dollar per head from the voters of
WapellO county would purchase the
Fair Grounds, besides adding to the
improvements thereon, greatly. If the
ladies should also contribute to con-
siderable extent, with a small mite,
the grounds could be fitted up in ele-
giant style. What magnificent and
comfortable place the grounds might
be made by the contribution of very
small sum from each citizen. Will not

At Memphis, Tenn, on the 9th day

At Memphis, Tenn, on the 9th day
of August, meeting of citizens was
held to express disapprobation of the
murder Of some sixteen colored per.
sons. JEFF Davis made speech in
closing which he said: II have no
Z" feelings against the cOlored man.
Z" The only Indignation which l feel is
against those white men who have
carried them into the position which
!" they now occupy. Let us have our
vengeance against them and not
against the poor blacks" JEFF Davis
then says it is q misfortune that slavery
is overthrown; that men, women and
children are no longer knocked of mp
ON the auction block to the highest
bidder. Because this is the result OF
tho suppression ofhis rebellion against
the nation, he feels indignat at the
white loyal people who brought It
about Because his rebellion, which
was to erect nation in the south, tho
chief corner stone of which was to be
slavery, did not succeed, Jch ia indig-
nant. Doubtless he speaks the truth
as far as he goes. But when he depre-
Gates the murder of those blacks, as he
saws, we have no doubt that he does it
with a mental reservation, that he
would like to ace anarchy continue to
reign and rule in the south, to the end
that the Lost cause might profit by 1t
II II is thought we judge too harshly,
We reply that TO our mind any man,
who will inauguratc a great rebellion
to found y nation of Shareholders and
slaves, cannot in our opinion, be mis-
| Judged in the enormiiy Of his desires.
We have no doubt but that This old
uurepeutsnt traitor would like to see
the combined opposition TO the rcpub.
lican party succeed, as the, to him,
plain result would be triumph of the
old democratic party.

different principles, was on trial be-
fore the people. But forgetting for

THE ooNsraArTA srAssACRE.

= =
On the 30th Of August a party of
citizens were arrested below Shrcve-
port, Louisiana. They were officers
of the law, many Of them, including
the sheriff OF the county and his dep
uty, and some of them were colored
men. They had been summarily de-
prived Of their ofices by white men,
and their crime was : rightful effort
to retain possession Of their ohlcial
places. They were being taken to
Shreveport to jail, and while en- route
near the Louisians, Texas, line, band
of desperadoes took them from their
guards and shot them. This 10 q way
they have down there among Demo-
cratic white leagues. They get up
huo and cry of some insurrection bo.
ing gotten up by negroes and bands Of
white men scour the county for them.
Sometimes the colored people in
self-detense, show fight, and parties
are killed on both sides, and IL the
whites are overpowered, the telegraph
lines are put in reqnisition, and y mas
sacre Of whites 10 reported, and troops
demanded. In any event It finally |
turns out that some ring-leaders, as
they are called, Of the negroes, are ar
rested, and In almost every instance |
these prisoners, when disarmed, are
either murdered on their way to jail,
or after they are put in jail, they arc
taken out forcibly by . masked party |
Of whites and shot, or hung. These
white leaguers are very brave after
they have their victims disarmed, and
they mercilessly murder them in cold
blood.

THE COTTON cATHRP1LLAR.

The cotton pest and planters ruin
is at last developed. Yesterday the
caterpillar excitement eliminated in
universal concession as to its exis-
tence everywhere, and fearful de-
moralization pervaded all classes.
Many large planters assert that
the danger is more threatening than
last year, and express the belief that
the disaster will DO more general
and more complete; while many
others are more skeptical and more
hopeful. On some plantations none
have yet been discovered, but the
closest observers and those who
seem to be most alive to the impor-
lance ofvigorous efforts to check the
ruin say, and say with emphasis,
that they are in every field and in
such q state as to'awaken the most
alarming approximations.
The lamps are being applied with
renewed energy, and large orders
have gone forward for arsenic and
Paris green.
We have had fine weather for ten
days, but good cotton weather Is AL
so good caterpillar weather, and but
little hope is entertained from the
probable effects Of sun or rain. --At-

In removing the wooden cornice
of the United States Hotel yester-
day the interstices were found to be
filed with hoDeycomb. Bees had
lined the entire cornice with honey,
and over two hundred pounds was
secured by Mr.. Hammel, the pro-
prietor Of the hotel. Parties are
now endeayoring to hive bees, Of
which there is an immense swarm, or
several swarms. Many houses in
the city are thus stored with the pro-
duct Of the busy bee. Between the
ceiling and the root the house in
which we write Temple Block
there arc tons Of honey. Bees have
been hiying in our roof for eight
years, and frequently, when the
weather is very sultry, the pure
honey percolates through the crew.

Whenever we require honey, all
we have to do is to bore a hole

BE NATURAL.

One Of the fashionable follies Of
the day ia the affection Of GOODNESS.
1t is considered vulgar to be demons
strative. You meet an old friend
il is a blessing to your eyes to behold
him once more. Your heart leaps
up the sight Of him Your impulse
is to grasp him warmly by the hand.
You feel almost like embracing him
in your Joy.
You must do nothing of the kind
No ripple must be permitted to ruff
dc the smooth equilibrium and indif-
ference Of your feelings. You must
greet him politely, but without emo
ton. So the false etiquette Of which
we speak teaches.
Self-possession is strong quality,
but we do not believe in this kind Of
self possession. And the people who
school themselves in this are not apt
to have the other and the better kind.
They are not aptto manifest self pos
session on such occasion as really call
for it--occasions of difficulty and
ger, and Of great trials. Touch their
self-loye, make any unusual demand
upon them for self-denial, and their
assumed and superficial self posses
sien yanishes in an instant.
For ourselves, we like naturalness
of manner. Seem as you feel. Let
the heart speak, or what is the use
off heart.
