A GANG' OF SCOUXDHKLS.
On Saturday night, as Mr. Q. I).
Williford was leaving the barbershop,
ic was attacked by four or live negroes
u ho had evidently planned the assault
before hand. Mr. "Williford's first

ivh'ch was no doubt aimed at his head,
lie turned round and found himself
surroti ded. but not having' been disd)led
by iln dow succeeded in wresting
from i i.e hands of one of his
assailants the stick with which he had

;oon scattered the gang of scoundrels
and so rapidly did they make themselves
scarce that Mr. Williford could
iot recognize but one or two of them.
Liy this time some of his friends had

Due ?f the negroes was found and lie
was compelled to give the names of all
5f the others. The search was coninued
for some time, but none of the

jave probably skipped, and very wisely
:oo, becau-e Mr. AVilliford and his
friends have the names on a little 1 st,
ind if any of them are seen in this
neighborhood again it will prove to be

Our attention has been callel, hovr*ver,
to the recent notion of Associate
Justice Topf, whereby he sets aside
ind Hi>pends the order of Jud^e
Hudson in :t Minilar case Iliat arose in
Darlington County. The action of
Justice roj>e, in some re.* poet p, is
without a precedent, : lid perhaps
iviihout a para'le1, in ihe hi.-tory of
:his State i:r any other St-te of the
CJi.ion where the l iw is supposed to

jut the decision <>f Jn-tice P- pe in

While we arc* well sati-fied that

lispensary at this placc, \et such
tneii!'.' wnnld heofonlv a temporary
rharaster; us we assume that, up?n a
similar application, Justice Pope
ivould immediately lIIow the dL-pcnser
tc open here in the same manner as
ivas done in Darli.igton county. Our
ight therefoie would be barren of
oraciicul results, as it is generally
conceded that the disptn?ary law will

jave such presumed action of Jus:icc
Pope re\i;wed bjtbre next January
ivhen the docket of the Sixth Circuit

For these reasons, therefore, we
id vise agaiuj-t the taking of any action
on your part for the purpose ot rcmcivingr

had such fine rains in our immediate
vicinity, we are somewhat surprised
to learn that in certain sections on the
river there has been very little, very
good cotton showers, but too little to
do corn much good. Since the rain,
the cotton has made wonderful improvement.
There will be a scarcity

and the crop of young corn will of
course greatly depend on the seasons

OUR AllKAXSAS LETTER.
j Portland, Auk, July 28. ? It has
j been quite a long time since wt: have
1 hrntd Irc'in any of \our correspondents
onf>i<l>: u| ihi* old S'it'e. at.d 1 often
wonder if I he y have all gone back j
home ?r have become s;> much lib

