A gentleman living in town
rose about 3 o’clock a few mornings
since and accidentally discovered some
person in his garden helping himself
to such tilings as best suited his taste,
llo immediately opened upon him
with a revolver, and at the second shot
helped him off the fence. The third
shot was thought to have not taken ef
fect. It has not been ^covered yet
whether it was lirooks, or some other
other negro that lacked the honesty to

tains no kino, catechu, galls, &c., and j
acts like a charm upon old and young. ;
Wherever used, it merits and receives j
encomiums of the highest praise. No j
family should he without the Red Di- j

THE BARBECUE AT SEARCY, i
tiraml Seymour and Blair Rati
fication meeting.
The Democracy of this congressional
district had a most enthusiastic meet
ing at Searcy, on Saturday last. The .
citizens of White county had made ex- j
tensive preparations for a Democratic j
barbecue, and made ample arrange
ments to hare welcomed the entire
district, and had, notwithstanding the
inauspicious weather, a glorious turn
out. By 9 o’clock in the morning
there were over one thousand pcoplo
on the ground, with eager ears to
swallow down the truths of our politi
cal salvation. The day proving rainy
the throng proceeded to the Presbyte
rian Church, where the meeting was
organized by calling Maj. Skillern, of
Austin, to the chair, and requesting
Mr. John Moore, of Searcy, to act as
secretary. Maj. Skillern introduced to
the assembly Col. Sam. Williams, of
Little Rock, who expatiated most log
ically and fully upon the issues of the
day, portraying the corruption in po
litical affairs and showing the only
remedy. At the closo of his speech,
the rain having ceased and the crowd
hniiwr intnliln i irni itif.Y pllim'll. it.
was moved to repair to the stand pre- i
pared for the occasion. The assembly
then formed a procession and moved
to llic designated place, during which
time the stars and stripes were raised i
and a salute of thirty-eight guns fired,
accompanied by loud cheeriug for Sey
mour and Blair.
Having readied the stand, Col. Cam
eron, of Cross county, was introduced
by the chairman and entertained the
assembly with a most interesting
speecli of two hours duration. He
thoroughly dissected tho Radical par
ty, elucidated their corruption, expos
ed lAcir villainy, beginning at the be
ginning aud winding up with its de
mise. lie allowed tho colored people,
many of whom were present, who
were their friends, who would protect
them, that God alone freed them, aud
asked them who it was that stole what
they made now? One of tho number
replied, “The same who stole from us
during the war—the Radical soldiers.”
Dinner came oil"; there was a boun
tiful supply of the best the country
could aftord.
At 3 o'clock in the evening a meet
ing was called to appoint delegates to
congressional convention. We did not
learn tho result of the proceedings.
Col. Pickett, of Augusta, was called
for and responded in a short speech.
At 8 o’clock at night there was a
grand torchlight procession, which, af
ter moving through tho principal
streets halted at the stand used during |
the clay ami was addressed by Messrs, j
K. S. Gantt, K. C. Newton and Col.
Cameron. 1
It was a grand demonstration, and'
we regret that we ate unable to give an
extended report of it, with the resolu
tions.passed and tho other busincsn |
transacted during the day.

ANOTHER SHOOTING SCRAPE.
Peter J. Hicks, or the Wheeler
and Hicks tfl'ray. Gets
Shot In the Arm.
Mr. Peter J. Hicks, who was in com
pany with Capt. Wheeler at the time
lie was shot on the 4tli inst., left his
home in White county on last Thurs
day, accompanied by his family, for
the purpose of visiting some relatives
in St. Francis county. The party was
traveling in a wagon, and when about
three miles beyond Prospect Bluff, as
Mr. Hicks was walking some distance
in advance of his wagon, it seems he
discovered John I’. Lewis accompanied
by two friends, riding meeting him.
Just as they bad rode their horses in a
small run and had halted for the pur
pose of letting thorn drink, one of
Lewis’ friends beheld Hicks upon the
bank above, about ten yards distant,
with a double-barreled gun presented
at Lewis, and Immediately exclaimed,
“Look out Lewis, that man is going to
shoot you I” Lewis instantly sprang
from his horse and took shelter under
the bluff of the run. Hicks advanced
to the edge of the bluff and fired, but
without effect. Lewis then drew a pis
tol and fired upon Hicks, taking effect
in the right arm, causing a very painful
wound. Luckily for Hicks, Lewis’
pistol bursted in bis bauds as be fired.
Lewis then made an attempt to draw
another pistol from his belt, but broke
the stock in trying to do so. Ho then
-turned to got another from his holster
on the saddle, but bis horse bad taken
fright from the firing and run to some
distance. Being left unarmed he
sought his horse, mounted him and
loft. Mr. Hicks was then taken to a
house and cared for, and is said to be
doing well. Thtffec arc as near the facts
of tiic case as we have been able to
gather front parties we have talked
with from near the scene of action.

