PORK.

We find the following paragraphs
in or Tennessee exchanges, in re-
gard to Hogs and Pork.
The Bristol News of the LIST
quotes pork at Sc, and says:
During the week past the ship
'ments of the hogs from the Viz
ginia Depot at this point have been
only fifteen bundred head, and the
total for the season has not
been half so great as up to the
same time last year. Whether this
is attributable to the short hog
crop in the hog raising districts
west of us, or whether droyers are
holding back for better prices,
We do not know, but have reason
to believe that the former is the true
state of the case. There have
been some lots Of pork offered at
this point by raisers in the vicini-
ty, but little as yet has been sold,
and there seems no disposition on
the part Of buyers to advance the
price. '

John W. White, Of Chattanooga

In addition to the facts relating to |

ing developments from the Southern

the body of a man, whose clothes
bore the mark Off. w. White, Chat

This news reaching Chattanooga,
his friends started in post-haste after
his body, and on reaching Memphis
wrote back that from all the facts
that could be cleaned, White
was certainly dead, and that they
had procured a metallic case for the
Transportation, &c, OF bis remains. In
a few days after the reception of this
intelligence "a letter was received adj
dressed to two gentlemen of this
place purporting to be from an old
acquaintance by the name of Gibbs,
confirming the rumor of Whites
death, and giving it as his opinion
that White had been murdered. al
though the informant said there
were no discernible marks of violence
about the body. The writer further.
more stated that ruffian looking set
of men had held an inquest over the
body, a Justice of the Peace acting
as Coroner, and that the body was
buried in a very rough coffin, in a
grave about three feet deep. ,'s
Immediately upon the reception Of
this letter second one was received
addressed to the Postmaster of tins
place, supporting to be from the Cor.
oner that held the inquest. This
letter was cohfrmatory of the identi
ty and death of White.
After the lapse of several days
the parties that went after White re

A Disagreement between Brethren.

We have The particulars of an ,
awkward affair between two ninis-i
tiers Of the Gospel, which occurred
in this city, on Sunday evening last. !
A visiting minister was invited to gill
the pulpit in one Of oar leading
churches, and met the appointment
promptly. Not being a member of
of the denomination Of Christians to
whom the church edifice belonged,
and indulging "close" ideas Of com
munion and fellowship, the strange
minister did not invite the stationed
preacher to accompany him into the
pulpit. In the prelude to the sermon
the visiting brother alluded to the
circumstance, adding that he did not
recognise the permanent minister as
a member Of the 'household of faith,' y
and that he did not deem it consis-
tent with his profession to occupy a
pulpitin common withone with whom
he could not fellowship. The minis
ter thus alluded to very promptly
left the church, and was followed By
"a majority of the congregation
Before the close of the evenings SER

and rminded that portion Of the con.
gregation which remained. that the
suppression of the gas afforded a re-
alization Of the old biblical truth
that there were "tbose who chose
darkness rather than light" The,af
fair WAS an exceedingly awkward one
and perhaps did not afford very great
ediication to the members of the
church militant who were present on
the occasion. - Memphis Agalaaehe
