THE BATTLE OF KALANTAI
PLAINS.
SECOND DEFEAT ,r THE RUSSIANS,

SECOND DEFEAT IF TIE RUSSIANS.
From The small number of guns or
prisoners taken by the allirs at the Alma
on the 2lst, we infer that their ha alliss)
success amounted to no more than driving
the Russians from their position m the
heights. AT all events, Prince M4ncbi-
koff had managed again TO brinr his
forces into order, and on the 23i Sep,
tembcr, be gave battle to the cling
forces in the plains Of Kalan,ai, on the
river Kalcha. After sangunary en-
gagement, which lasted some hours, the
Russians were totally defeated, and pnr-
sued to their en,renchmen,s before Sevas-
topol. Here they appear 10 have made
third stand. and 10 have again offered
battle 10 the invaders.
From other sources we learn thn! ihc
Russian artillery wss arranged in three
boileries, and that the Russian force was
quite $4,000 men, including fair pro-
pyrlion oil cavalry. The battle cons
nlencrd at l. o'clock in the afternoon

Costly Funerals

A correspondent of the New York
Times mentions one of the yanities
of the day, in large cities especially,
when be says:
"No common man can be quietly
'inurned' at less expense than four
or five hundred dollars. An ordinary
coffin costs fifty dollars, The fee ex-
acted by those wno are regarded as
necessary officers of the gloomy ova-
ton, will amount to a corresponding
sum, and if the family Of the de
ccasedmake the smallest pretensions
10 moderately fashionable life, they
cannot consent that the departed
shall be followed to the grave by
cortege Of less than one hundred
carriages, at cost of FIVE dollars
each, amounting in the aggregate to
the sum of five hundred dollars"

More Direct PRAYING.

however, that the praying should
come off before the election of can
didates. At all events, we commend
the following form of prayer to all
aspirants to Legislative Chaplainoies
1T will hardly be inapplicable twice

Thee not, spare their lives and teach
them to glorify Thy name. Hasten
them to their homes, where. they may
direct their attention to their families
and neighbors. May the people re-
solve to keep them there, and in fu-:
ture elect men of sound morals and

The Farmers Pride.

With much pleasure, we call the

offered TO farming community
of Lincoln, Bedford, and Franklin
counties, by our esteemed and en-
ergetic friend, DR.. ]. p. Dromgoole,
of Shelbyville, he having purchased
the right for the above counties.
A good chunk of a boy, with
two horses, or a yoke of oxen, can
crush corn and cob altogether,
grind good meal, and shell corn.
The Mill is so constructed, that it
cannot get out of order, has no
gear ing, and will last a lifetime,
and is the cheapest machine Of the
kind now before the American pub
lie. 1t can be put up, all COM
pletd, upon your farm, for the s nm of
SIS, or 500 and put it up you rself.
Acco riding TO the most practic cable
agricultural calculations, allowing
a good deal, there is certainly a
saving of one-third of the corn
which is consumed by the farmer
1t is better food for stock, being
healthier and easy of DIGESTION
Your hogs can be fattened with
one-third less corn, and in one
third less time. Your wife's fine
COWS, fed upon this food, will yield
more milk, more and richer cream,
and more good butter. These are
all well attested facts. We are
informed, by DIR. Dromgoole, that
he will have one in operation in
Fayetteville, by the 1st Monday in
and we hope the farmers
will go and look at it and see for
themselves. asst never fails to please
