The following item, with regard to q
Bolckow offender against justice, is from
the St. Joseph Gazette Of March .:
deputy Sheriff Sloan NJ. Young. of
andrew county, came down on the
train yesterday morning. with W. p.
Williamson in custody, he having for
Geitcd his recognizance at our court at
this term. He was indicted tor assault
with intent to Kill, and was escaping
Justice. Williamson had the bad luck
to run foul of an active, alert deputy !;
for when he arrived in ~Sayannah, he
jumped of the train and started to run,
but was. after IL short chase, brought to
bay, one shot from the officers revolver
being fired over his head to bring him
to. lie is now safe in the hands of Col.
Gates, and Will not find it so easy to
give bail in he future, and will not at
tempt to give LEG bail when Sheriff
Young gets after him; for he may shoot
too low next time"

To the Editor of The Republican,:
Northwest Missouri is sometimes
called "thc Garden of the West" and
in travelling through the country thus
named, we find no place more abund-
antly blessed with the gifts of nature,
than the county of Andrew. And if
this zone thing needed" ere sup
Piled, there is no place W. could boast
so highly Of, or so gladly and proudly
call our home, as the immediate yicin-
itv of Whitesville. But, i'll searching
for a country or community in which
we would be willing to raise our fam
lilies, we find our neighborhood want
ing in one respect. That educational
spirit that should be af1ame in every
heart. and in every community. We
find here lies smOuldering. If we
wish to cultivate Il love of home in
our children. we must make our homes
pleasant, cheerful and comfortable !:
a place to be desired rather than alb
horred. And in like manner, If we
wish to instill i'll the minds of u
children u spirit of educational love
of study. we must make Il school
rooms pleasant, comfortable and at
tractivc Il place to be sought rather
than Stunned. Instead of crOWding
eighty or one hundred children into
one small room-like so many sheep
to sit upon rickcty seats: over an
open floor: with din9y walls and cell
inc: the room incapable of being VEN
tilatcd; the head and body too warm
and the feet aching with cold: the
children breathing and re-breathing
the same ar, over and over again. un-
til il becomes poisonous Il say, i'll
stead of this, why not have a large
school house, with spacious rooms.
well ventilated and furnished; and
thereby make the schOol-rOOm pleas
ant. attractive and inviting?
There are certain parts. which,cOm
bined. produce a perfect watch, clock,
steam engine, etc: and without every
part. they cannot be perfected. There
are also certain things which, COM
bincd, produce n good school. The
first is, a good building the second
is. to have it well furnished and en-
tilated and then secure the services
of Il good teacher, and we must ncccs-
sariIy have n good school.
when individuals all over ourtown-
ship, offer 10 donate from five dollars
to one hundred dollars-aside from
the taxes that it would be necessary
to lcvy-for the purpose of building

The meteor cen by several persons
on Friday evening, February y, in
Adair county, says the Journal, was
a huge ball of fire and looked to be
half as large as a full moon. 1t struck
the earth in Muscatine county, Iowa.
TheBurlington Gazette thus describes
the phenomena:
s'For fully Il minute the heavens
were lighted by the fierce glare of the
swiftly descending fire ball, and when
it struck, the earth shook as from an
earthquake, for miles around, and
the noise of the conclusion was heard
BY the people Of Grinell, nincty-tive
miles away.
The frey ball struck terra firma in
a large open field, frightening resi-
dents in the vicinity half out of their
wits. 1t sank fifteen feet in the ground
and left a hold Of that depth and ten
feet in diameter. For hours 1t con-
tinued so spit forth fame, crackle,
sputter and smoke, and occasionally
discharge loud c~annOn-like reports, to
the infinite terror of the people OF the
vicinity. None dared approach while
this miniature volcano continued III
action : but with the cessation Of life
hundreds gathered around to inyesti-
gate and wonder.

THE FATRIOTIC REVIVAL.

