The cut off at Vlcksburg appears

citizens of that city. The Herald 6
mits that the river is gone. and tt
the only hope for a current past I

Yazoo river, SO as to bring it do
through Chickasaw Bayou. and then
by canal in front of the city to {

can be accomplished at cost of abb
5000, 900, and adds:
The main volume of the Yazoo cot
be diverted through tie bayou, the1
into Fish Lake, aud finally. into
Mississippi river at the NatioI
Cemetery, by means of a breakwa

the bayou, and by the cutting OF

The effect of the plan proposed u
be to keep open a channel in the M

A FrightfuI Spectacle.

A ten-nu.e team, drawing lumber,
while coming from the vicinity OF the
lake this morning, went over the grade
near tue head of Kings canyon. The
driver sprang from the saddle. there
by saving his life. He then stood still.
a Mortified and speechless witness of
one of the most terrible scenes possi-
BILE to imagine. The mules, wagon
and lumber pitched downward in one
confused, rolling mass, nearly 2,OOO
feet into the bottom of the gorge, wild
cries from the crushed animals rend-
ing the air as they were hurled msdiy
down the steep mountain side. until
when nearing the bottom. and life be-
coming extinct, the agonizing sounds
ceased and all became silent in death.
The man says that after the first hun
dred feet had been passed the entire
mass became hidden in great cloud
of snow torn up snd scattered through
the air, but that he could distinctly
hear all sounds proceeding from the
white cloud as it rolled swiftly ON
ward, until it struck the battom OF the
canyon with a crash like that OF an
earthquake.

has said. I knew Capt. benson we'll,
although not very intimately, and ]
am satisfied that the people of North
Carolina cannot fill the position spoken
of more acceptably or by one Letter
qualified to fulfill its duties. He is
certainly one of the best scholars in
the State, and even as long ago as
1860, when he was at the head of a
fiourishing school in Duplin county,
it was acknowledged that he stood
then in the front ranks of his profess
sion in the State. He is one of the
most gifted gentlemen I ever knew,
and all taat the Review correspondent
says of him is undoubtedly true. I
hope that he may be nominated for
the position and that he may be in
duced to accept it.

LYNCH LAW IN ABBEVILLE.

The Murderers of the HarmOns
sent to their Lat Account.
Special Dispatch to the News and Courier.
ABBEvILLE, 8. c., May 24-No crime
that has occurred in this region for a
long time past has created so deep ex
citement among the people as the bru'
tai murder of Mr.. and Mrs. John l..
Harmon, which occurred week ago,
near the Edgefeld line. The dead
bodies, it will be remembered, were
found in bed in the morning by ser
want who went to awaken Mr.. Harmon.
and who had to break open the
door to gain admission into the
room. A bungling attempt had been
made to burn the house in or
der to conceal the evidences Of
the crime, but it did not succeed. Tie
murder at first was a complete mys-
terry. But the instrument of the
butchery, club which was found upon
the floor near the bed, supplied II clue
which led to the detection of the muir
derers. The club, it seems, had be- L
cut with knife in which there was n
gap The knife was found in the pos
session of q negro, aud this was the
first link in chain of evidences which
eventually proved, beyond ali doubt, ,
the identity OF the CRIMINALS. Ihey
were five in number, all plored men,
their names beiug Larkin Holloway.
Stephen Like, Austin Davis. MARSHALL
Pc. rim and JEFF. Settles. They wer-.
promptly arrested and committed to
jail.
To-day they paid the awful penalty
of their crime, the people having de-
cdod that the machioery of the law
was too diiatory a mode of treating
such wYetches. There was no secrecy
whatever III tie lnAuner of their execu
ton. The prisoners were 'aken forcibly J
and in broad daylight from the Gus
tody of the sheriff and shot to death
in the presence of three hundred citi-
zens The firing party was composed
of no less than one hundred men, anci
the hundred shots put speedy end
to the gniitv wfetchcs. Holloway and
Perrin were preachers.

Cotton

Cotton is lower to-day than it has
been since the war. and what is worse
there is no prospect of its ever rising
from its present ruiuous low figure.
The Wilson Adyance says this, and,
in saying it, it declares fact which
we ale glad of. We heartily wish
the figure of its price would descend
to that '1ower depth" and sink SO
deeply therein. that the hand of the
speculator could never reach it. When
this time comes, common sense will
control the muscle of the farmer,
and he will then strive to throw around
the home of his family some of the
comforts and enioyments of life,

Freak of Nature.

Nature seems addicted to her freaks
as often in the vegetable as in the an
imal kingdom. Yesterday we selected
banana from large bunch hanging
in Messrs. Curtis & Boatwright's store
on Front street. Toe selection was
made for its size and general
beauty. Only the ordinary skin
covered the golden fruit, and
there was nothing in the service
to indie ,te that the lobe was duplex.
When the skin was removed. however,
two perfect bananas were found en-
closed-a clear lusus nature, and the
only one of the sort we have ever
heard of.

New Inlet.

A petition is being circulated for sig
natures looking to opposition to the
closing up of New Inlet The opposi-
ton is in the interest of those who are
engaged in the coasting trade between
this city and the Eastern counties.
There is certai lly plausibility in the
views entertained by those gentlemen,
but it seems to US that they are too
late in expressing them, and that the
better plan now would be to complete
the work already begun and then open
up inland navigation by means of
canals which shall connect Whining
ton with the counties of the East.
