OXFORD, MISS, June 24, 1869.

Dear Clarion: In June, 1866, was induced to attend the Commencement Exercises 1. at the University of Mississippi. So great was the treat, no other engagements have Induced me to be absent men since on occasions of the kind. The exercises closing the present session seem of unusual interest; but, as I have much to refer to, my preamble must be brief. FIRST DAY--SUNDAY.

The Annual Commencement Sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. A. J. Baird, pastor of the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Nashville, and Was a masterly presentation of Divine Truth, from the text: I Cor.

3:13. "Every roan's work shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it. because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is." The spacious University Chapel was occupied at an early hour by perhaps the largest and most splendid audience that ever assembled within its walls; and the earnest, warmhearted, and, at times, truly eloquent utterances of this distinguished divine, held them spell- bound for about one hour. The discourse was addressed to the students of the University, whose bright and intelligent countenances, up-turned the speaker, manifested the extraordinary interest inspired by the noble, christian sentiments and wise counsels be was Imparting to them, in beautiful forms of varied illustration and classic diction. He used no notes, but spoke untrammeled and with great fervency.

Dr. Baird is a gentleman of polished suarity of manner, and refined and christian culture. His discourse exhibited no contemptible propensity to indulge in display of learning or eloquence, but yet it did show that he possessed the native and acquired resources, upon which he drew at will, to enforce and render attractive the great practical truths "Dr. B. also presenting.

preached at night to a crowded and appreciative auditory in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. SECOND This is the Sophomore Prize Declamation Day. Speeches, interspersed with applause and music, were made as follows: Regulus to the Roman Senate--Joseph J. Shirley, Crystal Springs. Consolation of the Southern Patriot-Wm.

The Sophomores acquitted themselves very creditably, and will each, doubtless, get the prize. If they don't, it will be because I am not a judge.

The annual meeting of the Phi Sigma Society took place at night in the Chapel. and was public. Three -R. A. Parker, Salutatory Orator; L.

S. Handley, Valedictory Orator, and Switzer. in response from Junior Class, then delivered orations. The Diplomas were conferred upon the Graduates, and the evening clo-ed with impromptu speeches from Dr. Waddell.

Col. J. W. Taylor. Judge Howry, Mr.

Voorhees, together with a few remarks from the venerable Judge Longstreet, Ex-President of the University. THIRD DAY-TUESDAY. There was a fine audience to-day, notwithstanding the rain. The Junior Orators hold forth, and there are young ladies by the hundred to listen and admire, and honor with boquets and smiles. The programme is as follows: "Tis a great and thing to Luther Haman.

Hinds county. The proper study of Man is Man'-Eugene Johnson, Tippah county. Distinguished link in Beings' Endless Chain" -Hampton Mundall Sullivan, Panola county. Endless are the projects the soul burns to Accomplish--Thomas Foote, Macon, Mississippi. Life is a Magic Ring--Thomas Theodore Pritchell.

His speech was a fine specimen of keen satire, full of brilliant conceptions, beautiful illustrations and classic allusions, which won golden opinions from all. It was pleasing to note how heartily his brother Juniors congratulated him on his splendid and successful effort. At night the Hermean Society was held in the Chapel. The attendance was good. W.

Galloway, Salutatory Orator, S. W. E. Pegues and W. P.

Cassedy, addressed the audience; and many lively speeches and some grave remarks were made by Dr. Baird, Dr. Burney, Dr. Garland, Col. Hilyer.

Judge Hill, and others. The Alumni Society also met -day, to re-organize. E. P. Harman, an Alumnus of the class of 1858, was selected to address the Society at the next annual meeting during commencement week in 1870.

FOURTH DAY--WEDNESDAY. This day isordinarily devoted to two great orations--the Oration before the Literary Societies of the University, and the Annual Oration befor the Law Department. The orator this year, for the first service, was Hon. Jos. W.

Taylor, of Eutaw, and for the other, Hon Wiley P. Harris, of Jackson. Mr. Taylor was present, and by the grand oration he delivered, fully met the very 1 high expectations which had been formed of him. Unfortunately Judge Harris was detained at Jackson (as counsel in the case before Military Commission.) His absence was much regretted.

Space forbids an extended notice of the address of Colonel Taylor. His theme Was: The Education the Young Men of the New spoke, extemporaneously, for two hours. The address will doubtless be published. It should have a wide circulation. The delivery of the medals to the successful contestants of the Sophomore Prize Class followed Col.

