" the following remarks of the able
and chivalrous Col. BArksdal, the
veteran editor of the Jackson Clar.
ion and hope every editor in the
State will ponder 1t well, and trust it
may be the means of much good.
The following is said to be the
paragraph which led 10 the ARRAY
that resulted in the death of L.. A.

Point Times:
How much was the editor of the

This paragraph with several others
of q similar kind, ,ost the author his
life, sen his soul to his Maker with
out a moments warning and deprived
a large family Of their only prop and

The occasion certainly justifies q
remark on the too common habit of
journalists turning IRON the great du-
ties of their calling to engage in pet

each other. Why is this ? Why should

Deaths of Coils. Holland and
Middleton.

We publish in our columns the par
tieulars of the violent deaths of two
gentlemen who were-the one lately
citizens Of Mississippi and who were
formerly well known citizens Of Mo.
bile. Col. Middleton was formerly
connected with the Mobile Register,
and was always considered a clever,
high-toned gentleman. Lately he has
become connected with the Republican
party of Mississippi and edited a Re-
publican paper at West Point and wo
have lost sight Of him for several
years.
Col. Holland went into the Con.
federate service as Lieut.. Col. Of the
37lh Mississippi, he vas then residing
at Enterprise, and had formerly own
ed and edited the STAR at that point;
after the death Of the Colonel of the
Regiment the gallant and much
lamented Robert McLain, at the bat
tie of Corinih. Col. Holland was pro-
NOTED to the position which he hela
until the close OF the war. He was
engaged afterwards 10 the houses of
NJ. P. Levy Co., and Sanders, Gar
ner & Co., and subsequently, in o New
York house, and then returned South
10 the interest oil a new kind Of gas.
He was a brave and chivslrous gen.
! tleman. and seems TO have been shot
down without any provocation in o
cowsrdly manner and with no sort Of
,harce given him to defend himself
which he was well qualified 10 DO.

A letter from Jasper.l
Is There no Remedy.

| hare looked forward with pleasure
to this great and grand movement in.
stituted by the patrons of husbandry,
owing to the fac. that | was fully
acquainted with the financial condi-
ton Of our country. | have hoped
that permanent good would be the
result. 1t is true, the order has done
some good and has kept some people from
suffering. Notwithstanding the financial
condition of the country. and notwith-
standing the distressed condition of the
country generally, those who could do the
most good and have the most influence,
9 me of those very men have either with
drawn entirely or become careless and tor
pid, and it does seem to me they do not
care who sinks so they swim. This is not
the intention OF the order. II is to bring
good to those who are actually suffering
for the neceesaries of life; and furthermore
to support the weak, and feed the hungry.
What has brought about all this torpidity,
this carelessness, this un~concerLi Can any
of the order make this plain. and propose
q remedy. Rally gentlemen around the
standard bearer of our glorious institu-
ton and let us do our duty. Those who
are able to help, let them. come forward
and throw in their mite, and keep the
helpless women and children from sctual
want. and support them through u
more year. This is our duty. this is the
intention of our order, and let us stand
firm. immovable and fall il we must. in
the last ditch with faces toward the
enemy. PATRON.
