The Cincinnati Gazette says the
best newspaper men Of the day are
those who have worked their way
up from the composit0r's stand or
the reporters desk, apd who, In
addition to the practical knowledge
thus obtained, possess that indis-
pensablc but undefnable mental
quality known sometimes as the
!" journalistic INSTINCT and some.
times as " q nose for news" With
out the practical experience a good
journalist may be developed but
without the !" journalistic INSTINCT
or the 'snose for news one will
never succeed in making himself
valuable in a newspapers editorial

Work on the New Orleans and
Northeastern road is progressing
finely, aud most every one who
lives on the projected route are
hopeful of a prosperous business.
This road will develop a vast coun.

unknown heretofore. Farms will
spring up, mills will be built, aud a
new impetus will be given that sec.
ton unparalleled in the history Of
our State.

Moss PeINT, April 4, 1854.
Editor DEsOcRAr-SrAR:
Iwish to set before the people OF
this vicinity few facts, for which
purpose ! ask n small space in our
much esteemed home paper. On
the twenty-ffth of March prox. one
Moses Davis, a worthless vsgraut
OF negro forcibly catered my en-
closed premises during my absence
against the wishes auti in defiance
Of the authority Of my nifA aad in
suited and frightened her with pro-
fanity aud abusive language, and
then defed her With oaths TO have
him arrested. Being n law.abiding
citizen | made complaint to Esquire
Randall, who issued bis warrant
aud had the scamp arrested, the
facts in the case were clearly vet be-
fore him in open court by nv wife
whose statement Was verified by
another witness, aud | naturally
expested Justice. But Esquire
Randall released the negro without
punishment, thus granting him, and
all others who feel SO Inclined II
cense to trespass upon people's
property, to insult ladies and uiolsto
the law against profanity with
impunity. Section 2967 OF our
Revised Code makes trespass n
crime punishable BY both fine aud
Imprisonment. Section 2974 makes
pfofane swearing u crime Sauish-
able by fine. This neTro. Mr..
Randalrs friend, was guilty. Of .
violation OF the law in both rsopscts
as was clearly proven, and yeA hs
was not punished. Now sir, where
are we to 60 for equal rights
with the negro II. not TO our own
chosen magistratef Shall we take
the law into our own hands, aud
defend our families and our pro-
perty, or shall we quietly submit
TO all such outragess can but
consider Esquire Randalps sctions
in this instance as adding insult to
injury, aud bis course merits the
approbrium of all good people.
But being still unwilling to take
the law into my own hands / au'
forced thus publicly to denounce
the action of Mr.. Randall as a be-
trayal of the trust we have hereto
fore given him AZ an officer, and to
say that consider him unworthy
of the place he holds. We can
find u man for justice Of peace who
will give MS AN equal chance with
the negro under the Law instead OF
having, Us is indicated in this
instance, favorites, and that too
amongst negroes of tho worst
class as this scamp Moses Davis is,
and II have any influence what
ever, 1t shalr be directed from this
day TO our next election In an effort
to place some one In the position
which Ii ut present bcfouled and
bcsmirched by man who has
shown himself in my opinion un-
worthy of either the confidence or
support OF our people. '''' t'

fist-FIghts Of Statesmen.

Senator Lamar was knocked
down the other day by coming il
collision with u carriage horse. The
Senator says this is the second time
he was ever Knocked down. The
first event is thus narrated: Years
ago, when he had just began the
political career that has become SO
glorious, Lamar had u dispute with
a local celebrity ut Covington,
named Zacharie, tamiliarly called
"Uncle jimmy This man was
very powerful. When the war Of
words came on he was sitting in a
chair, and Lamar confronted him
erect. Knowing well enough that
his only safety was in intimidating
bis gigantic antagonist, Lamar
drew a pistol, pointed it ut the sit
ting man aud calmly said: "Uncle
Jimmy, il you attempt to rise from
that chair l will kill youw Uncle
jimmy concluded to obey, though
with ill.suppressed wrath and pro.
fuse promises of future settlement.
Not long atterward, when Lamar
was treating some democratic fel-
low-citizens ut corner grocery to
beuzine or wine; he heard an exult-
ant voice cry behind him: "Lucius,
| have got you nowl" Suitlng the
action to the word, Uncle Jimmy
lot drive his muscular arm aud fist,
which, coming in contact with La
mars head, caused the body to
stagger aud tall. Lamar rose aud
Uncle jimmy precipitated his
hugh bulk against him like q cat
apult. Then the democratic party
present thought the time had come
to interfere and Uncle Jimmy was
seized BY siHewy grips and told to
release his hold. Not satisfied with
his method of doing 80 he had a
second peremptory admoDition. At
this juncture be plalntively sqneal-
ed /: 81 nin't holding him, he's hold
ing me." Sure enough, on examiu-'
alton ID was found that Lamar had
Uncle Ji,nmy's finger in his mouth
aud would not let it 60. During
the melee Lamar had selzed a skill
let aud made quite u mess OF his
burly fOeman's face and head. But
this was the first time he had ever
been knocked down, and the last
time until Thursday afternoon.
General Wade Hampton says he
never had but one flst.fight, and
that WAS with q Columbia bully,
who attempted to add him 10 the
