Information reached the citv yes terday that a shooting affray took nlace at Milan, oh the Memphis aud Louis ville railroad. A coui.-le of voumr men. whose uames could not lie ascertained. paid a visit to theTraiis-Atltditic circus, which exhibited at that place on Satur- ia. itie.v had heen drinkinc free v. and at the close of the jierformauce they lusuiieii auu assauueu a colored woman named Jackson. Her husband inter fered to protect his wife, when oue of me men drew a pistol and shot him in the left hip. In the oonfuslon which ensued both men managed to escape up the railroad track. The constable of ine town immediately went to the depot and procured the switch-engine aud proceeded up the track in pursuit. In a short space of time the men were over taken, the engine stunned, and i,.,tb sr. rested. As the wound is not considered a dangerous one they were admitted to bail I iy a magistrate. A very large number of citizens vis ited the camp of the seventh cavalry yesterday afternoon, and examined eve rything in a very critical manner, and appurently with a good deal of interest. Everything looked neat and clean, and the utmost order prevailed. It is high ly i-'iaoiviiiK to sta e mat. a nisi- i alsmt seven hundred of the troons were paid off on Saturday, not a single arrest of auy of the soldiers took place that night, although it must be stated that Large placards on the walls, similar to the bills announcing the arrival of a circus, cave forth the intelligence thai an individual calling himself Professor E. V. Wilson would lecture on (spirit ualism and give teste of an extraordinary character in the uranu operanouse yes terday morning and evening at fifty cents ahead. As there are a good many curious neorde in Memphis who are al ways ready to flock to hear anything strange and startling, it is not at all wonderful that the Operahouse was well filled, especially last night, with what seemed to be a respectable, intelligent audience. The so-called professor is a large, portly individual, weighing alsitit two huudred pounds, with a large head, covered with iron-gray, bushy hair, shaggy eyebrews, small, piercing eyes, a prominent nose, while his chin is ornamented with a gray beard rapidly becoming white. The scene, in theatrical phrase, was a parlor scene, with stylish furniture, while on the table was a large,handsomely-bouud family Bible. Professor Wilson took for his subject, after the choir had sung onio oiootious in music, the tempta tion ol our nrst parents in the fwdan nf Eden, aud then proceeded to deliver a ti rade of what simply may be called blasphemy, and must have shocked many of his audience if they were not entirely past redemption. He alluded to the Deity iu the most flippant man ner, and the familiar style in which he referred to Old Nick would have almost made any one believe that they were on the most intimate terms with each oth er. After some preliminary observations of a general character, he read the half- doze u first verses of the third chapter of (ienesis, relative to the temptation, and then contended that the serpent had proved itself more powerful than God and that christians in all the churches were taking the lesson of the serpent in preference to the ies sou of God every day, as they wished to be gods, knowing good and evil, it was to be assumed, he said that Adam was not present when the serpeut tempted Eve, but that she plucked the fruit from the tree, ate some of it, and the" went to Adam and gave it to him, "and he did eat thereof; aud the eyes of both were opened, and they kuew that they were naked: and thev sewed fig-leaves together, and they made themselves aprons; and they heard the voice of the Lord God, walking in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the gar den." God, said the lecturer, did not come in the heat of the suu, but like a comfortably inclined gentleman came out to take a walk in the cool of the day, as he did not wish to have any bad effects resulting from the ravs of the sun. He walked about Iu the cool of the evening. He walked to the grove ol roses to inhale their delicious penunie, and theu to the beautiful chiystal lake iu which Milton says, "Eve bathed," aud not beiug aide to see Adam or his wife, he called out first in a low tone of voice.

