Trorn oir Evening Edition of Yesterday. KII.LISQ AFFAIU is We met yesterday Cnpt. "SV. Joynes, raero.uant at Breuliam, who gave us some of the particulars of the unfortunate shooting r.ffuir wliicli occurred in that plrw on 21st iust, and resulted iu the death of Dr. E.

'W. Code by Mr. Home Campbell. Dr. Cade, generally a sober mac, "was unfortunately in tho habit of taking a spree periodically, and wlicn in that condition was boisterous, r.ud at times quarrelsonic, often making threats, to which no one, however, paid any attention.

The morning of the difliculty he met Mr. Campbell, drew pistol Tipon him and made threats against bis life. Sir. C. retreated inio the house and the doctor remained outs'ule still threatening to shoot him if lie dared to come out.

ilr. C. stepped out with a double-barrel shot gun and fired upon the doctor, who fell immediately, the shot taking effect in tho spine and abdomen. He lingered until the next morning and expired about 2 o'clock, lie made a special request that 3Ir. Campbell should not be prosecuted.

He leaves an interesting family to monrn his untimely death. Dr. Cade, when not under the inltucncc of liquor, was one of the finest looJ.ing find most entertaining gentlemen we have ever met, and stood high in the estimation of all who knew him, as a elcTcr and talented gentleman and most accomplished surgeon and physician. The Corsicana Observer says oar correspondent, B. F.

Carroll, who lately gave us an interesting account ofNavarro county, failed to do full justice to the people. TUeir hospitality can liardly be surpassed. An immigrant arriving there can hardly get away, he is so kindly treated, that is, i i a industrious man. TUe people now have money, being the proceeds of their fine crops, and are payiuy tlteir Now we italicise these words, because if true, they show that the people of Navirro possess a very rare virtue in these times. The editor fears that they are to plant too much cotton the ensuing year and not enough breadstuff.

Xow we have the very same fear ia regard to all our cotton counties--and in fact, nearly all the counties of the State are now producing cotton. But if cotton crop fails and DO corn, or if the price of cotton declines-What then 1 Says the Observer, No hogs; no bacon in the smokehouse; no corn in the crib, and no money to buy with. Look sharp and be sure to plant corn enough to do you." By the would liere admonish our farmers to prep re for a heavy fall ia the price of cotton, for if r.o other of the many causes of decline, should produce that result, it is almost certain to be brought about by an unusually large crop, for every where all over Texas, and all over the South, we have the very same accounts that every body is preparing to plant cotton largely another From onrEvculnj: of UTKSr BY A I OV THE JNSUKI.ECTIOX 1'UE- DICTED.

Charles Frost, which was tised as a lodging place for some mechanics who boarded Here they found Mr. Hurry Marquart, whom they made prisoner and placed a guard over, telling i that it he moved or attempted to give any alarm he would be shot. Threa of the party then rode, to the small building used as a customhouse, aad found Mr. R. 11.

Ryan, Acting Deputy Collector, standing at the door. They addressed him in Spanish several times: he replied in Enirlish that he could not understand what they said.

Tiie exact truth on this subject ought to be adiniasablc hi public discussion and the exact truth with regard to tlias pretense is, that it is lie as patent and notorious as the truth that the Confederates learned in tho war, that they could not cope with the superior numbers and resources of the Northern States. They know they innst be obedient to the government, because they know tho government can compel obedience.

Of the legal tender question now before the Snpreme Court, the New York Tribune snjs editorially: "We are confidentially advised from Washington, that the Supreme Court is pretty certain to adjudge tho legal tendrr act unconstitutional.

Tho subject is one of such pervading interest tlmt we hire cot deemed it best to await the appearance of tbe judgment, which Tvill soon be rendered. Though, the Tribune may he consid- ered good authority on this important inbject, jet it is but proper to say that the very contrary opinion is expressed by some of the Neiv York papers.

Not haying counted with meeting any resistance, they next tried tho rear of the house, bufc here they were met with the same fire, aad as tho firing and cries for help had attracted the attention of the people on the Mexican side, several of whom were coming over to the assistance of the inhabitants, the robbers rode off, taking their plunder with them. Scouting parties were immediately sent out, and the robbers were traced to a point two miles above" Clarkcs yUie, where they had crossed the river into The bodies of the murdered men were interred tho evening following.
