4 GREENBACK EVANGELIST RELATES HIS
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE AMONG THE

4 GREENBACK EVANGELIST RELATES HIS
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE AMONG THE
BULLDoZERs OF THE SOUTH"
Special to the Courier-Journa
WASHINGTON, Aug. l3-J. II. Randall the
Greenback Evangelist, occupies three columns
of the National View to day in telling how he
was bulldozed in Mississippi. The story is
one which will hardly fire the Northern heart.
No blood shed nor blows given. The
Evangelist had been laboring for the cause in
Alabama. Disguised with the lack of appre-
citation of his efforts, he went into Missssi ppi.
He made "A few speeches there, one of when.
delivered at hamlet known as Kizer HILL
did not seem TO please the boys. From Kizer
Hill he went TO a town rejoicing IN the name
of Shubu-a. A crowd of young fellows handed
the following epistIe to Mr.. Randall:
AUGUST l, lSS0.-Dear Sir-We will give you
and your pard thirty-five minutes to pick up
your buds and get out of this town. Yours to
death. The BOYS OF SHUBUTA.
The Evangelist, to judge from his letter de-
scriptive of the occurrence. was terribly hight
ened. He appealed to the Marshal. who told
hi n he was in danger. Thirty five min
utes elapsed, and the Boys of Shubuta' did
not do the Evangelist any harm. After a lapse
of three hours, the train he had intended to
take came along and he peaceably shook the
dust of the bulldozing community off his feet.
The ''Shubuta boys" evidently meant
nothing but little innocent sport as the
facts plainly show. But as the Evan
gelist' has pretended to regard servious-
ly and is trying to make political capt
tai out Of their harmless sport, it would
be advisable for our young friends to
desist from the like in future. Through
out all the State, let us have an election
not only free from bulldozing, but from
any thing which can avivid imagination
can construe that way. To our certain
knowledge there is not corporal's
guard of Greenbackers,e go nominee, in the
good county of Clarke. Opposition to

The Railroad Wharf.-The c., ST. L. &

It IS said, no doubt truly, that the nc
ton of the Louisville and Nashville
Company in cutting off the connection
with the Chicago. St. Louis and New
Orleans Railroad ut Milan, does not in
convenience the latter road III the least.
1t has connections with the Illinois Cen
trail, Ohio and Mississippi, and its own
line. which enables it to transact its
freight business between Cincinnati and
New Orleans in much quicker time than
when it used the Louisville and Nash
Vile rs a connection. Formerly it used
to take about four days to take freight
from Cincinnati to New Orleans now it
takes but three and half days to carry
business through. The war between
the Louisville and Nashville and the
Chicago, St Louis and New Orleans Is
still confined to the passenger business /;
but the Illinois Central people, who own
the Chicago, St Louis and New Or
leans, say they are not afraid Of
freight war, as they are in the best pos
sible shape to make an effective fight on
that branch, as they own the entire line
from New Orleans to Chicago, and can
make rates to suit themselves, while
the Louisville and Nashville can make
rates only to Nashville.

General Hancock and the suratt
Murder.

We have not given much attention
to the subject Of General Hancock's al
legged connection with the trial of Mrs
Suratt, because we have supposed thai
his total responsibility either for the
pretended trial, or its tragical results
were too well known TO require expla
nation. 1t was his misfortune to be
military commander Of the department
in which it occurred, at the time. But
he had no agency in instituting the pro
ceedings, nor in conducting them. He
simply obeyed the orders Of his supe-
rior, the commander-in-chief The court
was a military commission, and the
prisoner was denied the privilege OF
habeas corpus, Congress having passed
law authorizing its suspension at the
will Of the President. General Henry
L. Burnett, Republican, who acted as
Associate Judge Advocate, at the trial
has recently made the following state

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 20, 1850.
The General Deficiency bill the bill
that knits up the ragged sleeves of finan.
cial legisla' ion, will he reported in the
House to-day. 1t is in such shape that
no amendments will probably be offered,
except to add amounts found from day
to day until the end of the session, to be
necessary: There will he no contest over
it. The items usuails placed i'll this bill
are proper ones, in which respect it diff
fers materially from several "appropria-
ton bills" VIII: CHI have come to be a GUS
tomary part of legislation.
The amount asked for this year by bills,
for the commencement and completion Of
public buildings Throughout the country,
was something over thirteen millions.
The Appropriation Committee Of the
House agreed to about six millions. and
reported that amount. Finding difficult
ty in eating a hearing before the House,

government usually gets an unfit and
unsafe huilding and pays an enormous
rent for it. Bnt this committee does not
show that the suggested expenditure of
six millions, which would have been
thirteen millions if that amount could
have been got through, would save a dol
lar of the rent now paid. For all the
public knows, the expenditure proposed
is in places where no rent is paid. Most
of the six millions will get through prob
ably.
People generally are convinced that
adjournment will not take place before
the 10th of June, instead of the 31st of
May. This is to be regretted, as Con-
gress will hardly give intelligent atten-
ton to business after Grart's nomination
by the Radicals on June I'd or Sd. House
