THE NEGRO EXODUS.
Alabama Fields Left to Care for Them. selyes-Homeseekersf from North
 ern States.

EUTAw, Ala, March 11.-Within about forty days 500 negroes have emigrated from Greene county to Mex ico and several hundred are now awaiting arrival of trains to take them away. They are sacrificing their mules, horses, cattle, etc, to enable them to go, and renters are leaving plantations they have leased for this year. Owing to the late date other renters cannot be obtained to make the crop. This means much loss to the landowners and to the railroads, as the corn and cotton will not be grown to freight away.
 Much excitement exists here among landowners over the negro exodus, but 1t is proba ble that great deal of the land will be taken by emigrants from Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana and other states, and about sixty homeseekers, from Tippecanoe county, Ind, are shortly coming to Eutaw to select and purchase planta- tions for their future homes. Owing to the excited condition of the white people it is not probable that further efforts will be made by the railroad people or by the paid immigrant agents to induce the negroes to emigrate to Mexico.

CAPTURED A WHALE.
An "OId Settler" on the Massachusetts
 Coast Captured by a Nahant Crew.

Coast Captured by a Nahant Crew.
 BosToN. March IA whale about seventy-fve feet in length and evi- dently an old settler was killed off Nahant Saturday by picked crew of experienced men made up. in Nahant for the purpose.
 Saturdays whaling party sighted the monster about a quarter of mile off shore and proceeding cautiously were able to get near enough to strike him just behind the head with d har- poon. The whale, suddenly stung, threw up his huge tail and disappeared in whirlpool of green water. To the harpoon was fastened about thirty fathoms of line on the end of which was a stout cask. This was thrown overheard and in moment it was whislted out of sight by the whale in his efforts to escape.
 The whale came to the surface about mile from where he had gone down, swimming round and round, seem- ing to have the twine wound round him. The hunters lay off and watched his struggles, which made the water boil.
 After awhile he quieted down so that the whalers were able to get within ten yards of him and put charge of slugs and bullets into his head from an old-fashioned flint lock and duck gun that soon had him floating belly-up and stone dead. The body was then lowed to point near Little Nahant beach, from which point it is the intention to tow it as close in shore as possible.
 The whale is evidently an old one, as he is half covered with seaweed. Deeply imbedded in his back was an ancient harpoon, badly rusted, but with the inscription Hiram K. Swain, Nantucket, 1855" still legible.
 The Nahant whalers are in high glee, as there has been considerable rivalry between them and their Swampscott brothers over the pros pective capture of the monster.

ATTEMPTED TRAIN WRECklNG.
Ties Piled on the Track in Front of a Fast
 Express.

VALPARAISO, Ind, March 11.-Satur- day night, just before midnight, the east bound fast express on the New York, Chicago & St. Louis railroad struck pile of ties on the track about five miles west of this city. The en- gineer saw the obstruction too late to stop, and the engine struck it with such force as to knock part of them from the track and push the other 200 yards before the train could be stopped.
 The passengers were thrown from their seats, but none seriously injured. The engine had to be raised with jacks before the ties could be removed from under it.
 It is supposed to be the work of train robbers, as numerous tracks were found around that point.
 This point is an ideal place for train robbers, being in deep cut and away from any telegraph station. Two well-dressed strangers were seen loiter- ing in the country near there Satur- day afternoon, and are supposed to have been implicated with local talent
