The coun try republican nominating convention today - , i - v. ; a uzt. nominateu eigui negroes uuu sixteen w unes, four) whites and; two negroes, for the State legislature. A maority of the whites are northern men and are connected with the Freedmen's Bureau. i . Ainegro was shot dead yesterday on the plantation of &r. Merri weather, near this city for declaring himself opposed to the Union League. The Montgomery Council, which claims to be the genuine League, has expelled John F. Keffer, a leading radical, for dishonorable conduct, -and the action is calculated to excite a war of races. , Keffer has a league which he claims to be genuine. The whole affair will be laid before the Grand Council of the Union for its action. Mobile, Ala., Dec- 28. District-Attor- :L. V. B. Martin met Judge Busteed of the United States District Court, this morn ing, in front of the Custom House, and ac costed him, saving, "Judge, will you allow that indictment against me to take its cour se?' - Judge' Busteed replied, "Sir, the law must take its course." Martin then drew his revolver, and fired upon the. Judge, who fell to phe pavement, having received two shots, one below the Dreaat-Done. and another in the right leg. General Sherman will remain here un til about the middle of next month, for the purpose of getting up his report ofthe Indi anjpeace commission.

By unanimous vote, it was agreed that kennell is the true root, a fact.in etymology unknown by either Webster or W orcester.

Manv of the anecdotes compressed within the follow ing paragraphs is easy to verify ; and every reader will acknowledge the value of the lesson which they are intended to teach. Remarkable as some of them are, not one ap proaches what is related, and earnestly be lieved in the East, of a famous Mohamme dan," namely, that during his confinement In the prison at Bagdad, where he died, he read over the Ejjpran seven : thousand times. That" we may see- says Dr. Plummer what can be done in becoming acquainted with the Bible, let us look at a few facts : Euse bius tells us of one who had his eyes bprned out in the Diocletian persecution, and who repeated in a public assembly the vrey words of Scripture With as much accuracy as if. he had been reading them. . Jerome says, of Napo tian that by reading and med itation he made his soul a library of Christ ThoedoMus the yonnger was so T familiar with the word of God that he made it a subject of conversation with the old bishops, as if he had been one of them. Augustine says that after hjs conversion he ceased to relish even Cicero, his former favorite author, and that the Scriptures were his delight. 1 Ter tullian spent a great part of his time in reading the Scriptures, and committed large portions of them to memory In his youth, Bexa learned all Paul's Epistles in Greek so thoroughly that when he was; eighty years old he could repeat them in that language. Cranmer is Said to have been able to repeat the New Testament from memory. Luther was one of, the most indefatigable students ofthe Bible that the world has ever seen. Ridley said : VThe walls and" trees of my orchard, could they speak, would bear wit ness that there I learned by heart almost all the Epistles ; of which study, although a great part was lost, yet the sweet savor there of, I trust, I shall carry with me to heaven." bir John Hartop, a man ot many cares, made the Book of God so much his study that it lay before him eight hoursa day. A French nobleman used to read three chapters of the Bible every day on bended knees, whith head uncovered- 1 The! War in Crete. Fifty thousand refu gees have been taken off the Island ot Crete to Athens, and other parts of Greece. The latest inews from the island is highly favor able ip the Turks, who seem determined, now that the insurgents have forced them to renewjhostilitiesj to carry on the warj with energy. The troops have moved and occu pied dearly all the mountain passes, to the great dismay of the insurgents. The East ern and Western Districts have sent in their submission, and the Central only show signs of resistance. ! ' ' mi i ? a i ' i r . ine reorganization or me govemmeiu oi the island is most favorable to the future welfare of the inhabitants. A Governor and three Christian sub-Governors have been ap pointejd. A general council are to be crea ted. . The Cretans are the least. taxed sub jects of the Porte, paying about $2 per head annually. When these reforms are carried into effect the I Grand Vizer will return to the .capital. u . .. . . . . .1 A Constantinople correspondent, writing on Cretan affairs, says Present appearances indicate that the funds of the Cretan com mittee are exhausted. So long as the sin ews of- war" existed there was no lack of adT ventures and' filibusters ready to join the in surgent, but now they all desert the cause and leave the i unfortunate Cretans to their fate. If Russia does not hasten to comply with her secret engagement by rendering more material aid, the insurrection will sure ly fail, and her influence in the East will be irretreivably lost. ; December and the Napolean Dynasty. The month of December is remarkable for events interesting to the " Napoleon - family. Sixty -three years have elapsed, since Napole on I. was crowned in the Cathedral of Notre Dame by Pius VH. On the first of Decem ber (1807) Jerome Bonaparte was proclaimed King of Westphalia. On the second of the same month (1805) was fought'the battle of Austerlitz. On the fourth (1808) Napoleon entered Madrid. On the tenth (1848) Citi zen Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was elected President of the French Republic. On the Napoleon from Josephine. On the eight . . --fcT- t 1 j i-x eenth ui) iNapoieon returnea to jeans after the disastrous campaign ot Russia. On the twenty-third (1806) Napoleon defeat- ed the rtussians at uarnovo. un the even ing of the twenty-fourth (1800) the infernal machine exploded as thev First Consul was going to the opera. On the twentysixth H777V Marie Julie, the wifa of.Toseiih Bona- v . . flarfe was born it was on the fifth ot De Cember, 1792; that the National Convention decreed the penalty of death against all who exported grain from the territojy of the Re DUblic.

ArPALLiNG Disaster Four Hundred Lives Lost at Sea. A letter from ! Rio, dated November 24th,. contains the follow-- ing appalling statement : This morning, a Brazilian steamer has arrived from Monte video, bringing the news of the loss of the English 'mail steamer Saturn, in a terrible gale off that place a week ago. She was iron clad, ' and one of the finest looking steamers I ever saw. She left the harbor ot Bahia while we were at anchor there. When she went down she had on board 400 persons. including the crew and passengers. Among the latter was the English Minister, who had just been relieved to: enable him to make a short visit home. He, with the rest, was lost, only fourteen out of the whole being saved. fllndiana is to appropriate $413,549 to per- sons who lost property dj Morgan s raia.
