Fires, Damages and Dastardly Deeds in Plenty. Meridian, Miss., November 10.???In regard to tlm Marion troubles, no new developments have been made since Tuesday niglit, except tiic arrest of one negro. After a lapse of two days, und conversations with forty or fifty different participants, a recapitulation of the ???whole affair is as follows: On Tuesday last ???while the state election was progressing at Marion, in this county, Joseph Barrett, an aged white man, having just voted, was insulted by a negro at the polls. Barret* raised his arm to resent it with a blow. Some say he drew a stick on the negro. Before he could strike another :i negro named Frank Johnson- shot him with a pistol in the neck, cutting the jugular vein and killing him almost instantly. George Johnson, colored, formerly a slave of Barrett, ran up to defend his old master and was shot by a negro, from the effect of which he died to-day, and a general shooting among the ne groes then commenced. The whites were all unarmed. Jeff Sugars, white, was killed by a negro named Samuel Gillespie. Alex Har vey. democratic candidate for county assessor, liftv yards from the scene, was rushed on by tin- negroes ami killed by a shot through the head. He was shot inthe face by Frank Johnson Henry K. Jackson, of Savannah, president of the nftet he was dead. James Hodges, white, was Gcorgiajvelemns??? association. Oeneruls Sherman, wounded seriously in the knee; Levi Moore, | Longstreet, Beauregard, Early, Joe Johnston, it may lie said without disparagement, have been generally ignorant of a majority of the machines and processes through whose agencies their daily needs have been supplied. To come now to this exposition, to witness what may there be seen and to appreciate the vast re sources which arc provided through the in vented mechanisms of the world is like open ing to them a new liook of revelations. The exposition is more of a school than a specta cle. Every exhibitor in his space is lectur ing daily upon the means of material and in dustrial progress to a vast, willing and re- sponsive audience. It will not matter to the public at large whether this venture is a financial success or not; it will still go into the records of the country as one of the very grandest successes of the century in the ambitions it will stimulate, in the advance ments it will encourage, and in the aciiieve- pients in the world of progress that will date their birth from the holding of this exposi tion. Because of these things it is gratifying to note the recognition which is being given to the exposition on every hand. The railroads are doing nobly, and the announcement:} they are making of excursions at nominal rates will be welcome to the people. Mc-xL-an Veterans??? Day???Okio Day. The annual meeting of the Mexican veterans as sociation will he held at Judges??? hall, on the expo sition grounds, Tuesday next, the 15th inst., at o'clock. An oration will be delivered by General white, tvas wounded in tin; hand, and Vince ficg.tr> was wounded and is expected to die. The negroes doing tlieshooting were Gillespie, Frank Johnson, Alien and Burwell Brown, and Martin Malone. Marion was not tiieir | voting place. They were from another pre cinct.

The proposed show has the support of some of the most prominent citizens of Atlanta, and it is be lieved that enough money will be promptly sub scribed to-day to insure the complete success of the show and pay out a liberal premium list. The date suggested for the holding of the show is the 13th of December, to continue one week; en tries to dose on the 5th of December. M - Lincoln estimates that we should have least 200 entries of fine blooded dogs in this show, and possibly he may be able to make the number up to 300. There are many very- fine dogs of all breeds in this city and section, ana it is the object of the show to collect these In a con gress, ssi that theirpoinis may be studied, compared and understood. The show will take place In the Judges??? hall, on the exposition grounds. Exposition Ac to. We saw In the cotton exchange exposition, in the Texas department, Mr. J. W.

The negroes had nil left. A party of twenty men went to the house of Ed Vance, white, rcpuhlienn, and approach ing him with warrants of arrest, demanded his surrender, ami were replied to by Vance, telling them to go to hell. They were then lired on and repulsed. Bv 5 o'clock in the afternoon re lief came ami the sheriff' with iiis men sur rounded the house. The sheriff - called out to those inside to surrender.

