Ky., on the 15th instant, says that a farmer named Gain, while passing through an adjoining farm, belonging to a Mr. Som? mers, was shot at ana slightly wounded by Sommers. Tho latter s wife joined in the attack, and fired three times, wounding Cain twice. Gain then seized ap axe, and nearly split Sa m mers' head open.. Mrs. Sommers was also hit on the head with the are, and shot in the h?ad and breast with her husbands pis? tol, which. Cain seized. The two uro dying.r Cain was shot in the head, shoudler' and bowels. The last wound wi? probably prove mortal. An enmity bas existed between the men sinoe Cain fired at Mrs. Summers last spring.

It is not BO muoh tho dearth of capital, bu t the absence of proper concentrutibn of capital in1 every neighborhood, whfobj'tf properly applied, would egon ?>? way into co-op erat i vo cottoo mills. : Why should not the farmers und planters-<>f each County associate and erect a cotton mill bu shares, and thus secure the profit in converting the ruw material into yarns? This Bubjeut has been discussed, to some extent, in the* upper Counties, of the State, and will, doubtless, result in many manufactories of the various arti? cles of trade and commerce, -j] Ono enterprising gentleman. Col. ' F. E. Harrison, Of Anderson ville, who owun extennivo wuter power, has already embarked in this business, with some new and distinctive features, weil worthy of consideration, lie proposes to re? ceive from 'thd heigh boring: farmers and plauters their crops .of out tun, in the so ml, and manufacturo it into y ar os for u reasonable toll or per den tage-thus giv? ing the producer tho advantage of the manufactured article over the raw mate? rial, and saving him the expense of bag? ging and ties. Again, he - proposes to buy, if he ban, all he may otherwise manufacture in tho seed, .?toro it in the seed, and only gio it from day to day as ! ho may be abie to convert it into yarns. First, because this saves the expense of bagging'and ties; and, second, and mtuh the most important feature, is the ' preservation of the staple of lint of'the cotton in its original strength and glossi? ness. As long as the seed is not separat? ed from the lint, it affords oanstant sup? plies of oil to the lint, and yarns or cloth thus.made will be stronger in tex? ture and Chow bettor cn thc markets. This gives the Southern people an advantage over all importers, whether domestic or foreign, in the manufacture of cotton, which they should not be too tardy ip securing. PROGRESS. NOBTUEBN SETTLERS-THEIK RECEP? TION.-On this subject, tho Carolina Weekly Slav says: A great deal bau. been published in Northern newspapers concerning the treatment of Northern men who have immigrated into the South since the re? storation of peace, much of which is co? lored by prejudice, but a good deal of it is honestly stated. Men take very dif? ferent views of their surroundings, ow? ing to their different tastes, susceptibili? ties, prejudices or judgments. When a Northern man comes South singly and settles in a strange neighborhood, he is very apt to imagine that every little so oially unpleasant incident which may happen is in some way connected with the fact that he is a Northern man. And nine times out of ten it has no connec? tion with that fact whntever. North Carolinians have migrated from thin State to regions of the South-west, and have encountered.as much that was disa? greeable as many of the i inmigran ts from tho North into the Southern States oom plain of. Men are by nature not only emt ions, bat jealous of strangers. And when-there are deoided differences of ; tasto and feeling, the coldness resulting i is more difficult to break through. Those- tilings must be expected and cal? culated on. They are inseparable from the nature of men, and are especially incident to a time of great irritation, like the prcsont, when niue out of every ten of the best class of Southern citi? zens have got tho impression (correctly or incorrectly, we do not nnderluke to decido which,) that the Government of the oonutry is engaged in a systematic effort to deprive them of their constitu? tional liberties. Our true interest is to encourage Northern immigration, and we advise cur people to be kind and sociable to all Northern immigrants settling among them, provided their conduct will justify it. We should olaim no right to influ? ence the opinions of men. But of their oonduot we have a right to judge; and whenever that becomes auch that associ? ation would be encouraged and nnpleo sant, it is better to cut loose from such associations. But the true plan for Northern men desiring to come South, us we haeo heretofore suggested, is to form associations of say half a dozon families, ptirchass a large plantation and divide it np among themselves. In this way they become independent of that feeling of coldness which is felt towards straugora everywhere; for it is indifference and not unfriendliness they wjll have to encoun? ter; when their good qualities como to be known and appreciated by their new neighbors, more intimate sound relations will arise. Tho Jewish Messenger, speaking of tho tcrmB "Jews" and "Isra?lites," Baya "that 'Jews' is applied to UB with par? ticular suitableness, will appear to all who reflect on our past history, l?r the greatest bulk of our pcoplo, espeoially styled ?Israel,'has been lost. Tho He? brews of tho day? of Moaon and the Judges, OB a compact nation, exist no longer.