He told (iod that he was ashamed, and that lie had eaten of the forbidden fruit at tlie suggestion of the woman, who tated that the serpent had beguiled her. ine lecturer here look a sudden shoot, and declared that the present condition of France was entirely at t rib ulable to the fact that she had too much God in her constitution, aud that Xaivoleon III, who had been blessed by Pio N. !... bad been eoimuerpil y Bismarck, who had been crused by Pio Nono. He also cited Spain, Na ples, Italy, Mexico, and the republics of .south America, as being in tli" same position as France, from the same cir- n instances as hrauce. He declared on the word of an old Democrat that the late war was not caused bv nolities. but wing to ine wish of many to put God n the constitution, who wanted to lect their God and their President very four years. He said that King James's version of the bible was gradually accepted by christians as nian9 savior and redeemer; but this he denied. He next referred to the life of Christ, and said if they were to believe Paul, Jesus was expelled from Hades. aud scouted the idea that no one iu the whole of Jerusalem knew Jesus while he was walking in the garden of (Jeth semane with Peter, James aud John, except Judas. He said many people died happy who were not pro:essing chris tians. He illustrated this branch of his subject by referring to the deati of a friend, Judge Kuowlton, who lived and died an atheist, and who on his death-bed made him (Prof. Wilson) pledge his word that there would be no services at the grave. The speaker sent word to the christians of the church, invitiug them to the funeral, but stating there would be no religious services. out tney saiu, "ne nad nveu HKe a dog, died like a dog, and let dogs bury him." Laughter. This was what they called christian charity. And those present at the funeral were only himself iProf. Wilson), his sou, a negro, and a whisky-seller. Renewed laughter. They had no charity for those who came iutocoullict with the church. and he had told Brother Watson that if he continued to teach spiritual doctrines the Methodists would put him out, and they did it, too; but he would rather place his life in the hands of Brother Watson than in the hands of those who crucified him. Could thev for a mo ment suppose Brother Watson could forgive those who expelled him from the church or caused him t resign? Re ferring again to God in Christ, he said that God would have felt much better in a gorgeous tem ple like the Operahouse than he could have done m the plaiu tent of Abraham. on the plains of Mamre, and if he could not overthrow Jacob at Bethel what could he do with Heeuau? Loud laugh ter. He declared that every thing done by the devil he was told to do by tie Hebraic God. Turn iug again to the temptation in the gar den of Eden, he aaid that people, in listening to bis explanation of it, said he was blasphemous, but such was uot the case; they could read it for them selves, as he had not altered a single letter or a single word. Besides, had noi Ciou sani, through Jsaiah. EditoksAppeal Colonel Trezevant steps fortli aa a champion of it is diffi cult to say what iu particular. He is so generally bandy in all matters and places. As he does not attempt an an twer to the facts and positions consecd lively stated in my three communica tions, he therefore, offers nothing for a r phi- me truth is, it is utterly mon strous, preposterously absurd, to think of adding another dollar to the even now dishonored and miserably depre ciated public indebtedness dishonored and depreciated because so large that we cannot pay even the interest on it, at the same time that our people are groaning under present taxes they cannot pay, aud real estate, with all our roads, is dead under the burdens it cannot bear, and which gen tiemen of the "chamlier," owning their residences and storehouses only, or not M much, or any at all, would still far ther burden; and, to this end, as it seems, would also invoke the champion ship of the gallant knight from White river. Hut, assailing notlnug 1 have said, but "slosbiug around" generally, and spreading himself about like "loose buttermilk," the colonel gets off some things loosely, which I will notice as side-shows.' 1 pass by several slang phrases unworthy of himself, and only required in weak causes: lie says that "the owners of houses and lots are more benefited by railroads than tbe merchants (and by this he means, if anyi1"" that daaxtionai buidtma snould be put upon real estate). and he gives, fur illustration, an admit ted "extreme case" of property in the business part of the city, and also "con cedes that ( it-1 increased value is not all owing to railroads." He so "concedes" away his assumption. I can aid him. Heal estate is lower than it was six years ago. More than this, it is utterly un marketable, and I can say and show tbe proof of yet more now than I am will ing to publish. So, the said owners are "benefited" with a vengeance! And more benefited "than the merchants," he says, men, wny ao not the mer chants invest in real estate? Why do they shun it to invest in bonds, insu rance companies, banking, and the like? Why is it that they have thous ands and hundreds of thousands to so invest, whilst "tbe owners of houses and lots" do not realize enough from them to pay the taxes and necessary