THE vICKsBURG ATROCITIES.


The meanest, most useless and most
contemplate vice that ever grew rank
in the dollhouse of the devil, is pro-
fame swearing. We protest against it
not as preachers and church members
object to sin on professional grounds,
but as members of society, as decent
men. On boats, in cars, in places of
business, on the open street, at concert
doors, and everywhere else rings the
incessHnt oath of the habitual swearer.
Young men just learning to curse APP
pear to think there is something man.
~ and brave about it; while old swear
ers interlard the commonest remark
they make with cold-blooded blasphe-
mics and variety of diabolical curses.
No man or woman of any refinement
or deceDcy at all can be otherwise than
lacerated and shocked by these brutal
and vulgar verbal missiles every day
aud no fellow who is shamefully guilty
of projecting them can do otherwise
than sink beneath the contempt Of
such men and women with every vile
epithet they hear him utter. Public
profanity ought to be an indictable of
Tense with a penalty of ten days in jai
for every oath.

THE SITUATION AT NEW ORLEANS
Lieut.. General sheridan 90 Take
Command.
Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette. ]

-
Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The Presi-
dent to-day removed General Emory
and put General Terry in his place.
General Sheridan's order directs him
to proceed TO New Orleans and con-
ditional order was also sent him to take
command in case such an emergency
arose, as, in his judgment, would make
1t proper to do so.
The President is very decided in re-
gard to the course lie intends To pursue.
Whatever authority he has under the
Constitution or laws, will, henceforth,
be most vigorously exercised to pre-
serve order, cause obedience to the ma
tional laws aud protect life and prop
erty. He is advised 10y the Attorney
General to use the army aud navy to
uphold the Kellogg Government, and
to execute the provisions Of the En-
forcement Act.
1t is quite evident that the purpose
here, on the part of the President is
to sustain both the kellogg govern
ment and the Returning Board, and
that, if the citizens of Louisiana at
tempt to use force against the action of
either, the United States soldiers will
be used to put down such uprising
against the lawful authority.
ave want General Sheridan there,
so that il there is any necessity, and
the wires should be cut, there will be
a man of pluck and energy in the
South who can be relied on.n
The most serious objection which has
been urged against Emory is his lack
of self-reliance and his repeated calls
upon the President during the Penn
revolution for Instructions as to the
minutest details of local administra-
tive action. 1t is stated upon authori-
ty that the only reason which can now
induce "A withdrawal of the letter or
dering Sheridan South is the unex-
pected publicity already given to the
fact that he was to I've ordered there.
1t il known that Democratic intiu-
ences have been actively exerted from
this point to prevent any outbreak al
New Orleans, lest 1t should injure the
party; but ii is also a fact that these
Democratic leaders have but little hope
of success, and both sides here are in
daily expectation Of news of riot AID

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May. last
night was an exciting one in the
mining region around Kingston
A procession of from fifty to OF g
hundred miners, with torches and
armed with guns, revolvers, and
clubs, marched to the dwellings OF
the men who are working in Hutch
insOn's and Payne's mines, and
gave them notice to quit work or
she penalty would be death. The
gang were very noisy and threat
ening, bat did not damage any
buildings or maltreat any person.
They carried with them the effigy
of a blackleg, which they took to a
grove, where it was hanged by the
neck to . tree, and the crowd emp
tied their FIRE arms at it. The re-
suit has been that Payne's men re-
fused to return to work this morn

while on their way to the shaft,
were followed by p gang of women
and children and pelted with stones

Ap1sAsrRous HAIL sroRx.

Columbus (Miss.) independently
Last Friday afternoon q hailstGrm
of extraordinary magnitudrand des
Effectiveness swept over LOwndes
county and West Alabama. So far,
we have heard Of it's effects in the
following neighborhoO.ls Al. E;ss-
Icy, J. NJ. .Shackelford, 10. Flood,
Bartlett Barry, j. M. BobO and the
JOyner place, near or within the
track of the Pickens county tornado.
The deepest hail, we have ga hered
from reliable sources, seems to have
fallen upon the farms of the two
first named farmers and their neigh
bora. 1t measured twenty three
inches deep in the open field, and
almost entirely annihilated the
crops by its deluging aud crushing
vi,lrnc... Co, ton and corn are
beaten to tue ground level, while
wheat aud fruit are badly damaged.
Mr.. Al. EasIey says the stones
were of such size aud came with so
much power AZ to split the boards
on his house, and the roof leaked
for the first time In years. About
fourth of the wheat aud all the
corn was cut down to the ground.
The storm in that vicinity lasted
thirty-five minutes by tho clock,
and besides the damage done field
crops, knocked OF the paling Of
fences, beat down vegetables, and
killed or stunned chickens, rabbits
and opossums. The stock could
make no Roadway against the ter
rife pelting, aud sought the corner
Of fences and sheds. -
We understand that the damage
done to the crops along McBee
creek was general, and seemed to
extend for width about eight or ten
miles. It is reported that Joyner

was in search with his dog, when
about six O'Clock the body was
found In q ditch one half . mile east

to the friends of the deceased in this

spot and brought the remains to

Sunday morning to Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania. There were no
marks of violence GU the body, and
all the money and jewelry Mr.. Dun
