Letter from Clarke County.
snunurA. MISS. Jam. 3. 1s7e

EDIToRs CLARION: This part of the
State is absorbed in the mOmentous ques-
ton, "When vi the impeachment trials
begin 2" LIZ seems to be conceded by
ali that articles of impeachment will be pre-
ferred, and all eyes seem to be turned pros
pectiyely to the great impeachment trials,
that are expected very soon TO begin.
These trials seem to be a necessary logical
sequence to the corruption and misrule that
have characterized the carpet-bag govern
ments in the South for years, they seem to
be a sort of panacea for our political ills,
they had quite salutary effect in North
Carolina and Georgia.
Some months ago, a Miss Covineton, liv-
ing in Wayne county, had a misunder-
standing with her paramount, a Mr.. Mckee,
who had incurred her hostility by marrying
a very nice Young lady, and fixing to move
to Texas; before the time set for moving he
went 60 see her TO have a reconciliation,
which he effected, as he thought; they took
a walk together down the road. and after
they had gone some distance. she extended
her hand SMILING. to bid him goodbye,
which he took, and Immediately drew out
a pistol with the other hand from her pock-
ct and shot him fatally. She left the coun-
ty, and just returned this week, has been
arrested and will have preliminary trial
Saturday at Waynesboro. o. B. Collins has
been employed to conduct the prosecution.
Mckee lived several hours, and made sub
stantialy the aboYe declarations.

The Texas and New Orleans Railroad.
This road is now drawing rapidly to
completion as far as Orange. Track layin,
is progressing at the rate of q mile and
quarter day, and large quantities of ma
terial-fr0m even as far e. Pattersonville
Leuisiana-is being delivered on the line
Tho confusion and Generalization inciden
to the failure of the recent contractors ha,
been overcome, and under the present com
and system has been established in every
department.
The construction train is now running
from Beaumont several miles west of thu
Trinity, and there remains but four miles
to be built to make the connection from the
present terminus to Orange.
A large force is being put on this end OF
the line, and if no unforeseen accident
occurs, the last spike will be driven at the
San Jacinto by the middle OF next month
Arrangements are being made by Vice
President Crosby for connections at Beau
mont and Orange with several steamers to
be put on the Neches, Angelina and Sabine
rivers, these being navigable during the
winter season for several hundred miles
above the named points.
The recently destroyed bridge at San
JacintO will be again in position by Satur-
day.
In view of the fact that the large and
valuable trade tributary to this line (includ.
from g, 900 to $1,000 bales is to be brought
to Houston through the enterprise of this
company, it behOOves our merchants and
cotton dealers to be on the qni rire, and not
allow the fruits of these efforts to pass by
their doors.
The trade and produce Of some fifteen
counties is to be brought to Houston
through the medium of this line. Not q
dollar of this trade has reached us until
the reinauguration Of the Texas and New
Orleans railroad. Will our enterprisipg
merchants allow it to slip through their
hands after being brought to them9 We
believe not; but they should be up and
doing. Let them send out their agents and
show to the people with whom they have
had NO dealings for years the advantages
of our market for the purchase of their
supplies, and for the sale and shipment Of
their products.
To Vice President Crosby the city is due
much in the way Of obligation, both for his
zeal and his untiring energy in pushing this
road to an early completion to Orange, the
to his ardor, and no obstacles have retarded
his efforts. He has opened up an avenue of
trade for Houston that will pour riches into
her Golfers, if she have the enterprise to
secure it. A citizen of Houston himself, he
looks mp the interests Of the city a. his in
terests, and with public spiritedness that
10 commendable and that proves him to be
. citizen of whom the city has reason to be
proud. he has never rested until he got this
Houston and New Orleans railroad enter
prise on foot. and then day aud night has
labored for its completion. Will our bust
ness men send agents out on the line of this
road and in the adjacent country to solicit
trade. or will they let it 60 where it may
