The editor says in announcing the beginning . of a new volume that he has never can- ," vossed for it a day, but let it stand upon its own merits. It is a good local paper. ' Messrs. W.

Our contemporary, the Washington Gazette thinks there is too much poli tics in the newspapers for an off. year, lie appeals to the Dretnren oi tiie press to doll the political toga and enter up' " on an intelligent discussion of what is nwcuaary to promote the material g'owth of the State.

The Slienandoah carried and there was also a large shipment by the Railroad. . ! , Vtunr andCbat, . ' , j . Solicitor John H. Collins had a ljittle set too with E. E. ;Tucker, the proprie tor of the Banner, on yesterday) . A warrant was issued for Collins by E. G. Hill, Esq., and , the case heard . at 3 'clock p. m. - : ..j'i.-.:! ' 1 . M. D. W. Stevenson Esq.", appeared for, Collins. Before the case was opened Tucker applied for ( peace -warrant, but not being able to show, sufficient grounds for it to issue, the justice re fused the application. . ! ' The only witness examined for the State was the complainant, Tucker, who stated that he was standing, with several others, near the pump, opposite Hahn's livery stables, when Mr. Collins came down on the opposite side of the street, went into Mr. Detrick'sl and stayed several minutes, came out and walked Across the street to where he was standing, and demanded the name of the author of the article that appealed the Banner concerning him. He, Tucker, asked him if he didn't know the rules of newspapers. Collins re plied that he cared nothing for news piper rules and again demanded the author and struck him with a stick. He, Tucker, then caught hold of Col lins and shoved him up against the wall and then threw him xyer on the pump when parties standing near by separated them. Virgil Crawford and E. R. Dudley, Esq., were not examined as witnesses, but they say that Tucker's story is substantially true; :Virgil adding, that when Tucker had Collins on the pump he looked so slim and piti ful that he couldn 't help pulling him off. Mr. Stevenson offered no evidence to prove the innocence of, bis client; but in extenuation of the assault read thear tide-in the Banner and argued that any gentleman who had the least spark of honor resting in his breast would have resented such an insult, and that when Tucker refused to give the name of the author it was enough to provoke him to strike the blow, s ' ". J :5 'I - J' ? Judgment of the court, one penny and cost. Tucker reminded the justice that there was & grand jury in the county and court adjourned. i r A Counting an Army by Grains of Corn. When Lee s army was passing through Chambersburg, Pa., in 1863, on the way to Gettysburg, Mr. Messrsmith. the cashier of the bank, took a station on the bank steps and undertook to ascer tain the number of rebels, tallying ev ery hundred men on a slip of paper in his hand. - A rebel officer ordered him to desist under threat of being placed in arrest. Mr. Messrsmith bowed and proceeded to his barn and obtained 100 grains of corn, which he held in his right hand; which was thrust into' his pantaloons pocket" He again took his stand on the steps of the bank, and for every hundred men that passed he dropped a grain, of corn. When his hand was empty he had numbered 10, 000 men,' and then he gathered the grains up again to repeat the . enumera. tion. Thus 'he stood in the hot sun and, the weather was sohorching at the time .counting until he had. numbered 60,000 men. During the night he com municated to Gov. Curtin the informa tion he had thus obtained , An Englishman's Opinion of the South' - ern and Middle Statesk;J. "The people of the Middle States are more liberal than the Yankees. ! They seem also to haye broader ideas. have sometimes thought the reason for this is the topography of the country. In New , England , there, , are . i many moun tains, with narrow and contracted val leys, but as you proceed West you find the valleys become wider and the plains more frequent. The ideas of the peo ple also become more expansive, and correspond to the country.',' ' "What are your impressions of the Southvu.v, .r.;;f.-- p- 'The Southern people' are Only just beginning to get reconciled to the loss of their slaves, but I can see that they have begun to do something without them. There are many improvements going on in the South and before many years there. will be many manufacturing cities there.. The climate there is cal ciliated to make people indolent, but notwithstanding that, I notice much en i. I ii;-e all through this section. The negro is an important factor In the South,' and as they become more educated will materially help the country. - Even now they are working their little farms, and some of them are becoming quite well off. - The better class of Southerners are working their plantations, I learn, nearly the same as before the war, only they hire their help instead of owning it. There are many beautiful spots in the South, and a man could dream away his life in that luxurious climate, eniovine the good things with never a care, only- he needs money, juBtthe same as anywhere else. To be sure, the productiveness of the soil is wonderful, and there is hard- ljr anything needed that cannot be raised there. Denver Tribune. O - - Atrocious Murder. .:! Coldmbds, Ga., June 13. A report of one of the most atrocious' murders ever known' in Alabama reached' this city yesterday. ' On Tuesday, at Rockford, Coosa county, Alabama, a negro named Jordan Corbin entered the house of a peaceful citizen named Benjamin Cor- den and shot him while he was lying on his bed. His wife jumped up and the negro shot her down. Cordon's son started to the door to give the alarm when the negro also shot him. All three were instantly killed; Corden's daughter, about 14 years of age, made her escape and gave the alarm.; There was no provocation for murder, and it is thought that the negro intended to assault the girl. Scouting parties are hunting the country for the fiend. .' STATE NEWS Gleaned from our Exchanges. Wilmington Star: We learn from one of onr leading rice fanners that there will be - an increase in the acreage of low water rice in this immediate section this year - of about' 600 acres, with a probable yield of about 25,000 bushels. 1 The wort ot planting was completed about the 1st ot June. Mr. H, B. Williams, of the Canetuck sec tion ot .Fender county, writes us that the storin of the 2d of June and the rain which has been falling nearly every day since have dam aged crops in that neighborhood at east one-third, if the weather should stop now, and if it continues nothing scarcely will be made. Our correspondent also states that Mr. A. 11. Hilbnrn, postmaster , at Viola, has had one hundred swarms of bees this spring, i ; ; i Weldon Roanoke News: On Mon- day afternoon as the three o'clock tram pulled out for Wilmington it passed the Petersburg freight which was ; moving slowly . on the next track. . Mr. J. B. Mpttley was standing on the track watching the passenger train when the cow catcher of the freight struck, throw ing him on it. Mr. Mottley's feet got eaught between the point of the cow catcher and the cross-ties and it was only with great effort that he succeeded in extracting himselt. As he got iree he fell off the cow catcher next to the mail tram which struck, him on the shoulder. lie was much bruised but we are glad to say sustained no serious damage, He is getting along well. If the freight had been moving more rap idly he, would have been crushed. Washington uazetter We were shown this week a very pretty dis play of silk cocoons by Sheriff Batch well. They ; were raised by Mrs. F. J. Satchwell, of this town, and reflect much credit upon her skill, as it was only an experiment. From a small purchase oi eggs sue raised 500 cocoons and would have had many more had it not been for an accident during the cold snap in the spring. ; It is said that they require very little attention except during a short period. Would it not be well for others to make the experiment! The crops in this county are now growing finely and the farmers are busy. The recent rains have started all the crops and have been of great benefit, except in some sections where it is still too wet. ,, With the present warm weather, this disadvantage wUi soon be removed. In Hyde county it is still too wet around the Lake. Charlotte Journal-Observer: Mr. JY (S. Sossamon. of '. Huntsville, brought us a curiosity yesterday in the way of a Btalkof corn. It is no larger than a lead pencil and might be mistaken lor a sprig of grass, yet an examination shows that it is a perfect stalk of corn The tas. sel ls fully developed and a tiny ear of gram can be seen about half de veloped. This remarkable produc tion was raised by Col. Sam Smith on the land of Mr. 11. H. W. Bar. ker, near Huntsville,--Mr. E. G, Spilsbury. superintendent of the llaila cold mine, yesterday exhib itcd more cold in this office than the reporter has ever had in the bank at any. one time in bis life. There -were three " bars, each one weighing twelve hundred penny weights and worth about 1,100 each. : This is ' the result . of not qnite three weeks run at the Hatfe, and serves to strengthen the con viction that the ' mine is growing richer andt richer the further it is developed.' The Hailo mine has long been ' considered- one of the richest mines in the South and bears a splendid reputation. , . .