Tavlor's address. The Rev. Dr. Baird, in a most graceful, pleasing and appropriate address, then announced the decision of the Board of Judges, and delivered the first medal to Mr. Walter Long Sink, of Selma, Ala.

As the second grade of excellence had been assigned to Messrs. Hampton L. Jarnagin, of Macon, and Henry Sale Yerger, of Memphis, it was resolved to have two gold medals of the second grade provided, and one given to each of these worthy young gentlemen. At the close of these exercises, Chancellor Waddel announced that the usual Annual Reception would take place at his residence that night from "nine to twelve and as the invitation to the same was universal, a vast crowd of delighted visitors accepted thereof. FIFTH DAY-THURSDAY.

Why Commencement Day should be the closing day, am not informed; but it is certainly the day on occasions like this. At an early hour this morning the Chapel was filled to its utmost capacity. It was indeed a very brilliant scene- one well worth many hours of travel to witness. After music and prayer, the following Order of Exercises observed: Salutatory Oration, in Latin--John Whitfield Shields, Minden, Louisiana. Truth, the Basis of all Excellence--James Maury Harding, New Orleans.

The Noblest of the Learned ProfessionsThomas C. Johnson, Marshall county. The Situation--James T. Downs, Wilkinson county. The Last Hours of "Stonewall JacksonWm.

Calvin Wells, Hinds county. Onward--Josephus Johnson, Water Valley. The Thorns Reap are of the Tree Planted -Frank Archelaus Critz, Oktibbeha county, The Age Calls, but the Hero does not Come- Whitfield Shields, Minden. The Value of a Good Moral CharacterMilton Calhoun Hutton, Green county. Our Aim in Life-Wm.

S. Johnson, Memphis. Independence of Thought Lafayette Graves -Durr, Simpson county. What Next? -Alston Madden West, 0x- ford. Then followed the announcement of the honorary degree of Master of Arts conferred on Rev.

R. W. Shine, Scarcy, Arkansas. Geo. E.

Critz, Alumnus of University. Prof. T. S. Gathright, Summerville Institute.

The conferring of Degrees and delivery of Diplomas to graduates of the Law Department was next in order. The degree of Bachelor of Laws (LL. was thereupon conferred on: Harris Parke Branham, Oxford, (first honor); John W. Thompson Falkner; William Richard Barnaby Hatter; William Barclay Huddleston; James Franklin MeCool: Thomas Joiner McFarland; Charles Edwards Pegues; William Henry Rees; PickStricklin; George Franklin F. Thompson; James Laurence Young.

The Valedictory Class was delivered by its first-honor man, Mr. H. P. Branham. This was followed by the conferring of the degree of and the delivery of diplomas to graduates of Department of Arts and Sciences, who are as follows: First Burwell Fulton, Gainesville, Ala.

Second Whitfield Shields, Minden, La. Third -Alston Madden West, Oxford. Downs, Graves Butler Frank Archelaus. Critz, James, Tickell Graves, Luman Sumpter Handley, James Maury Harding, Franklin Merriam Howell, Milton Calhoun Hutton, Josephus Johnson, Thomas Chalmers Johnson, pow William S. Johnson, Andrew Mecklin, Robert N.

Miller, Samuel Wilds Evans Pegues, Thomson Stevenson, Robert Harvey Thompson, William Calvin Wells. The Valedictory Address was delivered by the tirst-honor man, Robert B. Fulton. The exercises closed with music and the Benediction. Altogether, it was an highly satisfactory reflecting credit on Chancellor, Faculty and Students, and worthy our principal seat of learning.

Two new members have been added to the Board of Trustees by appointment of Governor John Duncan, of Jackson, and Gen. LA. M. West, of this place. They fill the places made vacant by the death of Ex-Governor McRae and Rev.

Dr. Bestor. The new appointees are valuable acquisitions to the Board, and will labor with ligence, zeal and efficiency in maintaining and promoting the success of the University. The University buildings, dormitories, and grounds, require repairing and renovating, which will be thoroughly attended to during vacation. Let us hope that the next session will open with a larger list of students than ever before.

In all its appointments, the University challenges the confidence and patronage of all parents who desire for their sons a thorough, practical and education; while in no similar institution in the land, are the expenses ofthe student so moderate-a consideration not to be despised in times like the present. The University does no depend alone for its success on the sentiment of pride" among the people-which, in the matter of educating our sons at home, is not at as high a pitch as it should be--but she depends chiefly upon her ample facilities, and her past success in training young men for the various callings and professions in life. LOGAN. Masonic Celebration at Canton. CANTON, June 24, 1869.

