage
call things are lovely and the
goose hangs high" Hen roosts
are quiet, smoke houses are at
present inactive. How long
this State of affairs will remain
is very uncertain; circumstan-
ces alter cases, and when cases
arise different from the present
then hen roosts will be lively
and bacon sides will be in great
demand. We are indeed thank
full for the present inactivity.
and hope it will long continue,
as we are decidedly in favor of
retaining all, unless some OF
"Uncle Sans Stamps" are pre-
scented to our view. We are
having fine weather now on one
hand, as the sun diffuses just
heat enough through the air to
give it an agreeable tempera-
ture, while on the other, the
sons of the soil are faring in the
vocative, as rain is very much
needed at this particular juno
ture. Corn is suffering greatly
in this Section, and in many pla-
ces adjoining, and unless it
rains shortly it will be passed,
as in the old saying, all surgery.
The grass is becoming perfectly
parched by the incessant rays
Of old sol. The farmers were
greatly disappointed on last
evening, as a dark cloud arose
threatening a big rain, but to
their utter disappointment. The
whole heavens were in a storm
full appearance, the scene open
in the west, with a whole hori-
zeG full Of golden interpenetrat-
ing lustre which covered the fol-
iage and frightened every OBJ
iect into its own rich dyes, the
colors grew deeper until all was
transfused in storm cloud full
of the finest lightning, which