To the Editor of ihn Phoenix. -*ltfH.--EoiToit?wIiri yow Issue of t?te date, u D der the title of "Local Items," thoro is aa artiole professing to give to tho- publiiTiii ncoount of tho hearing of the application ou bohulf of Wm. D. A? Ueu, E*q<, fer bail, made before J edge Melton, on yesterday morning. In this artiolo, the following sentence occurs: "Solicitor Talley, assisted by Messrs. Worthington and H?ge, insisted that it was a capital offence, and consequently waa not bailable." lam obliged, in jus tioo to myself, to say that this statement is not trae in any sense. It may and doubtless does arise from mistake or I misunderstanding, but, nevertheless, I daim it us an act of justice to mo thut this^error be corrected. I bad no understanding with Messrs. Worthington Sc Kogo of auy ground to ; be takon, but was first informed by them, when I passed thoir ofDco ou my way to the Court House, that they were retained to aid thu prosecution. I,'ut the same moment, gob the testimony be? fore tho Coroner, which was nil the evi? dence on the part of tho' prosecution, and had not seen or heard the affidavits on the part of the prisoner, and conse? quently withheld uuy conclusion in re? gard to the courso to bo pursued. Upou the conclusion of tho showing on each side, Messrs. Worthington Sc H?ge suc? cessively argued the case, presenting the view that the offence was not bailable. In accordance with uniform practice, I reserved tho presentation of my view as the last of tb? argument on the pnrt of the State; but in this purpose I was an? ticipated by the announcement, ou the conclusion of the two argumenta alluded to, that the Judge desired to hear no? thing further on the question, whether the offence as exhibited by the evidence waa bailable.' Upon this announcement, it is manifest that it would have been improper, an well as wholly useless, that I should say anything on a point ruled by the Court. Consequently, I said not a syllable on this question. It is-mani? fest, from this statement, that I neither expressed nor indicated any HU oh opinion as is imputed to me in the seutoucc above quoted. Yours respectfully, WM. H. TALLEY, Solicitor of Fifth Circuit. Moy 20, 1871. THE NEURO KU KLUX.-Itobesor County, North Carolina, is pillaged bj a gang of negro outlaws, who m ai n tai i themselves in tho swamps, whenico HUM sally out to rob and murder. A few months ugo, they murdered th? sheriff of the County. Tom Lowrey a leader of the gang, was captured, bu broke jail. Some time afterwards, th? now sheriff of Robeson summoned th? Oounty posse and surrounded Tom Low rey's house. The outlaw broke throng! the line and made his escape. After wards ho was captured, and on his tria on the oharge of resisting an officer, Mr. Parnell and his son, who had beni of the party summoned by the sherill gavo testimony against the prieonet Thereupon Henry Berry Lowrey, th present leader of tho gong, th reuten e. vengeance against tho Parnells. Th Robesonian, of the 11th, gives tho parti culars of an attempt to carry this threa iuto execution. A band of negroei hideously disguised, made a descent o Mr. Parnell's house, and ordered hi wife to get them sumethiug to eat. SI) waa greatly terrified, but Bet about pr< paring a mea], in the meantime sen d i ri off her son on an excuse, to give hi father, who was working on the furn: warning. This he succeeded in doinc and Mr. Purnell and the oldest so took to the woods, where they concoide themselves. The disguised gang di not appear to be anxious about eutiut but remained ut the house till 10 o'cloc nt night, waiting thu return of Panie) It theo became evident that their it tended victim had taken the alarm, wlie they proceeded to plunder the premise and carried off with them all the urn that wore in the house, the clotUi ug < the family, about 400 pouuds of bucoi neurly a whole barrel of flour, aud var OUR other articles. No insult or persoui violence was offered to any member i tho household, but a warning wns le that if anything wns said ubout tin visit, they would return aud murder ti whole family. Thus, it seems, continu* the Robesonian, that we are nil complet ly at the mercy of this murderous bun of marauders and assassins. Hem Berry Lowrey and his band aro to u intents and purposes perfect masters i the situation. The citizens of th County bold their property and tho fives subject to the will of these desp fiends, and from this condition of thiiij there seems no immediate or even remo prospect of relief. A deserted wife in Pennsylvania, wi liss advertised her errant husband, say "He is a tull mau, about fifty years ol has considerublo money and a high for head, long face and lantern-jawed mu n bad man with a fist like a giant, at has often beat mo, and I want him to er his duya in a penitentiary, where he b longs; and he wears a gray coat, with very large mouth, und one blue eye ur ono blind blue eye, and a hideous-loo! ing maa, and I want him brought sh up in tho law with bine pants." .

