RETURNS from forty-two counties
in Kentucky show a population of
634,Gll, being an increase of l51 ,8l5
in ten years-over twenty-five per
cent. This does pretty well for a
former slayeholding state on the bor-
der, and does not indicate that the
fight Of which radical papers
speak so fippantly, remains, or that
material decay has set in. All the
southern states will make very good
showing, when it is considered that
they are described to the outside world
as outlying provinces, where life and
property are not secure. These stories
sound absurd to us at home, but have
been told so persistently and denied
SO seldom abroad that they are be.
lieved to much greater extent than
we generally suppose. The south is
pulling up very Handsomely and es-
tablishing a solid prosperity without
help, emigration or influx of capital
Relying upon our own resources, we
are taking care Of ourselves and be,
coming not only self-sustaining, but
truly independent.

We give General w, j. Smith the
full benefit of his statement just as
written by him, caption and all. We
are glad that he disclaims
the atrocious sentiments at
tributed to him. They are un-
worthy of man, who like him sue
ceeded in overcoming much of the
political and personal prejudices Of
this community. Mr.. Nathes
only alluded to the report
which he knew would be forth
coming this morning, but was inclined
to think and hope was a mistake.
Esquire Lewis, formerly republican,
now a national, is to be heard from
next. 1t is now question of veracity
between him and General Smith.
There were witnesses to the heated
conversation in which General Smith
is charged to have made the remarks
alluded to last night and in the Ap-
peal this morning.

General Iunncocl,,a Letter.

1t is given out that General Han
cocks letter of acceptance is in print,
and that it will be issued as soon
as he receives a copy of Mr..
English S letter, which is understood
to be on the way. The following
points it is rumored will be embraced
in General Hancock's letter.
|. That the presidents duties are
chiefly executive, and that, therefore.
as a soldier. acts in obedience to su
perior authority; the president must
obey the constitution as the supreme
law OF the land, and obey and enforce
the laws OF congress, and whose duty it
IS TO repeal the laws when it is found
chat they become obnoxious.
2 That political results of the war
must be accepted and upheld in good
faith. The constitutional amend
ments and laws enacted in pursuance
thereof must be fully respected.
3. The bruadest democratic ground
will he taken on the Chinese question:
that Columbia is the asylum and home
tor the oppressed of all lands, but she
will not tolerate the enslavement of
labor in any form, whether by foreign
or local contract.
!. That the duty of the president to
make recommendations to congress. to
be pursued in no narrow but in a
thoroughly national sense, and as
local interests may conflict, the duty
OF reconciling matters over which the
sections may dispute belongs to con-
gress the law making power.

Ex.JUDdE John 0. Blackwood, of

Ex.JUDdE John D. Blackwood, of
Osceola, is candidate for prosecut
ing attorney for the second judicial
district of Arkansas, composed of
the counties of Mississippi, Critten-
den, Cross, Green, Poinsett, Randolph,
Clay, and Craighead. There was no
convention held for the whole district.
but he was put forward by the de-
mocrlcy of Mississippi, which is his
own county, and was alterward en-
dorsed by Crittenden, and perhaps one
or two other counties. He was for
merly on the bench, and was a mem
Der of the last legislature. Being a
lawyer of decided ability, having
served the people faithfully in all
positions, and proved to be their un-
Aswerying friend, he is personally very
popular, and we understand that his
prospects ofelection are very fattering.
There is no politics involved, as
the other candidate, who. if we mis-
take not, is the present incumbent OF
the office, is also a democrat. The
election takes place on the 9th Of
September. Judge Blackwood
came down the river yesterday and
left this morning for Marion, Wits
burg, Harrisburg and various other
points in the district. The mani who
sees many of the people has to travel
around considerably.

coming down the river with a good
list of freight and passengers,
sunk at midnight last night,
at Ashport landing, about ninety
miles above Memphis, She sunk in
deep water, her hurricane roof
being out of sight. Boat and
cargo a total loss. No lives were
lost The passengers were trans

accidents that has happened to that
well-managed line. We are without

of it was passed floating along for 20
miles below the wreck by the steamer
Golden City, which vessel arrived at
2 o'clock this afternoon, bringing the
news of the disaster.
The City of Yicksburg lies at the
bank, oac side of her hurricane root
under water up to edge of the texas,
and the boiler deck above water on
the StOrbord side. Her bow is tied to
the shore, and the stern is in deep
water. Prospects indicate she will prove

lost their baggage. 1t is supposed
that a colored passenger and two
white children were lost, as they were
not to be found after the accident
Several passengers arrived here by the
steamer Golden City.
