CHICAGO, September 6.-An Inter-
Ocean special from Jackson, Miss, says
Warren and Kinds counties are i'll Il
state Of :nsurrection.
The sheriff of Kinds cour,y. in his
official report to Governor Alnes, says
that he yesterday Summoned posse to
quell rlotous ,,roceedings On arriv-
ing at Chr.,on he found the town quiet,
but binds of white men were marand-
lp:S in the country, shooting peaceable
, and innocent colored citizens within
the town limits.
Detached squads were wandering
around driving colored men from THEN
homes. lie found it impossible to pro-
tect colored men against these parties
The blacks are unarmed and de-
fenseless. The slaughter of coloreo
men was fearful, and nobody knows
! where it will end, should the Governor
not interfere. A gentleman from Ray
mond says it is believed over hun
bred negroes have been killed in three
days.
This is merely hearsay, but it is GER
tain fifteen or twenty have persisted a.
bout Clinton. White men, bearing arms
stand at all depots, and under pretense
Of self defense shoot down negroes il
cold blood. Massacres are reported a
several points, but none of these reports
are authenticated.

A Washington special to the Balti-
more Sun says: The amount of silver
accumulated by the treasury has now
become so large that where to stow it
away has become question for serious
consideration. There is room for no
more i'll the vaults of the treasury. In d.,
quiry was made as to whether few tons
could not be provided in 1.-The vault of
the new public building of Boston, but
it was found that the vault was SO weak-
ly constructed that it would not sustain
the weight. If the secretary could see
bis way clear to the maintenance Ct sill :
yer resumption he could easily settle
the;dificulty by putting his bright pieces
into circulation. and thus get rid of
them, but under present circumstances
this method would be moro ef1ectual
than agreeable.

LOUISVILLE, August Within the
past week considerable commotion has
been created among the Catholic clergy
and laity Of the diocese of Louisville,
growing out of the removal by Bishop
McCloskey of Rev. Father Box, pastor
of St. Johns church, of Louisville, and
his transfer to Bowling Green, Ken
lucky, in place of Rev. Father De
Vries, who was ordered to Harden
burg, Kentucky. Father De Vries re.
fused togo, and appealed to Rome
which action and other circumstances
Of a rebellious character connected
with the removals caused Bishop
McCloskey to depute Very Rev.
Father Blanchett, vicar general, and
Very Rev. Father Dunn, chancellor, to
proceed TO Rome for the purpose OF
representing him, and they are now on
their way there. St. Johns copgrega.
ton made an appeal to the bishop to
rescind the order removing Father Box
but without effect.
In order to sllay what threatened to
become a public scandal, Bishop
McCloskey concluded, although con-
trary to usage" to explain matters from
the pulpit, yesterday, defending his
action aud assigning Is the cause OF
the trouble that Father },eVries had
refused to finish the yearly report OF
the financial condition of his parish
for which he was removed to anothe,
parish.

On Monday evening Governor
kelnper,, of Virginia, arrived at HAIRS
risonburg, on his return from a brief
visit to Rawley Springs His presence
becoming known, the citizens of the
town turned out IN full force and ten-
dered him the compliment of serena de.
In response the Governor made brief
speech, In which he touched upon the
Safe debt, and from his statement
there is not shadow of excuse for the
talk Of reputation now being INDUCED
III by some Of the political demago CUES
in that State. Governor Kemper stated
that last year the State paid something
M re than 100000 interest on it's
dcbt-which is more than five per cent.
ypon its indebtedness-and that with
che growing prosperity of the Com
mon wealth its material wealth was in
sreasing SO that the increase of taxa
ton would be necessary, and that the
levy now imposed would soon pay six
per cent, or full interest. Governor
Kemper is known to haye bee,l strong
opponent of the s'funding bill, b. that
his statements of what has been accoHls
plished under its operations are cer-
tainly encouraging to the people of the
old Commonwealth.

DENVER, Col, Sept. 4.-Partlculars
have been received Of an engagement
on the 18th of August between the
Gardner and Gerrett party of Hayden
survey and band OF Sierra Lasel Utes,
near the line of New Mexico. The
fight lasted twenty one hours, and
resulted in loss to the Gardner and
Gerrett party of all their baggage and
nearly all their provisions. They all
escaped without injury. The party
were in the saddle forty eight hours
out of sixty. After the morning OF
the 18th, for the first thirty six hours
they were without water and almost
without food, except an interval OF
three hours il, the night. The lighting
was incessant from five O'Clock IN the
afternoon of the 18th till the afternoon
of the 10th All are, however, well
and in good spirits, only regrettlng
that they did not kill Indians enough
to make up for the loss Of instruments
and baggage.

A SEWING MACHINE AGENT RoAsr1

A SEWING MACHINE AGENT ROASTED.
The usually quiet village of Leesport.
on the line of ohe Philadelphia & Read
ng railroad, eight miles above this city,
has had sensation which has caused
la great deal of amusement A Reading
sewing machine agent induced the head
of family there to take machine and
pay for it in monthly instalments. Be-
fore the machine was entirely paid fol
the husband and father died. The wild
ow was in destitute circumstances, with
a half dozen children, and unable to pay
the balance owing on the machine,
when the agent came around to take it
away. She was determined that the
machine should not be taken away I'M
til he had handed back at least part OF
the money that had been paid on it by
her husband. He was apparently just
as determined to take the machine with
out returning any Of the filthy lucre, in
suited the woman, and endeavored to
take by force what he said belonged to
the company by reason Of the payment
of monthly instalments having been
stopped. While the agent was inside
the house she locked both the front and
back doors, put the keys in her dress
pocket, and being a robust woman,
''went for the agent. She took hold Of
him and severe and prolonged tussel
ensued, whilst the children were fright
ened and cried and screamed. The
widow threw the agent oyer the hot
kitchen stove, and finally succeeded in
sitting down on top of him and held
him there, when he begged piteously
for mercy-"For Gods sake let me go,
and III pay you every cent back YOU
husband paid me-. Being satisfied thai
he was severely scortched, if not partly
roasted. around the thighs, she pulled
him off the stove, but held on to him
until he had paid back every cent ofthe
instalments, and she gave him two min
utes' time to take the machine and cleal
out with it. The name of the plucky
woman, and also that of the agent, are
withheld by special request. .Reaas'5

MISSISSIPPI WHARF.-THE people OF
some Mississippi counties are Dragging
of their wheat crop, and it would apS
pear that they have good grounds for
their boasts. A Mr.. Brown, of Tate

twenty ceres that he had in wheat will
WELD 400 b. she1s. A neighbor of his,
Mr.. Sanders, SAYS that his crop will
turn ont "a bushels and lpeck to the

dark as midnight. Then light abov e

On returning to consciousness he found
that his horse was gone, the plough

bruised and .paralyzed, his left hip
bleeding. and the sole of his left foot
shorn of its flesh, and the foot itself a
