Tha Trial.

The case of r. w. Garrison, charged with
the killing of Carol Stone, was tried before
his Honor Mayor Robert Powell, sitting rs
Comm lifting Court, on Monday and Tues
day. The charge preferred against him
was manslaughter. The case afforded much
interest, and was carefully Investigated,
and thoroughly sifted. We give here a
synopsis of the case as developed by the
testimony adluced:
= Garrison objected to Stones drinking at
his bar, in compliance with an invitation cX
tended to him by some friends, which Stone
considered an insult, and, for which, he
abused Garrison, by calling him bal names
and applying ts' him base epitiiets. Gar
IisOn resented this insult by attempt to
strike Stone with a bottle but was prevent
ed by Robt. Morris, who endeavoTed to
separate them. After which Garrison rush
ed, As Stone thought for his pistol, and to
prevent him from getting it, Stone began
To liurl glasses at him. In the confii It Gar
rison's right arm was wounded and cut
is to cause it 10 fall helpless by his side !;
however he succeeded in getting the pistol.
and in the attempt TO cock it, it WAS knock
ed from his hand, and Stone then retrcatcd
to a partition door, With soda bottle in
hand While attempting to throw it, Gar
rison shot him. and inflicted wound from
which he died, after suffering two weeks.
On weighing all the evidence the Court
acquitted Garrison. The case had the very
best legal talent Oh both sides MIR +. l..

Judging from the tone of an article which
made its appearance in the Mail of the 10th
inst. a casual observer would imagine Cam
ton to be pandemOnium-a perfect para
disc for rascals of high and low degree,
with City Government that not only was
wholly powerless to suppress crime, but
winked at and aided and allotted all laN-
lcssness.
The substance of the proceedings which
called forth the lengthy comment of the
Mail was the holding of barbecue without
the city limits on the Sabbath. Although
we are opposed to any dissertations of the
Lords Day in any manner, yet we do not
see the justice of the Mails attack, when
he alone published the card giving notice
of the holding.
sob, consistency, thou art a jewel-'
We discountenance his attack on the
municipal authorities, and in Justice to the
fair name of our city, We will state that
the gentlemen who compose the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen, are BOdy-for in
tegrity and financial ability-of winch any
city might be proud. To-day Ca ton stands
second to no city-in Mississippi for good
government. Crime is at discount here
and. with the exception of a truly unfor-
tunate. occurrence few we ks ago, no seri-
cus infraction of the statutes has occurred
Our laws are rigidly enforced, the city i,
out of debt, and orr citizens are assure d
that their persons and property are SAFE
from violence and desp ,ilation.

Murderer Captured.

Considerable excitement was caused. on
Saturday by the report that Edmund
Orange, the murderer of L. II. Pickens, was
in our vicinity. After diligent search by
the authorities the runOr was proven
groundless. He was ultimately captured
on the evening of the same day by Robert
Tyler, four miles east of Ways Bluff. Some
show of resistance was offered, but Bob's
ready REMINGTON pue damper to his ideas
of liberty. Some $3.50 was offered for the
capture of the murderer, the lion share #
which will fall to Bob. Much excitement
exists in Lexington and vicinity, and there
is a D ssibility that Orange ere this has
yielded up his life to Judge Lynch. All
speak highly of young Pickens, who was
brutality murdered while in tho discharge
Of his duty.

Gen. M. Wcnl.

The public will learn with regret
that this gentleman is no longer
officially connected with the N. o.
st. L. Il G.. r. r. Co. His connec-
ton with the railroad Interests of
our State, dates far back, almost to
its beginning. He was one of the
pioneers OF the Mississippi Central,
and with DIR. Walden, Judge Clay
ton and other we'll remembered pub
lic-spirited men, championed and
advocated the enterprise, and kept
their faith in its success, until their
an,icipations were realized. 1--WE
believe he is still first mortgage
bond FOLDERS of that part of the n.
o. st. l. & G. r. r AT the close
of the war, he was president of the
Mississippi Central, when its means
of operating were almost totally
lost, ana to his able management is
the success that attended his efforts
to resuScitate it under insuperable
obstacles which were eventually
overcome. For the KosciuskO ex-
tension the people of Attala aud
of the surrounding country which
have been benefited by the enter
prise, are under lasting obligations
TO Gen. West for his persistent and
INV carrying efforts to effect that ob
ject until it was accomplished. The
retirement OF Gen. West from the
n. O., ST. l.. & G. II. Il. 20. will give
him greater opportunity to devote
himself to other enterprises with
which he is connected, and in which
the friends of material development
and progress of our State, cannot
but feel u lively conceivable Comb

Carroll ID. STONE.

On Saturday evening, 10Th inst, Mt Sis
o'clock, the spirit of Carol Stone left its
clay tenement for that bourne whence none
have ever yet returned. In an evil hour he
fell victim to the great misfortune of his
life-but now that he is gone all his faults
are forgiven and his errors fol gotten. He
was not quite thirty years old, and Judging
from his manly form and robust appearance
he might have lived until he reached three
score and ten. But, alas, there was but a
step between him and death. In the quiet
of his sick chamber, far from the noise and
strife of the busy world. i'll the midst OF
excruciating pain. he showed the penitent's
faith, and expressed deep sorrow at his past
course. May we not trust that He who
sees the heat, and who can chanSS that
heart in the twinklIng of en- eye, could He
not save to the uttermOSt lie Who called
- ,,on Him in the agony of his suffering, and
who received baptism as sign that he was
Il partaker with Hin, in righteousness. God
grant that the earnest prayers of those who
loved and watched beside him may have
been answered. Poor Carol. Long shall
the friends who loved him mourn his I'M
timely end and sympathise with his be-
reaved mother in the loss of loving sOn.
May God in his mercy unite the broken
family in that land where no tears are shed,
md death cannot ONE.

A Discovery.

A young man living in the neighborliOod
of Dark Corner was out few days since
hunting and fishing. and on returning
home stepped upon a Large hollow log, on
which he gave a hard rap with his stick /;
waereupon there came forth most I'M
earthly groan. In second he stepped of,
and looking in the open end of the log saw
two large -ollins eyes glarins at him. I'm
pulsively he ran for his Jistol, and when he
returned to put an end to the monster or
"varmint-" Lo! and behold, a poor little
darkey, who had been lost for several days,

vain, craried out, much to his relief and t. o
