Statement Of Drs. Clopton d MurreU.

We, the undersigned practcing physicians
of Winchester, Franklin county, Tenn, do
hereby certify that we have been practicing
medicine for several years in this county,
and frequently in the coves of the mountains,
and believe that the cause for milk.sick has
long since disappeared, and no danger is to be
apprehended from that source in all time to
come. A. G. CLOPTON, M. D.

In addition to several aflidavits pub
llshed last week, showing the falsity of
the charges of milk-sick against Sc
vance, we this week give the follow
ing statements
From J. =. Co,can.
DE. WALLACE EsTiLL,
DEAR SIR DIR. Cochran, at your request,
called on Inc to-day for my certificate TO prove
the lalslty Of my having contracted with the
boarding masters, during the excavation of
the Tunnel, to keep my cattle enclosed as
preventative fmlk-sckness
do not remember that any such man as
Mr.. Drake ever resided ut the the Tunnel:
but do know that no such contract rs that
alluded to by Warren, in the Nashville Patriot,
ever existed. made no contracts, but sold
my beef and butter to any who wanted il,
and took it, too, from the range, and nv cat.
tie range for the last thirty years has been at
Rowe's Spring, Chat is, my summer range.)
Mr. Drake misses the truth altogether in his
communication to Warren, as to nv havinn
made any contract to secure my customers
against mllk-slckness; and he misses it equal
~ as lar when he says that we consume the
lungs and liver of our hogs by fire to prevent
the dogs from eating them. as they are the
only organs of that animal susceptible to
milk-sick Mr.. Drake, you have made a
discovery. JAMES P. COWAN.
P. 81 may also add that the boarding
masters allowed their cattle to run out. and
milked them from the range without any bad
result. J, p, c..

"This is to certify that am SON.
in-law of JAMES CowAN, and that |
live tn the immediate vicinity Of the
Tunnel, and that | sold beef. butter
and milk, to the hands employed on
the Tunnel, and that my cattle ran
out all the time, and | never knew q
case of milk-sickness at the Tunnel

statement in regard to CowAN keeping
up his cattle as stated by the cores

untrue.

WHAT RAILROADS Do.-In the course
of a recent discussion in the Alabama
House of Representatives, Mr.. Brow.
der asserted that the increase of taxes
consequent upon the increased value
of property caused by the construc.
tion of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad,
amounted annually to more than per
cent. on the State loan of S3OO,OO0 to
that road.
1t cannot be doubted that should the
entire amount Of the capital stock in
the railroads of Tennessee be eventu-
ally sunk-a contingency which can
never happen-the loss would be
largely more than made up by the in.
creased value Of the property pro.
duced alone By the building of the
oads.-Nashuiile DAILY Ners.

Sewanee in "a cholera region-Bah!
Mr.. "Warrcn."
My distinguished friend DR.. WAL
LACE EsTlLL, told me, this day, that no
French gentlemen, or other persons,
ever came to him with letters from
Mr.. MORGAN, Of Nashville, and conse.
quently that he did not caution them
not to buy land without consulting
him, &c. And furthermore, DR.. Es-
TILL is now preparing an article for
the press, which will forever silence
the bleatings Of such men as Warren"
did not propose TO invest the
heights Of Sewanee, with standing
army--said nothing that looked that
way,--but should such an event take
place, and should | be so fortunate as
to be made it's commander in chief, as
| have taken "Warren" under nv
charge, and wish him well, | promise
him, if he will pick up little cour-
age, ! will make him a sergeant in
said army.
tits perhaps fortunate that the pub
fishers Of newspapers and medical
journal can live despite such CORES
pondcnts as "Warren' and the wri-
ter Of this artice--however, that is
their buslness-not ours.
AS to my ability at prescription,
"Warrcn' ought to be competent
judge--lor finding that he was uiliug
on the 18th ult., | took compassion on
him, and on the 22d alt, | prescribed
for him Ia French, which. in plain
English means that | prescribed an
emeto-cathartic for him, the result of
which was that he was soon in the
condition he says Sewanee is in.-"in
bad odor.' And to day. | am pre-
scribing diaphoretc for him, which
will make him sweat worse than one
Of those cows which he ran down to
if she had the milk -sick-after which,
| hope he will convalesce; but should
he not, then | advise him to take, as a
tonic, the proceedings Of the meeting
of the citizens Of Franklin county, in
Winchester, this day, which will ena-
BILE him to bid defiance to milk-sick-
ness, epidcmics, and unappreciated
communities.
And now Mr. "Warrcn,' am tired
OF easy cictor7eS, and shall pay no far
ther attention to your articles-and #
you are the man that was trotting
around here last fall, on little black
horse, | advise you to take the little
black horse, and retire to private life.

a pound-they now sell for four
Sheepskins a year ago sold at 50 each;
they now sell at prices varying from
go cents to 81. Leather in a year has
fallen about l2 cents a pound. Nut.
ton, which last year sold for 8 cents a
pound, now sells for 5 and 6 cents.
Butter was 81 cents; it now sells from
l6 to % cents. Potatos are little
dearer than they We're last winter,

The ch;ld's position and the fathers COM
mand, we're alike cacUl lated to produce alarm
and did produce it. Butthe fathers look was
calm, and kind, and serious, and the child
had invited the lesson, so he had nothing fol
it but to turn bis mind to compliance.
Raising himself somewhat, at length he
made an effort to jump, but his heart failed
him and he drew back further, from the edge
of the drawers.
"Ah, Willy" said his father thou hath nc
faith, try again" Willy thought moment
and perceived the drift Of his fathers EXP sri'

at this time he did make the spring, but sc

he would have fallen but Tor a beam of the
ceiling, Just above him, on which be claeped
his hands and recovered himself.
His father smiled aud said, "Willy, thou
hast no faith yet; but that was better thar

The look OF quiet love in his fathers face
and his still open arms, at length assured oul
hero there really was no danger; or it may be

it may, this time little Willy stood bold up
right and jumped into his fathers arms.
He looked up with smile; and his fathel
seeing him en- the floor, said, there, Willy
that was faith. There is he gulf between

BURNING OF THE COURT HOUSE IN
KoscIUsKo. We are credibly informed that
strong suspicious are entertained by the peo-
pie Of Kosciusko against a person who has
been citizen for many years, as having
robbed and set fire to the Court House in
that town. He Is represented as being a
man void of principle and honesty, and al
though be has reared family in the village,
he has never been known to perform any la
Dor for the support of said family; and rs be
is without properly or any visible means o.
support, and regarded as a swindIer and
gambler, and his present change of Circum
stances and pethoric purse, has given rise
to the suspicion that be is the identical ind
vidual who robbed and set fire to the Court
House. He is also suspected of being con-
neeted with gang of horse thieves, who are
prowling about in this and the State of Al
ALBANIA. If such be true we hope the citizens
will deal with the dastardly rascal according
to his merits. Hanging would be too good
