soldier* fiied and several were killed ami wounded
of ilie attacking parly."
C nciniiuti, November "J.?A special dispatch
to the Commercial from As'ilan I, Kentucky says :
This noon twenty-five men and boys, partly intoxicated,
seized an engine and car and went on
to Ciitllesbnrg against the advice of sobet men,
who last night gave up nil hope of getting the
prisoners from the military. When they reached
Cnillesbtirg they made no effoit to capture
the prisoners, who were safely placed on the
steamer (jrnnite State. The crowd then hastened
back Jo Ashland, and about twenty of them
went to the ferry h.nit and by the use of pistols
compelled the captain to put out to intercept the
tirauite Stale. Their altitude wo* so ridieubui*
mid their case so hopeless llint the affair would
have bt.cn a force but fur the rccklcssdiscliargcof
a pistol in t he hands of otic of the boys on thefert?.iiii.
It was answered ill once by u volley from
the soldiers. The balls pit reed the be i er oft he ferry
bout and tlie escaping steam completely disabled
the mob. lly this time a great crowd had
gathered o > the batiksoflhe river and in houses.
The soldiers turned their gnus on thciu and fired
without provocatior. Hero mischief was done.
Only three w re wounde I on the ferry bout \>liilc
all the others on the casually list were of the
peaceabje people on the sliotc.
The following is a list of the killed : George
Keener,James McDonald, Colonel Keppcrt and
- on iufant in its mother's arms. Seven persons
were seriously wounded and thirteen slightly
wounded. Colonel l'cppirt was a highly respected
citizen, 70 years old.
The citizens regard thefiringon the ferry boat as
justifiable but have tio words to express their indignation
nt the firing on peaceable citizens.
IiKXt;?iiTO.\, Kv,November '1.?Major Allan,
who commanded the troops that escorted 'prisoners
Croft and Ncal from Cattlcsburg to this
city, has made a report regarding the attack by
the mob upon the steamer Granite State. Major
Allan had for his command return tickets over
the Chesapeake and Ohio ltoad and he intended
to go back that way, but bclic-ving it to be unsafe
lie made arrangements with the captain of the I
Granite Stain- wllioll n?nl nnln lltn.linnlAn ll.,.l
' ? ?-f " .6.?.. ? <?
evening, to take tliem 011 Iter return trip to Maysvillo.
That niglit the troops, in expectation of
an attack from I lie mob from Ashland, were under
strict guard. At 10o'clock Wednesday noon
an order was given for the troops, to move down"
the river front, Major Allan having learned in
the meantime that the mob from Ashland was on
its way toCaltlcttsburg. The troops were marched
down to the river front, the prisoners marching
with guard detailed and with two companies
to assist in guarding them to the what f ami boat,
The remainder of the troops were posted on the
hilt which commands the river front.
The different companies had barely been placed
in position when the train arrived from Ashland
closely picked with a mob. This train
slopped iu full view of the artillery and McCrary
Guards, A delegation of twenty-five or thirty |
men npprouchcd and called for Major Allan. He
advanced towa d them about one hundred yards
in front of the troops. A committee representing
the mob said to ltitn t hat they came from Ashland
for the purpose of taking Neal ami Croft peaceably,
if pusible; if not then hy force, thut they
were 2,000 strong aiul could overpower the troops
easily.
Their demand was peremptorily refused, ami
Major Allan slated that the troops cainc simply
for the purpose of upholding the law and in
obedicacc to orders, and not to bulldoze or
impose upon the rights of any County. That
they did not desire a difficulty with anybody,
especially Keiituckians, ami would not participate
iu any difficulty unless it was forced upon
tliem, and that it any difficulty occurred, the
responsibly for its results must rest upon the
mob.
The coma iltee then stnted that if llie troops
escaped from Catllesburg with the prisoners they
would he met at Ashland by at least 2,000 or 2
)iiw uctcrmiueii men, supported l>y a boat con- |
liiinitig four cannon. The interview then ended. !
The troops were withdrawn to the steamer (iron- i
ite State tinder covet ot the cannon, which were
turned toward the mob until every silJier had
embarked, and were the tid ragged down the It ill
and into the boat. The boat then left for Ashland
with the troops and prisoners, tit the same
time the mob boarded the train and started to
Ashland. When the ooat arrived within a few j
miles of -Vsltland the train came in sight and ran
along the track, which skirls the river front at
that point, at the same speed as the boat; A
great number of shots were fired from the'lrain
lit the soldiers, but the range was too great and
the shots fell short. The shots were not responded
to by the troops, the commanding officer ordering
that no shots be fired until necessary as
a means of defense.
dust ss the Granite Stele approached Ashland
a ferry boat containing, it is supposed, about one
hundred men, armed with muskets, rifles and
shot guns, steamed front the land and approached
the Granite Stale, whistling a signal to stop,
which the latter did not heed, but passed on.
When nearly opposite to the Granite Stale, and
from 'J00 to t.OO yards distant, a great 'many
shots were tired front the ferry boat at (lie troops,
wounding several of Ihesoldiers. The command
was then given for the troops to return the fire
which they did, ami a quick spirited conflict en.
sue-l for four or live minutes. The smoke stuck
nntl hurricane deck of the Grnnite Stale were
well perforated by the bullets from the mob.
Four or five soldiers were wounded though not
seriously. The fire of the troops was directed
entirely at the ferry boat containing the mob,
and not at the crowd collected on the hnnk,
which'was very large and apparentl y very enthusiastic
hi supporting the mob on the ferry boat.
In the engagement the ferry boat was soon j
silenced, and after the mob on her had ceased '
to fire not a single shot was fired by the troops. I
The commanding officer while regretting that
he was compelled to take such strong and deadly
inrans, feels'that they were forced upon liini !
and that the responsibility for the unfoituuate |
results rests entirely upon the men whoalteuip- j
ted to lake the law into their own hands.
Many shots were fired before nnd during the |
conflict by persons on the opposite ii 1c of the
river at short range, hut it was by individuals
and not by any organized body and their shots
were not rcturi.eJ by the soldiers.

