General Babcock and 1 arrived here two days ago.
.So many contradictory reports have been circulated
in regard to Governor Clayton's militia that it may
be well lor you to know the facts in the, case. The
present State government was certainly in some
danger previous to the Presidential election. Sena
tor Barker had been shot and wounded badly; Up
li um , of the lower House, wounded, and Hinds and
McCand, a Freedmen's Bureau agent, killed, aud
other agents and a United States marshal driven
Irom their posts by threats. Tho Governor, Sona
tor Klce, and others, had to sleep In the State
Ilouse under guard, lor fear of assassination.
The Governor wisely retrained from taking any
violent measures until alter tho election, fearing
the opposition might make capital out of it. As
toon an the election was over, however, he organ
ized a militia lorce ot about eight Hundred men,
ne-iourth colored, under Ueneral Uatterson, In
the southwest, and (.'pham iu the northeast, with
rders to live ott the country, taking what was ab
solutely necessary and giving vouchers. His in
tention is to pay all loyal holders of vouchers and
no others. Two assassins nave aireauy been exe
cuted by sentence of a military commission, seven-
een others are in prison, ami a great nuiuoer nave
been run out, of the State. Hut the best result I
can see is the disposition of nearly all business
men to voluntarily enroll themselves as a posse,
nlcducd to assist the sueritl's t
to arrest lawless cua-
racters if the Governor will relieve them from
martial law. He has accepted many such pledges,
and martini law now exists in parts of but seven
counties.
The entire conservative wing of the Republican
party were opposed to the declaration ol martial
law, including General Smith, IT. S. A., command
ing the troons in the State. They admitted the
reign of terror established by the rebels, but wanted
the LUiieu otaies troops 10 muuc me hi reran, gov
ernor Clayton's arguments in favor of his policy
are nil lunacies. The uuiteu states troops uo not
know the people and the country. 1 he lawlessncs
we have while the United States troops are iu the
vicinity, and it breaks out worse than ever when
they leave. The rebels are generally anxious to
nave tiicm, as u creates an uxpunuuure oi money
in their inidbt, from which they reap a beneilt. The
militia punishes all the disloyal, and extorts
pledges from them to support the laws.
As these people have threatened to break up the
State government as soon as the United States
troops are removed, this tearhes them that the
State Is able to protect itself. The militia has been
under tolerably cood control, and tuo plundering
reported in the press is tho taking of supplies under
orders. One negro militiaman committed a rape on
a white woman, but was immediately arrested by
General (Jatterson, who seems to be a very good
man tripil. nnuvle.ttd. mid Dromittlv executed.
The Governor's policy has no doubt seriously in
terfered with business where martial law has been
proclaimed, and injured business men ot all par
ties. Hence the opposition from loyalists. It has
interfered with travel, taken oil bauds for the
militia at a season when they are badly needed,
aud created niauv panics. It, however, has ac
complished much more good than the most san
guine expected; and General Smith acknowledges
that he thoughtthe Governor's judgment was better
than his own, and that the result would fully justify
the action of the former. The Governor is now dis
posed to relieve each county from martial law as
soon as it can safely be done. The Governor is cer
tainly a man of intelligence and nerve, and has
labored under difficulties that would have deterred
a less abie officer. Four thousand arras were seized
by the Kuklux and thrown oft the boat below Mem
idiis. He could seldom secure cood men fur otlices
and in the eastern counties he had to depend en
tirely upon negroes lor soldiers. .

Accident to fjrm W. Field.
Nfw Yokk. Jsn. 7. Mr. Cyrus W. Field
visi'ed his country place at Irvlngton, ou the
North river, yesterday, In company with au
engineer and arobltect, for the purpose uf lay
lug out Improvements for the coming season.
The ground was covered with frozen snow, and
Justus Mr. Field and Mr. Ignatz A. Pelott., ot
me c entral rars, oegan to aesoenu a mil zoo or
S00 ftet high, both men slipped and slid to the
bottom wlih great velocity, striking against a
tree. Mr. Pelott was able to return borne in
the cars, but Mr. Field was more seriously In
jured. He was placed In a sleigh, and brought
to tne city. At nrsiiiwas ieareu mat ne uuu
sustained Internal injuries, but to-diy he Is
mucu better.
Acclimatization of Tar-rots iu England.
Once a Week Bays Mr. Charles Buxton, M.
P., in a paper on the acclimatization of par
rots (which he read to the British Association
excursionists to Northreppa Hall, Norfolk),
Las shown that with due care parrots may b
bred in England, notwithstanding Mr. Dar
win's views to the contrary; and some of the
facts recorded are interesting in more than
one point of natural history. At one time
nearly fifty parrots might be seen about the
grounds of Northrepps Hall; the number is
now reduced to twenty-four, the roduction
being mainly due to the guns of theii enemies
whenever they left home. Unfortunately,
they are occasionally seized with a desire to
see the world, and will then take a flight to a
distance of ten or fifteen miles, or even more,
and fiem these flights the flock seldom re
turns in its original force. In one case a
flock flew to a place full twenty-five miles
away, and eleven of them were shot. Tne
history of their breeding is thus described by
Mr. Buxton:
'A pair of cookatooa led the way by most
unsuccessfully attempting to make a nest in
one of the chimneys; before it was half fin
ished it gave way, and the nest and oockatoos
fell to the bottom. It being summer time,
they were only discovered after spending a
day and a night amongst the soot, and when
they were brought out they looked like two
dwarf chimney-sweeps." Nothing daunted
by this catastrophe, they made a next attempt
in a box which had been bung outside the
gables of the house, with the hope that it
would be thus used. Two eggs were laid
and carefully sat upon; but, alas ! the eggs
turned out addled. Then oame a pair of
green parrots, which, making their nest in
a box, succeeded in bringing up one
young one; but long before it was fledged
it was cruelly murdered by a cockatoo.
"The year alter," says Mr. Buxton, "this
pair bropght up two children; and it was
really a beautiful sight to see the family party
flying about, always together, and living on
the most loving terms. But the mother and
her eldest son were both, unhappily, shot."
This must be regarded as the first real success.
Afterwards a common white cockatoo, who
had selected a very large rose-oolored oockatoo
ot a different species for his bride, scooped oat
a nest in the rotten branch of an aoauia tree,
and this pair brought up two lire young birds;
and the following year they repeated tbe ex
periment even more successfully, and brought
up three young ones, thus making up a family
party of seven. Unfortunately, when the next
bretdirg season occurred (the past summer)
the old birds found their nest preoccupied by
a pair of grey parrots, which kept possession
and brought np two young birds. These are
the only cases of breeding mentioned by Mr.
Buxton.