Demosthenes, holding in his heart the iicry impulso that begets eloquence, and in bis brain tho power that makes it re? sist lus?, read Thucydides at all hours, aud copiod and re-copied bia history time after time. Brut-us loved Polybius; and even on the lust solemn night when thc world was still his, and time still he longed to him, ho sat lute, thinking not of the bannered legions of Antony aud Octavius that menaced bim on the com? ing day, but peacefully and laboriously eugnged in abridging bis author.

A RUINED FAMILY.-1860-the daught tor of a Presbyterian clergymnn in the centre of this State, who hud been reared in a strict and rigid manner, pro? ceeded to New Haven, Conn., to spend a month with friends during the college commencement season. While there, taking advantage of tho new freedom from restraint afforded her, she carried on extensive flirtations with the students, und was ruined by a member of tho senior cluss. He persuaded her to leave her friends and return with him to New York, instead of going home. Singular to relate, she appeared almost from choice to enter upon city dissipations and excesses, until, becoming thoroughly hardened and depraved, a sister came on to visit her and persuade ber to go back to her father's home. Instead of doing so, however, tho visiting sister was also persuaded to remain and enter upon tlie same terrible life which her sister waa lending. Since then the two abandoned women havo lured their two younger Bis? ters away from the parental roof, and the four are now keeping what is known as a "fashionable baguio," between Twonty fifth and Twenty-eighth streets, on the Wost side of tho city.

It is absurd to work in with the prayers and sermon for harmonious religious effect. If the minister does not work in the prayers and singing, ao muon the worse for the minister. in Daring prayers, be whispering and turning.over .scores and .notebooks and j consulting. ??p ono of tho saints will notice you, fdr they will bo hard at prayer. If any of the congregation do not particularly desire to be praying, it will help to entertain them. Keep things brisk, and draw mach attention to their choir., The church was built, and the congregation gathered for tho choir. Mind that; it is a fundamental principle. * As soon as tho sermon begins go out of church. If it. is pleasant, weather you can have a smoke, and get bock in time for the next musical performance. . You ? do not come to church to worship; yon are paid so muoh for Bioging or playing; not for bearing sermons; or, if yon are gratuitous, yon have laid the congrega? tion already under enough obligations by your professional services. Never let it be settled among the sing? ers who is chief. Let each take himself and herself the most important. Is it not enough to keep harmony in the eiugiug? Why ehould the singers be harmonious? It is not regular and fash? ionable to have peaoe in a choir.. . The ! singers owe it to themselves to have ! strife about something or nothing. Let everything be done through strife and vain glory.