Another Change.
It would puzzle the meanest watch or clock
in the country to keep up with the changes
made in the lime schedule of the II. and D. railroads.
Last week we changed the schedule in
our paper and again this week we had to make
another ub.uige. Sec advertisement on the 1th

We would state to.the Ladies of the W. C. T.
U. that although but little temperance matter
has appeared in the Times for two weeks, we
have not discontinued that department. A press
ofadvcrtiscment, and sickness among the hands
iu the otlicc have compelled us to curtail our
usual amount of reading matter. One column
will hereafter be devoted to your cause, ladies.
Personal.
We had a pleasant visit last Thursday from
our old friend, Mr. Julieti A. Cnvis, Editor of
that sterling journal, the Spartanburg llera'd.
Mr. Cavis is among the oldest of our acquaintances
of '-the craft" in this State, nnd we arc

work, and yet that which has grace and elegance
in every crook, may be seen in the Noyos Dictionary

them the fact is clearly demonstrated that if the
inventor has not made the crooked straight, lie
lai made the straight crooked, and thereby increased
its beauty and utility. People in search

It is gratifying to sec such men prosper^

his story in plain language, without any Latin, ^
chemical or scientific terms, ',to mystify any one n!
of the most ordinary education, aid gives the ^
formula of his compost in the same home spun
style, evidently intending to make himself understood
ns well by the poorest and smallest far- 1,1
mcr as (he richest and largest. In fact, his e1
whole aim seems to have been to show, by prac- ''
tical test, bow cheap and easy it is for the poor n!
small farms of (lie South to bo made ricli aud

to poor men. who wiyh to conic liere that it doe.

'hen 1 got here I tound groceries selling about fl
j in Union, except "hog and hominy.'" Hog, d
rcsscd, was bringing 4 cts. per lb, hominy a- o
nit 45 to 50 cts. a bushel. ?
Last year the drought, which will ever be re. tl
lembercd, did not miss Texas, consequently "
vcrything has been very high this year ; but n
igh prices will be compelled to go down now, s
s ilic crops aro very fine iudeo 1. and there will t
e mast enough (o fatten all ot* the meat with d
ut using any corn. d
Notwithstanding the severe drought last year t
ic cotton crop was better thnn the crops back t
licre, with 200 lbs. of feriiltxer to the acre, 1
rith favorable searons. It would just do the ?
uano farmers good to see the crop of this year, 1
rith a drought of about 8 weeks, commencing J
he last of May. This is considered one of the J
cry poorest counties in the Siate, bat there is c
inde on plenty o land this vear a bale of cot- I
an to the acre, and from -10 to GO bushel of z
orn. I do not speak from hearsay, but from I
ctunl experience and observation, lliavctrav- t
led over tho*county a great deal and therefore ?
now. I do not speak of the river bottoms, a
i llicit must be better, but of the average cultiated
uplands. The soil here is varied ? while t
and, black sand, nnd real sticky black land, a
lie black sticky land is the best nnd surest for n
crop, It is pretty hard to break in the Spring, ?
ut when once broken it pulverizes and is easier a
a work if possible than your Santuc Lands, i
f a man will cultivate black land lie will be sure r.
f reward. The greatest advantage I find in n
irming here is that a man cnu make his corn 1
rop and have it olf his hands before his cotton t
I ready to chop out. 1 know that this will |
ecm si range to the readers of tlio Timea, but
; is a fact. i
Land rent here is higher than the price of land i
jr sale. Unimproved land rents here for from n
:? to So per acre nnd scl's (or from $2 to ?o r
er acre. The health of this county I find as s
ood as I had in South Carolina. It is generally 1
xpected that any one just coining here would h
e sick more than the natives, hut I have not u
ad n ease of chills and fever in my family, nn 1 1
re have been here nearly two years. I have ti
ad some billious fever, brought oil by exposure u
a the very hot sun. We have every variety of ii
rater that you can think of?Iron, Copper, Liuie, t
ulpliur, Salt? in fact almost every mineral you p
an think of. The people are generally law- b
biding, kind and hospitable. Churches and c
cliools arc numerous. Tl.o "Sam Houston"
formal School is locitcJ here with about 150
cholars. Fearing that my letter is already too B
jng 1 will have to close by saying that Texas is 0
lie very place for hard working, energetic and
eserving poor men to get a start in the world;
ml my advice to all poor men who can come, J
nd who intend coming at all, is to come this 0

AnorT Ginni.no Cottux.?Much complaint is
gain made by cotton buyers in some localities u
f wlintis called gin cut cotton. Cotton ginned
1 this way not only depreciates it in the marct,
but its tendency is to injure the market v
here it is sold. It is ascribed to two causes, j,
ie being fast ginning, the other by ginning S(
lien the cotton is damp. It would be Infinitely ni
stter for the farmers to have half the number f,
' bales ginned daily and pay a larger toll than
nuble the quantity at a smaller charge and ,|
wo their cotton cut and napped by too rapid C(
lining, besides running the certain risk of
lling it at a reduced rate per pouud,? CharHe
