could to untangle the matter,

ges that the acreage Of tue present
wheat crop Of Tennessee is at
least GO per cent. larger than any
previous year ever planted in the
State, and the crop is reported. to
be unusually promising from every
section of the. State. Our farm.
ers seem at least to be alive to
their interest, and are determined
to follow the idea so long urged,
that it is better to raise the wheat
they consume, as far as lies with.
in their power. We ought, as a
producing community, to eXporl
five times much as we now do, and
import less by one.half. Such a |

RE Last Monday, the 9TH,
there was a Eight of races" at
Vicksburg, Miss, resulting in
the killing and wounding Of
three white men and % negroes.
The trouble grew out of the
negro sheriff acting without
legal bond. The taxpayer
association demanded that he
should make u bond according
10 law. or vacate the office. He
refused to do either, but sent TO
the country for negro force to
sustain him. Seven hundred
responded, and attacked the
city on three different roads,
with the result above mentioned.

Southern Sentiments.

days after tle recent election, has
the following words:
"The party we represent is
firmly pledged by all that is sac
ed among men to ire it's utmost

Of good government to all tle
people OF this State. and under
Tie Providence Of God, it remains
TO bc seen whether our party is e
lu4t 10 the responsible aud ar

rdience to the laws OF the Uni
ted States, and promptly bearing
our share oi the burdens of the
General Government, whether in
war or IN peace, we must also cul-
tivate such other relations that
the citizens of every State com
posing our great Union who may
from time to time have business
with Us or come into our midst
shall receive that justice and
hearty welcome ut our hands due

II these sentiments are TO lie

must follow that there is a feeling
in the Southern States quite diff

~ The late election in
Louisiana reveals the sad fact
that more than three-fourths of
the voters cannot write their
names. While the greater part
Of this illiteracy belongs to the
negroes, i'll some sections the
whites make bad show. In
St. Landry it is said 1,715 white
voters, or one-half Of the white
voters Of the parish, were una
bic to sign their names, and ], =
403, or five-sixths OF the ne
groes, were unable to write.
The total amounts to three-fifths
of the voting population of the
parish. The n. 0. Picdy1ne
says ut a timely moment: of
our prosperity is to be lasting,
it will not do to hide any of
these troubles. There will have
to be some determined action
on many questions, and on this
question in particular"

MIR. EDITOR Through the kindness OF
o friend my attention was called to an arti-
Gle in to-day's issue of your paper given as
u statement made by one William Thomas,
COL, who has been recently convicted of an
assault with intent to kill upon John P.
Cochran, in connection with which my
name is very wrongfully used. And as in
justice to myself ask you to give this arti-
as did the other occupy. 1t would be folly
to enter into lengthy reply in order TO
defend myself Of charge 30 totally untrue.
Therefore let il suffice to say, that had no
knowledge whatever, either directly or in
directly Of { may say the uncommon oc-
currence which gave rise TO the suit IN court
already alluded to, prior to the outbreak, Of
the fight at the Odessa polls on the Sth OF
Nov. 1870, and no more than that any other
spectator who happened to be present. And
as to the meeting at Mt. Pleasant spoken OF
have no recollection OF everi attending O
meeting, public or private, Of white or. col
ored persons, of a political or spiritual
nature at or near Mt. Pleasant al
any time within the last forty. years
have never had the pleasure oi
VIM. Thomas's acquaintance and conse-
quently don't know what his propensitie,
are, but to say the least Of him, am very
much Inclined to the opinion that his recol-
lection of things transpiring little more
than four years ago. must be very bad In
deed. Either this or something else ha.
caused this great error no doubt,snd thini
vsry likely something else. I am frank t,
acknowledge that have attended meetingI
of various kinds, at different times an,
places, for instance, I was at BrowntowI
you know, but not at Mt Pleasant.
