No information has been received at

been no important engagement at
Plevna since July 3lst. Mehmet Ali

the people of the South were convinced
that he had been fairly and lawfully

as the lawfully elected ruler OF the
country, should have taken early
after the election a decided attitude.

The Memphis Avalanche contains a
lengthy interview of correspondent
with Gov. Stone of Mississippi, rela-
tive to the Kemper county massacre.
The Governor says that he has done
all in his power TO bring the guilty
ones to trial, by requesting Judge Han
ON, the Circuit Judge, to call an ex-
ira session Of his court for that pur-
pose. and that under the laws of the
State the Executive has no power TO
do anything in the matter. He went
to De Kalh as soon as he heard Of the
riot. bnt when he arrived there the ri
oters had dispersed, and nothir was
eft for him TO do except to see Judge
Hanom aud ask the judicial officers to
take steps to bring the rioters TO trial

would convict the rioters, all Of whom
