Dying ok Dignity. —Humanity lores tindery, autl can enjoy it even in the throes of dissolution \Yc have heard of curious causes of death. Death has been attribu ted to over-catiug. and to starvation. Some have, it is soberly said, worked themselves to death, and others w ould die, but for laziness. Churches aud corporations are said to be dyingfwlicn they do not meet their obligation and lose the faith of the public. AJeorrosi>oinient of some newspaper lias been leeling the pulse ol the Episcopal Church, and pronounces her case a .-a.I one indeed. Her disease is dignity, aud die is said to bo dying. Here are his words •■if Protestant Episcopal decisions are I worth anything iu private circles, the Pro | teataut Episcopal Church must be in a bail condition- In conversation with Bishop 1 something 1 would not want nnvbodv else to say. and that is. that for the" last' fifty years the Protestant Episcopal Church has been dying of dignity and episcopal * u thority. It is said that Teuuysou, the poet, is one of the greatest (voluminous!!) writers of th is or of any other age. It is also assert e(l by those who read for quotations, Hist he bus enriched literature withs larger number of nite, sweat, poetic* household sayings than tiny other living writer. If all this bo so, then it is well to ascertain the deep, unfailing fountain ol the Lau reates inspiration, for lie is very little in debted to books.

The influence of books —many books, is a question tlmt is now being considered. In a iccciit lecture, Mr. James T. Helds expresses the opinion Hint with fewer books there would be more culture. 'I his is doubtless true The highly cultivated man is not the mere book worm, hut usu ally the man of few books. Our greatest minds are great, not in what they huve mastered of others’ discoveries, and princi ples, but in what they have evolved front their own thoughts and the study of them selves.

Osceola, Oct. "7, 1872 Deputy Marshal Richards has obtained sufficient evidence to induce him to arrest certain persons suspected of the murder of the two negroes. Washington ami Elijah. One William AleKiuuey is already under arrest. The murdered negroes were sent towards Osceola, in custody, in company with a party of men who had been re claiming some cattle belonging to a Mr. Miller, of New Orleans, and which this party were driving toward the north part ot the county. Some of the party came on iu advance to Osceola, and the test continued with the cattle. McKinney says he can prove himself innocent of llie charge. The evidence taken by Mr. Richards consists largely of affidavits of colored men to threatening and imtetn perato language used by white men, which these affidavits say were calculated to in timidate colored men from becoming reg istered. lam of opinion that if the miss ing registry books could lie found they would show the name of most of these very affiants. Mr. Richards pretends to have evidence that the first paddle of anued meu washy whites, especially on Court week, in the face of Fitzpatrick's statement that twenty five armed negroes came into town on Monday ef that week, while there is no pretence that any aimed w hite men appealed until the next day. It appears that the armed white men w ho acted the part of posse under Sheriff llaz zard and his Deputy took upon them selves the name and semblance of a couu ty militia, and that they gave to those ne groes whom they did not arrest as ri oters safe iTMiduels am! passes to return home, of which the following are SPECIMENS OK PASSES i! vt'o'ns or tiik t. sx'ekai Commanding , Militia, Mississippi Copstt, - Osceola.

