MILTON CHRONICLE THUKSDAT SEPT 9, 1869 Important lo"onr Colored Fellow Citizeun." - From the Detroit Iribun we take tbe following rose-colored account of a negro colony in the State of Michigan, and commend it to the attention of the negroes in Virginia and North Carolina who want to "go off and do well.' Perhaps "the league" might get a large company of ngro emigrants to go to this colony, and it would be both a practical benefit and "political justice1 for Wells to head the company and march back with' (hero to his Michigan home. The Tribune sayi: A colony of over several thousand ne groes own many thousands of acres of the fairest land in Cass county. Michigan. In the township of Calvin they are pos sessed of nearly one half of the real estate, and pay little less than half the taxes They have established a number of ex cellent schools, conducted by colored teachers. The building of two fine chnrches Methodist and Baptist-is proof that they have not neglected moral and relig ious culture. They have good instiuctors in instrumental and vocal music, and support a fine brass band. There are iev eral men of liberal culture from Oberlin and Hillsdale University. These young men are encaged in the practice of medicine, the mechanic arts sind inthe dry goods trade. The negroes own and run steam sawmills, and steam thresh ing maenmes; they are manufacturing grain cradles and rakes, growing superior live stock, cultivating fruits, and produc ing hundreds of acres of the finest grain. They are not merely imitative people, but ingenious, self-reliant, positive and progressive, and will bear favorable com parison with their white neighbors in all the legitimate relations of life. Merchants and mechanics through all this region bear the highest testimony to their worth and promptness in business affairs. During a three weeks' visit in this part of the country a correspondent has failed to des tect the first instance of idleness or loaf erism among them. They purchase lands clear away dense forests, build homes and highways and churches, subscribe for newspapers, magazines and railroads; educate their children, sing sweet songs of labor, love and home; and worship God with an evident consciousness that these are as much the aims and purposes of tbeir life as of their fair-haired Saxon neighbors. A Strange Homicide Through Jeulousy From the Yieksburg Miss Herald 20th. Dr. Lott, of Oakland, Miss., killed Captain F. D. Barnes, a young lawyer of that place, on the 9th instant. As we get the statement from the Grenada Sentinel, it appears that Dr. Lott was addressing a young lady of that place, and he had made a confident of his love affair to his room mate. Captain Barnes. Captain Barnes remarked that he intended soon to seek her acquaintance and call upon her, which he did. The next evening afier his visit to her. Dr. Lott called upon her and was discarded This incensed him to a very great extent, and he seemed to labor un der the impression that Captain Barnes had prejudiced her against him in some manner The next day, therefore, arming himself with a six shooter, he said to Captain Barnes, "Have you not betrayed my confidence? Answer me truly, for your life depends upon it." Captain Barnes attempted to explain, but before he could do io Lott fired, the ball passing through the heart of his victim, causing instant death. Notwithstanding this, he stood over the lifeless and prostrate man and fired the remaining five charges into him. And then mounted his horse and rode Error is a misfortune to be lamented; but to know the truth, and not to render your Action uniforn with it, is a crime which both heaven ana earth condemn.

