sA1FH CouNrY-Tbe Tyler Reporter Of the llsh,
says that while the crops in that vicinity will fall short
of the expectations INDUCED in month ago, it be-
lieyes Smith county will make as much if not more
cotton than it did last year.


We make the following extract: During the week
one John Rains alias George Traveller, fine, has
been before the examining court here, NJ. Wood, JP,
on the charge of committing rape upon the person Of
Miss Eliza Ingram white girl living in the James
town neighborhood. Most Of our local readers will
remember that this case was somewhat publicly
tlaed during the Of last year. just after the
finale of the transactions involved had transpired,
in the abduction of the young lady, them as has been
shown only about thirteen years DID, her subsequent
by relatives and friends and the search for the
negro, which proved aborve at that time. As an in
stance which will refresh minds in regard to the
matter NAV recur to the fact that this s the negro
for whom party of citizens from jamestown in
quest when they attacked by squad of United
States soldiers under command of Lieut.. Gregory Bar
rett then acting bureau agent etc. here, fired upon
the streets aud driven from the town. Since that
time the negro has been at large, until some time ago
he hired himself to citizen of this vicinity under an
assumed name, and was few days ago recognised and
arrested. At the time write the examination has
not closed and as the matter will probably be finally
disposed of by higher court we forbear from any
expression Of opinion for the present, though volume
might be written with clenehed teeth to stir the blood
but probably not better the heart


We learn that two other negroes have been arrested
in connection with this case-one man accused OF
assisting in the abduction of the young lady, and the
other woman charged with an attempt upon her to
produce abortion

since had his right ampntaed His escort, except

fJimplecute, 18th.


Our STANDARD -BEARERs.-Out of the nettle, danger,
the National Union Republican Convention have
plucked the flower, safety. With unexamped una
nimity, upon open ballot, forty counties repre-
sened in the convention and by delegates OF great in
fuence respectability and WORTH have presented to
their fellow citizens candidates for State Offices against
whom not objection can be urged on the score of
character qualification, and in whose favor thou
sand warm words can be said.


Judge Lewis Dent, of Coahoma, received on ballot,
and most deserredy unanimous nomination for Gov
ernor. The convention in truth, only expressed what
the people had resolved on. For Lieutenant Governor
Judge Jefords has been nominated, whose only fault
that he would not bring the judicial ermine into
base contact with radical prostitution-an able accom-
plished gentleman fully understanding the wants,
wishes and interests of his adopted State.


The remainder of the ticket has been selected with
careful consideration of the peculiar wishes of the
rious sections of the State Those of the old Guard
Missssippans who knew the State in her days of high
est glory and prosperity, will rally around the of
Robert Lowry endeared to them that of an eloquent
and able jurist and an experienced statesman.


The ticket is as strong could have been presented,
and naught now remains but to push it forward to
victory. Probably no other names could have been
presented more acceptable and free from objection.
The old time citizen, the Confederate soldier who de-
sres the State to be restored to relation with the
Union; the conservative Republican who earnestly de-
sres peace and struggles for universal amnesty and


universal suffrage wishes the past to be buried, and
all to start on a new career The hitherto disfran-
chsed and the newly made citizen ALL with COM
mon accord support this ticket upon the platform it
rests with shout for Dent Jefords, Lowry and their
associates, press forward to the nobest struggle Mis-
sssippi ever engaged in-that of sefgovernment un-
der the Constitution and the Union.
