The Murder of Dixon. the Chisholms and
 others. in Mississippi

Dixon, of Yazoo, Mississippi, was Denl- ocrat, and bolted bis party, which was COZ sidered a sufficient proyocation to shoot and kill him. He did not join the Republicans, but ran independent, for Sheriff, against the regular nominee, BSrksdale, it was held, was justifiable in shooting him for such an offense. With reference to the Gully-uhis- holm affair, it has been published here, falsely, that Genl. Woodfords investigations had proven that it was not political mat ter at all, and that we had misrepresented the case entirely.
 This, of course is done to mislead and de- celve a class of readers who have hitherto, blinded by political prejudices, swallowed whatever was written in the interest of de- mocracy, but whe have of late shown a disposition to investigate, even though il be found in their political biule. If any have read and believed <he faIsehood published in reference to Genl Wo1dford's investi- gations as given by telegraph tothe Associ- atcd Press, we invite their attention to the original dispatch, in order that they may see the dnplicity ana misrepresentation that IS resorted to in order to deceive them.
 Here IS the dispatch.
 The Chisholm Murder Trial
 NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-General Stewart L. Woodford, who went with Mrs. Chisholm to attend the tIial of Henry J. Gully for the murder of Cornelia Chisholm, states thar the trial was dreary farce from beginning to end Judge Hamm did bis duty fearlessly and justly Thos. 5. Ford, District At torney, did his duty well and bravely. 1 think that the prosecution made out clear and complete case of murder. The charge of the Judge was distinct, direct and posi- tive, and yet the jury were only ous long enough to take one ballot and write yer dict. 1 don't know how to account for this verdict on any grounds that are not dis credItable either to the intelligence or moral sense of the jury, and do not think tha, the nine white men on the jury were lacking in intelligence. The three negroes eyiuent Iy possessed neither brains nor courage. The whites were all Democrats, so were the negroes. The jury was fairly drawn. The verdict does not represent the feeling of the great mass of the negroes nor the white Re publicans, nor yet of the small minority of fhe sober and law abiding Democrats. Those three classes combined constitute clear and decided majority of citizens and legal voters of the couu,y. am sadly aud reluctantly compelled to say that the yer dict truthfully ana honestly represents the present judgment and wishes f general majority of the white men of Kenper County, and they think it was unfortunate, but natural and most excusable, that Judge Chisholm, John P. Gilmore and Amos Mcclellan were shot by mob in De KaIb.

FORT wHIPPLE,

The Southern Argus, Democratic paper
 published at Selma, Alabama, denounces the murder of Captain Dixon in very wig orous style. In the course of an article of some length, it says;
 "Yazoo county had better been swept from its place Un the earth and it's people had better been destroyed in night, than that this damned crime had been commit ted-better for Mississippi, better for the South, better for the Democratic party, better for the country. In the eyes of the world, the whole body of Southern people are stigmatized by these unpardonable acts of violence and bleod; their enemies are strengthened; their friends are paralyzed; {; their good faith is impuened; their respect for law Is called in question. The hanging of the murderer would vindicate Mississ- ippi and the South; but with 300 accesso- ries in .he county in which he is to be tried, this is not to be expected.
 The right of every freeman qualified by law to vote and to have his ballot counted as cast, the right of every citizen eligible under the law to seek office at the hands of ihe people-these rights stricken down in this county of d sister Southern State, are essential to free government. Every man in the United States who values for himself or his children the righi of free suffrage, ev :. cry one who values for himself or his cb' d. dren the right to aspire for place in the public service, is personally wrongol ip these Yszoo county crimes, and shoal | cry out against them. With these rigAp gone there is anarchy, and oespotism f0L ows an. archy, welcomed as relief from more in. tolerable evils"
 These manly words are in str king con- trast with the dough-faceism o'f the North. ern Democratic press, which either openly defend the murder of Dixor. or try 10 re- lieve the crime of its infam', by miss tating the facts.

MINING ITEMS.

At smithyille, the new town on Cherry Creek, work on some thirty or forty mines is being pushed and ore is accommodating on the dumps of these claims. Mir. Smith Superintendent of fhe Golden Era Mining Company. is now in town for 600 feet of water pipe, which has just been manufac- factured at the establishment of Hill & Frederick. This piping IS to be used in running water from the creek into the tank which will supply the mill with an abund- ance for all purposes. The saw-mill viii start up next week and the quartz-miu in about 30 days.
 h Big Bug District, things arc quite hopeful. Jesse Robinson has recently discovered a lode carrying horn silver, which he has named the Chicago. Pierce, Rees and Boggs have received notification that tho Chicago Company have concluded to take ten mines from them which they bonded some weeks since. Poland & Rob erts have also been notified of the accept ance sn the part of Chicago capitalists to take certain mining property on terms stip- ulstcd, so really it looks as though these people who have two quartz mills in the district are about to do something. Messrs. Clark, Sawyer and others will soon be back from Chicago, when we hope to be able to lsy before our readers the plans of the Chicago people.
 The Peck mill is at work yielding bull ion, and the prospects are first rate at that camp. Rich ore has been found on the north extension of the Peck and that claim is liable to prove equally rich with the original discovery.
 The Black Warrior and Prince mines are turning out good ore and have been inspec. ted by New York experts with view 10 purchasing.
 The Tiger mill is turning out great deal of bullion and the mine IS yielding high grade ore.
 At the Tip Top rich chimney of ore has recently been struck and the produc- ton of bullion is sn the increase.
 On the Savage, at the head of Crook Can yon, MT. Ross has force of men at work and at the depth of 70 feet has four foot vein carrying high grade ore.
 On the Davis the New York Mining Co. have men at work. The lead is mammoth in size and has thousands of tcus of good ore in sight.
 On the Hasssyampa NIT. Bigelow has been looking after his micaceous iron lode, which is rather a different mineral from that found in other mining countries. Professor Maynard, we understand, says it is new mineral to him, however, it IS rich and will probably be worked with great profit.
 The Perry, also on the Hassayampa, IS turning out good ore, and will proDably pass into the hands of Eastern capitalists.
 The Model, in Peoples Valley. belonging to c. P. Dake, is more than making expenses by rastra process. The mine opens up nicely.
 The Arizona Central Mining Company | at Seymour have struck rich ere in the old l vulture, and the mill is paying largely. . And thus we might go on commenting | the different mining lodes in various counties from Mol.ave in the North to Pima in the South. and the same story could only be told-Activity all along the mining line with big yields of bullion.