J. O. Nixon, Esq.;
Dear Sir: I ivisli, through your pa
per, the following facts may bo circu
lated :
There is living in this county a man
who has in his possession a little girl
about six or seven years of age, blue
eyed, rather sandy hair, which was
stolen by a Union soldier during the
last year of the war, somewhere in the
South. He brought her North to this
Stato, and his wife died, (lie not having
any children,) the little girl fell into
the bauds of another person, who
wishes iter proper parents to have her.
Now, this fellow says lie got her while
on picket in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Yet we are not inclined to believe him,
as lie tells different stories about it.
The impression is lie did not take the
child to relieve it from suffering, but
lie stole it from her parents, who, per-1
baps, think the child dead. Now, sir,
if you will give this a place in your
paper, it might be the means of re
lieving the hearts of some good and
affectionate parents. The child is here,
and don’t know her name in full—only
recollects that they called her Lucy
Ann.’ She says her pa went oil' with a
company of men who had guns. Her
111a was away from home with her, and
she was out playing, when this soldier
picked her up and brought tier off,
promising her to take her back. Y’ou
can take out of this letter such as will
embrace the facts in the ease auil pub
lish it, if you feel so disposed. I have
written to different papers of theSouth,
trusting they will also give this wide
circulation, and trusting your efforts
will be blessed. 1 am ever ready and
willing to answer all inquiries which
may lie made.
I am, respectfully,
T1IOS. M. COX.

Ciallant Charge of a Drunken
OUlcer—lie Demolishes a
. Man of Straw.
The capital of Mississippi, was on
Thursday evening the scene of a military
outrage—an outrage as brutal, wantou
and unprovoked as any we have recently
bad occasion to chronicle. The parties
to this outrago were Colonel Middle, the
deputy satrap commanding the post of
Jackson, and a drunken subordinate nam
ed Rodgers, a lieutenant of cavalry. The
circumstances of the latest diabolical out
rage, as we learn them from gentlemen
who were on the ground, were about as
follows :
The Democracy of Jackson—that is all
the decent people, white and black—deter
mined to have a great Seymour and Mlair
ratification meeting and torchlight proces
sion on Thursday night. Some of tho
young u»eu prepared an effigy of 0 cncral
u mill , ttVallWHlUIB 'V1J »• “v «/
nature, inasmuch as the ^reat butcher was
represented with a long cigar in his month,
and a bottle of whisky in his hand. Hear
ing of this caricature, that officious and
impertinent satrap, Colonel Biddle, wrote
a note to tho Hon. John D. Freemen,
forbidding the exhibition oftho caricature
referred to, because Grant is the General
in-Chief of the Army of the United States.
In deference to the wishes of thiesuperseni
tive shoulder strap wearer, the effigy was
changed to represent Beast Butler, and a
stolen spoon, instead of a cigar, was placed
in his mouth. While the procession was
passing, a drunken ruffian, Lieutenant
Kogers mado a gallant charge, with drawn
sabre, upou the harmless, effigy, and soon
brought it, maimed and mutilated to the
ground! In his desperate encounter with
a thing like himself—the mere effigy of a
mall—wo understand that this gallant
cavalry officer wounded one of his rela
tions, "by cutting off an ear from the mule
which bore tho offensive effigy. As the
demonstration was purely political and
peaceful—as every one was in good humor
_the gallant representative of the army
was the only person present who was arm
ed, a fact to which Lieut. Rogors owes his
escape with a sound skin.

