PLANT City Corier:: Considerable
stir was created at Barlow on Tuesday Of
this week between the contractors on .be
new railroad and their negro laborers. Il
seems that some of the contractors had
incurred considerable expense in bringing
| laborers to their work, some of whom. on
arriving there, endeavored to Jump their
obligations by running away at the first
opportunity a crowd of these runaways
| got az far as Barlow Junction, where
they were overtaken by party of indig.
nant and excited contractors, who waited
in among the darkeys in most energetic
manner, and for time negro hide wa.
considerably below par. The greater
portion of the recreants were hustled on
to train and carried back to their work,
Our informant tells us, however, that the
hands are not well pleased with the rough
treatment they received, and that the en-
tire force is very much demoralzed.
Jacksonville HeraM, Never were
colored men more delighted than were
the officers of the Jacksonville Guards
on receiving their commissions from Gov.
ernor Perry and Adjutant-General Lang
this morning They were looking for the
commissions, knowing that General Baya
hac recommended their issuance, and
when the official envelope was handed
out OF the city post-otfice Captain Frank
Ign Instant tore it open and exhibited
the documents to bystanders, evidently
much pleased thereat. He said some
men had reported that a Democratic
Governor and an eX-Contederate General
would not issue military commissions to
colored men, but it was not true, for Gov
ernor Perry had done it and he was pleased
to say the report was false. There were
commissions for F. Franklin, Captain;
j. G. II. Singleton, First Lieutenant;
David Hall, Second Lieutenant, and Al
bert Price, Junior Second LieutenauN.
All bearing the great seal of the State.
-Palatka Herald: The crops in west
Putnam are very sorry excepting the
corn which will soon be housed, and AZ a
general thing is very good, much better
than was at one time expected. With 2
very few exceptions the farmers will
have plenty to do them, for bread and
to fatten their meat, should no disease
get amongst the hogs. Most of the
farmers i'll this section have raised a GOOD
number of hogs. y few farmers have
paid some attention to the culture Of
high land rice, and if there was only a
mill to clean it, most of the farmers would
plant largely as it of easy culture and
the yield is above forty bushels to the
acre; as a feed for milch cows it is better
than peas or corn. The cotton crop
looks very well, but when you get
through it, You will see that the fruit is
not there, but plenty of rust; if there
should be a late fall, and rain in sufficient
quantity there may be a full third crop
and no more. While on a visit to
Amelia Beach last week, we, in company
with few others from the hotel, attended
quite respectable colored wedding in
