Secretary Lincoln recommends to con-
gress slight increase in the army. His
reasons for the increase are disciplinary,
entirely. The fact is the army is not
large enough to give the officers the re-
quisite amount of practice in the hand
ling of troops. It is understood that
hereafter the policy of the secretary will
be to consolidate the different commands
as far as possible, and abandon all the
little posts in order to get soldiers enough
together to make respectable drill. 1t
is said that he will dwell at some length
upon the subject of desertion. Last year
l5 per cent. Of the enlisted men Of the
army deserted, and to fill their places it
cost the department $4,000. The Sec
retary will, it is believed, as remedial
means recommend to congress slight
increase of pay. The enlisted mon now
draw but $l3 month. He will probably
suggest the restoration Of the old amount,
SIG, winch was in vogue until 1865. when
it was decreased to the present figure.

The Postal Telegraph company is set
ting its poles between New York and
Chicago, being already we'll into Ohio.
The poles do not follow any line of rail-
road, but rise beside the highway. The
disadvantages of having to keep in re-
pair line that is away from o railroad
track is obvious, and further disadvan-
tage is that the highway line will be
bothered by trees. which line follow
ing railroad track would not, It is
claimed for the Postal line that each of

McPhersOn-WhittonT Tragedy.

We glean from the Lonoke Democrat of May 25 the following particulars of the killing of w. F. Whitton by Mr. Ed. McPherson, at Carlisle, on the 22nd ultime:
 Ed. McPhersoa, ,who was local editor of the Cabot Courier at the time it sus- pended, on last Monday shot and killed his brother-in-law, ". F. Whitton at Carlisle. They had formerly been part ners in the photograph business, and it appears that Whitton had run off with McPherson's wife whom he had carried to Carlisle. McPherson followed them there and had them arrested but they were discharged. Soon after the trial they met and commenced quarreling, when McPherson showed Whitton off with his hand. Whitton immediately pulled his pistol and shot as McPher- son, who in turn commenced shooting at Whitton. After several shots had been exchanged, Whitton fell mortally wounded by shot that struck him in the head. He died about two hours af- wards. McPherson was struck by only one ball which barely grazed his threat,
 He was arrested and tried before Esq E. A. Young, who released him on the grounds that it was a justifiable hemi- eide.
 Col. John Hallum of this place rep resented McPherson in the trial.
