COMMUNICATED.
TO THE PEOPLE OF TENNESSEE.

have been thinking for years that something
could and ought to be done for the protection of
game in our beautiful country, and unless steps
taken in the matter, will wake up to the sub
ec when it is too late for the fish fast failing
in the smaller streams and the birds are being
swept from our fields and woods; while if proper
steps taken at present. in ten years Tennessee
would be of the most, if not the most, interest
ing country for game in the world. The thousands
of small streams that thread our country in every
direction every way suitable for the raising of
fish, and in point of latitude have the advantage of
all countries either north south of US. If you go
far south of u.s. the water in the small streams be-
comes too warm and unhealthy during the summer
months and further north there is too much frost in
the winter and the raising season is too short. So
that is the very latitude for the multiplication
and growth of the fnny tribe.
As to birds, Tennessee ought to be the home of
birds. We have the finest forests in the world,
which is their natural home. In prairie countries,
nothing could be done to protect them long; but in
Tennessee, nothing but wicked abuse of this bles
sing of heaven will drive them from our fields and
forests, while very little protection would soon
make this country the land of birds.
With respect to fish, it is known to all who have
thought the subject at ALL that the small streams
are nurseries of fish, and that if they are driven
from the creeks and branches, or destroyed, they
will soon fail in the large streams. 1t is for spawn
ing or raising purposes that they ascend the small
streams in the spring of the year, and it is the
mother fish that ferret their way up these small
branches till they find quiet soft water, gently
warmed by the sun; here they deposit their spaw
and watch it for a while, during what is called the
cerculing season; here the parent fish, with moth
ers vigilance, hang around the spot where the egg
is deposited until the the spaw comes forth. This
is the habit of almost all our game fish, viz our
river salmon, jack fish, pike, valley trout, google
eye perch silver perch, brim and channel cat, with
a great variety of smaller fish. The red-horse and
different varieties of suckers also up into very
small streams but don't remain to watch their spaw;
yet the small streams supply the large ones with
fish of this description also. The buffalo, drum and
mud or yellow cat do not up the small streams,
but confne themselves for the purpose of raising
their young to small rivers or large creeks, or ex-
tensive bars or shadows in the navigable streams.
shall in my next notice the abuses by which the
fish have been well nigh destroyed or driven from
our streams. A LOVER OF NATURE.

A SENTENCE WELL DESERVED. - The Criminal
Court of New York has set an example in respect
the Furnishing of incendiaries, which, if universally
followed, will tend to check crime nefarous in
its character, and yet believed to he so common,
when motives of cupidity tempt to its preparation
A man named DENNY who had insurance upon
his store to greater amount than the stock it con-
tanned when the fire occurred, deliberately prepared
to fire it by scattering eamphene and other combus
tibles about the building and then setting them on
fire. Fortunately, the fire was discovered before it
made much progress but the evidences of the crimi-
nal intention were plainly manifest. What made the
act the more enormous for its wickedness, the
fact that several families sleeping in the apart
ments above, whose lives, of course, we're thus de-
iberately endangered by the reckless vany of this
criminal He was indicted, tried and convicted,
and the court sentenced him to ten years imprison
ment in Sing Sing. strict investigation into the
of every fire, prompt trial, and punishment
in proportion to the enormity of the crime, would
tend strongly towards checking species of vilany
which has become too common.

GREE" NEGRoEs.-We find the following para
graph in the Baltimore San. 1t is in substan.
tiation of the principles and of the policy of our
State, which forbids by statute the emancipation Of
slaves:
"The citizens of NanjemOy district, in Charles
county, Maryland, have held meeting and formed
'mutual self-proection association the object of
which is the better government well the amelio-
ration of the wretched de and vicious condition OF
the free cOlOred population of that district. They
have adopted a resolution that every free colored
person living idle life who shall not by the 18th
of July, procure permanent home, shall be sold at
public auction to the highest bidder for the remain
der of the year 1t appears that the farmers of the
district have suffered severely by the dishonesty of
the idle and dissolute portion of the coored popu
lation, and have combined for sef-preservatiOn in
the future"

HON. JOHN V. WRIGHT.

This gentleman, though without opponent is
doing active and efficient service in the canvass. A
friend writing US a private letter from Columbia,
says of him:
One of the most pleasing and note worthy incl
dents Of the canvass in this county the speech
last night OF the Hon. John V. Wright, who, pass
ing through this place fill appointment in Giles
county, was prevailed by our Democratic citizens
70 address them upon the issues now dividing poti-
cal parties in Tennessee He had, as YOU know, a
very high reputation here eloquent DICTATOR;
and some of his friends, though setting high es-
innate upon his abilities feared that he would fail
TO meet the expectations Of those who had never
heard him. But in this they were mistaken. He
not only proved himself worthy Of the high praises
that had been bestowed upon him for elOquence and
beauty of defamation, but he proved more-that he
was familiar with the history the principles, and
the machinery of our government, and that he had
thought and could talk about them like spatriot and
8 statesman.
OF such man as Mr. Wright, his constituents
and the Democracy OF Tennessee may well be proud
for in him they have who is capable of bearing
their banner in any contest, and of filling with
credit to himself and usefulness 10 them any posi-
ton in their gift After hearing Linn | am not sur
prised thar no one could be found in his district
willing to contend with him for his seat in Congress,
nor do doubt the cheering reports which he brings
of large Democratic gains in the counties he has
canvassed, will be fully realized y the election in
August.

the new Governor of Utah, who is to put an end to
the reign of "Brother Brigham" is said to be a
gentleman of the exact type Of character best suited
to that most difficult and responsible post. Con-
versant with all phases of life and experienced in
every degree of fortune, he is admirably adapted
to exercise executive functions in the territory to
which he has been appointed. Col. Cumming was
at one time extensive merchant in Augusta, Ca,
but failed. Removing to st. Louis, he established
himself sutler to the forces stationed at Jefferson
barracks, and was subsequently appointed Indian
agent the duties of which he discharged with great
discretion and judgment

BSsI correspondent of the Know Nothing paper
at Maryville says: 1.-The impression left on the
minds of many by the ingenius argument of Gen.
Harris yesterday in reference to the sale of public
lands, was altogether erroneous. From what he
said, many, both Wings and Democrats think that"
sc. The correspondent then endeavors to remove
from the minds Of the many" 'both Wings and
Democrats" who had thus been impressed with
Gen. HarIis's iugenus argument, what he considers
''altogether roneous."
We want stronger proof of the telling effect of
Gen. Hariss speeches than such admissions as this
from prejudiced opponent. We know that his ar
guments are sound and his facts true, and to know
from such authority this that he is ngenius and
successful in mpressing them upon the minds of his
hearers, is all that we TO know for the present
A few weeks will determine the balance.
