Tjiph it was when any of our best citi zens could be, by trumped-up ne- grd evidence, arrested, ill-treated, and caused trouble and often finan cial loss, if they were not actuljy imprisoned. Nnnieroufe Were tlie instances, and long will they be remembered. . , ,. ri'' inthe qdi4f oid town of P— in Houston county, lived at that time.a widow lady, Mrs. P , with several children. Her oldest son had served throiigh the four years’ struggle with credit to him self and the cause in, which he had enlisted, and v?ap at home seeking meads by which he might earn an honarable iivingj ahd assist his mother in the maintenance of the yoringer ones of the. fahiily. At this time the federal garrison con sisted of.a detachment of the th Ohio cavalrjq under command of Lieutenant Hallj an officer yoiiiig in years, but old iii tyranny, and overbearing in the'ekercisU of Bis power. Negroes flocked to him with all sorts <Sf iiuheard-of out- ragesj (inti arrests and indignities speedily followed. , Through malice or some qfher motive, a report had been hatched up, against y(ju0g B , ..and speedily carried to headquarters; and one night soon after al t . mid night, a squad of federal soldiers • visited the vyidqw’s home for the purpose of making the arrhstv The first words that greeted per Upon per appearance at the front door, were from tlie sergeant in com- : rnsind:. | . . ; ; “Madam, i§ your scin, ,S—*—, ’at home?” : r ..

Du ring the'’ noise^. consequent upon •the search, the cook,, a\.n<?gro an upper room and awakened' an other son, a lad just twelve years old, and to him she hurriedly told the preceding incidents of the night, informed him that he must go to a neighbor’s, get ’his horse and go to the mill and warn his brother of his danger. . The lad dressed himself wRh ah much haste and ab little noise as possible, and his mother fearing that I .some of the soldiers might be lurking near, bade him go out a window on to a shed and down a column of the ing yonr brother. The lad seeing, that he had been recognized, at once sought his un- clq„ and gave him the officer’s mes sage, The miller in , accordance entered the house, whera : he was soon followed by the officer, who approached him with this explana tion: , “Mr. G—-, I trust you will be lieve me when I tell you that this is a very distasteful business to me. t am acquainted with the , young man I am sent to arrest,and back piazza to the ground, and j esteem hi nd b esides , that, I yt’k. The lad ,.. T. . c - A V: , • thence to th.e neighbor’0. . .The lad obeyed his insbenefjohs, but Mrs. B—— hpJ reckoned without her host in thinking the soldiers had all gone, for after the boy had reached) the gi’ound, and just as he emerged from the shadow of a large mulberry tree, a guard who had been stationed at a corner of the house, spied him, and thinking that young B had been ..suc cessfully hidden and was about to escape, challenged Mm to halt. Fear lent speed to the boy’s , feet, and he was over the yard fence and away before the sharp bang! bang! bang! of the guard’s carbine reach-- ed the ears of the startled mother. Rushing out, she met the guard who .was returning from a fruitless ph&ee of a hundred yards, and soon learned from him that the plucky little fellow had not been harmed. It did not take the fleeing lad many minutes to reach the neigh bor’s lot, where, knowing well .the surroundings, it did not take him long to bridle a horse, and mount ing barebacked, without even awakening the owner, he was away by the time the guard’s , gun bad aroused the camp farther up town, whither he had gone as soon as he was assured that the lad was safely off. Now, the little fellow in his haste, had forgotten that the near est street leading into the road to tlie mill, led by the encampment, and as he passed, he could hear hur ried preparations for pursuit, but his horse was swift, and though, as he afterwards .learned, he was followed more than a mile, the pur suit was abandoned. His rapid gait soon carried him to the home of the miller, where his message of warning was-delivered. It is needless to state that the miller’s fdniily was soon aroused, and plans of Action discussed. That day, which was then just break! qg/waS to he enjoyed in a pic nic and fish-fry by the returned confederate soldier boys and their sweethearts', and ij was for this purpose that young B- had gone out. Should he fly, and leave the smiles of beauty?—he who had charged to the ..cannon’s mouth—from fear of arrest on a paltry charge? He would not. He determined to await developments. His mother’s surmises as to the probable action, of tlie cook had been correct, and almost by the time the picnicers had begun to ar rive, two “blue coats,” mounted and j armed, were seen wending •their way down the hill to the mill. In the meantime, however, friends and cooler heads; had, surrounded young B , and persuaded niffi that “discretion was the better part of valor,” and he had retired to a convenient canebrake, •..The two soldiers came on to the mill, and seeking out . the miUer, made their errand known. Being told that the ydung‘ man was not there, the one who seemed to be the superior in command, said: “Well, sir, you Will parflon us, but under orders we wflj .be fc4 com- geflpd toVehrch yonr preinises and sarrorindiDgs.” !

My com panion oiit there does not share in' these sentiments, gnd as Lieuten ant Hall seems determined that B— shall be punished, whether guilty or not, I determined to take the risk of offering to kelp you.” Lowering his voice almost to a whisper, he continued: “While the other, fellow outside theris would not scruple to make the arrest - at all hazards, he is.,-very susceptible to the-influence of intoxicants, and if you will trust me, and can fur nish the means, we will soon have him where he will not be, likely to cause an interruption for several hqprs.” • , , Mr. G.— was’veryjfavorably im pressed with the straightforward manner in, whiqh .the officer had made his statement, - and frankly told him so. However, he had some fears,-and was too wary to be caught in any trap, and while not refusing the H prqffered assistance, he found meAAe for excusing him self for a few minutes, and sent a friend to commnnicaie with young B and see if he would consent to leavq home for a short while, and if he thought it wise to trust the officer. As soon as the messen ger returned, Mr. G sought the officer and told him that they trusted him fully, and would be glad of his assistance in getting his nephew out of the way of harm. . , The ididierg at Once commenced the semblance of a search, which in course of a short while, led them up to the millesr’s residence, where he soon put , in 7 an appearance to conduct theib. over the premises, After some time spent in searching the barn and stable and other out- housesj they returned to the house, and aftqr vainly searching through it, the officer told his companion that .they had, best return to camps, as they were nob likely to, find the ydhng man. As they ivere prepar ing to depart, however; he asked Mr. G—— iff .he had aDy whisky or brandy, and if lie would let them have a small quantity. The miller at once brought out his dem.- ijohn of peach braiidv and gave them a liberal drink. After this if was plain ..sailing. [The.officer drank sparingly, but his compan ion needed no urging to cause him to imbibe heavily every time it whs offered, and in a couple of hours he had been carried to a conven ient piece of woods, and there left to sleep off his, drunken stupor.

As it is, the whole crop.is rushed on}the market about the first of November, and of /course the got ten speculators and money sharks are prepared for it and shape the market‘accordingly. Let the farm ers who are’compelled to trade on credit arrange to pay at the close of the year. We have'a monopoly of the cotton supply of the world; we intend to make our own bag ging and ties, $nd, accepting the lessons so persistently practiced and forced upon us by other inter ests, let ns take charge of )this crop and make the most of it.
