An Affecting Meeting.

The second batch Of amnestied Com
munists arrived in Paris on September
8. The correspondent of the London
News, relates this incident: An old man,
the senior of the band, was wrapped up
in blanket, and trembling with cold
fit of ague. A sharp cry diverted at
tention from him. 1t proceeded from
Nine. Coques, who recognized in one
of the yellow-visagsd, gray-bearded
spectres her husband, who was most
respectable man, and for years Mayor
of Pateaux. His case at the time of his
trial excited great interest. He was not
a Communist, but was guilty of having
granted belIigerent rights TO some who
were wounded. The wife threw her
self into his arms, and she led him to
the saloon in which Louis Blanck was
waiting. Those looking on felt too sad

We had had hoped to be able to give al
o,oborate notice of the soldiers reunion at
RAYMOND Wednesday, but have been I'M
able to gather fuller particulars than Is CON
tained in "W'sn letter to the Vicksbuf9
Commercial. which we publish below The
Gazette is published on Wednesday, and
consequently did not contain an account OF
the affair
your correspondent arrived at Bolton
Yesterday, en- route to the city But receiVH
mo very pressing invitation from our
vepv clever friend Mr.. T. j. Bolton, ]r., to
ston off and visit Raymond, it being the
dav set apart for grand reunion OF ola
war veterans of the O. s. A., the invitation
was accepted, and after pleasant drive ar
lived at the city of Raymond about nall
mast nine, Here we found the town alive
and people arriving from all portions OF the
country. to take part in the festivities OF the
day. Promptly at ten O'Clock, the sufVlV,
inc members of the different companies met
nj the Courthouse, formed in line, headed
| Inv the RAYMOND and Clinton brass bands,
and marched to the beautiful Peyton grove,
obout mile distant where tables, stands,
etc mad been arranged for the occasion.
After arriving, Mr.. S. NJ. Shelton appeared
upon the stand, and IN his usual eloquent
style. introduced to the vast crowd Hon. u
| n Hooker. Col. Hooker was welcomed by
grand applause, after which he made most
MAGNIFICENT and lengthy speech, much to
| the satisfaction and qualification of the en-
| tire assembly. After this, very touching
poem was read by Mr.. @. S. North, OF
RAYMOND, for which much credit Is
| due him for the manner he read 1t.
The next thing in order after this was dln-
ner, dinner for the hundreds. This invita-
tion was extended to all, and it being Just
about time for one to feel hungry, of course,
it was eagerly accepted by those present
For the kind invitation extended us at this
time we are due our thanks to Miss Hunter
for special one The tables were loaded
down with all that heart could wish for,
until such fellows as Sam ID. Harper, John
p, Coleman and your humble servant, all
newspaper men, had satisfied their hunger
| (which YOU are we'll aware of caused q
change 10 come over the scene, and that
change would have brought tears to the
| oyes Of a starved ''purp." Immediately
after dinner, the band furnished the lovers
of music with beautiful lot of selections.
While the young folks promenaded the old
ones smiled and every one was making well
of the pleasures of the day. The crowd
upon this occasion numbered about one
thousand. Among the companies present
of the surviving members, were the follow
ing: the Raymond Fencibles, Charlton'f
Rebels, and the Downing Rifles. The very
best of order was preserved through the en-
tire day, and every one felt well paid fol
their attendance upon the occasion.

Another horrible and cold-blooded
murder was committed in this county
at Cawthorn's steam mill, on Sep
tember 26th. by one Sumling, on the
person of d. H. Lewis. They were
brothers in-law and at work together,
when Sumling struck Lewis on the pos
terror portion of the craniutn with a
hsndspike. One blow was sufficient to
the victim to the ground and prove
fatal in five or six hours. As far as
can ascertain the provocation on tue
part of Sumling was quite trivial When
he struck the fatal blow he exclaimed
to Lewis, 'you called my little girl

uoiut discussion at Union Ch"rch'

JAlKsoN, Miss, Oct 8, '79.
To the Editor OF The Comet;
On the night of the 3D. inst, your cor
respondent had the pleasure OF listening TO
quite lively joint debate at Union ohurcn
four miles west of this city-between
Cen. Freeman, champion of the Democratic
capse. and Mr. JAS. Henderson, repre- :
sen,inc all the Greenbackers, Independents
and ''soaptails' of the county. The audi
ence was mixed, but eager and attentive
Gen. Freeman opened the discussion, ana
Inv his elaborate unfolding of all the tinan-
cial principles that now engage the puoic
mind. and by the wonderful amount OF IN
formation with which he elucidated those
nrnciples. he convinced every one present
that he had explored and become 1amiii"l
with the entire field by the most painstak'
;pg anplication. Not candid, unbiased
mind could have listened and gone away
without being impressed with the truth anc
Justice of his position.
Mr. Henderson followed in wild an an
meaning talk, which told plainly enougi
that he was one of the most unenlghtehe'
and harmless men this side the wilds o
Africa. These speeches were character'stl
of the parties which the two men represent
IF the one showed modest leaning ana IL
search, the other was brazen in the ezhloi
ton of self-confidence and blind stupidity
IF the Greenbackers wish to achieve victor
in November, they must burnish the
weapons and entrust them to hands MOI