re pairs? Hay the commerce of Memphis, which, in a single year, doubles the en tire value of all the real estate iu the entire county, is less benefited ! Pshaw Hut the colonel implies further tkat Jthe real estate owner "wants somebody else" to build the roads, unwilling to liear his full share. What an imputa tion upon the real estate owners of this city and county, in view of their pres ent railroad burthens, beneath which they stagger! They do now say, and have the right to say, no more now on them, the camel's baek is well nigh bro ken; do as the great railroad cities do, build them by the private subscriptions and wealth of commercial men and others who want them for commercial purposes; put into them especially some of the sixty muiion dollars that your trade employs, and grows fat upon. " Try that on," gen tlemen of commerce, till vou get but one-third even with the real estate own ers, and you will have the roads we ought to have and no "mud town." He infers that 1 regard some of our roads as already injuring us. I do, and thev have only begun to injure us. We ought never to have built a road north or northwardly with continuous connec tion. TM trade of Bartlett will, if it does uot now, go to Louisville. The otton will go north from Browns ville to its destination without com ing here, by unnatural force, as now, to go back the next day. In the same way, the Arkansas trade will go to St. Iiouis if you give it outlet northwardly into or upon the Cairo road. would cross hue river at the colo nel's town and the Cairo road further south, and thence to the northwest, not Kansas City at all, thus making it the neceaeiry of that trade to come here bv supplying to outlet northwardly. A course is necessary from Memphis to send off our accumulations, but not to produce tliem, and we need not to uuiiu any iiortuern outlet. hat We need, in short, is one road of proper ca pacity north, owned and con trolled by Memphis men. to brimr our merchandise here, aud carry off our products bnight here, and tbe other roads to bring here the productions of the country and distribute our trade; only the one runmug continuotmlv northward. We ought to :bave the trade of all the West Tennessee towns. ut wc have nearly none of It, because these direct northern connections. he roads we have so built do not ooe- iaw iu iriaiu uui iraue, out 10 lose it BI RULARIEK. Housebreaker William Henry Arrested while Mndylng; Ihe "Road to Heaven. " During the past couple of weeks, sev eral houses on Adams street have been burglariously entered by thieves, and articles of all descriptions carried off. The police have been very reticent about the matter, and Detectives MeCune and Walsh have been busily engaged in en deavoring to ferret out the burglars. Af ter a good deal of patient inquiry, they succeeded yesterday morning in getting a clue, and closely followed up the trail, and about noon were successful in cap turing the leader of the gang a negro named Wm. Henry. They had searched several "fence" houses but without find ing any of the stolen property. Going to one of these dens on Jefferson street, between Third and Fourth streets, yes terday, they found Henry sitting in front of the house and took him into custody. Iuside the house they brought to light a small volume beautifully bound in vel vet entitled " The Road to Heaven," which had been stolen from tbe resi dence of Dr. E. Miles Willett, at No. 204 Adams street, and a fam ily bible stolen from the bouse of Mr. William Park, at No. 206 on the same street. Both residences werej entered in the same manner, by forcing up the front windows and springing the latches with a "jimmy." The lower portion of Dr. Willett'a house was completely ransacked, and several dresses, three overcoats, a number of books, and a quantity of plate carried off, Mr. Park's house was ransacked in the same style, and a large amount of property stolen.

I did not say, as the eolo uel disingenuously implies, that there were means to build a road to the north west, uu the contrary, I said and say there are none to build roads anywhere, uuless the merchants who have the means, or eastern or foreign capital ists will supply them. Nordid I object to the gentlemen of the "committee;" very good merchants, very good men, but what do they (tradesmen know about railroad routes more than Tate, Dorsey, Ford, and their directors and engineers? And why the committee at all if these railroad men and officers are to be trusted or are honest? And, if not houest, how are they to lie trusted with the money raised, either after or before work be done? If not honestly anulied. the road would be sold, and away it would go, like now, the last one of our roads has gone, stock and all. I repeat it, the proposed additional public indebt edness here, and now, would be fruitless and even wicked. It would be money thrown away, and oppression augmented to me tax-payer; a eonsum mation only to be had. however, bv i force worse than physical, by a robbery worse man mai irom the person bv merely numerical force and numerical rohtiery, of which, fust now. at least. there is but little prospect, with a faith ful county court, composed of men of common sense, aud not visionary But, really, alter all, this is but another of the little breezes we are favored with, by ine "chamber," witbout regard to weather.