New Orleans Democrat. The newspapers of the country have been very brief and meager in their notices of the death of the Hon. John A. Cuthbert, which occurred at his home on Mon Louis island, near Mobile, on the night of thc 22d of Sep tember. et it was one of the most notable events in the necrology even of this present year, which has been marked by the death of go many eminent and remarkable men. It was the end of a life distinguished, not only for its great length, hut for its association with some of the most memorable passages in American history. Judge Cuthbert was 93 years old. He was born in Savannah, the year before the consti tution of the United States went into opera tion. The old articles of confederation were then in force. All the settled parts of the country now constituting the states of Florb da, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tex as, were tlicn Spanish territory. It was be fore the outbreak of the first French revolu tion. Napoleon Bonaparte was an obscure lieutenant of artillery, and 'Walter Scott an ap prentice in his father's office. Edmund Burke and Benjamin Franklin were still living George Canning and Henry Brougham were college students, Calhoun and Webster were little children, and Henry Clay was riding astride of his meal-bag in tiie Hanover slashes. lie was born in the same year with Byron and I???eel. He was nearly twenty years in advance of Bulwer and Beaconsfield and Bobert E. Lee, just twenty years senior to Jefferson Davis, and still more to Lincoln and Gladstone. He was a member of congress (in his second session) when John C. Breck- enridge was born, and was a man of middle age at the birth of Garfield. Other men may be living as old, or older, but none arc left, of like age. who had been so conspicuous as actors in great historical events. Judge Cuthbert sat in the house of representatives, as a member from Georgia, more than sixty years ago. He was, from 1819 to 1821, the memorable period when THE MISSOURI QUESTION was agitated???that question which shook the federal union to its foundations and foreshad owed the conflict that culminated in war more than forty ytiars afterwards???and took part in its discussion. In that congress lie was the contemporary and associate of Clay, and Ma con, ana Lowndes, and ffuudolphof Boanoke, and Bufus King of New York, and William Rufus King of Alabama, and William Pink ney of Maryland, and Charles Pinkney of South Carolina (olie of the authors of the con stitution) and tiie Barbours of Virginia, and a host of others (both in the senate and the house) eminent even in the days when there were statesmen in the land. Some years afterwards he was a competitor of the celebrated John Forsyth, before the Georgia legislature, for election to the United States senate. ??? The vote was a tie on repeated ballots, and he was defeated only after the contest had been continued into the second day. He removed to Mobile when nearly fifty years of age, served two terms as judge, first XiOPISIABTA, CHEAP HOMES fOS ALL! 50,000 liaborers cart {jet Immediate Xk-Aployjaeat.cvfc Good ???W&fi02 : on rams wnl lLailron.vu> in Tains alone.