Dear Clarion: For many years Johns' Day has not been 80 generally observed in Mississippi. The demonstration here was very creditable to the brethren of the Celestial City. will briefly state the exercises of the nine o'clock, the special train from Jackson arrived bearing a full delegation from Pearl and Silas Brown Lodges, and Jackson Commandery, No. also the splendid Brass Band. At ten o'clock, the brethren having all assembled at the Baptist Church, the Grand Lodge was opened by Grand Master Gathright.

1 procession was then formed, marching around the Square, to the Methodist Church, where mueh of the beauty and loveliness of Canton already assembled. The orator of the day was Past Grand Master Giles M. Hillyer, and right well did he sustain his reputation as an orator and Masonic writer. The music by the choir was appropriate and excellent. At two o'clock, the procession was re-formed, and proceeded to the Pearce House, near the depot, where a sumptuous dinner was served, demonstrating---if such thing were needed---the hospitality of the citizens of Canton.

It has been a pleasant day, in all respects, and we of Jackson return, with "music by the band," feeling that it was good to have been here. LOGAN. MISSISSIPPI STATE FAIR. Circular frows the Committees. JACKSON, May, 29th, I869.

W. T. WITHERS, Ch'n. Ways Means. ROBERT KELLS, 'Ch'o.

By-Laws and Premium List. At a meeting of the Planters', Manufacturers' and Mechanics' Association of the State of Mississippi, held in this city in Jannary last, it was unanimously resolved to hold a State Fair at the city of Jackson, on the fourth Tuesday in October next, and a Committee of Arrangements was appointed to make the necessary preparation to carry this resolution into. effect. 'The following plan of organization has been adopted A Joint Stock Company has been formed, consisting of Life Members and Annual Members. Any person who subscribes the sum of fifty dollars becomes a Stock-holder and Life Member, and has the privilege with his family, to attend all the fairs that may be hereafter held and exhibiting any article, stock, free of charge.

Those who subscribe ten dollars, become Annual Members, and have the privilege of attending all exhibitions held during the year ofsubscribing, and exhibiting any articles, stock, free of charge. The sum of $7.000 has been already subscribed, of it by citizens of Jackson, and arrangements are being made to commence erection of suitable buildings at once, It is desired to increase the subscription to $25.000. This is not a local Fair, but has been projected by leading planters and manufacfrom all parts of the State, and designed to be carried out in an enlarged and liberal spirit, and to rival in magnitude and unportance, the celebrated State Fairs Such of Kentucky and other Western States. an Association of Planters, Manufacturers, Mechanics and Horticulturalists, is indispensible to develop the vast resources of Mississippi. Our great reed is material reconstruction.

We trust that the leading men ofevery calling and profession throughout the State, will join us and throw theweight of their influence and example in favor of this great work. Let every Mississippian who reads this circular, interest himself to get his neighbors to become members of this Association, and to attend the Fairon the Fourth Tuesday of October next, and bring with them such articles or stock as they may have for exhibition. Especially do we exhort the ladies, who are always foremost in every good work, to take hold of this matter and make it a grand success. Let them come and bring their nice samples of butter, cake, bread, wine, meats, embroidery, quilts, It is expected and desired that owners and breeders of stock, and manufacturers from other States, will attend and exhibit their stock, manufactures, agricultural implements, machinery, etc. They are cordially invited to be present, and will meet with a hearty welcome.

The premium list has not yet been prepared, but will be issued in due season. In the meantime we announce that premiums will be awarded for all classes of stock and articles usually exhibited at State Fairs. The terms of admission ofstock, machinery, for premiums, will be fixed at very reasonable rates. Special Committees will be appointed to examine all articles not embraced in any list, and award such premiums and make such notice as will be satisfactory to parties interested. CAUTION.

M. Yerger Before a Military Commission, for the Killing of Joseph G. Crane, FOURTEENTH DAY FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1869. TESTIMONY OF W. D.

