Madison Parish, La., August 10, 18U0.
Having just travolcd over several conn.
tics of Mississippi and tho river parishes
of Louisiana, it would, I thought, not bo
uninteresting to many of your readers to
hear something of tho eottou and corn
crops in this section. In travelling
through tho counties along tho Yazoo And
Tathtbutchio rivers. I found tha cottnn
generally small nnd suffering much from
drought, having had no rain in tbo past
m wuuks. j imi, witti mo uniavoraulo
spring and difficulty in getting 'negroes
early enough (owing to tho expectation
of tho division of lands,) will servo to
shorten tho orop at least one half in those
counties.
In' Madison' parish, Louisiana, after
contending with a wet and backward
spring, the loss of one, half vho muloa in
tho Parish by disease,' and a slimmer of

unprecedented drought, the peoplo had

petrated. It is believed that tho wiitJjs
cs who deposed this testimony, Wuro the
accomplices of Ucrry. Upon this cvl-
tiencD both parties wcro releasod.
Who n tbe trial was concludod, McKtn
noy and his frionds left Cotton l'laot for
their homes somo in wagons, nnd, some
on horseback. About Gve miles north of
Cotton Plant, tho Stracencr and Borrv
party overtook them. One Kh Stairm.
a brothor-in-law to Ucrry, and a witness
lor him, rodo up to McKimicy and com
menced abusing him, ami finally chal
lenged him to u pistol eoinli.it, or duel,
on tho ground, McKinncv readily ac
cepted ; ami, leaping from tho wagon pis
tol in hand, about twenty feet apart, tho
nring between tno parties commenced.
Each party fired three shots, any one of
which would have proved fatal. Hlaggs
received the first shot in the mouth, tho
noxt in tho throat, and tho third in tho
hrca.it. When these shots wcro fired, the
parties turned their backs upon cauh oth
er, walked about tho same distance from
tho scene, and both fell about tho samo
instant, one upon Ins back and the other
upon his face, and died with pistol in
hand. This occasioned a great deal of
promiscuous snooting about twenty ran
dom shots between the respective friend
of both parties, llut lortuuatcly no oth
cr damage was done.
