spoke on the political situation. He said.
My friend Governor Woodford has done

about the Democratic party from nrett v
close inspection. Responsibilities hioher
than any OF the past are involved in the
coming election. The people of this conntrv
have never been absOlu ely divid ed m q

stances when all the States have voted to.

until the year 1876, has the issue been nre'
sented SO completely sectional If the
Southern States cast solid v cte
Tor one man two or three other

From the Shreveport Tele0roo.

we are informed that difficulty occurred

on the evening Of the third instant, between
two white men, named respectively Jones
which are az follows: The two men were
playing cards and gambling, when q dis
pute arose and q conflict followed, in which
Jones was cut in the neck. After the
scufae they went together to a physician,
where the fuss was renewed, and Burgoyne
vent of, got shotgun, and fred upon
Jones on his way home, the load taking
effect in both arms, and three buckshot
lodging in his lungs, making hole in his
breast through which the air could be
plainly seen to pass. Burgoyne fled and no
attempt was made to arrest him. The
surgeon at ten o'clock Wednesday mornin
pronounced the wounds of Jones dangerous
and his situation critical in view of the hot

To their homes in the sheltered caves,
And birds in the bl0ssOming orchard

While sang the dear old melodies
To WOO him to his rest.

And the little red mouth grew silent,
And dear little hands lay still;
The tender mouth in its sweetness,
With lips like an unb' own rose,
And baIo feet ended like rose leaves
Lay hushed in that sweet repOse.
Now under the summer Dust,

LONDON, Oct. 2O.-The British cabinet

which, in Wednesdays panic, was certainly
reckoneG upon to disturb it in case Russia
crossed the Danube. There is nothing il

tainty about Russia intentions. Londor
Journals seem inclined to abandon all
hope of preservation of peace between
Russia and Turkey.
Berlin newspapers, on The contrary, ex
press the opinion that all the Powers o
Europe, including England, are equal!

OF their joint efforts at Constantlnople, i
is unjust to suspect Russia of following

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is. The most no

fourth man ia the liue, and held up his
head as high, and lifted his feet to the joy
full shrieks of the martial fife with as mil
itary an air as any of the patriots who fol-
lowed him. His red beard glowed in the
sun, dashing the sombre black of his dress
SO as to make bim look, as he is, the most
picturesque thief Of his day. Some of the
granger patriots in the line objected to
walking with Belknap, but were hushed
up with the statement that Your old
commander, Grant, is his friend Bah
