Special dispatch TO the Dallas lleraldl
GRoEsBEcK, May pa force of UNI
known men entered our jail Tuesday
night, took out Il colored man ana
shot him. He had been with the
Frommells, and was n bad character.
Search for Merrick Frommell the
leade; of the outlaws, has been con-
tinued daily until this evening without
success. A negro resembling Merrick
was seen in dense thicket. Pursuit
was made, but he escaped.
A negro courier was captured not far
from Bremond, bearing letters from
Merrck Frommell, begging the ne
groes to organize and reinforce him,
that they might make q stand against
the whites, who would sweep them
away entirely if they did not unite
TO inilame the minds of the negroes,
Frommells gang are circulating re-
port that the white folks are killing
,colored women and children. This re-
port is groundless, and not colored
person who has remained at his work
has been interfered with in the least
In fact, most of our citizens have adj
vised and cautioned them to have
nothing to do with the outlaws, ana
they should be protected.
Wade Frommell, q cousin OF Mer-
rick's, and brother of Giles From
nell, was taken to-day few miles
south of here. These Formmell ne
groes have been pest to this section
ever since the war, and it is not known
how many persons they may nave
killed.
The excitement here has somewhat
subsidized, and the white people DO not
apprehend any general rising, though
the outlaws may commit atrocities IN
isolated places where they can not be
resisted. VI

places will produce from sixty to
eighty bushels to the acre.

SIX PAGE EDITION.
MRS. LINCOLN.

After years of seclusion and re-
tirement from intimate friends, as
well as the public, the fate of this
most unfortunate woman has cul-
minated in hopeless insanity and
imprisonment in an asylum at
Batavia, Illinois. 1t will be re-
membered the scandal she once
brought upon herself by a public
exhibition of poverty and the sale
of portions of her wardrobe a
proceeding which, at the time, was
deemed but an eccentric desire for
notoriety, as her property amount
ed to 100000 or $4,000. At first
the comments of the press were
severe, but were suppressed as
soon as her actions were attributed
to temporary alteration of mind.
1t appears that her extensive travels
in Europe, and the best of medical
attendance, has been Of no avail,
and she goes to the asylum with a
mind hopelessly shattered. A sad
fate, indeed, for one who once was
the honored wife of Abraham Lin
coin, man whose name will live
in the memory of the American
people until time shall be no more.
OUR "little brother" of the Sill
yer City (Idaho) Avalanche" in
getting back on one of our squibs,
pours the following hot shot into
our fort:
"Our friend Norton seems to
illustrate the truth of the adage
that every rooster crows well in
certain locality. There must be
some prodigious hens over yonder,
and plenty of golden eggs, too, but
for all that, our Silver City must
not be sneezed at. Wait little
while, Bro. N, and read the devel-
opments that we shall disclose to
the public when the rich lodges of
the Golden Chariot, Poorman.
Pauper, Mahogany, War Eagle and
other mines come out. We will
astonish the world at large and
leave the Comstock in the shade.
Meantime, put this in your pipe,
old fellow Our Silver City has
daily paper. Where is yours?"
Really, I cannot say, positive
"; have no recollection of such
q conversation with Moulton; bun
perhaps Elizabeth's name was men
toned; the speech was fgurative;"
and beside, 81 file my objections
to the question.

NEGRO RAvINE. = The placer
miners of this euphoniously named
vicinity, back of the ridge east of
town, are making quite a good
showing in returns from their
sluices, and while all claim to be
making wages, there are some who
are cleaning up from 81 to $8 per
day to the man. The most profit
able sluicing is not on the main
gulch, but on side ravine coming
in from the East. Among the
parties at work are Lyman Jones,
Jack Noble and party, Mr.. Piper,
Joe Kirby, and a squad Of Mex
leans.