LYLESI am 51 years old; my family residence is in Lauderdale County, Mississippi; my office and place of business is in Memphis, Tennessee; I am by profession a Physician; have practiced my profession for 32 years, with an intermission of, perhaps, two years. Previous to removing to Memphis, 1 resided at Macon, Mississippi. I have known the accused, more or less intimately, since 1865: 1 had known him casually before, and I have had opportunities of knowing him very well; I had studied on the subject of insanity, both as a student and in a long course of practice as a medical man; I have never had charge of an Insane Asylum. As to my opinion of the mental condition of the accused, it is one of those delicate questions which we have sometimes to answer. Ihave no doubt that since 1865, the prisoner has been subject to fits of insanity--moral insanity; I have frequently said so in private conversation with friends, and I have thought so.

spent a portion of the winter of 1865 '67 and I was 166, also, 67; at this place subsequent to placed in circumstances of some intimacy and close contact with him; a portion of that time I was interested in some business relations with Col. Yerger, and I was frequently at his house and enjoyed his hospitality; be and I were friends; I think Col. Yerger one of the most extraordinary men I ever met with; I have so expressed myself to his relatives and friends. He was subject to outbursts of passion toward individuals, and, as I thought, freTo me he was always respectful at least, but quently unnecessarily so, very unnecessarily. he seemed to entertain a particular animosity against individuals; for instance, a gentleman -it is not necessary to mention--who he seemed to have a great hostility to; this gentleman was a personal friend of mine, and took several occasions to say to him, you do that man injustice; he is no enemy of yours; I great am as intimate with him as I am with any man in the State, I never heard him say an unkind word of yon in my life; I don't think he is very fond of you, but he does not feel unkindly toward you at all.

That seemed to satisfy him, and a few days afterward, within a limited period, they met, and they met very cordially and kindly in the streets of Vicksburg. After we walked off, Col. Yerger said to me, I am indebted to you for that; said he, "we met very I said, no, you are not, you are not indebted to me for it. A few days afterward, he indulged in the same line of conversation, and I again corrected him, as I always do when I see a man laboring under false impressions, and so endeavored to keep peace. I have seen him, on occasions, very outrageous and outbreaking, and I hare said to his nncle, Ned is crazy, that is what's the Then again, in a few days, he would be as quiet as could be; but he is a man of erratic temperament, exceedingly so, and in his intercourse with men, (for that is what you want to get at.) he is the most disagreeable man that I ever saw in society; to his friends he is as polite as any man I ever saw, but was liable, at times, to be the most disagreeable, quarrelsome, turbulent, threatening, and tyranical man to those who would not subscribe to his opinion; he would not allow you to think at all unless you thought with him; you must think his way, or not at all: that is his history, and that is about his character.

He is a generous gentleman in his social relations, but in other matters you have to subscribe to him or have a disagreeable time of it. As reyou gards the good cause for these outbreaks, every man must interpret for himself; Thave thought that I have seen many improper manifestations of violence from such causes as would not have excited me. I have regarded him as an excitable, turbulent man. I would say that a man who manifests 8 disposition to make insults and injuries out of things that men ordinarily do not make much of, and a disposition to exaggerate schemes and enterprises beyond all due proportion, did not possess a perfectly balanced mind, assuming the party to he a moral man, that it was insanity; I think the accused has been given very much to exaggeration, especially in regard to financial matters; that has been the result of my intercourse with him. Very often in the course of our acquaintance, he has had some scheme on hand.

for the purpose of realizing, not what ordinary men would speak of, say a few thousand dollars, but hundreds of thousands, millions, I have regarded it as a peculiarity of his organization, he was always dealing in the extravagant; one of these enterprises was thought to be methodized. I was interested in it myself, but Col. Yerger expected much more from it than ever I could see in it but it turned out to be a very badly methodized enterprise. at the time it was pretty well organized, hut he was extravagant in his views and ideas as to the results. I did not agree with all its details but looked to its results, as full of hope and promise.

More recently I had some conversation with him in regard to a scheme of immigration. I saw him in the city of Memphis, probabiy a couple of months ago, and he used recollect, one expression. "he had at last struck oil. I asked him what it was, and he commenced talking about this immigration scheme. I said to him, I suppose it is a very good thing, but it will end like many other similar things.

I had no faith in companies; if people wanted to come here let them come, and they will find plenty of land, and plenty of work, but these great enterprises for populating the South I think they are all erratic schemes of humbuggery. But he- went on to say that it would enhance the value of our it would enable him to go to burope and there educate his family and live like a prince. He talked very extravagantly, and I really do not know whether he believed it or not; 1 looked upon it as a vagary; anything personal to himself, any opposition to his views. he was always ready to construe into personal opposition, that was the tendency of his mind. I do not know what was the motive, but that was always the tendency, in other words, the accused was the most intolerant man that I ever saw.

