The extraordinarily mild weather
which has prevailed up to this time has
caused windrowed cane to begin sprout-
ing, and on nearly all our sugar planta-
tions the work of planting is going brisk

is foundabe in excellent condition, it's
main drawback being the danger, while

planting it, Of breaking off the eyes that
have sprouted. Stubble and Fall plant
are sprouting finely, and from present
appearances they will show splendid
stand during the coming season. Should
the remainder of the Winter pass off

OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT.-Monday even
ing, the 29th ult., at V. P. Landry's COO
per shop on New River, Ernest P. Braud,
we'll known and highly respected young
man residing in the seventh ward, was
assaulted by one Ralph Hopkins, former
ly Of Livingston parish, and dangerously
cut with large-bladed pocket-kni
Tho particulars Of the ARRAY, as related
to us by a reliable gentleman living in
the vicinity, are substantially as follows:
Hopkins, who lived on New River, was
about to remove from the parish, and be-
ing indebted to Braud in small amount,
the latter reminded him of the fact in
quiet, gentlemanly manner and requested
a settlement prior to his departure.
Braul then invited Hopkins and several
other parties to take drink, but Hop
kins sullenly declined, whereupon Brand
and the others proceeded to the neigh
boring store to drink, rcmarking: Hop
kins won't come because he owes me
money!, OF WOFuS Co InaU cHecC. w DcD
the party returned from the store, Hop
kins called Braud aside some distance
from his companions, saying he wished
to speak to him. Brand followed him
without any suspicion of his purpose,
and was taken wholly by surprise when
Hopkins turned about with an impreca-
ton and assaulted him fiercely, throwing
him to the ground and slashing at him
savagely with knife. Brands friends
rusheti to his assistance, when Hopkins
made Oft and is still at large. Mr.. Braud
was found to have received two cuts on
the right arm, one above the left eye,
another below the right eye, ana another
OIL the left hand. One of the cuts on the
arm made very severe and ugly wound,
but with the good care and treatment
which the patient is receiving, his friends
are hopeful of his speedy and entire re-
cOvery

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. Editor-ln glancing over your
paper last week, was struck with Tire
COMMUNICATION Of "Junius. The style
seemed familiar, yet | could not guess
who the author might be. We are sat
isfied however, it was some worthy, I'M
ambitious gentleman in our county,
writing not TO advance his own interest,
but ,ha, of the dear people. Some good
citizen who demands talent of a high
order in our Legislature ii it can be OBJ
tanned; if not, then some active, energet-
ic. successful business man, and not such
as would entertain that body with ''but-
ter-mik" speeches, sc.
The rasping given our present repre-
sentatives, felt was unmerited, and |
never knew before that there was any
complaint OF their action; if they were
not brilliant, they did not make them
selves ridiculons, and canse members
and everybody else TO ask the question,
"what did the people Of jefferson mean
by sending such representative here?"
But possibly it requires queer kind
of talent and genius omake onea stead,
err" and "Junius" may have had this in
his mind while penning his mild indict-
ment.
Who is this "Junius" that hides his
light under bushel? Never having
served the dear people, possibly he
might he induced to sacrifice a part OF
his valuable time; come to the front now,
60 TO Wheeling and make us great
'Ieader," and save the people millions.
"Juuius' tia,ters himself upon pre-
vious article, which no doubt created a
grand impression, eluanatiug from one
SO capable of being great "ieader. "
This las, article certainly unjnstly re-
fleets upon the high standing, and bust
ness qualifications OF the gentlemen rep
resenling us in the last Legislature. His
comparisons of their ability, strike me
as being more appropriate to some of
their predecessors; for ! have known
some who would make fair colleague
for the idiot with the key OF powder.

delivered by Mr.. John II. Strider OF
this county, to the members and others

would have found that the Governor,

else the veto power even upon the laws

the funny things charged upon the last

they repealed these laws. They are
still in force, and if we will tickle each

Hon. d. 3. LUcAs.-We cordially
endorse the Shepherdstown Register in
bringing forward the narns of Mr..
Lucas, fer Congress in this district.
Beside the fact, though young in years,
lie has taken a more active part in
carrying 10 the from, the banner of the
democratic party in the State and
district, than any man OF his age, and
that, as presidential elcctor in the can
vass Of 1876, he bore the weighty
share in a contest, waged in this dis
trict with more than the usual bitter
hess of the radical party, carrying The
district for the democratic ticket by an
unprecedented majority. We say be,
side the obligation due him for his
splendid campaign, we think it is about
time that the democrats west of the
mountains should begin to reckon the
fact that the democrats in the eight
counties of the pan handle are entitled
to some reciprocacy in the division OF
congressional honors, and it might not
be amiss 10 them to remember t1rther
that the panhandle has never yet failed
in its duty to roll up the majority
which saved the district to the party
Marfins6urg Statesman.
