The "LUmber'' IN Single Tree-It was
called the Fremont Pine, and was situated
about fourteen miles east of Placerville, near
the emigrant road. It's history and proper
tions are thus skectched by the San Francisco
Herald:
In circumference, two feet from the ground,
it measured twenty-nne feet, or nine feet in
diameter.
At the commencement of the rainy season
last autumn, Levin Payne and I. A. Dimitt de-
termined on cutting it down, for the purpose Of
working it into shingles. 1t was chopped off
only two feet from the ground, as there was no
diminution in size for fifty feet upward. AS
many men as could work around it; chopped it
off in two days. Seven men commenced ope-
ratons upon it, and have continued, with but
little interruption, the entire winter and spring.
The first eight feet, though perfectly sound,
was not worked, in consequence of its being a
little eaty or cross grained. Above this, eight
cuts were taken, Of eight feet each; and at this
distance, of seventy feet from the stumb, it was
seven feet eiaght inches in diameter. From
these eight cuts, five hundred shakes, four long
by six inches wide, and two hundred and TWEEN
ty-ive thousand sixteen inch shingles have
been made by irving and shaving, and without
the loss of timber. Three more eight feet cuts
will easily make forty thousand shingles more,
but with some little loss of timber there being
a few small Cry limbs in the last cut. This will
make in all two hundred and sixty-fve thousand,
the price they brought at the stump, and we
have no less a sum than $3.50 for shingles
alone, besides shakes, rails and fence post
The entire length Of the tree was two hundred
and thirty feet. 1t may be asked by the ''old
folks at home" how we managed to saw into
blocks tree that, when lying upon the ground,
i is two feet higher than most mems heads
We answer, that it is chopped into on both cuts
eight feet long; these are then split with pow
der and quartered; and then sawed into sixteen
inch single blocks. Itmay seem to some like
another California story, and so it is, but it is,
nevertheless, true. We have seen Ii, measured
it and can test to the facts as regards its size.

TIE Election of ,S,nat9r.--The Legislature
of the State which viii convene in Nashville
one month hence, will have delicate and diff
cult task to perform, in the election of Sena-
tor to fill the vacancy occasiOned by the expi-
ration of the term of Hon. JOHN BELL.
To say nothing about the constitutional scru-
pies by which the Governor elect of the State
processes to be controlled, in regard to the old
universal custom Of the State-the election Of
Senators by joint vote of the two houses of the
Legislature-we see, or think we d. that diff
culties of very delicate and embarrassing ma
ture are likely to arise between members Of the
wing party and their peculiar friends of the Leg
isature.
We set out with the remark, that during the
tendency of the late election the name of the
Hon. JOHN BELL was the only one used in con-
nection with that distinguished position, and
that he may without disparagement to others
be said to be the oldest, the abest, one of the
best, and certainly the most distinguished man
of the party in Tennessee; and inferior IN tai
ents and Just distinction to no man now living,
as statesman.
While, Therefore, we are willing to recognize
the Just claims of others, we think we do but
speak the voice OF public opinion throughout
the State, when we proclaim our unhesitating
preference for that position to be the Hon.
JOHN BELL.
We are aware that we may be, and are alrea-
dy met in some respectable quarters, with the
claims of Maj. HENRY. We do not wish to
combat those claims; for no man has labored
with more zeal and fidelity in the wing ranks,
than he has; we would willingly see the gallant
Senatorial robes But we do not at present see
how his friends can urge his claims against
those of Mr. Bell, without seriously endanger-
ing the permanent prosperity OF the whig par
ty, not only in Tennessee but troughout the
Union Franklin Review.

1as~ The Circuit Court of Bradley county
has been in session during the present week
Judge KEITH presiding We were present on
Monday and Tuesday, but no important suits
we're tried. The men who have been laying
in Jail for some time under the charge of conn
ferteiting, were brought into the Court House
for trial. but continued their suits until the next
term on account of the absence of some wit
nesses. They were much bleached, but of re-
spectacle appearance,-an if it were not that
devilish mean fellows often appear like gentl-
emen, their appearance might probably be in
their favor.
Cleveland is beyond doubt the most pleasant
and agreeable town in East Tennessee. d
numbers among its citizens some of the first
men of this division of the State and is the GEN.
ire of considerable trade We were pleased 20
learn that the citizens have determined to erect
a fine building for the purpose of establishing a
Female School, and that the Brick for that pur
pose are now being made. We know of no
point better suited and more likely to sustain
such school.
Bradley is one of the finest counties in Z.
Tennessee, and there is more grain shipped from
the Depot at Cleveland than any other on the
E. T. & Ga. Railroad. While there, we passed
through the Depot, and Notwithstanding five
Car loads had been sent off that day, very
large amount of grain was still there and more
arriving from the country. Much is due to the
Merchants of Cleveland for this favorable state
of things. They pay money for grain and
thereby throw the money into the hands of the
Farmers, and they become cash customers
This is wise policy that should be pursued by
our Merchants generally, they would soon see
and feel the beneficial results.
The young men of Cleveland have probably
the finest Brass Band to be found in East
Tennessee. They were out on Monday night,
and we thought they performed equal to any
Band we have ever heard.