I have seen him so to others, but he never manifested it towards me, except perhaps an occasional spat or two that did'nt amount to anything, By Judge Advocate: I have not made the study of insanity a special one except as a collateral branch of my profession; have visited several lunatic asylums, and have had patients in private. I should say, after listening to the testimony of the witnesses, that the prisoner was laboring under some form of mania: delerium tremens might possibly have manifested itself in the ways the prisoner was attepted at the times mentioned, exceptat the interview with Sorsby. I could not understand that there was mania portu in that case. I have known persons to imagine a state of things which did not exist, while they were under the influence of mania portu. It is not probable that the prisoner was laboring under such influence at the interview with Sorsby; persons laboring under such influence are generally apprehensive and not aggressive.

should say that the delusion under which the prisoner was laboring on the night testified to by Mr. Taylor and John K. Yerger was moral insanity, for the reason that I know his organization of mind to some extent; he is a sensitive man and liable to great outbursts of passion; I have seen a great deal of the prisoner since 1865: I have seen him drink, repeatedly; I have drank with him myself at his own house in a social way. I cannot say I ever saw him really intoxicated, I mean to say, I never saw him making an exhibition of himself on the streets. I have seen him under the influence of liquor as I considered, but although I knew him so well I hardly ever knew whether he was drunk or sober; he is one of those extravagant men in his conversation and ordinary deportment, but I never saw him staggering in my life.

During all the time I was staying at his house, while he furnished me with wines and brandies, he would quit; at other times he would be an ordinary drinker like other gentlemen; I should say that he was in the habit of taking his glass occasionally almost every day; I can't tell how many; I never saw him drunk; he may have drank every half hour; I can only judge of the amount he took, by the effect I saw; persons in the habit of drinking steadily and somewhat to excess daily would be liable to delerium tremens by stopping off for a short time. In reference to this immigration scheme, I know of it only from his speech. I read it, and he conversed with me about it, but I regarded it as so wild and visionary that it made no impression on my mind, because it was too gigantic, and would require more money to carry it out than he could control. or any one else. I did not examine it particularly, but I listened to him as I would to any gentleman on such a subject.

As to the appearance of the prisoner at the time referred to, when he was supposed to be subject to attacks of emotional insanity--it manifests itself usually in the prisLoner's hatreds and suspicions; it was the result of being, as he supposed, crossed in some ambitious purpose, either of money making, or political or personal advancement; he always was a very neat man in his dress, and of course when he was excited by those outbursts of passion, his face and eyes would present that apappearance which is peculiar to men laboring under great excitement. He had a disagreeable way, so I regarded it, of drawing up his mouth, trowning and contracting his eyebrows. This was habitual with him when he WaS angry. I have not intended to be understood that I have seen him laboring under an attack of emotional insanity; I meant, however, to say that I have said of him frequently to his relatives and other friende, Ned Yerger is crazy;" but I did not probably mean it in its full force at the time, but that he was unreasonable and unjust; I have frequently heard eccentric persons spoken of as crazy. (Witness, in the course of his testimony, entered into a lengthy disquisition upon the various forms of insanity.

which is necessarily omitted for want of room.) FIFTEENTH DAY. SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1869. TESTIMONY OF PATSEY SCOTT. I don't know my age, exactly; I came from Knoxville, Tennessee, with Judge Scott: he married Miss Sallie Haynes; Judge Scott had six children, four boys and two girls; one of the daughters died, and the other is Mrs. Geo.

Yerger, the mother of E. M. Yerger; I knew the brothers and sisters of Mrs. Judge Scott; she had a sister and brother crasy, and a brother had two sons crazy; the brothers who were crazy were named Richard and Stephen; their father was named Dickey Haynes; the father of Dickey Haynes went to his batter's shop one morning, and at dinner--which he had regularly at 12 o'clock at his sister's house --he did not bring his pet dog with him; his sister asked him where the dog was: he said he had made a hat out of it; so she sent a boy to see what he had done with it, and they found that he had sewed the dog up in a bag and had put it in a kettle of ooze. He did divers other things; he would fight and tear up things he could come across; he would go round to the neighbors' houses, stripped, and they had to confine him some ten or twelve days; they afterward let bim go where he wanted, with a boy following behind him; but they had to confine him; they had to chain him down, and his hands were handcuffed; when he went about with a boy following him, he had a straight-jacket on; I don't know when hedied; he was sent to Kentucky to the Asylum; Mrs.

