The Vicksburg Herald, one of
the few papers in Mississippi that
has the courage to speak out for
liberty of opinion, says:
avery few of the papers have ex.
pressed their opinion of the Yazoo af.
fair. None of them that we have seen,
except the Brandon Republican, have
approved jof it. The papers that are
silent about it. had just as we'll follow
the example OF the Brandon RepubH-
can, for In affairs of this kind silence
is equivalent to aequiescence. The
affair is either right or wrong; If it is
right, it should be approved and sus-
tsIned; IL It is wrong IL should be con-
demned In plain language. We believe
it Will be great error II our party ST.
lently passes this matter over. Our
press and public men must condemn
It, that ie may not again be attempted
In other counties to plague and injure
us.
MThe Governor talks encouragingly,
and has written to the Sheriff of va
20 county about the matter. This is
good as far 1t goes. Now, If any por-
ton OF the people of any county are
denied the right to vote or to run for
Office, and the county officials are un-
able. to SEES justice done, it would be
the duty of the Governor to protect all
In their rights If it should take the
whole power of the State to do it. His
assertion that the State does not need
any assistance from the National Gov
eminent we believe to be en-
tirefy true, and he will not be
able to say That he can not protect the
citizens OF the State. His determina>
tion. may be put to Q severe test before
this campaign is over The Borbons
in many counties are very determined.
Already the Brandon Republican hints
that but one party will be countenanc-
ed In that county. This issue is upon
the people. I can not be lodged.
They must permit bulldozing or they
must suppress it. The people look to
the officials, headed by their Governor,
IN whom they have the most implicit
confidence, to sustain the laws and
protect the citizens.
"Other leading men in the State
should not remain silent. Mr.. Single
ton should come to the front and cor
rect the evil that has sprung up in his
district. Mr.. Lamar should speak.
All of our Congressman have plain
duty to perform. That duty is not to be
silent spectators of gross violation of
the laws, it Is TO condemn such a vic.
lation, and take sure measures to pre-
vent its REPETITION. Unless this is done,
it will be possible for the Stalwarts to
say: You said this; you did thus"

FARMERS, DON'T DO 1T.

ANY man, even though he have
but one eye, can see, by riding ten
miles into the country in any direc-
ton, hundreds of acres planted in
corn that will not make fifteen
bushels per acre, and would not
have done SO with the most favor
able season. Now, farmers, without
presuming to lecture you upon mat
tiers about which you know more
than we do, this is all wrong. Too
much corn has been the
curse Of our section, and itrequires
no argument from US to show you
that it doesn't paylwhere7 the yield
is less than thirty bushels per acre
You are doing a great deal Of hard
work for which you receive nc
compensation, and at the same time
you are impoverishing your sol
every year you till it. Outside Of
river.bottom farms there is very
little land in this country
upon which a crop of corr
can be probably grown
oftener than once in FIVE years
Farmers may raise crops that pa,
better and at the same time i'm
prove their worn out soil. Their
is no occasion for worn out lands
and the farmers Of East Tennessee,
ought to understand this. If the.
don't, and continue to sweat owe
their poor fields trying to raise cor
where it is an absolute impossibility
they will become poorer and poore
all the time. I

A CycIopedia for $1,000.

Perhaps the most remarkable literary
enterprise of the time, is the publication Of
the Library of Universal Knowledge, in
20 volumes of nearly 1000 pages each,
handsomely bound. for so cents per vol
ume, or $1,000 for the set. It is reprint
entire of the last (1s79) Edinburgh and
London edition of Chambers Emcyclope-
dia; 4 Dictionary of Universal KeoDL-
edge for the People, with very large addi-
tions upon topics of special interest to
American readers The amount of matter
will somewhat exceed that of the Cyclic
pedias of Appleton or johnson, though the
price Is but . fraction of their cost. Vol
and the others will follow at very short in
tervals, The remarkably low prices are
accounted for by the method Of sale, to
the subscribers direct, saving them the
large commission, often so or 60 per cent,
paid to agents or dealers; also, by the re-.
cent great reduction in the cost of making
books, and by making very large sales.
This certainly is work that the millions
win appreciate. Special inducements are
offered to early subscribers and to clubs.
The same publishers have recently is
sued editions Of Chambers Cyclopedia of
English Literature, vols, $500, formerly
sold in 2 vols, for 5000; also, Rollins

and Smiths Bible Dictionary, $1.O0.

tember, the Acme Library of Biography.

trade begins to be prosperous it may be
assumed that every other industry is
about to flourish, for iron ia at the
bottom of every sort of mechanical
business. The Public says that in the
country, as whole, it lie evident that
more goods are bought and sold, and
that more work Is done for wages, than
at any time since the panic. Moreover,
IL we consider the difference in prices
and wages, resulting mainly from a
change in the value of the dollar in
which they are expressed, 1t will be
found that more goods are bought and
sold this year and more work for wages
is done than in any previous year in
the history of the country This lat
ter statement is questionable; but there
cannot be any doubt about the revival
Of business, and with that the employ.
ment OF every one who Ia. willing to
work at Lying wages must ensue as a

New ORLEANS, Oct. 23.-The British
steamship Louisa Fl. arrived at Port Eads
yesterday, having on board seventeen
of the crew of the Spanish steamer
Nuevo Pasaro Del Oceano, which was de-
stroyed by fire ON the 18th inst. of the old
Brahma channel while ON voyage from
Havana to Neuvitas.
From accounts received from members OF
the crew who were saved, it appears that
the fire was discovered in the engine room
of the lost vessel about 4 a. IN. of the day
named, and spread with such rapdity that
but one boat could be launched, which got
away with the steward and four men.
The Louisa H. came upon the scene about
9 a. m, and after cruising about for some
time succeeded in picking up the seventeen
whom she brought to Port Eads The
Nueyo Pasara Del Oceano had on board q
crew of forty-two men, thirteen soldiers
and four merchants, and all but the seven
teen persons picked up by the Louisa II.
were lost.
The number saved included Captain Diaz.
commander of the ill-fated vessel, the first
and secord mates and one soldier. Several
of the rescued were burned and otherwise
injured. Captain Voss, of the Louisa H.,
and his crew did all in their power to alle-
viate their sufferings
