nFA day or two ago we saw spec
linen of the genuine " Eufum Pear"
which was given to us by David Bui-
fun, of MiddIetown. IL is the most de.
l,ious pear which is raised, and We be-
lieve Mr.. Bulfum is the only one who
has any OF the trees. There are plen-
ty Of Bufium pears, 80 called, in the
market, but they are not genuine. We
wish that our farmers. would turn their
attention to raising Pears, and Purticu.
lary the Bufum the soil and climate
are well adapted to this kind oilrce, and
there is nothing to prevent their -four
ishing. Previous to the great Septem-
Der gale, this Island produced very
large quantity OF excellent frnit (; the
trees were nearly all destroyed at that
time, and little or no attention has been
given to the matter since.
While upon this subject we would al
so suggest to the farmers, on the Island,
to plant large quantities oi ornamental
and shade trees on their premises, par
ticularly on those parts bordering upon
the public and much-trayelled roads
The trees could be placed in or outside
Of the walls, and while they would not
shade the land SO as to injure vegetation
to any extent, they would be valuable
ornament to the farm, and add an in
creased charm to The already delightful
r ides about the Island. Such course
would also very much increase the val
ue OF property, particularly ly with gentle
men from abroad who are SO rapidly
buying land in this vicinity. We know
that our suggestion is good one, and
we trus, that the farmers on the Island
will profit by it, not only for their own
interest, but for that Of the public also.

THE EARTHQUAKE SHOCK At SAN FRAN.
cIsco.-A correspondent of the New York
Sun waiting at A o'clock on the afternoon
of the 18th. snys:-
About haIcpast 8 o'clock this morning,
our city was startled by tho shock of an
earthquake! Men issued from the shaking
houses into the streets in CONSERVATION.
Hundreds were without; mol: and a.onsy,
almost without, clothes. TIE boarders at
Jones' Hotel and the Oriental were al
Breakfast. and so violen, was the shock,
that they rushed from the table into the
street overturning everything in their way.
The wharves trembled like aspen leaves,
and the frame buildings adjoining vibrated
some eight or ten inches. The brick build.
ings were SO violently shaken as to induce
The belief that they would fall to the ground.
The shock lasted but one instant. but that
was long enough to cause the most excil-
ing alarm. The effect seemed TO be from
TO northwest, and was sensibly
relt for distance OF two or three miles.

THE ONE. SIDED CANVASS.

Gov. Trousdale still progresses through
East Tennessee, conducting the canvass
alone. If there was any strength in his
positions and arguments, Judge CampbclPs
interests might suffer. The people OF large
in East Tennessee are better politicians
than in any other country, and unless q
man breaches better doctrine than does the
Governor, he will be amply answered by
the good sense of every voter. 1t is use
less. and even worse than folly, for any
one to argue that the Compromise measures
are not just and proper in themselves, sep.
ara'ely ard collectively. Difficulties Dere
pressing The nation and Congress REMOVED
them. That's the history Of the whole
transaction. That is all we want TO know.
California was overrun with marnuding par
ties, life and property were not safe-Con-
gress gave them a government. Our breth.
rem and friends, and fellow citizens were
there-they deserved protection, and more
but Congress could grant it. We Say that
was right, and should have been DONE
Large numbers Of our people had gone 20
U,ah-,hey wanted government. So did
New Mexico. They deserve the blessings
of civilized life. and so Congress thought.
Texas claimed more territory than New
Mexico thought just. To prevent blood.
shed about question of boundary, Con-
gress paid Texas for her claim, and that
stopped the fuss. Many of the Southern
States prohibit the bringing Of slaves ih'o
their borders expressly for sale. The United
States do not allow the foreign slave trnde.
Congress hns the exclusive control of the
District of Columbia. and they thought they
might pass just such n law as is now in
force in Mississppi-not to let men take
slaves there to sell. A law to recover run.
away negroes was needed, and Congress
passed it.
Now, who is there that believes Con.
gress did wrong in any of these thngs?--
Gov, Trousdalc! East Tennesseenns, wings
and democrats, are in favor of these mea-
sures Just as they stand. We want 10
more ngiation--lio more speech making
Gen. Cass, whom democrats proudly voted
for, in ls4s, helped make the laws, is in
favor of them yet--nnd SC are many of the
best democrats in the Union. Gov. Trous-
dale has broken off from his party-ha
caches q new doctrine, and democrats are
under no obligations TO vote for him.

MORE ANNExATIoN.--The N. Y. Tribune
of the 25,h ultimo, says. We have already
noticed the plot connected in California
between some of the restless adventurers Of
that State and the inhabitants of Sonora and
Lower California 70! taking possession OF
those regions with view 10 their ultimate
annexation 10 the United States.
1t isnow stated that agents OF the Mex''
can Government have arrived in this coun'
try authorized to sell to the United States
those two provinces with chihuahua in nd
di,ion. By this means it is said Mexico
hopes TO recruit her finances, and last q lite
tie longer.
We do not suppose that the present adj
minisration will entertain any such pro-
posals, whether coming from the triumphant
invaders and revolutionis's. or from the
BANKRUPT Government Of Mexico. But Their
refusal is by no mems certain to put the
scheme to rest.

THE CRops.-Perhaps never within the

crop in East Tennessee proved more abun-
dant. And not only is it most abundant.

usual. We trust our farmers will soon
commence bringing it into market, as 1T.

is plenty one can manage TO gctalong with

h. ppen to be any Of the former IN this mar

the latter would prove acceptable.

CORRECTIONAL paragraph recently APP
peared in the Nashville Gazette, aod copied
into the Chattanooga Gazette, stating that
"On Thursday evening, the 18th June
the stage left Athens. Tenn, for Cleveland,
twenty seven miles distant, having a single
passenger, Mr.. G. H. Bracket,e. of Louis
vile. Ky.. inside. After proceeding about
ten or twelve miles, the driver got off ms
box to throw rocks at some dogs. leaving
Mr.. B. inside; when the horses being
frightened by the operations Of the driver,
started full tilt. and ran two miles; till the
left leader ran against The fence at slight
turn of the road, and brought all up stand
ing. And the passenger perfectly safe' got
out, solitary and alone. to thank his stars
that he was unnjured."
We are authorized by the contractors
three Ct whom reside at this place. to say
that the statement of Mr.. c. H. Bracket'e.
of Louisville. is false, and that no such in
cident occurred on their line. Strict IN.
auiry has been made. and nothing ELECTED
going to show that any thing of the kind
ever occurred. We know all the contrac>
s,sn,ly discharge any driver who would by
csreles.ness or imprudent driving. place in
Jeopardy the lives or limbs of passengers.
What could have induced c. H. Bracke,.e,
of Louisville, to make such a statement.
and impose it upon the editor Of the Ga
zet,e, we cannot conceive. An individual
OF that name took the Stage here about the
time alleged, and was well treated. The
route from Athens is travelled in the night.
and the most charitable conclusion is. that
he was dreaming, and was entirely indebt'
ed to his Imagination for the very ex'raor'
binary ride he reports to have had. A man
suJiect to such nightmares should never
venture into stage coach after shutdown.
We will add. while on the subject, thai
there is no line in Tennessee that has more
genlemanIy contractors, finer conches' bet
ter horses, or more careful and attentive
drivers.
