i" Trutn Stranger tOan Fiction

, -VcssrS Editors How of:en do we meet
With this remark in the public prints, and
yet how little do we realize that this is in.
deed a fact. While fiction, with her i'm
aginary tales Of human suffering and mis-
cry is creating sensation that is felt
throughout nation the plain realities as
they occur around us, in every day life,
scarcely elicit remark, or arc considered
hardly worthy Of notice.
How many tender hearts have been
wrung with anguish, and how many bright
eyes have J2cu dimmol with tears, Will.
pouring over the suieriagS and want which
have had an existence only in the inayin-
alton Of some popular author while real
objects ofSympathy have been turned away
without the needed charity, or have SUITE. =
cl unaided and uncarcd for, within hailing
distance Of those same bright eyes and ten
der hearts.
That truth is some times stranger than
fiction, il, Il fact, when of itself fconsilered
not altogether a very strange thing. Nor
W"ull wc find it Of unfrequcnt occurr nee
were VIC to examine with an observing eve,
the lanes and by-ways,-tho shanties ind
novels of every day life, instead Of seek
!ng Tor scenes Of commiScration ONLY in
the mnltipli'le pages of popular literature.
That the remark referred to above, is in.
deed tact, we have had demonstrated bv
case of destitution and want in our very
midst, which has lately come to light, and
which has aroused the sympathy of the
whole community.
Who could have imagined that meth
er, with two small babes, would have suf-
Tered for two long days without tasting
food, IN a community where there is bread
enough for all, and charity enough to dis
tribute it. And yet such is the CASE.
Here might be written a tale that would
prove the correctness Of this remark, and
possibly Interest the most ardent lover of
Fiction, but / forbear, and will give only
the outlines, leaving it for some more pro-
Life pen to write out the details.
Among the many rowing advcnturers
which the Mexican War drew to that un-
happy country, was a man from our own
vicinity. There he saw-became enamor-
ed of-and iinnlly succeeded in winning,
one of the dark-leaturcd daughters of the
old Castillian race. With the str no and
ardent attachment and the enthusiastic
impulse of her race, she gave not only her
hand and heart, but her gold, also, to the
keeping and protection, of one of her
conntry's northern invaders. With him
sac consented to leave her parental ,ooi
and early acquaintauccs, to find home
in strange land, among strangers, whose
language she could not speak. A life Of
Iidlcness and dissipation soon left them in
destitution and want; and thus has she
lived, and uncomplainingly suffered and
endured, until at last, abandoned and lcf,
destitute by husband and father, unwor-
thy the name, her yearning heart turned
again to her early home, where mothers
fond embrace and happy smile awaited
her return.
When her situation and wishes became
known, food and clothing were abundant
ly supplied, and in due time means were
supplied to take her again where she can

IHE Cnors.-A gentleman who has lust
returned from Western tour SAYS that
the Wheat crop in Western Michigan is
suffering very much from the dcprcdations
Of the fly and w Il be likely to prove a
failure In the Northern part Of Illinois
and Southern Wisconsin the promise is
fair for a fair yield.
a private letter from q friend in Men
dota, Illinois, speaking of grain says -
+" We are paying almost famine prices
Com &c, Oats Ace, Wheat (Spring) ST.
oO. High figures for this distance from
market. We have an abundance of corn,
old crop and the new one looks we'll,
and almost twice the amount plan ed and
sowed of Corn, Wheat and Oats over anv
former year. Farmers are making all the
money now. Flour retails here at $40 to
$l0,o0; Potatoes ST., and everything in
proportion.'
In this vicinity we hear some complaints
hat the fly has made its appearance among
the Wheat; but those fields which have
come under onr observation look remark
ably well. Though Wheat is not vet out
OF danger from the destroyer, vet there is
little use in people worrying themselves by
apprehcnsions of evils that may possibly
never nc happen. SO far, things looks well.
The abundant rains have helped grass with
out serious injury to the other crops. Tie
Corn OF the frarie has been submerged,
and the fields are still to wet to allow til.
llage. But if the weather should remain
ldry now 1t would not be long before the cul-
tlHator and the hoe might be used, and
there will be plenty of use for those useful
institutions" The prospect of abundan,
crops tends to reduce the length and in.
crease the breath OF the public face and in.
duce, with right thinking persons, a spiri,
of thankfnlness. A German friend, when
appealed to the other day, for some proper
mode of giving general expression to
this grateful feeling, replied characterter.