Scott had a sister deranged; how they discorered that, was: she got up one morning from the breakfast table; the cook-woman had a baby, and the lady went out and picked up the child put it in the fire; she did'nt do much of anything else, for they put her in a straight jacket; she got violent, and they could nt do anything with her, and they fastened her up in a room: Mrs. Judge Scott was my old mistress; Ialways thought she was deranged; she did things to me that no one would have done except a deranged person; she never had reason to give me a cross word, and I never had trouble, and vet she would sometimes take me and give me 20 or 30 lashes, and afterward she would come to me and say she was sorry, and she did'nt know what she had done it for. Her folks all believed she was crazy; she had a way of sitting down in company, and then she would slip off, and they could not find her till next morning; she had these spells regularly till we were brought here to this country; she died out here. Two sons of Dickey Haynes were crazy; one got killed in a crazy spell, on account of a young lady; the other one did'nt do anything except. go about the street; they put him in a tight jacket, and he died in his tight jacket; that was Stephen.

I came to this country with Mrs. Judge Scott; she lived with Mrs. George Yerger, in Vicksburg, and died there; she had two or three spells after she came out here, and died in one of them; she used to get so she could not move, and she was hallowing and screaming; and she would never let any one come round her but me; I was there when she died. By Judge Advocate: I came from Knoxville, Tennessee; I don't know how long since; I have been here some 14 or 15 years; I am older than the prisoner; Mrs. Sally Yerger, the mother of the prisoner, was the daughter of Mrs.

Judge Scott; there were four brothers to Mrs. Yerger. Richard Haynes was the brother by Mrs. Judge Scott I know he was crazy; he was not grey; he was quite a young man when he went crazy; he was lately married the first time that he went crazy; I knew of my own knowledge the condition of these persons; I was waiting on Richard Haynes two or three times a day; I cooked for them all; I think my old mistress was crazy, just from the way she acted; she would slip away from the company, and any person that has got any sense would not do so. TESTIMONY OF D.

C. HERNDON. I reside in Jackson. I have known prisoner about sixteen months. I became acquainted with him in February 8 year ago.

I met him at the Memphis Commercial Convention; I met him the first day of the Convention on Monday I met him on the street, he came up to me and said, he wanted to see me particularly, he took me one side; he was with several gentlemen; he asked me if I knew Major Severson; he said that he wanted to see him; he seemed to be a good deal agitated or excited. asked him if he and Severson had had any difficulty; he said no, He did not know Severson, but he understood that that fellow Randall had telegraphed to Severson to have him appointed a delegate from Alabama; he also said that Crandall was not an Alabamian, that he belonged to New Orleans. that he was satisfied Randall was coming there to break down his immigration scheme, and interfere with his business, and that he did'nt intend to let him do it. He wanted to see Severson to find out the truth of the despatch. went with him to the Peabody Hotel, but found Severson had not been there; we went to where he usually stopped when he came to Memphis but we did not see him.

Col. Yerger asked me to go to the Overton Hotel at 4 clock. 1 went but he was not there. Istarted down the street with a gentleman in a buggy, and saw him coming up the street. I got out and went up the street with him; he told me he had not been to dinner, he wanted to see me.

I told him I would wait in the office till he got. his dinner: he said no, I must go with him, he had a book in his hand which he handed to me to read and he insisted un my going with him. He said he wanted to see me particularly, and he was afraid we would not meet any more, and I went to the dining-room with him. Whilst there a gentleman came to the same tahle. I noticed Col.

Verger looking at him very straight, and in a very peculiar way; as soon as he got up from dinner, he said he believed it was that man Crandall; now he is here, said he, I will know what he is going to do, he shall not interfere with my affairs. I went to his room with him, and suppose I spentan hour there: he read to me there the headings of his immigration scheme, as he called it, and asked me what I thought of it. We had some conversation about it; I told him that I thought that to present it properly to the Convention he would have to get over his excitement; my remark was to quit drinking; he told me that he was not drinking, and that he had only taken three drinks during the day. I saw him almost every day, during the week of the Convention aftor that. He spoke of this immigration scheme in very glowing terms; his language was, that it was one of the grandest schemes that was ever conceived by the mind of man, and he asked me what I thought of it.