Danvilfe, Indiana, Aug Is, 1853
Editor Price Current-Dear Sir: In this Sec
ton a good average crop of Wheat has been
saved, and threshers report it of good quality.
The supply of old corn is as good as it gener-
ally is at this season. but the growing corn now
looks as if it would not yield more than half
what it would had the season been favorable
But if the yield should be only half as much as
we ever had in one season before, as nearly, or
quite double the quantity of GROUND has been
planted this season.
Hogs are in abundance; emphatically they
abound, and what is more, they have been well
pastured.
About the price of Hogs hear nothing
There is no enquiry for Hogs to feed.

Editor of Price Current:-In regard to the
quantity, quality, and prices of Hogs in this
section, have to say, after travelling through
some six or eight counties. that we have. per
haps, third more Hogs than last year. and in
asmuch as the prospects for a large crop of
corn is most favorable, | should think the Hogs
would be large and well fatted From all the

THE lSenntor.-The Senatorial question is the

The !Se,aator.-The Senatorial question is the
leading topic of conversation at this time
. among wings. So far as regards individual pref
erences, they cannot agree,-but all seem duly
impressed with the Importance of settling the
question in an amicable manner, which we hope
and believe will be done. The wing party can
not survive many such contests as that which
resulted in the election of James C. Jones'
The difficulties connected with the election of
Senator are all within the wing party and under
its control. We have no fears that the Senate
will refuse to 90 into Convention with the House;
for it cannot do so without violating a special
and positive law, which was passed since the
disgraceful,, action of the "immortal Hirteea,n
prescribing that the election of U. S. Senators
should hereafter be by convention of the two
Houses of the State Legislature. So we need
anticipate no difficulty from this cause. But
by an improper spirit in the advocacy of indi
vidnal claims, we may seal our doom as party-
There can be no danger, however, of this
state of affairs, if the friends Of the different
nspirants will act worthy of their respective IA
vorites, and of the distinguished position sought
to be obtained.
We have heretofore expressed a preference
for the reelection of JoHN BELL. We can see
no good reason why he should be turned out
He has spent life of toilsome research to
qualify himself for the position of influence he
now occupies as an American Statesmen. He
is now not only the most prominent Statesmen
in Tennessee, but among the most prominent
in the Union. He is every where regarded as
safe and reliable, ard would reflect more hon
or upon our State than any man we could elect.
He is far above mere partisan, and has been
to the whig party in Tennessee, what HENRY
CLAY was to the Wing party of the Union-its
founder and ruling spirit.
We belive that a majority of the wings of
Tennessee and of the Union would rejoice to
see Mr.. Bell reelected to the Senate. His name
was used in connection with the Senatorshp
more than any other during the late election
and it was to secure his election that the Wings
were so anxious to carry the Legislature.

Editor Of Price Current:-In regard to Hogs,
| think the number fattened in this and the ad-
joining counties will be larger than last year.
Since the rain corn has come out very much,
and farmers think they will realize fair aver
age crop. Wheat was never better.
The opinion in regard to the price of Hogs
vary from $500 to $500, but some think it viii
be lower than SO co. Old corn is scarce, and
worth 81 90 per barrel; now in the field from
81 Is to 81 So Stock Hogs So 90.
Beef Cattle are high and scarce. 1 never
knew Cattle higher.
l think you may safely say that from this
part of the State there Will be more hogs, but
not as good in quality as heretofore

Friend Smith: Thy favor of the 4th instant
is received and remarks noted. In regard to the
number of Hogs over last season, think, from
what l can learn, there is about oneffth more
than last season; but not in as good order. The
feeders are not looking for as high prices as
those realized last year. Beef cattle, [ think,
one-ffth short of last season. Sheep are also
short
Corn last season was plenty at 20 and 25 cts,
while at present it is scarcer at 40 to 90 cents.
The growing crop in this section will be an av
erage. Wheat is about one-fourth short. Oats
and Grass average crops.
