The grave yard in this place is
about filled. 1t is almost impossible
to DIG 4 grave without disturbing
the Wondering bones Of some mortal
who has long before given up the
ghost. About two years ago 4 com
mittcc was appointed by the town
Council to select 4 site for cemetery
purposes, but we do not know that
they ever made any report. The
need Of Il new burying ground is
very pressing. The authorities
should give this matter their early
attention.

STATE MEMS.

Hon. HENRY G. DAVIS, arrived at
his home on Wednesday afternoon,
after his protracted fight with the
radical bchcmosh. During the past
session our Senator's voice has been
raised often and forcihly in opposi-
ton to the tide of unconstitutional
proceedings that has disgraced the
43d Congress and made that body a
mark at which future generations
will point the finger of scorn. He
was warmly welcomed by his many
friends, in whose estimation he has
raised himself higher by his firm OPP
position to the entertainments of the
revolutionary faction which has of
late ruled the destinies Of thiscountrv.

FATAL AcclDENT.-Mr. James Nc
Colsin, a wcll-kaown citizen of Lin
coin county, was found dead in his
Mill on the Goth of last month. He
was attending to the mill and it is
supposed that something connected
with the water-wheel got wrong and
that while he was attempting to get
it fixed, some part of the machinery
struck him on the head knocking
him senseless. He was found by a
young lady living near the mill who,
from the peculiar way the mill was
running correctly judged that the
burrs were running without grain,
and ran down for the purpose of sup
plying the same or shutting off the
water. Mr.. McColgin was found in
water with his skull fractured; he

ance to the enforcement of the laws

ment. They believed that they had a
right to govern themselves, and they
doubtless believed that the present
Government was not of their own
choosing. Evidently he has more
faith in what the Congressional com
mittee can do, if it will, than in any
tempted solution of the question by
military means, especially under the
present hot headed direction. OF
Sheridan he incidentally says that if
he thought it necessary the city of
New Orleans would be no more to
him than an Indian village. He would
not hesitate to level it. The citizens
of New Orleans thus have a clearer in
sight into the character of the man
that Grant has put over them, and they

his dispatches furnish clue to his
intentions he seems to be quite ready