The hearty welcome extended to
General Banks yesterday, the affection
ate Inequalities lsvished upon him, is
another indication that the sentiment of
brotherhood, long smothered between
the sections, is.agsin burning with pure,
steady and inextinguishable flame. If
Is true Masonry, as an organization. has
nothing to do with politics, and General
Banks's visit has no political signifi.
canoe, but the cordial manner in which
this Federal general and original Repub-
lican has teen received by Memphis,
long regarded as an extreme southern
city, is another indication of the univer-
sal patriotic awakening Of the American
people. In sending northern speakers
to the south, and southern speakers to
the north, much will be done toward
perfecting that reconciliation SO glori-
ously begun. The Democrats Of Mis-
sissippi have invited northern speakers
to address them, as Gordon and Lamar
have already addressed the people of
New Hampshire. We agree with the
Wing in the hope to see the
Presidential campaign auspieiously
opened with northern speakers in the
south and southern speakers in
the north; that the time has come for
breaking up prejudices, dispeIling delu,

THE Joy OF THE SOUTH.

The magnificent crop prospects have
filled the hearts of the southern people
with general Joy. The universal excls-
nation of every man who comes to
Memphis from the country is: "Such
fields! such cropsw Indeed, evidence
accumulstes on all hands that the grow
ing crops Of the south are immense. We
could fill several columns of the AP-
PEAL every day with extracts from the
newspapers giving the most glowing
and enthusiastic reports. The Pdaola
Star, published ina rich country which
gives to Memphis ansimmense trade,
says: "We have heard from almost
every neighborhood in our county this
week, and fromial quarters we find re-
ports Of the,lcondition OF crops most
hAttering. Stands of cotton are good,
and crops are clear Of grass and look
ing well. Cotton is at least two
weeks in advance Of what it was at this
time last year. We must also mention
the fact that our farmers are living on
cheaper scale than last year, cutting
down expenses wherever they can, and
we are glad to see. the extravsgsnt
habits thatlhave grown since the war
are being abandoned to a great extent.
This is moving in the right direction
The same unvarying information comes
to US from Alabama, Arkansas and
every county in West Tennessee. The
wheat crop has simply been marvellous.
The growing cotton has never been
so promisingi corn is abundant and
argues an extraordinary yield. Every
man from the country is smiling at the
prospect. Everywhere there is music in

The CALIFOREIA CLAaUERs.

In the French thesters they have
CldgUeT8, dead-heads, who are given

they are to applaud everything certain
actor or actress does or says. These
creatures are used just as hired mourners
are used at a funeral. California has its
cldqUers-men employed to applaud,
puff, and blow the State into undue i'm
portance. Our old citizen and valued
friend, George w. Gift, is not a hired
cldguer. He is high above such q voca-

man OF one idea, who, with intolerance
and enthusiasm, broods over his peculiar

or superficial. Hence we are not sur

Thsrndian AgencY Frnnsls.

Much that has been said and written ia
condemnation OF the recent raids by the In.
dians in the West has been unjust to those
long suffering and Justly impatient and
FESTIVE wards of the nation. They certainly
have been subject to great wrongs, and
it is only matter OF marvel that
they have not been more aggressive.
About all the trouble they have
made is trseeable directly to the abuses Oft g
agency system. The administration policy
80 long commended to the country is &c.
fusion and a snare. deeply designed for the
dual purpose of political effect aud the
enrichment OF partisans. Under the guise
of caring for the remnant of a fast
disappearing race, the administration is
agents. Agents are appointed to distribute
supplies Tor the maintenance of various
tribes, and In manifold ways they manage
to defraud them and those who ars
taxed to purchase such supplies
1t is admitted by the administrator
that the average agent manages to acquire
wealth on very small salary, in a eonspic-
very inferior quality are purchased and
charged at full rates to the governments

more likely than not the agent does
not furnish the Indians half of them. Goods

rather under the revival of the old practice

being Inspected. By this arrange
ment contractor who is il

Measures have been taken By the rim,
