MURDER OF MRS. WRIGHT.
Shot in RrOad' Daylight by a
NegrO RObber.

One of the most atrocious murders
Of the times took place last Saturday
afternoon at the Norris place, about
five miles from the city on the Her
nando road. Mr.. John Wright, a
very reputable citizen, is lessee Of the
place and one adjoining. He has o
grocery store on the premises. This
was left in charge Of his wife while he
came to town with some cotton to be
ginned at Speers' establishment.
1t appears from the circumstances
that about 4:3O o'clock a negro
with breech loading double
barrelled shotgun, entered the store
and demanded the money in the house.
This was refused. The negro then
fred load Of buckshot into her body,
killing her instantly, aud then pro
ceeded to take what money he could
6nd, about 500, and two pistols, and
then left.
Mr.. Wright is hard working, quiet,
peaceable citizen, and has the full
sympathy Of all who know him
in this his great bereavement.
He and his two brothers are said to
be men Of great determination and
very dangerous when they consider
that they have been wronged. Under
the terrible circumstances described
they will, OF course, put forth every
effort to avenge this unprovoked and
cold bloOded murder, and if the per-
petrator is found by them it is not
likely that the Judge will give the
jury very long charge, or that there
will be a hung jury in the case. 1t
would hardly seem necessary to secure
full panel.

At Millington Station, on the G. 4
o. r. r fifteen miles from Memphis,
Dixie Knight shot and killed Will
Dickens last Saturday. The details,
as far as can be learned. are as follows;
Some weeks ago, Dickens and Knight
who are both mere boys, were arrested
fJr sheep and cattle stealing, and
Knight turned States evidence. They
cime near having a fight in the court
room, and there has been bad feeling
ever since the discharge Of tue boys BY
a jury. A few days ago, Knights
father had cotton picking which
Dickens attended. The boys had a
row that day and Dickens would have
killed knight except for the interier
epce Of bystanders. At Millington
Saturday they met again and after the
passage Of few words on both sides
and threatening demonstrations,
Knight drew a pistol and shot Dickens
through the breast. He ran to
Easly's store and saying, II am dead
oh, Godl7 fell corpse. knight went

Oording to latest information.
Will Dickens was buried yesterday
evening. A jury Of inquest was held
by Esquire Jackson. Dickens was

THE COrTON CROP.
latham, Alexander & 90. EstI.
mate II at 0,387, ,ls6 Bales.

The report Of the probable yield Of
cotton for the present year, as com
piled from estimates made by Latham.
Alexander & Co., bankers of Wall
street, New York, has been made
public, and a neatly printed copy has
been received at this office 1t gives
the probable yield at 6,367 1856 bales,
and the figures are considerably below
the estimates made by the majority
heresbouts.
The figures for Shelby county are set
at 64.75l bales, against 1868 bales
last year, and for the State OF Tennes-
see at $50 ,959 bales. Latham, Alex
ander & Co. say that they received
2l33 answers from 48l counties, and
representing nine tenths Of the cotton
producing region, as well as the people
who cultivate and deal id cotton.
The compilers announce their belief
that the actual result will not vary
materially from the figures they give,
and they add:
UNLESS information in regard to the
crop be sought from the firms whose
answers are given in this report, there
81 no other means by which it can be
obtained; for, exclusive Of these firms
aud individuals, there are not thou
sand others in the South who are con.
nected with cotton; and If the infor-
nation thus obtained from 2l33 Of the
most intelligent aud responsible firms
and business men in the cotton raising
States be not of value, then there is
no possible way 20 make an
estimate Of the cotton crop with even a
shadow of accuracy. At least, the
average estimates made by them is
certainly more valuable than the mere
opinion Of any banker, cotton commits
sion merchant or cotton broker living
in New York or Liverpool, hundreds
Or thousands Of miles distant from the
cotton region, and whose opinion is
formed through the medium of Ordi,
nary business correspondence" a
