all closed and business suspended.
We have also received an extra from the
office of the Knoxville Wing, dated Monday
evening, Sept. 4th, with postscript" dated

gloom. The greatest CONSERVATION prevails.
The city is abandoned-night and day, they
are flying in every direction. The Hotels are

and returns to the country instantly. We

dead, or to bury them. All business has near
ly ceased. The publishers of our paper have
left town, and we put this article in this ex-
ira, to notify the public that no other paper
can now be got out. If we are able, or have
hands, we will hereafter issne an extra
Should we fall, we intend to fall at our post.

in visiting the sick, and aiding in the burial

to supply The poor and destitute. with what
they were needing, and send the bills in to
them for payment. Aided by Mr.. Homer, we
were engaged in packing off to them, such as
candles, sugar, tea, crackers, and other neces-
saries. Business OF all kinds is now sus-
pended. w. G. BROWNLOW,
Editor Knoxville Wing. -