The bright sky aud charrr ing atmos phere of yesterday inspired our people with the animus of worship, and the churches iu all parts of the city were well attended. The sermons delivered. so far as our reporters could ascertain. were of an evangelical, not doctrinal. character, and appealed to the minds and hearts of their hearers. Sweet mu sic, emanating from organs and human lips,gave additional zest and fervor to the exercises, and spiritual edification was recorded. In the afternoon, a most interesting and instruct ive service was held at the Linden street Christian church, beiug the regular quarterly concert of the Sunday-school of the congregation worship ing there. Cpon this occasion the ex ercises consisted of songs, reading of scripture, aud most entertaining aud spirited addresses by the scholars. The walls of the school-room were covered with large, well executed pictures, ii lustrative of tbe subjects delineated In the center was a representation of creation; "in the beginning (jod created the heavens and the earth;' wnne on ine right and lett hand were others describing the various stages of me divine government or the world .viauy or tue addresses were poems, and were delivered by the youths with strikingly dramatic eflect "Creation," by Miss Mary Brown; "fcden," by Miss Clara Wright: "The Bow in the Cloud," by Mr. C. Daniel; ''Escape from Sodom," by Miss Matthews, aud "Jacob at Bethel." bv Miss Ella Halstead, were rendered with highly literary ami spiritual unction full of beauty aud orthodox theology. Tbe prose essays "Cain and Abel," by- Grace Toof; "Noah and the Ark," by ira Hartley; "i-an and from ise," by- James Cowden, "Covenant with Abram," by Eddie Walk; "Trial of Abrahams Faith," and "Jacob and Esau," by Jefferson Dowdy, werehomo letical and historic. The whole exer cise, under the superintendency of Mr uauiei, as pleasing and creditable to the uuday-school work, and worthy the emulation of others.

Corinth, at noontide, presents a per fect picture of a southern village ami country life. Here we still find the countryman in copperas and homespun fresh from the plowbandles, sunburnt yellow-haired and hard-handed, ind ilg ing this once-a-week in sugar and whis- y. ne is merry enough when the sun goes does down, and lucky is bis good spotise at home If he do not forget the canco oress. ana coffee, and mjgar with which he promised to return to make Sunday delightful and memorable. Tbe streets of Corinth have many such oe cupants to-day, and there are ten ne groes to one white man sauntering m the hot sunbeams, and loitering about the dram-shops. Saturday, since slaves were liberated, is as wholly given over to secular idleness, as were Sundays and Christmas week under the regime of African servitude. Freedom has ab solved negro women from all tasks as farm laborers. The young rarely enter tne cotton nelds, and it follows that quite half the land cultivated ten years ago is unfenced and unfilled. It is in this desolateness of the country along rail ways that gives travelers the impres-;..n that laziness pervades and overmasters the south. Corinth, on sunny Satur days, attests the assertion that within the tropics an enervating sun shines, ami where bread is 30 easily made and money so readily coined from cotton, men will not toil constantly or indu.stri ously as in colder latitudes. Here the people move about most lazilv. Thev drag their feet and drawl out their words and stare listlessly at a stranger. Horses, ndden to town by the farmers, lally groomed, their tails and manes tilled with cockle-burrs, are hitched every where to cart-wheels and fences, and stand with heads swinging below their knees, and, with one hind foot half up lifted, their lazy bodies rest upon the other three. Laziness is in the very air one breathes, in the soft winds " tr at come creeping up so lazily from tue gulf, in the odors of countless peach bloesoms and jonquils, and in the soft. sweet bloom and delicious perfume of ciover-ntids mat crown the hills about Corinth. It is tbe essence and spirit and very genius of lazinesss that vetoes decrees of progress, and silences the machinery of a cotton-mill which Corinth, when suffering from an e'ectric stroke of heavenly energy, upreared but never finished. The town grows; but, lazily. There are houses begun and never finished. The owners were too lazy. A building before my window was walled in a year ago, and after rot ting for a time, will be roofed. Laziness contemplates its task for months, and then a coat of paint gives freshness to the work,and the structure is half