Pittman. l’ass him. Ry order, J. F. Davies, Colonel Commanding. JJ, B. Best, Adjutant. This William Washington is the father of the murdered man. This Mr. Richards construes as a violation of the Enforce ment Act, although some of the best white Republican citizens of the county tell me they have assured Mr. Richards that this armed body acted purely in self-detencc and as conservators of tbe peace under the mandate of the Budge of the Circuit Court, and that no act of lawless violence Ims been traced to them, and this is the unan imous expression of all Hie white men I have met within the past four days. The cattle party was distinct affair. They simply availed themselves of the oppor tunity to recover their stock. Mr. Rich ards complains that A BODY OP ARMED WHITE MEN crossed into the county from Missouri. This is true ; they came after the tight was over to aid the white citizens to resist a threatened uttack by Sheriff Hardin, of Crittenden county, at the head of its mill tin; but as no such attack was made, neither did these men from Missouri take any active part in the troubles iu this county. Rut au armed body of some twenty-five negroes crossed the river from Tennessee and acted with Fitzpatrick’s band. An old citizen, James Oliver, has just been arrested, the substance of whose offence is having declurcd that he had never obeyed a negro officer and, by G—d! lie never would, with the usual clause concerning intimidation. The officers are out making other ar rests, and these arrests w ill he quite nu merous from present appearances. Those arrested will ho taken to Helena, two huu died miles below here, for preliminary examination The business of registra tion is progressing, and from present ap pearances this county will give a republi can majority, for very obvious reasons. The utmost harmony prevails between white republicans aud former democrats, and no real distinction scents to exist ex cept that between what is here called the "Caucasian" and the negro party. Neither docs there appear to be any feeling of ani mosily between these, except that directly connected with THAT PI REBRAND FITZPATRICK. Some think him a little insane ; but if so, there is method iu his madness. When it became necessary for him to employ a lawyer to defend him from the cliurge of of murder, he, through Hicks’ League, levied a per capita tax in cotton on all the negroes in the county, and with this paid his lawyer's fee. Au inadvertent interlineation in my last made me speak of Justice Blackwood as colored. He is a white man iu every sense, is one of the Commissioners of Registration, and is the United States Commissioner before wiiorn llie affidavits prepared by Deputy Ma'shal Richards are sworn to. Marshal Richards concludes that the killing of Sheriff Murray by Fitzpatrick was done iu self-defence, and that the killing of the negro in the north paid of the county by Dr. l’uluier, meutioued iu my last, was a cold-blooded murder. Dr. Fulmer, after killing the negro, promptly surrendered himself to Sheriff Ilazzard, who is a Republ'can, aud who declined to take him into custody, saying that, having been assured that the killing was justili ublc, he only required Dr. Fulmer’s prom ise to appear when wanted. Richards as sures me that much of the information which is furnished him by negroes is un reliable ; that lie reduces their oral state ments lo writing, und when they come to swear to them the matter often turns out to be merely hearsay'. This afternoon, while a crowd of citizens were waiting at the Court-house to he registered, word came that the MAUSIIALB WERE OUT MAKING ARRESTS, when numbers mounted their horses and left for home w ithout waiting to he regis tered. To night, the marshals who went north to arrest Hie men of the cattle party suspected of killing the two negroes re turned without their men. It is thought probible that aftey the cattle party sepa rated below town the negroes attempted to make off with the cattle, and that this led to their being shot. Justice llicks calls liis colored league a "benevolent society ” Judge Moore, who is an er officio Superintendent of the Coun ty Poor, tells me that on a recent visit to Hicks’ neighborhood, he was applied to iu behalf of two or three old and indigent negro men. and he mentioned their cases to llicks as proper objects for relief by his society. Hicks’ answer was worthy of Aminidab Sleek "No, sail: ilat’s a county matter, eer timiy. l)is sietv’s got nuflln to do wid dat sort o’ cases.” EXAMINING TUB HOOKS. I have inspected the official record of the last annual settlement of the Sheriff, Clerk and Assessor of this county, for the year ending with May hist, and find that none are in default. There is a sum of about sixteeu hundred dollars held iu abey ance under an iujuction sued out by the taxpayers, as being part of an excessive levy imposed by the State Hoard of Equal ization. but this money is on deposit in bank, awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court, aud the sureties on the injunction bond are good for a much larger sum. The presiding judge of the County Court pronounces this to be the best financial settlement the county has had for years. The withholding from assessment of lauds subscribed to railroads is subject by law to the control of the State Auditor, and the county officials have no discretion in the matter. From these and other facts it is apparent that the accusations made by Fitzpatrick against these officials were | mainly unfounded All the recent troubles in Mississippi county arc traceable to Fitzpatrick and ! the black Justice Hicks, with his colored League. Mr Richards tells me he lias ! warned Fitzpatrick to keep away from the county, and It* he does so 1 am satisfied ! that tranquility will soon be restored in | this community. Whether he will return i to Osceola remains to be seen. In the j presence of your correspondent he dc- ! dared, at the Overton Hotel, in Memphis, j a few days ago. that he would return aud ••raise hell." JUST RECEIVED.