The Fibst Cotton Bale.—We have
before us a sample of the-jrst bale of
cotton—crop of1868—which was grown
near Houston, Texas. Tho staple Is
long, silky and superior to any we have
seen lust year. Tho fortunate owner
of the snowy fleeces has sent them to
New York by express to obtain the
prize which is annually awarded for
(lie iii-st bale. There is no cause to
apprehend any injury by the worms in
this advanced’condition of the crop.—

Sfcjf-The Empress Carlotta has passed
into a stage of violent madness, her
fixed idea being that she is kept a pris
oner by her family, and that site must
escape and go to her husband at Mira
U»0lt.
<fcff*'l'hc Vicksburg Times says: “We
bear with unfeigned regret of the rav
ages of the army worm in various lo
calities. In Madison parish, Louisiana,
we are informed that myriads of those
busy destroyers are at work, while
from Jefferson and other counties in
this State we receive equally disheart
ening intelligence. The constant rain
we are having is very favorable to the
production of these pests, while it is
causiug tho cotton to shed both bolls
| «»d form very rapidly. The growth
of the plant is greatly increased, while
the crop of ft'Uit is being greatly di
minished. To inexperienced eyes the
crop never looked more luxuriant and
promising, while every hour Is diniin
j isliiug its productive qualities.”
General Humphreys, chief engineer
I of the United States army, has com
pleted a list giving the amounts to be
expended on the various rivers and
harbors, under the appropriation of
$1,500,000 passed by Congress, and this

Special Notieo.
We wish to call the attention of our readers
to the column advertisement headed “Purify
Your Blood,” to all the articles mentioned in
it. All those afflicted by disease, or who have
friends suffering from siekne;-*, should care
fully read, arid we know they will derive pro
fit from it. It gives us much pleasure to be
able in this manner to recommend to our peo
ple these remedies, as years of trial show
they fully deserve. Dr. Thos. A. Hurley’s
Sarsaparilla, the Great Blood ?uiifit*r, needs
only to he tried to be fully appreciated. His
Bitters, (Hurley’s,) are the best and purest
now offered for a/ilc* For debility and loss of
appetite no others ought to be used. Hurley's
Ague Tonic Is harmless in in effect and never
fails to cure if used by directions. Try it.
Also bis Worm Candy, (Hutley’s,) cannot be
equalled; any child will take it. So it is with
Dr. Seahrook’s Soothing Syrup, the best and
safest now offered, as no bad effects ever oc
cur from using it. Mothers try one bottle,
and in future you will get uo other. Also
Dr. Seabruok’s Elixir of Pyrophosphate of
iron and Calasaya; also Dr. Bettison’s Eng.
Horse Liniment, and James Huddle vSt Cos’

are unequalled; we cannot understand why

Having had indubitable evidence of its
prompt and certain effects from the testimo
ny of a multitude of respectable citizens,
among whom are classed some of our best
physicians, we do not hesitate to recommend
this Preparation in all cases of Fever and
Ague ami Chills and Fever: indeed, from the

it would not be too much for us to state that
when the directions are strictly complied
with, we warrant a cure in every case where

j the cheapest medicine in the world. There
fore. in truth, it may be declared the day is
I not far distant when it must be Appreciated
I and used iu every household where Fever and

The wonderful operation of ihe Texas Ton
ic Syrup in neutralizing the effects of mala
rious poison in the human system, can only
explain its extraordinary agency in the
speedy, thorough and permanent cure of
Chills and Fever or Fever and Ague, and all
t heir kindred diseases, in whatever form of
llilions Complaints they may make their ap

As its frame imports, it is a Tonic of rare
and medicinal virtues, composed of pure and
harmless ingredients, and are so united as to
form a compound alike skillful in art, beau
tiful in appearance, ami can be taken with
safety to tlie most delicate constitutions. It
is the result of a lifetime of experience and
practice in a Southern climate, and was ucv
er known to fail, even where all othc reme
dies had been tried in vain.
Those who are unacquainted with the ex

tion, manufactured from Roots ami Plants
indigenous to the soil of our “sunny South,”
(and hence adapted to the cure of Southern
climatic diseases) are respectfully referred
to the certificates of respectable citizens
whose names are embraced in a pamphlet
which accompanies each bottle: also the en