Mr. James T. - Lincoln sent us a few very fine peaches last Monday. They are the first we have seen this season, were of the Amsden June variety and were raised on his farm, six miles be low misplace. , , i :. .- Capt H. H.. Dowdy of Bayboro has shown us one of ; the finest potatoes of the Early Rose variety that we ever saw. It weighed eighteen ounces. The Capt. informs us that he had ready for shipment five barrels of the same that would average over half that size. Be side Capt. Dowdy Mr. C. H. Fowler and J. W. Brabble have shown us some very one potatoes of their raising. These gentlemen are all well pleased with their crops but can't appreciate the prices offered. - A good many farmers in the Mill Pond and New Ditch neighborhoods are very busy laying by their corn, which, in many instances, is looking splendid, taking into consideration the cold spring and bugs. - Some of them, the farmers, will finish their corn this week, except their young corn. Rice is looking very well. As to cotton there is not a great deal of that planted, and as a general thing it is not looking very well. ' H. W. & J. M. have the best cot ton I have seen. It is nothing strange to find forms on their .. best. , Mrs. An nie G. Lane has a flourishing school at the foot of the Mill Pond road : has 26 scholars on the roll and they keep com mg in; she teaches instrumental music on piano in connection with her school, has six music scholars. Richmond .Dispatch'. A German woman immigrant is teaching the farmers i in the neighborhood i of Norfolk something ; about sheep, shearin g. The Virgini an says; ''The modus' operandi was simple, but very eftective, and a great improve ment on old Virginian method which reauires two ; negro men to catch the sheep, two to hold it and one to shear. . After catching the sheep and tying its hind feet ' to gether, the woman sat down on the ground with her legs stretched out in front, and bound the animal's feet to her right foot; then taking the sheeps head under her lelt arm she rapidly and skillfully plied the shears with her right hand. The work was , beautifully done, the fleece being removed very evenly and the skin free from all cuts When necessary the sheep was shifted from side to side." COMMERCIAL.