She was dressed. in a pair of store boots and an iron gray set of spectacle, and she walked up to me with majesty in her mien. I knew who it was the min ute I set my eyes on her. It was a woman. I gracefully arose and said, 'How are you, matm' was you wishing to subscribe to the El Paso Journal? at the same time dippin' my pen in the ink and openin' my subscription book. This alwuz gits 'em. It looks like biznees. It didn't git her. She fixed her glassy eyes on me and said: Young man, are yew an advocate for the holy caws of woman's rights?' No. maam said I, I am a Presby terian.' 'Air you she said, 'prepared to embark with us over the sea of equal suffrage? 'Maam,' said I, 'I haint no objection to takin a quiet sail with you, provided the boat ain't leaky and you'll do the rowin.' A smilo perused her features for a moment, and then she said, 'I am wil hnn to suffer for the caws 'Yes,' said I, in a , polite and softenin' Lmanner, 'It'll only cost two dollars, aud we 11 send it to any address for an entire year. Hev you a wife? she asked. '1 hev, said I, wonderin what she was cominlat. 'So that you see I couldn't marry you et 1 wanted to L threw this in as a soother. 'Air you willin' that she should share with you the burdens and trials of life? 'I ain't no ways pertikiler,' said T, "an' I'll let her shoulder tho hoLe of 'era ef she has a hankerin' that way.' "Wood you consent that she should go to the poles?'' said she. 'She can go where she pleases said I She ginnerly duz. 'Yew air a hole sold man,' said she, and throwin' her arms aiound my neck, laft wildly. 'Git out,' said I, 'what are ye up to? I aint one of them, men. Stop." After much labor I succeeded in un loosening her hold and sit her down in a chair. 1 judged from her conduct that she stood in need of a few moral obser vations. 'loo air an impulsive femail,' said I. ' Yoor nature is at ence spantaneous and outbreakin. Yoo need a pair of martin gails. Consider what would be your state efa man's wife was to catch yoo 3 hug gin' of him in this style ' She wiped her face with her dress She had on a dsess. I forgot to mention this fact in speaking of her spectacles. '1 am a worker in the caws of Women's Rightr.' 'Yes,' said I, 'yoo air. Yoo ought to be ashamed of yourself. I should judge yoo was one of them lobby women that the Chicago Tribune correspondents tells of. But yoo ean't come yoor nefarious airs over me. I'm stealed against 'em.' 'I should be pleased,' she said, 'to go arm in arm with yoo to the poles.' No. yoo don't, said I, in alarm. 'not ef I have an v thins to say in the matter. I won't go with yoo not a single darned pole. 'Young man,1 said she, hast tnou chil v dren? I hev,' said I, 'seven of 'em. Can yoo show as good a record? 'Wood yoo,' said she, 'hev your girls crow np and be married to base, sordid men, wno wouia laice away ineir poiiucai rites and allow 'em no franchises? Darn the frachises, says I in a rage; 'they are the things that women put on behind to give 'em the Grecian bend. Ef my daughters ever go towearin' 'em ' No, no said she, they are panni ers', 'Well said I, 'panniers or franchises, or whatever yoo call 'em, I am opposed to 'em. They are on natural and humpty. They 4gratle the human form into the likeness of a camel, and lovely women down en all fours like a cat.' . 'Then said she, 'come with me, and we will emancipate women from the slav ery of dics . 'No said I, with severity. 'I hev no wish to take the close away from any woman. Wimmen without close would be a sad spectacle, particularly in winter, when the howling blasts prevail. ; Who are you, any wayr I asked of ray risitor. I am a pilgrim ahe said, 'I . belong to the Agitator, & noospaper devoted . to the caws of femail suffrage in Chicago. 'Well, said I calmly, 'the wimmin in Chicago need , something of - this sort. Where them that. air. married. ntvr no goin' t. bed .t night but .luC o, op m monm they may be diTomd, nd them that aint married spend their time in bettin' how many times they can be married and divorced within a month. The wimmen of Chicago need agitatin' powerfully. Keep a stirrin' on 'em up, if you please. The more you agitate, the best for 'em. With these words I arose, and telling her to set still until my return, I stole softly down stairs. I have not been back since. What will be the effect of of leav ing a femail agitator silting in my seat the whole of this time I np not, but if she waits until I go back her patience will be cast iron Religion that will Wiar. -There is not much solidity in a religion that will not stand the test of every day experi ence. "There are a good many pious peo pie." says Douglas Jerrold, "who areas careful of their religion as of their best service of china, only using it only holis day occasions, for fear it should get chipped or flawed in working.day wear." That species of religion may do for a show, but there's little substanee in it. It is not the kind to last. It is too fine for use.; It is too much, of the gilt gingerbread sort for the more general service of man kind. It can do little good in the eyes of one who judges us not by the exterior, but by the interior evidence of excellence. Religion, to be servicablel must not only be substantial, but active. It must not be drowsy. It must be wide awake, vigU tint and wvtrajTt Nothing leaves us as it Eound us.U a sheet of paper, on which a key has been laid, be exposed for some minutes to the sunshine, and then instantaneously viewed in the dark, the key being re moved, a fading spectre of the will be visible. Let this paper be put aside for months, where nothing can disturb it, and then in darkness be laid on a plate of hot metal, the spectre of the key will again appear. This is equally true of our minds. Every man we meet, every book we read, every picture or landscape we see, every word or tone we . hear, leaves its image on the brain. These tracesr which under ordinary circumstances are invisible, never fade, but in the intense light of cerebral excitement start into prominence just as the spectre image of the key started into sight on the applieas cation of heat. It it is thus with all the influences to which we are subjected. The Tobacco Crop. About seventy- five per cent, of the tobacco .crop is pro duced in five States. Unlike the crops of wheat and corn, which are grown through, out the country, particularly in the West where the yield is enormous, a failure of the tobacco crop in Virginia, North Car olina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Maryland, would affect the prico of this staple very materially in the commercial centres The indications in .Virginia, "which rais ed thirty per cent, of the crop in 1867, and in North Carolina are that the yield will be reduced one half. In Tennessee and Kentucky we believe the season has not been as favorable as usual. So that, as we have said, a mate rial reduction of the crop in these largely tobacco producing States will tend to elevate prices, and that this will be the result in the reference to the tobapco "ferop we think it reasonable to conclude. The tobacco is now active. During the past week in New York, Kentucky leaf was held lor an advance, and manuiac tured tobacco was in brisk , demand and buoyant- Petersburg Ex.