I said I thought a great difliculty in it was that it would require great deal of money ty pup it in operation, and did not see where he could get it. He said he could get as much money as he wanted; that there wag a Boston banker that would let him have all the money he wanted: he oould get a million of dollars if necessary; he read to me a letter, said it was from this Boston banker; I did not see any proposition in it about money; I left him there; I think I methim next day in the convention; he seemed very anxious to offer resolutions which the minutes of the convention will show; he was up frequently; I met him on Wednesday, I think in company with Col. Sale, his uncle, E. M. Yerger, of Memphis, and some other gentlemen, I don't recollect who, I knew them all at the time; I spoke to them; Col.

Yerger was leaving them as I walked up, and he said he did'nt wish me to leave till'he saw me; said he, I want to see you particularly; he went into the pigar store that we were standing in front of, and Col. Sale remarked, "'That man is going to challenge his uncle;" I looked around, but did'nt see that any one seemed to be excited at all; Mr. Verger, of Memphis, was standing there Col, Yerger walked into the cigar store hurriedly, and was writing on the show-case for some time; I asked what was the difficulty, and was told that they had fallen out about a pistol. Col. Yerger came out of the cigar store, handed Col.

Sale a paper, and said, you will deliver that to that man. Col. Sale left me then, and Yerger took me back into the cigar store; Colonel Sale and Mr. Yerger, of Memphis, came into the cigar store, and Col. Sale handed the paper to Edward Yerger, of Memphis; he read it out and put it in his vest pocket.

I remained with them some little time, and then left I saw him again, I don't remember; met him almost every day, unless it was on Friday. The last time I saw him was on Saturday morning; I met him in company with Col. Galloway, and Col. Sale, and Edward Yerger, of Memphis, and two other gentlemen I did not know; he asked me then if I had heard of Crandall's denouncing him on the street; said I had; he asked me what he had said; told him, said he, I met him at the hotel, and I insulted the dam'd scoundrel, and he did'nt resent it, and now he has got on the train and is gone. I with him some half hour; he was talking in a very excited way, and Col.

Galloway, ocming up, took me off and said, what are you quarreling about He then took me off and told me about the difficulty. He was very much excited every time I saw him whilst I was there. On the last morning he appeared much more so than during the week; I thought his mind was very unsettled; he was very much excited and his talk was very extravagant on everything; while at Memphis, I saw him take three drinks, I think, and that wine; I mentioned there, and after I came home, that I would not be surprised if Col. Yerger never came home, that I believed he was deranged; I recollect particularly mentioning it to Col. Hamilton.

By Judge Advocate: I last saw the prisoner at Memphis, on Saturday morning, the week of the Convention; it was the week beginning the 17th May; I saw prisoner almost every day, but not frequently; do not know to what extent he drank; I advised him to quit drinking because my impression was, from his excitement, that he was under the influence of liquor; I thought afterwards his excitement arose from other causes than drinking liquor; this man Crandall's digpatch seemed to excite him greatly; he seemed to think that Crandall was coming to break him down before the Convention; I thought he was drinking; he was not at all drunk; he did not stagger; he was so much excited that I attributed it to the use of liquor; and the knowledge of the dispatch seemed to irritate him; he read that immigration scheme to me; thought there were great difficulties for want of money; if he had as much money as he desired, there was nothing wild or visionary in it; he said he thought he could get a million dollars to carry out the scheme; the letter of the Boston banker was written in rather mysterious language, and requested Col. Yerger to say nothing of the scheme; it did not enter upon the merits of the scheme particularly; it said they would organize at some future time; there was no offer of money in it so far as Mr. Yerger read it to me; I left Memphis on Sunday night, and reached Jackson on Friday following; I spoke of this occurrence, I think on Saturday morning as well as I recollect; it WaS the first time I met Col. Hamilton; he took me aside and asked me what had become of Col. Yerger; he said that his property had been levied on here, and that his family were in great distress, and asked me when I thought Col.

Yerger would be home; I replied, that I would not be surprised if Col. Yerger never came home, that I believed he was deranged; I did not know what his derangement procoeded from; this immigration was the most important thing before him, and he seemed to be very much excited about it, and seemed to think that any one who said anything about it in the Convention, or out of it, was making some attack upon his prospects; I did not believe him to be under the induence of liquor at any time after the first day; I do not know how much he drank during his stay in Memphis; I saw him at no time after leaving Memphis until after the homocide: when I met him first in Memphis, my conclusion was that he had been drinking. and I told him so; that he could not pursue his scheme properly before that kind of Convention under his state of excitement; that he ought to quit drinking, get cool, and to study his subject. He assured me that he was not drinking, that he had only taken three drinks that day. The next time that I saw him, that made any impression on me, was when he was writing that note of challenge to his uncle that made an impression on me as something very remarkable.

