ALL ABOUT A COW.
Tkree Nc|N«« Killed rad Another
Badly Wounded—Some Good
Skootlns.
We beer a rumor which if true is ooo
of the most remarkable cases of precise
•hootipg that we hare heard of for some
Bihe. There is a oertaio class of colored
troops whose great idea of freedom has
always been an uubridled license to steal
and especially to forage on tbo whites. A
crowd of this character, consisting of four
negroes, were oaught skinniug a cow in
the woods near Warm Springs, in Meri
wether county, last week, by the owner,
when he began to upbraid them pretty
4ty*rply for their conduct, when one of
the negroes sought to put sn end to “that
white man's sans, ” and his disregard of
the oivil rights bill, by pulling down on
him with a shot gun, but fortunately the
thing snapped. The white man there
upon drew his repeater aud shot the ne
gro dead, when his companions sought to
avenge hie death, and commenced tuakiog
a vigorous warfare upon him with the
gun and their knives. The white man
seeing the situation determined to make
the best of it possible, and used his re
volver freely, killing two more negroes
and wounding the remaining one pretty
severely. We do not vouch for the cor
rectness of this report, but if it is true he
pnt in his shots “where they did the most
goo4»” *ad did exactly right.
Since'the above was written we have
received the Greenville Vindicator, which
gives substantially the same rumor, ex
cept that the shooting took place in Har
ris county, not fur from the Meriwether
line, and near the Warm Springs.—Grif
fin News, 1*1 at.
The Situation at Vlckaburff.
Speelal to the New Orleans Times.]
Vicxsbuho, July 20.—The present ex
citement bus been produced by the alleged
prep irutions ou the part of the negroes
to assume a violent attitude toward the
whites in the coming eleotion, and an
apprehended conflict between the races
on political questions.
Military organizations have been ac
tively progressing among the negroes
niat’e early Inst spring, but it was attrib
uted to ihoir love of display aud no par
ticular attention was given it until within
thie l ist week. About the 10th iust. the
negroes placed piokets, armed with Uni
ted States noodle guns, upon the outskirts
of the city, stopping carriages and wag
ons. This outrage forced the whites to a
defensive o ganization which had the
effect of cooling the ardor of the negroes.
Shoald they consent to a fair eleotion no
trouble is apprehended.
Sly rou*M Mother.
If Byron’s ancestry was a dark one on
his father’s tide, it was an evil one on his
mother’s, who was an incarnation of all
unreason. She was ignorant, she was
silly, she was passionate; iu her rages she
was uncontrollable, bhe would indulge
him to excess one day, and tbo next he
was “a lame brat.” When they were on
good terms he would call her “Kitty Gor
don,”, and when they were in th$ir theat
rical rages lie would throw open the door
of the drawing room and say, “Enter the
Honorable Kilty.” She was fond of biui,
in her wild, foolish way, and was goner-
ally at war with his guardian and bis
teacher, lie was allowed, while at school,
to spend Sunday with her ; but that did
not satisfy her, for she frequently kept
him a week, and would not send him back.
Wheu h s teacher refused to let him visit
her she .vent to the eohool and abused
; Iii iu «.»loudly that tho scholars and the
servants could not help hearing her.
“Byron, your mother is a fool,” said one
of his schoolmates. “I know it,"
answered, gloomily.
Whether Byron loved his mother may
be doubted, but it is certain that be treat-
‘ her with respect and deference. He
repaired Newstead Abbey and placed her
'n it wheu he went abroad, and he fre
quently wrote to her, addressing her as
the Honorable Mrs. Byron, a title to
which ahe had no claim. She was proud
f his genius, and read with eagerness all
that she saw about him in print. When
he returned to England after his two
years* travel she was anxious to see him.
lie wrote from hia hotel iu London that
he would soon tea her, aud in the post
script of his note said: “You will con
sider Newstead as your house, and not
iue, ond me ouly as a visitor.”
Superstitious at all times, she remarked
o her waiting-woman when she read the
): “If I should be dead before Byron
es down what a strange thing it would
’ The strange thing oatne to puss, and
brought about by a flt of rago into
which she was thrown by reading over
her Upholsterer’s bills. Byron received
notioe of her illness, and started instantly
to her, but arrived too late. She had
breathed her last.
“My poor mother died yesterday,” he
wrote to his Figot, “sod I am on
y way fro u town to attend her to the
ily vanlt. I hoard one day of her ill.
i, the next of her death. Thank God,
last moments were most tranquil,
told she was in little pain, and not

h of Mr. Gray's observation—that ‘wo

Byron was deeply touched by his moth
death, and the night after he reached
wsfead, wa* heard by her waitiug-wo-
~ sighing heavily in the room where
body lay. She entered, aud found
sitting iu the dark beside the bed.
i n she expostulated with him on tho
ness of giving way to grief, he burst
tears, and exclaimed: “Oh! Mrs.
I had but one friend in the world,and
is gone!’’ Ou the morning of the
al ho would not follow the body to
grave, but stood looking from the Ab-
bej door until the procession had moved
of. Then ho turned to bis man, Hushto .
who was the ouly person remaining, and^
Sfking him to fetch the sparring-gioveR,
'■*' ■ hr proceeded to take his usual e xercise
with him. Silent and abstracted, he
threw more violence into his blows than
was his habit, as if to get the better of his
feelings. At last the struggle was too
r much for him : ho flung away the ol«ve«,
and rotired to hisowu room.—liicha. d
