"THE STATE OF THE DEAD."-We re
ceived the following letter recently;
NIANTIo, Nov. 8, 1859.
Publishers Plaindealer: Sirs--l now drop you
line to ascertain if G. w. Swartz and myself
can obtain the use of your columns in the
weekly" for a debate on the State of the
Dead. In your reply state whether free, or at
what rates. Yours, very truly,

z. S.-Address j. II. Douthitt Mantle, Ma
con county, ILL.,
Our terms are ten dollars line, solid agate,
for discussions on the dead, which is consider
ably less than our price for discussions on the
living, as there is not so much danger of libel
suits and assaults from the former class. If
these terms are satisfactory, we must insist
that the dsputants avoid breathing thoughts
and living truths, combining themselves strictly
to grave reasoning and dead Shots Cleveland

KNOXVILLE EXCITBD-FRED. DOUGLASS
Wilson, one Of our Chattanooga portly looking
BARRIERS, went up to Knoxville one day last
week, just to take a turn, and put up at the
Bell House. After dinner he strolled around
town, and seeing that trade was very dull, and
the money market very stringent, took pity
upon the straitened circumstances of the good
people of that city, and very generously pro-
posed to himself that he would make a small
bill in the line of confectioneries, &C., not that
he really wanted the articles but tina. he would
help the town along by leaving portion of his
surplus change. He made the purchase
went back to his hotel, and called around after
supper, just in the edge of the evening to foot
his candy bill AS he stepped into the house,
he noticed two gentlemen, stern of face and on
dire purpose intent, cycling him and advancing
towards the door. Wilson smelt mice, and
thought it the better part of discretion to
make tracks. He advanced to the door to 20
out, when one of the vigilanters drew large
knife and made strike at him, with the
exclamation-"Y You're Fred. Douglas" The
lick missed, and Wilson stepped back and
seeing that the men were rushing upon
him, he took to his heels for the Bell
House, and they in hot pursuit. Wilson made
good time-reached the Bell House-slipped
into the yard, and here came the two men, ex-
claiming on nlgn plUcn OF Nolce-'Fred. douglas
is in totOn! Fred Douglas is in tocn! Just run
dovn the hill! Catch him! catch him! Shoot
him shoot him p-and away they went down
the hill, with others who had joined in pursuit
of Fred. Douglas, Wilson meantime looking
through crack in the hotel fence at them.
Out of sight they rushed, and Wilson retired
to his room for rest. He took the first train
| home and declares that Knoxville may go
down, as he don't intend to have compassion
on her any longer or help her more. The
barber lost his beaver, but is thankful that he
saved his character. We hear that the two
gentlemen addressed the Mayor on the follow
ing morning for papers for the arrest of Fred
Douglas.-C Chattanooga AdUertiser