writing, or if like myself they have just
grown careless ih the matter. .
'JhkNews and Hkuai.w eontimus
to make its weekly visits to me, and I
j never fail to lind something interesting
in it.
South Carolina politics afford* mach
subject matter for c<>:ivi l-afion, and
is severely cririei-cd by the press of
| tin* country, li is a deplorable fact j
| that the grand old palmetto State,
always heretofore noted for the in-1
telligence, dignified deportment, and j
I chivalry of her people, and >pedaliy
for the wi.-doin and prudence of her
legislators, is fast looking her fair
reoutation abroad. The dispensary
law espbcially is ridiculed ai d denounced
in no measured terms.
Aikansas is free from any political
strife at present; all clashes and conditions
seem te be satisfied with the
administration. A good deal of attention
is being given to the repairing of
public buildiugs and highways, and
i the building and improvement of
I schools and colleges. This State, hotj
withstanding the seri?us calamaties
she has suflered from the floods of the
Arkansas and Mississippi Hivers, J
| both last year and ibis, which spread
j destruction and ruin ever a large ?.rea j
| of her richest and best farming land, I
| i? si ill for the most part in splendid ;
i -hap?\ financially, and is rapidly!
j C"Uiing to the front as one of the!
j leading States in the Union. Be sure J
I Mini see Arkansas' display at the i
j NYorla's Fair, you that go there; ihat
will give yea some idea of her res
iiirces. I will be in Chicago t he last or
I August, and would be greatly pleased |
J to meet any one from your couutv at ;
| our j-t ite building.
This has been rather an unfavorable |
I year f^r farming in this part of tie I
| c untry. The crops suffered lirst from j
cold weather in the spring, which was j
followed ly continuous heavy rains, j
ciusingthi! young plants lo become i
siunud, and gate the grass such a|
stronghold that at one time it seemed j
like the crops could never be cleaned, j
but for the past six weeks the weal her !
! has been quite favorable and work j
lias been pished forward with so uiuch I
zeal and energy that "General Green" J
with his strong armies has been cam- j
plttdy routed, and the cotton crop is
now in fine growing condition, and if
no calamity befalls it later on, a good
I nveragre croo of the staple will be
made." There will be but little more j
than hall a crop of corn made. Fruit
and melons are plentiful but of rather
inferior quality.
I made a ten days' visit to Texas
the latter part of June, and during
that time I saw enough of the state to
realize the fact that the "Lone Star"
is indeed a great State, not only in
extent of territory, population, and
material wealth, but in many ways.
She has more elegant and costly public
buildings, more railroads, and the
best free schools of any of the Southern
States. The country a-ounil Dallas,
and especially that in the vicinity of
Terrell, Kaufman County, where I
stopped for several days, is really
charming at this season of the year.
It is undulating prairie land, the soil
is black anil gray sandy, and i: all
et.closrd with wire fence-, and that
which is not in cultivation is either
used for pasture or for growing hay.
Tho soil is bt?st admied to "rowing
corn and oats, though a great deal of J
cotion, wheat and other cn.ps ar#
rai-ed. Considerable attention is!
given to ?tock Htid cattle raising, and j
! fruit gro villi: in that section is quite a
paying industry. Aio-a of the tarra
labor i< performed by w11i:e people
wih improved machinery. The fanners
have yood teams and good Imiw s,
and many of them lire in piiucely
style. They have good cistern and
well waer, and best ol all a healthy
climate. We were ^o charmed with
the delightful breeze that blows continually
day and night that my betterhalf
and our two little ones decid-'d to
remain there thr?>uijh the h<-t summer
month?, and they aie now enjoying
irs health-giving benefits.
From Terrell I went about 150 miles
s mfh ovpr fhfi Texas Midland and the
Houston and Texas Central Railroad, j
making short sfops at Corsicana..
Ennis an-l several places of less im-1
portance until I reached the town of
Hearne, situated in the rich cottnn |
producing bottom land of the Brazos !
Ilivel*. In making that (rip .1 noticed ]
that the further south 1 went the more j
attention was given to raising c-Mton
and less to grain, the more numerous |
the colored population became, the!
poorer the stock was, and the less i
inviting and prosperous the country i
gcheiHTTr^peared. It is a fact that
where cot toiil^***<&jt^epeople are its
slaves. The p?pulatioiT?&Jlearne and
the adjoining country, wit\jhe exception
of thr> i.i.iroad empT&yee?,
merchant* a".! i.^iel people, secnNiti
to be ali:i->?i exclusively negroes',
There for the first time on my nip 1 I
heard the familiar song and felt the !
stinging bite of the tireless mosquito, i
I also heard great compiaiut at me i
recent appear?nce of a new kind of
fly that was doing great damage to
cattlp. This new issue of the insect
family being very diminutive, was
designa'ed the "third party fly."
Returning over the I. G. X. R. R.,
I passed through Leon (Jointly, where
a great many former South Carolinians
are living, many ?f whom I learned
were well fixed and quite influential.
Thore for about 100 miles the country j
along the railroad presented anything j
but a pleasing appearance. It is a'
broken timbered country and as poor
is that of Northern Georgia. Then
we came to rich land agaiu which c?ntinues
on to Red Rirc>*, Louisiana.
I spent a couple of days in different
parts of Northern Louisiana, then
returned home satisfied that here on
Bayou Bartholomew we have as rich !
land, as good opportunities for making j
money, as big mosquitoes and as,
