ANOTHER war has been inaugurated in
the South. This time at Vicksburg.
Cause: incompetent, dishonest officials,
in positions of trust, refusing or incap-
able of giving sufficient security for the
safety Of public funds, were invited to
resign. Fearing probable violence they
did resign, but privately called on the
negroes in the surrounding country to
reinstate them. The attempt was made
and failed as will be seen from the de-
tailed account in an other column.

A DAsTARDLY outrage was committed
some time this week on a horse, by q
brute in human shape. Mr.. Torrison
sold horse to some man in the county,
and took $50 in cash, balance Of the
amount in q note. After some days the
man brought the horse back, saying it
was not heavy enough for his work, and
wanted to swap again. Torrison gave
the man his note but kept the handsel
money. The horse was put il Torr1-
sons barn. Next morning the horses
tongue was found to have been cut out.
Slow roasting before hot fire, would
be too lenient punishment for the
scoundreI that committed the deed.

The Rankin DefaIeation.

DES MONIES, April 2.-There is much
excitement in this city tonight over the
return of the indictments to-day by the
Grand Jury of the District Court of Polk
county against Isaac Brandt, Deputy under
eX-State Treasurer Rankin. These indict-
ments are for embeZzlement or appropria-
tiOn of public monies in the shape Of
interest or bonuses on State drafts of de-
pOsit. The evidence on which the indict-
ments are based is not yet made public,
but the amount of money he is charged with
thus apprOpriating is reported at aboutforty
thousand dollars, a sum about equal to the
original Rankin defalcation. Brandt was
arrested and subsequently released
on 5000 bail on each indict-
ment, or $4,000 in all. 1t
was generally known that the
grand jury was to engage in a re-examina-
ton Ofthe Rankin defaleatiOn, indictments
of the last grand jury against Rankin hay-
ing been quashed; but this new develop
ment was unexpected and has created great
excitement in the community.
Six indictments returned against Rankin,
for embeZzlement of State funds, are
dismissed, and all indictments now re-
turned are for embezzlement of moneys of
the State Agricultural College. Rankin has
also given bail. The alleged facts thu:
freshly developed have run the gauntlet Oi
two legislative investigations without
being discovered. The greatest interest i:
now about the trial of final proof

We find in our Tennessee exchanges the
following complimentary mention of Maj.
Henry Heiss:
Maj. Henry Heiss, late managing editor
of the st. Louis Ti1,eS, has accepted sim
liar position on the NASHVILLE UNION
AND AMERICAN. Mai. HeisS, it will be
remembered, was for several years after the
war connected editoTially with the Nash
rilIe Bonner, and the great popularity of
that journal at that time must, to eonsid-
able extent, be ascTibed to his admirable
management of the various departments
assigned him. He is unquestionably one
of the most forcible aud brilliant writers
on the Southern press, and the UNION
AND AMERICAN is fortunate in having
him at the head of its editorial staff
Fayetteville Express.
MAJOR HENRY HEISS.-We are glad to
welcome back to our State this warm-heart-
ed, genial and accomplished gentlemen.
He enters upon his duties as editor of the
UNION AND AMERICAN, and will doubt
less infnse a fresh life into that influential
journal. Major Heiss is a man of ability,
thoroughly acquainted with the wants of
the State, and will labor to restore concord,
stimulate industry and enterprise, andpush
the State forward in its career of material
progress and development. We repeat we
welcome him back. The State can i'll af-
ford to lose the services of such men.-Rlt-
raj Stul.ls 1Ee,--- Lr tt
Maj. Harry Heiss, late managing editor of
the 50. LoRts Times, las accepted like
position with the NASHVILLE UNION AND
AMERICAN. Mai. is a graceful
writer, a generous, kinI-hesrted gentleman
and an energetic and enterprising news
paper man. His experience is of several
years standing. He is an acquisition to
Tennessee journalism of which We do not
feel ashamed. The UNION AND AMERI-
CAN is worthy of congratulation in this be-
half.-hnoIUale Chronicle. "a
MAJ. HENRY HESS has severed his con-
nection with the st. Louis Times, with
which he has been associated for year or
more, to join the UNION AND AMERICAN
corps. He is an excellent writer and re-
liable Democrat, and will add materially
to the interest and influence of the paper