Lowndes, a democrat, xv'no had the reputation of ! being the wisest und best statesmrn in Con gress. I bore a part in a prolonged discussion to which it gave rise in congress. Before the time of voting I knew, by name and personally, every noithcrn member who was ex pected by thc democratic members to vote for the compromise. Among these were Meigs, a represen tative from New York, brother-in-law to the elder John Forsyth, and Ntorrs, also a representative from New York, a respectable man and a democrat of high talent. There was a young member from Illi nois whom I knew well, who told me repeatedly that he would vote for the compromise, and who felt a fear that he would lose popularity in Illinois by such a vote. They made a short test. I knew that a large majority of northern members voted against the compromise. I know uothng of the record to which you refer. To contradict u record by unwritten recollections is contrary to the established rules of evidence. False eptries may be made in records,. I know that my recollections, as herein stated, are correct and certain declarations of truth. Southern members, in voting for this settlement, knew that they were making a concession. But northern men were making a larger concession in agreeing lo admit the southern part of Mis souri * into the union without restriction as to slavery. Here was another slaveholdiug state in the union. This was regarded by southern men as a great victory achieved by the south. The exclusion of slavery from north Missouri was agreeable to the sentiment of the people on whom it was to operate; it was therefore no grivance to us. All mv recollections harmonize with the belief that the Missouri compromise originated with southern men, and that it was carried into opera tion by southern men. I cau explain in general terms the course ot Mr. Randolph in relation to the Missouri question. He was anxious to maintain the comparative superi ority of Virgiuia (the ancient dominion) in the union. He was opposed to admitting into the union another state west of the Mississippi. As the em pire extended westward, Virginia lost comparative importance. He was opposed to the admission of Missouri. But as the people of Virginia were zea'.| ous for the admission oi Missouri, he _woulu not oppose it openly, but he would covertly prevent her admission. This was developed in proceedings in which Mr. Monroe was thc second time declared president. The vote of Missouri for president had been given, but there was some ground for doubt whether Missouri had a right to vote. It wasagreed in the senate that its presidentshouldanuouuce the result in this way: ???If the vote of Missouri be counted, Mr. Monroe has 231 votes, which is a m a jorityof the votes; and he is elected president of the United States. If the vote of Missouri be no- counted, Mr. Monroe has 228 votes, which is a ma jority of the votes, and he is elected president of the United States.??? The senate had been received into the hall of representatives, und the president began to make the proclamation agreed upon, when he was inter rupted by Mr. Randolph, who made u motion to amend the proclamation, and began an argument in support of his motion. A cry of ???Order! Order!??? was made from all parts of the hall. Mr. Randolph ceased speaking, but retained his place on the door. As soon as silence was restored, Mr. Ran dolph again attempted to address tiie presiding officers, when the cry of ???Order!??? was again raised by a greater number of voices and in a more imper ative tone. Mr. Randolph yielded, and withdrew, uttering abusive language in a passionate tone. The president of the senate then made the procla mation that had been agreed on. With high regard, John A. Cuthbert. This letter gives no evidence of the great age of its author, either in handwriting or style???unless it be in some superfluous verbal repetitions. Whether from this cause, how ever, or some other, it is certain that his rec ollections were at fault on the main subject to which they refer. He makes the common er ror of confounding the two distinct and sepa rate questions which constituted the ???com promise.??? One of these was that of the admission of Missouri with a constitution containing no prohibition of slavery???. On this the south was absolutely unanimous, no southern member voting againt it in either house, while the northern members were nearly as unanimous in opposition to it. The other measure, which was really and properly the ???compromise,??? consisted of the adoption of an arbitrary line of demarcation for all future states to be formed out of what was then the Missouri territory???those north of that line to be required to prohibit slavery, while those south of it it might exercise their own opinion. On this question the northern vote was nearly unanimous in its favor in both houses; tiie southern vote divided, but a majority in each house in the negative. Judge Cuthbert, also, seems to confound the proposed extension of Mason and DiYon???s line with the line ultimately adopted, more than than three degrees farther south. South ern members gmight very naturally favor the one, but oppose the other. His re marks with regard to tiie discrepancy between his recollections and the records (that is the journals of congress, which had been referred to.) are characteristic of thc tenacity of pur pose and of opinion for which lie was some what noted. Writing sixty years after the events referred to, and having himself, al though of thc southern school in politics,been a warm advocate of the compromise,these mis takes were not unnatural. With regard to the action of Mr. Randolph, (of Roanoake), Judge Cuthbert???s explanation is as satisfactory and liis recollections no doubt as correct, as they are interesting. Indeed, the whole letter is highly interesting, not only on account of its writer and its subject, but because it is, undoubtedly, the latest account of the events that lias been, or ever will be, given by any of the actors in that great and memorable contest.

The Consolidated mining eempany now appear to be taking the lead in the yield of their mine. Within six months they have declared a dividend of $4,000 tier month,aggregating^ 4,000,and it is said they are keeping iu reserve a sinking fund with which to bring in a supply of water for milling and mining pin poses. Tmscompany owns two minesand mills. The Bust mine, which adjoins the Findley on thc west, and on which they have a twenty-stamp mill, is a good mine, and helps to swell the sum divided monthly. Thcothermincowned by the Con solidated is the Ivy, a mine on the Pigeon Roost belt, and one that has iongbeen well and favorably known for its wealth of gold. But no systematic mode of mining it was ever tried until within the last year, alter it came into possession of the present company; und it has shown by the monthly turn out just what it is, and what a mine can do here when it is opened out and worked as a mine should be. The Singleton company is building a new mill and hoisting works on their property, all of which will soon be In operation. The lax-khardt, on the same property, continues to do as well ns it has ever since work began on the present open cut; and the F'indley people taking the cue from the cut below arc now opening into tiie Lockhividt level on their property adjoining, and no doubt the same good results will be obtained. The Findley has had to go slow during the dry weather, lieing able during the greater part of Uie season to run on only half time or less. work on the Calhoun, an old mine under a new company, is progressing well under the superin tending of Captain A. J. Reese, who is now em ployed in building a dam across 1 the Chestatee with which to run a forty-stamp mill, and also lo force water on the hill above for mining purposes. Developments of this character will naturally lie slow at tliis season of tiie year, so that it will be some months before mining will begin actively on the Calhoun. The Columbia mining company owns three lots south of the Findley mine. This i.s a recent pur chase und ail entirely new organization for mining purposes. The principal officers of the company were here last week looking over tli is nroperiy and contracting for further improvements. This is a new and un worked property, and it remains to be seen what it will do, i>ut so far the developments on the mine show up well and give great encouragement to the owners of a profitable future if it is only well man aged.
