Your article was very readable
and interesting. | was here that
Sunday evening of the memola-
bic fight on our southeastern line.
1t was truly a disastrous attack on
the part of the Federals. 1t was
an utter failure, and they lost
many men. The attacking brigade
was nearly annihilated, nearly
every man being killed, wounded
or captured. The report to Gen
eral Johnston was 42s prisoners.
There was lot of guns, muskets
and rifles and ammunition that
could not be gotten away for want
of transportation. These arms
bad been sent here for General
Pemberton, who was cut off at
Vicksburg before they reached
him. These guns were distributed
by General Johnston to Brecken-
ridges division, all loaded, in the
trenches; when the attack was
made each man in the trenches
had from three to five guns at
hand all ready for use.
TheConfederates had previously
cut down all the trees in front of
the line, to clear the range, and
cut the trees perpendicular to the
line of Entertainments, and made
an abitis, cutting off and sharpen
ing the limbs in the direction the
enemy had to come. / believe
General Lauman, the general who
made that fight, was relieved of
his command and retired. If he
was ever in the service afterwards
during the war, or since, / have
never heard of him. This fight
occurred after the Federals re-
turned to jackson after the sur
render of Vicksburg in July.
They came the first time in May,
1868, under General Grant, after
their landing at Grand Gulf and
Bruinsburg, and after the battle
of Port Gibson on their march
to infest Vicksbulg.

Reaping The Fruits Of Whitecappine.

The people Of Franklin> county
who have, been engaging in the
whitecapping outrages for the
past year or so are now reaping
the fruits of their folly. A new
farming season is at hand, and it
is impossible to induce negro la
borers to 60 to that section for
love or money. Fancy wages
are being offered to induce negro
immigration to Franklin county,
but without any degree of sue
cessful result, The consequence
will be thousands of untitled acres
in the county during the coming
year, and long train of evils are
following in the wake of the law
less conduct that has been carried
on by white men under the guise
of enforcing law and order.
In Amite county, and some
sections of Lincoln, the situation
is equally as bad. The negroes
have steadily drifted out of the
three counties, going to the cane
fields of Louisiana, the rich plan
tations of the delta, or the saw
mills Of South Mississippi, until
today the three counties lack at
least eighty per cent of the labor
they need to properly till the
soil and raise the usual crops

BUSINESS AND FARMING OUTLOOK.

DUSlNEJS ANU IhMWttNU VutLVVN.
The business and farming out
look in Lincoln county was never
better in the history of the county
than it is today. Last year nearly
all the farmers raised good crops
of corn, cane, potatoes, ETC., and
an average crop of cotton. Though
most of the farmers disposed of
their cotton before it reached the
high prices prevailing of late,
the price at the opening of
the season was a paying one, and
the average price received for all
the cotton marketed at Brook
haven during the season would
not likely fall below 10 cents.
Scores of farmers have money
loaned out at interest or depos-
tied in the banks. The advance
price of cotton, with prospects of
its holding out at profitable fig
ures for some time to come, and
the ready sale of cotton seed at
good prices, has given fresh
impetus to the farming interests,
and fresh land is being cleared,
old lands fenced and cleaned up
and preparations are being
made for the largest crop of
cotton and other farm products
ever raised in the county.
The only fly in the prosperity
ointment is the labor troubles
scarcity of labor and deserted
farms in portions of the county,
as a result Of the white cap out
RACES. Many farmers who en-
couraged and sympathized with
the white cappers in the earlier
stages of their operations, have
come to see the gravity of their
mistake and they find it impossi-
bic to get negroes to work their
lands, as heretofore. This situa-
tion has been aggravated by the
alertness of swarms of labor
agents, who have been shrewd
and quick to take advantage of it
and entice hundreds of negroes
off to the Delta, Louisiana, and
Arkansas. However, in spite of
this unfavorable factor, the out
look for the future is bright and
hopeful. Our Brookhaven and
other county merchants are SELL
ing more farming implements,
fertilizers and other merchandise
to farmers than ever before.
The use of fertilizers and i'm
proved farm implements, and the
fact that a good deal of white la
Dor which has heretofore left the
farm is returning, will largely
offset the loss of negroes who
have left and bring about full
normal crop in the county if the
season should prove propitious.
The Leader would utter one
brief note of warning to the farm
ers amid the present fattering
prospects. Avoid all needless ex-
travagance and do not ignore the
hog and hominy side of the sub
iect. Twelve and fifteen cent
cotton will not pay the farmer in
the long run if it is made to the
neglect of every thing else which
should be raised at home.

... ~ SIAN ARMY.

rrE
st. Petersburg, Oct. 15.-General
Kuropatkin reports that he has or
dered the Russian troops on his left
flank to retire because Japanese rein
forcements threatened to cut them Off
The dispatch says, regarding the
fighting of Oct. IL and Oct. Is, that
the Russians on the right wing de-
Tended their advanced positions ana
also portions of the different main po-
sitlons, particularly in the direction of
Sialiupedzy, until towards evening,
whef Kuropatkin ordered them TO
withdraw short distance. In spite OF
the fact that the Japanese attacks
were chiefly directed against these
troops they held the ground to which
they retired. g. sr
j On the left wing. after a very OBJ
stinate struggle, the Russians occupied
the Rocky hills, south of Bentsiaputze
and near Bensihu, about eight miles
north of Yentai, but the arrival Of
large Japanese reinforcements pre-
vented them from pro6ting by this
SUCCESS and as this body was separated
from the rest of the troops Kuropatkin
ordered it to retire.
The dispatch reiterates that the Rus
slams suffered heavy losses, but no de-
tails have yet been given out.
1t is now evident that Kuropatkin' S
plan was to press his advance, not
directly from the front, but toward the
left for the purpose of getting in the
rear OF Oyama's triangle.

nELATED DISPATCHES TELL OF
RUSSIAN DEFEAT ON THE
RIGHT FLANK.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 15.-The en-
peror has received the following dis
patch from General Kuropatkin:
1.-TWO regiments of the Russian right
on Oct. IL sustained heavy losses. The
commander of one was killed and the
brigade commander was wounded.
Both regiments were compelled to
withdraw. abandoning their artillery,
but subsequently, under Colonel Van
novsky. who temporarily assumed COM
mand of the brigade, they, after des-
perate assault, regained possession of
the guns with the exception of sixteen,
which remained in the hands of the
Japanese. The final issue of the battle
Wednesday on this flank was unsuc-
cessful for us. On account of night
attack of the Japanese, who executed
turning movements, our troops were
forced not only to abandon their posi-
lions, but again lost the guns previ-
ously recovered from the Japanese.
Our forces retired to the position pre-
viously prepared on the Shakhe
river"

In the direction of Bensihu the en-

Wednesday, but were repulsed. The
enemy showed a sign of retreat to-
wards the evening and our forces as
sumed the offensive since daybreak of
Thursday. The fanking movement of
our strong force of cavalry on the
Kanien largely contributed to the
favorable development of the situation
in that quarter.
"The central and left columns of the

atoms of the central army are pro-
crossing favorably, dislodging the en-
envy there from several strategical
positions. Our reinforcements are ar