'' CTirocto TwIUjtta Wonderful Meteorological Appearance i th Rocky Mountains Stmee tho Eclipst To the Ed, ef the Omaha Nebraska Herald. Your paper, having recently taken quite an interest in all that nertaina to the 07crf WiU b I-pre- ,uoe , fitUe ,b-ie, ,e- &Mede space scription of a meteorological phenomena L.i ? - , mat is now trauspiring eaes evening in the skies above the Rocky in that roman tic territory Since the reeent solar eclipse, they have, upon the summit of the Rocky Mountain chain, what the inhabitants call a "second twilight, so orifftaut with colors of mist, shade 'and fire, lights as U pain the eye in its steady gaze upon them, and to leave an impression on the mind that will never be obliterated. Just as the sun is about to set, a heavy mist gathers on the mountain, and grow, ing dense and denser it shuts entirely the last expiring rays of that ominous body, then all is darkness, or nearly to; for al most thirty minutes; when all at once the heavens become lit up from the horizon all around, far up to a sural! circle in the center, with a livid glare of tho most dazzling chromatic colors, seeming as though a tremendous bonfire was ablaze below, throwing its glare in clear and steady flame above.This gorgeous and fearfully beautiful scene lasts for nearly an hour, then dimmed by its fiery luster regains its ascendency and lights up the. balance of the night in pale shadows as it is wont to do in every other clime. Now, what causes the chromatic twi lights? They were never before witness ed by any of the oldest mountaineers. I was in that section at this season la it year, and I have never seen- jo grant sad so thrilling tv iUxb0 jr occurred since the great- solar eclipse of the 7th inst. What does it mean? What does it protend? How does it originate? Old Sarshay the learned Ute Chief stands in silence each night gazing at this wonderful phenomenon, and when asked what he thinks about it, replies, slowly and sadly: "Ugh! the Great Spirit is mad! He blows fire! His wigwam? re in trouble! White man and red man better feel afraid, for the Great Spirit is mad he is heap angry!". French Feterthe old trapper and miner, says: Itis now twenty-three years since I have seen the State. I have been etev en years in these mountains, ami I have never seen such fiery night. The winds are damper; they blow milder and the air grows heavier. I dont know now - to- ac count for it. It all has happed ainee the eclipse of the sun. There will be-a big fire some of these days that alt the waters of the world will never drown out,, and those days are coming rapidly." If it be true, as one of the Fiofessora of the Cincinnati Observatory says, that im mense volumes of hydrogen ga were thrown out from the center, of the sun to the surface, during the recent solar eclipse how long will bo before the oxygen will be thrown out, and the carbon became the ruling and destoying element? I give these particulars by request, and there are numbers of people in this city who, on last Sabbath and Monday nights, witnessed, , with roe, this wonderful phenomenon on the summit of the -Rocky Mountain chain, 8,262 feet above the lev el of the sea. The Cheyenne and Laramie papers will endorse this description. Queer Whim There is a lady at the White Sulphur Springs of whom it is said that in the days of girlhood she re solved to wed the hundredth man who courted her and. to reject the ninety-and-nine who preceded; and; it is said, the vow was religiously kept, and that she actually married the hundredth . woer! "Hallo! ejaculated an anxious guardian to his'prctty niece, as he entered the parlor and saw her on the sofa in the arms of a swain who had just popped the ques tion and sealed it with a kiss, what'a the time of day now?'' "I should think it was about half past twelve, was the eool reply. of the joyful damsel yon tee we are almost one." Governor Hold en it very much like Henry Clay.