THE RIGHTS OF ScHoOlMAsTHns AND Pt-
RANTs.-A case Of considerable interest
was tried before justice L1id, Of Cam
bridge, on Saturday. \ citizen Of N5wtor
was complained Of for an assault upon the
master of school at that pace. Ii ap-
peared that the master was intna habi,. as
IS now the general custom, of keeping the
child of defendant with other sch liars, ar-
ter school hours, to learn her lessons, which
had been imper!ectly recitei during school
hours. The parent believing that the de-
tention was illegal, went to the school
house and demanded his child. This was
after regular school hours. The master
said that the child should go as soon as she
had recited herlessoa. Tie parent attempt
ed to enter the school room to take his
child, bnt his entrance was resisted BY the
master. and the assault upon the master
was the result. The Court ruled that the
keeping of child until the lessons of the
day had been perfected, was legal that
the parent in attempting to enter the school
room, in opposition to the will of the mas
ter, was in the wrong that a child placed
at school by the parents, is under the CON
troll Of the master until regularly dismiss
ed and that parent cannot withdraw
the child from school during the day
against the masters will, except through
the intervention Of all o!ficeran the school
committee. The defendant WAS tinel $50

a Last card"-LOOk cut Americans

An active, vigilant and highly intelligent
member of the American party in East Ten
nessee, in private letter which has been po-
litely shown to US, gives most encouraging
account of the prospects of our cause in that
division of the State, confidently predicting
large gain to GENTRY as compared with the
result two years ago, and ACIDS the following,
to which we solicit the earnest attention of
every American:
"The anti American party are becoming alarmed,
and show more Of desperation than have ever
known them to do. They are now Boosting of GER
tain documents which are soon to come to hand
from Nashville, which will ruin GENTRY, they
say. know they are expecting some such thing !;
for they have made arrangements for distributing
them. Our friends at Nashville would do well to
look into this matter. They have last card, y"
SC, &C.
What the character of this "last card is,
we cannot imagine. But the fact that it is
apparently to be played upon the eve of
the election, when it may be too late TO meet
it in many localities, with reply of any sort,
TO refute, explain, or contradict it, is sufficient
TO render it harmless in the estimation of all
intelligent voters In the absence Of any in
formation of the contents of any such publ
cation as that Indicted by the writer of this
letter, we can merely warn our friends to keep
a sharp lookout for all such new-fedged doc
uments, issued too late TO be subjected 10 the
test of scrutiny and discussion. If they con-
tain nothing aeO, they will be innocuous, be-
cause already rated at their proper value. If
they introduce new topics, and make new
charges, the conclusion is irresistible that they
have been withheld until 50 late an hour, be-
cause they would not bear investigation. In
either event, therefore, they should be prompt
ly repudiated and diseredited. Look out for
frauds, tricks, and iInpositiOns, in whatever
form they may appear. Look out, Americans,

Az Exams oF BREADS

| An Exodus OF BREADsTUFFs.-The Atlanta
InteGigencer notices that on the 18th there
were one hundred cars loaded with wheat at
Chattanooga, ready to move, and the depot
crammed to its utmost capacity. Two trains
q day arrive at Chattanooga, by the Nashville
road, and it was estimated on the 18th that
there were stored in that town 10000 bushels
of wheat exclusive of that in store by the Ga.
road. From Chattanooga down to Etowah,
the depots are all full to bursting On the 9th
there were received at Calhoun 1900 bushels,
and the hands could not knock off their load
ing till IL o'clock at night. Maj. Young, the
Agent, of Calhoun, thinks that from his depot
alone, lie will ship 100000 bushels during the
season. On the 18th, five full trains came
down, and it was estimated that each car con-
tanned $50 sacks.
The rush of this description of freight has
been unprecedented, caused, as we learn, by
the offers of New York Mers to give $l.25
for all wheat delivered at Depot by tie 10th,
and at Charleston and Savannah, by tie 18th
of this month.

Shaking on Wednesday Might.

There was another large gathering of the
American party on Wednesday night at the
Court House. We regret that the crowd was
disappointed in not hearing from Col. 10. G.
PICKETT, of Smith county, who had been an
nounced to speak. He was not present-cir-
cumstances rendering it impossible for him to
get here. But the time was well filed up,
nevertheless. Eloquent addresses were made
by JNo. A. MoEwEN, ESD, L. NJ. TEMPLE, Esq,
WIN. N. BLBo, Esq, JNo. G. FEReUsoN, Esq,
and VIM. G. BRIEN, Esq. The best sort OF
feeling prevailed, and no one could doubt, after
observing the scintillations on that occasion,
that the fires are brightly burning.
Americans stand by your arms, and the
day is won beyond the possibility of doubt.