rotten before perfection crowns the toil of lazi ness. The day is hot. The sun shines almost fiercely. I am reminded of the time when one hundred thousand men were dying in and about this spot, his torical as the graveyard of armies where war was simply a grave-digger, giving glory to none and death to all. Hideous, baleful memories invest Cor inth with horrible, ghastly associations, enough to paralyze the energiesof a peo ple breathing a inere invigorating atmos phere and dwelling in latitudes where nature gives nothing without ML LAZINESS, melancholy laziness, broods over Cor inth, and, while I write, as the sun be gins its downward course, lazy lawyers with fishing-rods hie away to woodland streams, and the scoring of mine host, laziest of his kind, in the next apart ment, renders the task I have under taken impossible. This Is a very brief nut signincant picture or southern life in a southern town, and tells why the north, with all its harshness of climate and unproductive valleys and stony hillsidee, grows rich and populous ani powerful. Blessings that we deem choicest involve the greatest inherent evils. The delightfully enervating at mosphere that envelopes this lazy little city is the source of all its woes and gives it all its attractiveness. fatness and laziness. While I make these lazily-written memoranda, the ex-congressman from the district saunters slowly adown the dusty, hot highway from his rose-embowered home, and spreads his enormous person looselv about the verandah of the hotel. He blows like a hippopotamus, and sweats like an iceberg in the gulf stream. As he grows cooler and more comfortable he squanders himself upon tne noor and sleeps and breathes, the very impersonation of ponderous an blissful laziness. LAZINESS again. There was a Corinth of vore. Its people were luxurious and lazy. lhuher went ero to win wondrous triumphs as fiddler, athlete and chariot eer, but in this modern Corinth there are only lazy boys playing marbles in shady nooks. St. Paul imagined that his brethren of Corinth ate and drank "unworthily" even in the churches. but here there is only a little whiskv ab- soroeu, anu now ana men a thirsty Cor inthian is seen staggering slowly and la zily away from some abode of Bacchus, having violated the injunction of the eloquent apostle. There is, too, an ex cellent newspaper, conducted by an able and excellent preacher; and we may well anticipate many re forms wrought by this author of many a coming fierce and brilliant epistle to the Corinthians. At J. B. F AIRES & CO., Court Njnare Stables. Males Horses for sale. and Feather-weight Hats, at Leidy's. LOC AL IT VERONA, like old Home, sits enthroned upon seven hills. A male academy crowns one of the loftiest, and a female college another, perhaps a mile distant. Every hilltop is surmounted by a white cottage, and everywhere there are neatly-painted houses of unpretending plainness and simplicity, telling of a population care ful of its gains, yet wanting none of the substantial comforts of life. There are twelve merchants in the place, and not one is avoided by drummers that throng villages along all southern railway lines. Solvency, modest comietencv and good morals distinguish the population of the place, which surely boasts of at least "gentlemen" enough for some Shake- speares to imagine it the scene of an other immortal story. A share of pub lic spirit distinguishes the people of the village. It not only boasts of two ex cellent schools and of high hills and ex cellent water and confessed moral and physical healthfulness, but the schools are supplied with children from distant towns and villages. There is talk of a natrow-gauge railway across the country to tbe coal-fields and iron-mines of Alabama, that manufactories may be established and tbe village become a city. Unhappily tbe same listless inac tivity pervades society here as elsewhere in these negro-governed communities. WHENCE THE CALAMITY. The state government is a terror to the beoble. even in districts huvinir. locally, white masters, and they fear All the profits of toil go- to tbe agents of negro leagues, sometimes called State and county office-holders, and of lazi ness, to the life insurance compa nies! Since laziness is most profitable, the country villages are filled with loafers, and since a life pol'cy proffers a premium to laziness, and contains no prohibition against whisky-guzzling, me little railway sta tions generally boasting of two or three "saloons" to each dry-goals store, are filled with tbe insured. The women, true patriots in this, prefer money