NATCHEz. Oct. 17.-Our Mr.. Botto returned from
the scene of the Tensas troubles last night after
had telegraphed you. He gave the troubles q
searching investigation and its result convnces
him that 1t has been more sensational than real.
He could find no evidence that any negroes had
been killed. besides the one who was wounded
when Capt. Peck was killed and afterwards
died. The greatest number claimed by any one
to have been killed Is six.
The negroes On Monday passed through
Waterproof and were extremely insulting and
threatening in their conduct. and the people OF
the town had good reasons for being greatly
alarmed.
We do not think that anything need be done
in regard to the reported outbreak.
The rumors sent you last night came from the
steamer Natchez, and were thought to be reli-
able. THOS. GRAFTON.

District Attorney Takes Refuge i'm
FlIght-CharEetl with Embezzlement

NEW YORK. Oct. 17.-As facts connected with
embezzement by Assistant District Attorney
Geo. w. Hoxie come to light. it seems probable
that he has left the country. He told friends
some days ago that he should either commit
suicide or take to flight. Yesterday morning
he had his trunk removed without his land
lady's sdy knowletge from his boarding house and
followed it himself in coach. after dressing
with more than ordinary care. AS there are
nearly q thousand % eases for settlement on the
Of the theft until individual losers come for
ward. He Is also indebted to many of his friends,
among them Commissioner WinsloW. of whom
he borrowed 5000 on Monday. promising to pay
it from his quarters salary due yesterday. The
last thing he did before leaving was to collect
early yesterday morning $500 due him from the
government. Assistant United States District
Attorney Hull said that Mr.. Ott. who had been
prosecuted forVoaiOn Of the revenue law in
selling unstamped cigars. he believed. came in
this morning and said he had paid Mr.. Hoxie a
penalty amounting to $50. There Is no record
Of the payment on the books, nor had the clerk
received it. There were from 500 to 1000 cases
which were standing against various persons.
fnd they could not tell how many of them
Mr.. HoNie had settled. In regard to the S23O0
Mr.. Hull declined to give the name of the firm
from whom it was collected. Hoxie told the
district attorney that he had used the money
but that it would be all right as he would get
draft from his brother in Chicago Mr.. Tenney
knew that he had a brother in Chicago worth
more than S50oOo0 Mr.. Hull has no idea of
where he has gone; but it is thought he is not
far from Brooklyn.

Crops.

Never in the history Of the settlement Of
this country has SO large crop of grain
Of all kinds been promised as now. In some
localities wheat has been harvested, and
some person has estimated that the yield
will be equivalent to ten bushels for every
man, woman and child in the country, or
about 400,000,000 bushels. The rains in
some portions of the country have dam
aged the potato crop, but as to the entire
crop an immense yield is predicted. Hay
will be in abundance. Fruit has been
more or less injured by the early frosts,
and reports from fruit regions Indicate
g smalle. yield Of pears and apples than
was at first expected. The peach crop of
California will not be over half its usual
amount as the heavy rains occasioned
what IS called the "curled leafn In New
York State all fruits will be plenty.
It is a cheering sight here, where short
time since blighted fields, deserted claims
and almost desolation prevailed, to see the
immense fields of grain gracefully waving
in the pure breeze and bright sunlight,
fields that will prove the cornucopia OF
the farmer, and banks whose discounts
will swell his depleted purse The pioneer
who for years has stroYe against the hard
ships and successive reverses, that have
left their blight upon this fair land, can
now, in the beautiful picture his own farm
presents, see the storm cloud passing away
and the clear sky Of q prosperous future to
cheer and repay for all the dark past and
its depressing effect.
That our lines are cast in pleasant places
is now patent, and those who will be con-
tent can find no better home for q new
life than where the merits have been fully
tested, and genuine wealth only waiting
er the Industrious TO develop and &C
gulrc it.