The last time I saw him was after he had had the difficulty with Col. Crandall; he was unusually excited for a sane man; I don't know whether he had been drinking or not; the morning of the affair with Crandall, I only saw him take a glass of wine; his excitement, actions and manners at that time produced the impression upon me that he was deranged, and 1 so told Col. Hamilton when I got here; I did not look upon it at that time as the result of intoxication; I do not know if he had been drinking; he appeared to be very much excited and denounced Crandall bitterly. By the Commission: When I made the remark to Col. Hamilton, that I believed Col.

Yerger was deranged, and would not come back, it was my candid opinion. CANTON, June 24, 1869. At a called meeting of Canton Lodge, No. 28, A. F.

Joseph Kelly, who was shot on Thursday evening, at the registration office, by Police Captain Callahan, died this morning. His death creates much feeling in the city. he having been held by three policemen, while Callahan, who had a personal feud with Kelly, shot him. Kelly was Vice-President of a Seymour and Blair club, during the campaign, and Callahan was an ex-Confederate officer, who had charge of a Confederate prison daring the war, and since joined the Republican party. Callahan, who was bailed to-day, was re-arrested.

It is stated on tolerably good authority, that Grant never asked Hoar's opinion regarding the political status of Georgia, and Hoar has certainly taken no steps towards preparing such an opinion.

From the Meridian Mercury. Contrary to our expectations, and, we may say, our fears, the Convention of the right wing of the Radical party of Mississippi, called for the 23d, was well attended, and altogether a respectable body of the sort. The negro element in the Coavention comprised the best men of the race to be found in the localities from whence they come, and are said to be earnest and zealous in the cause they have espoused. From the force of circumstances, the real white men of the country will probably be thrown with this faction in choosing the lesser of two evils, and therefore, all of their movements have an interest for 11S. For that reason we append the set of resolutions adopted by the Couvention.

The success of this bold strike of the Moderates should convince the Radicals of Lauderdale and Clark counties, who have recently held county Conventions, that they have made a blunder in not uniting with the movement. If they are wise, they will lose ne time in putting themselves in line with them, otherwise, they may fail of being in at the a division of the loaves and tishes. We hear that Norvell was at Jackson, and expressed a willingness to submit his claims for position to the authorized arbitrament of the party. Jim and McKee were flying around among the negro delegates to Convention trying to unsettle them in their firm convictions of right and duty, and to win them over to the Extremists. We are happy in the belief that their efforts were unavailing.

THE TRIAL is progressing slowly. The examination of witnesses for the defense commenced on Monday. Our reports have indicated the direction it has taken. It is not probable the case will be concluded soon. or FEVER AND AGUE TONIC, DR.

Cabellero De Rodas, who succeeds Dulce as Captain General of Cuba, took so active a part in the Spanish revolution that when Queen Isabella was dethroned he was promoted to a Lieutenant Generalcy. The subsequent Republican disturbances in Spain were put down by him in a manner so brutal, that he has the reputation of a bold, bloody, bad man, but an officer of great energy and military skill. He is simply a soldier, and is likely to pay little respect to law when it stands in the way of his purposes.

READ THIS AND Letter from Maj. J. T. Hester, of Ala. AUBURN, April 4, 1869.

MESSRS. JOHN DARBY 161 William N. Y. GENTS: -I have received so much benefit from "Darby's Prophylactic Fluid," that I feel it my duty to let you know it. I bad an attack of Typhoid Fever, and with it a most stubborn case of Erysipelas, and was confined to my bed near two months, suftering the most intense pain all the time from Erysipelas, and after exhausting the many prescriptions of my physician.

finally commenced the use of Darby's Prophylactic Fluid, and soon found that I was being improved by its use, and continued to use it, and am nearly well. I consider it the most valuable medicine for the diseases and purposes for which it is made that is sold. I also used it most successfully on my little son who was severely burnt, and I do assure you that it was from this medicine alone that I could get any relief from my distressing attack of Erysipelas. do not write you this as a certificate for publication, but as a duty that I feel I owe to Prof. Darby and his invaluable medicine.

I shall never be without it again if I can by any possible means get it. I hope you are succeeding, and will make a fortune. Very truly yours, J. T. HESTER.