that a life is worth to a worthless husband, and death is often a most welcome visitor at the home of drunken and life assured poverty. However, there are few murders in this region. Tbe busi ness is satisfactorily and surely con ducted by the rum-venders, and life as surance of course is still popular. I do not believe all this, but the gentleman who stood ap and lectured as above re ported, conversationally, reproduced opinions very commonly entertained and rapidly gaining potency throughout the south. MACON. There are many sober people, said the talker, whose lives are insured, and more whose age and poverty compel the sur render of policies issued when it was be lieved that evils of government would be ephemeral, and by this process oi for feiture the rich corporations have been doubly enriched and the south as hope lessly impoverished. Every now and then" some insured wretch "kicks the bucket" that containn the tin for the survivors of the family, the companies make a fearful blow over the accident and payment 'or it, and a hundred suckers are maelstrornei by the great calamity of the age and country called life assurance. The country about Ma con, once the richest in the south, is the vortex of the life assurance business. Everything has been swallowed up by it, and the industry of the origiual property-holders of the country is tie voted mainly to the aggrandizement of powerful assurance corporations. Aa these grow rich, this county grows poorer, even s villages flourish as the country is impoverished. For fifty miles, outside of villages begotten by new systems of life following that of the "o'e plantation," there is not a new fence or a new house aloni; the railway south of Verona. Of course the villages have grown wonderfully, and at the country's cost. One man used to buy annual supplies for one hundred ser vants. He made his purchases at whole sale in Mobile and Memphis, and he alone traveled and traded for the whole plantation. Tout cela nousavons rhanqr, and every tub now stands on its own bottom. Each negro trades for himself, and each becomes the customer of a vil lage shopman, who buys supplies for whites and negroes in Mobile or Mem phis. Thus little trading villages are multiplied without any relative progres- siveuess in the country, on the contra ry, the greater the number of dwellers in these villages, the greater the num ber who have their lives insured, if the lecturer I was talking about may be believed, and live in the midst of idle ness and whisky. NOXl'HKE. It is suggested, since foreign popula tions will not live sandwiched among people of a different race, that the land holder of this county. Xoxubee, organ ize a ring to which they agree to con vey, for a fixed price, all their surplus lands. The broad acres, to be sold iu Europe, will be populated by Europe ans, and thus there may be such pre- lominance of numbers on the part of whites that immigrants from abroad would no longer be repelled. Tbe scheme is, perhaps, good enough, but utterly impracticable. People of this country, unlikeour Yankee cousins, have never learned the art. or the advantages of co-operation. Ho two men stand side by side in anv enort or scheme ot public or private beneficence, and therefore no railways are built, and there is no pro gress save backward and downward. Towns and villagesgrowat the country's cost, and the prosperity of villages" is only significant of the unwillingness of the"peopl.uuderexuting social systems, to toil in the fields. To mke Xoxubee a garden there are ivanting GefmSh and Alsatian farmers, and these peoni? would soon learn the art of so governing the country that the cost of government would be the least possible. Isn't it apity that a good God having given as such lands, in a climate so faultless, beneath skies so clear, and with winds so soft and balmy isn't it a pity that such a land should be so govern" ! 'iud " '.'.'.i-.'' '. by perjured wretches and ignorant, be sotted thieves that civilized races turn away from Noxubee county with horror and dismay. There is a black cloud overshadowing It. It is blacker than Erebus; fiercer, on election days, than ten furies, aril ever afterward, more ter rible man hell, it is a negro majority of three thousand that makes the first syllable of the word Noxubee significant of the county's fortunes. Eternal "night" has drawn its deepest, heaviest mantle of gloom over a hapless people, once the richest and most ierfectlv blest of heaven in all this broad laud. It is ! central Africa now, where Livingstones are lost forever lost. l. j. d. DB.Y GOODS.