MAJ. HARRY HEIsS, one of the best
newspaper men in the South, has severed
his connection with the st. Louis Times, OF
which he has been managing editor for two

Mr.. Wilson resumed his remarks and
eontended that the currency should be so
adjusted as that every section ofthe country
should have equal facilities for the transac-
tion Of business. He believed that that
result would be accomplished by free bank
ing. But if he could not get free bsnking,
then he should vote for the next best propo-
sltion. That was TO take from the States
that had an excessive circulation and dis
tribute that excess among the States that
had not their fair share.
Mr.. Kelley gave notice that at the close
of the debate he would offer his 1856" bill
as a substitute for the bill of the committee.
The House then took recess till 7:30, the
evening session to be for discussion of the
currency bill.

CHICAGO, April 2.-The Baptist Eccle-

for some two months past in the trial of
Rev. Florence Mccarthy, of Union Park
Church, on charges of unchristian and IN
ministerial conduct, preferred by the dea-
cons of his church, concluded its labors. at
midnight last night, majority of the coun-
ell agreeing upon a report Withdrawing
from the accused the hand Of ministerial
fellowship, but not advising the church to
expel him from membership. A respect
able minority of the council disagreed with
this conclusion and will probably make
their view of the case public.
Lateral meeting of the members
of the Union Park Baptist Church tonight,
a resolution dissOlving the pastoral relation
to that church of Rev. Mccarthy was
adopted by vote of 30 to IL. Forty-five
members who would have voted against the
resolution, and forty-three others who
would have voted with the majority, were
disfranchised under the rules of the church.

THE GAY GAMBoLIERs.


A dispatch received from Memphis last
night states that probably all the coupons
of ticket 55,104, which drew the capital
prize, are held in that city. 1t would be
singular if Memphis should draw the
whole of this prize, the first capital prize
given having been drawn by Mr.. John
Durff; who resided in that city at the date
of the first drawing. We have very few
additional reports, rs vet, from outside
cities. Louisville takes in a very small
proportion of the amount distributed.
Probably $4,000 will cover all that was
drawn here.
An old man entered the Office of the
United States Hotel at an early hour yes
terday morning and asked the
clerk to write on a little piece
of paper the name Of William Lewis,
Utica, Indiana. He said William Lewis
was his brother, and that he and another
brother held the ticket which drew S15, 900.
1t is only possible that he held portion Of
the ticket, for two-tenths of il are held by
clubs at Beaver Dam, Ky.
The detectives of the city had ventmed
largely in the drawing (seveTal hundred
dollars worthy and some of them had con-
fidentially informed reporter that he need
not come to them any longer after the draw
ing for items, as they were going to quit the
item business; but yesterday no resignation
had been sent to the Mayor from that very
useful body of citizens, and, on inquirinG,
We were informed thai lew approximates
were held, but we knoF from the blue
countenances Of the detectives that Library
money was rather scarce with them.
There was probably some $1,000 invested
by various persons connected with the
COu1er-JOUuRdL office. So far as heard
from, the amount of receipts returned are
not overwhelming-fifty dollars or so viii
cover the entire sum.
Colgan's nickel club drew prize on an
approximate ticket, and the subscribers are
entitled each to one cent and half. They
propose to take it out in tolu.
The Tarpot Club of the EaSt-end is in al
interesting situation. The popularity o.
this club, previous to the late drawing, was
that its members had never drawn anything
never expected to and would not take
prize if they did draw it. At the draWini
on Thursday their ticket drew S75, anC
now they want to find somebody who i
willing to take that money.
In this come ctiOn we may pronounce
statement contained in a letter publishe,
in yesterdays Cincinnati Commercial, t.
the effect that the sixty thousand ticket
had been placed in the wheel, instead o
forty-iive Thousand, as baseleSs and utterl,
false. Such a fraud could have been con
summated only by the connivance of som
twenty or thirty gentlemen, whose reliabil
itv no man dares question.
