MEMPHIS, April 22.-Lieutenant
Cushman. of the 10th infantry, sta
toned at Little Rock, arrived here
this afternoon, to communicate with
the President concerning the firing
on Colonel Rose last night, which he
states he could not do there, in con,
sequence of violent par,izan feeling in
the telegraph Office. According to
his statement, Col. Rose had secured
an armistlce between the rival fac
tions, which was to continue until 0
o'clock this morning, but that last
night, Col. White, with regiment of
armed negroes, marched to the ln-
thony House, where he made a vic.

them, calling on Baxter to allow him

troops. Col. Rose, hearing .he dis
turbance, mounted a spirited horse
and rode down to inform White that
he was not complying with the terms
of the truce in marching his men to
that point. Col. Rose was unarmed,

. Midland Rail Road.

We receive with delight the an
nouncement that the charter of the
Z" Midland" railway has been SO
amended as TO include this city in
its route. This quiets all apprehen-
sions son the subject, and unites our
people IN the opinion that the "Mid-
land "is the grandest thing in the
way OF a railroad yet proposed in
this State.
Not of those who have suspected
the Incorporators or any one of them
OF any sinister design with regard to
q subsidy and all that, we have ad-
vocated the road from the first; and
having done so IN good faith,
we are now especially graf
ified that all uncertainty Y
Is removed, and that our city by law
shares equally the magnificent pros-
pective advantages OF this road.
These are simply incstimable. Not
only does the road, when built, ins:l.
tute wholesome competition ia rail-
way transportation for this city and
for all Central and Southeastern
Texas, but reaching out 10 its grand
design TO the bounds of that much
neglected region, the Texas frontier,
it cuts the Guordian knot OF protec-
ton by the same stroke with which it
developes an Empire second to none
in Its now latent resoEces of gran
deur and wealth.
Success then to the Midland and
may we all live to shake hands over
its completion all the way through
from the Texas Pacific on the West
to Beaumont and New Orleans in the
Southeast.

companied by an orderly armed with
tive holster pistols. On reaching
White, Rose asked what he meant
by breaking the truce, and ordered
hlm to dispose of his mob. White
made some reply not heard, and fired
his pistol at Rose, and shouted to his
men to fire. which they did, generally
in the air, hut several persons were
wounded, as already reported. Roses
orderly attempted to draw his pistol,
but his horse became unmanageable,
and ran with HIM before he could
draw il from his holster. As soon as
the firing commenced, Rose rode back
to the engine house, where company
G, of the 10th Infantry, was sta
toned, and ordered the men to run
out the hook and ladder truck and
form barricade, which was speedily
done, and the men placed behind 1t.

beneficial to children, and yet SO searching
as to eflectually purge out the great cor