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Last February

got some of your Sarsaparilla and Cedron

My son-in-law who was with me in the

some time, commenced on the Bitters, and

Dr. Gist, who has been in bad health, tried
them, and he also improved.

improved very much by the use of your Bit

To my United Slates and World

I liavo received many testimonials from
professional and medical men, as my alma
nacs and various publications have shown,
all of which are genuine. The following let
j ter from a highly educated and popular phy
| sician in Georgia, is certainly one of the most
sensible communications I have ever received.
Dr. Clement knows exactly what he speaks
of, and his testimony deserves to be written

Villanow, Walker Countt, Ga., \

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: I have recent
ly given your “Worm Destroyer” several
trials, and find it wonderfully efficacious. It
has not failed in a single instance to have the
wished for effect. Iam doing a pretty large
country practice, and ha,vc daily use for some
article of the kind. I am free to confess that
ablest authors that is so certain and speedy
in its effects. On the contrary they are un
eerteain in the extreme. My object in writ
ing you is to find upon what terms I can get
the medicine directly from you. If l can get
it upon easy terms, l shall use a great deal of
it. I am aw’arc that the use of such articles
is contrary to the teachings and practice of a
great majority of the regular line of M. D.’s,
but 1 see no just cause or good sense in dis
carding a remedy which we know to be effi
cient, simply because we may bo ignorant of
its combination. For my part, I shall make
it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate
suifering humanity which I may be able to
command—not hesitating because some one
more ingenious than myself may have learned
its effects first, and secured the sole right to
secure that knowledge. However, I am by
no means an advocate or supporter of the
thousands of worthless nostrums that flood
the country, that purport to cure all manucr
of disease to which human flesh is heir.
Please reply soon, and inform me of your
best terms. I am, sir, most respectfully,

At thirteen years of age he had a chronic di
arrliea and scrotum, tor wmcn 1 gave mm
your Sarsaparilla. It Cured Him. I have
for ten years recommended it to many in
New York. Ohio, and Iowa, for scrofula, fe
ver sores, and general debility. Perfect suc
cess has attended it. The. curs effected in
some cases of scrofula and fever sores were almost
miraculous. I am very anxious for my sou
to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla.
He is fearful of getting a spurious article,
henec his writing to you for it. His wounds
were terrible, but l believe he will recover.

FOR THE CURE OF
JLGT7E AND FEVER
OK
CHILLS & FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
justly claims for it a superiority over all
remedies ever offered to the public for the
safe, certain, speedy, and permanent cure of
Ague ami Fever, or Chills aud Fever, whether
of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and South-western country
to bear him testimony to tho truth of the as
sertion, that in no case whatever will it fail
to cure, if the directions are striotly followed
and carried out. In a great many cases a
single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a single
bottle, With a perfect restoration of tho gen
eral health. It is, however, prudent, and in
every ease more certain to cure, if its use is
continued in smaller doses for a week or two
after the disease has been checked, more es
pecially in difficult and long-standing cases.
Usually, this medicine will not require any
aid to keep the bowels in good order; should
the patient, however, require a cathartic
medicine, after having taken three or four
doses of tho Tonic, a single dose of BULL’S
VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will bo suffi
cient.

OF all the remedies that have been discov

ills that fesh !s heir to,” none equal this won

the most surprising and effective remedy for
certain diseases of which they have knowl
edge.
All other Compounds or Syrups of this root
have hitherto failed to command tho sanction
of the Faculty, because, on being tested, they
have been found to contain noxious ingredi
ents, which neutralise the good effects of the
Sarsaparilla, and oftentimes injure the health
of the patient. It is not so with Hurley’s
preparation.
This is the pure and genuine extract of the
root and will, on trial, be found to effect a
certain and perfect cure of the following com
plaints and diseases:
