DEATH OF eating Tom the morn
ing OF the Fourth, Il colored man named Thos.
Thomas, well known in the eastern section of
the city as Eating Tom," died at his house
on flppennybit alley, near Eden, north of
baltimore street. He had partaken the pre-
vIous evening of large quantity of cucum
bers. and on rising early on Wednesday morn
ing drank immoderately of ice water. In
consequence he was seized with violent pains
from collie, and Notwithstanding the efforts Of
DIR. Healey, expired in two hours. He was in
the 9Sth year Of his age, having been born in
l772, four years before the Declaration of In
dependence. In his early life he was engaged
as stevedore, continuing that occupation un-
til his advanced age compelled him to quit it.
He has been known to eat a moderate sized
ham, with vegetables, &C., in proportion, at
one meal. Six large loaves of bread, with
more than quart Of coffee or tea, would
scarcely suffice for his breakfast or supper A
good sized goose or turkey would disappear
from sight in a short space OF time. His
daughter would prepare a plum pudding at
stated periods, and would cook it in bushel
bag. This would serve him and two others
as a desert. A number of instances wherein
his voracious appetite has been have occurred.
AT other times he would be content with a
more moderate share of edibles

The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1860-10-26

Judging from the desperate efforts the
Seceders are making they are evidently
getting scared. 1t appears they are eth
er fearful lest Douglas will draw off so
great vote from Lincoln as to defeat his
election, or that he will so divide the

vent Breckenridge from going into the

dates. The latest card played against

cry to his friends in reference to his
course in regard to the Lecompton Con-
sttution, in promising to go for it if SUBJ
mitted to the people, and afterwards OPP
posing it in Congress. The documents
exposing this treachcry and treason, as it
is termed, are quito voluminous and
about as clear and conclusive as the evil
dence given by Sally billiards. cousin in
reference to the fight. The gentleman is
dead who. it is said, received a letter from
Mr.. Douglas, which, il forthcoming,
would fasten conviction upon him. AS
the next best testimony, number of
gentlemen have been induced to write
that they understood such letter was
received. One witness was shown n let
ter said to have been written by Mr..
Douglas. And this is the mouse produce
ed by the mountains labor. These Roor-
backs, on the eve of an election, are by
no means uncommon, and they are not
unfrcquently certified to by names taken
from gravestones. But it is no quarrel of
ours, and we are not disposed to dispute
any thing the Democrats say of each

Secession in Virginia.

The Richmond Enquirer is the leading
Breckenridge paper in the Old Dominion.
1t openly advocates Disunion. Read what
it says,
Virginia can no more prevent the dis
solution of this Uni after Lincoln's cleo
ton than she can prevent that clcction.-
She will be powerless to prevent civil war,
with all its attendant horrors. Any one
of the Southern States can, as some Of them
loiH, involve the whole country, North as
well as South, in the internecno strife of
q bloody and desolating civil war. Vir-
ginia will, by a majority of her people,
decide upon resistance, while large mi
nority may desire to postpone resistance
for the overt act but, hitched as she is
to the Southern States, she will be drag
ged into a common destiny with them,
no matter what may be the desire of her
people. We believe that large majority
of the people of Virginia, if the opportu-
nifty OF a State Convention was allowed
them, would vote for immediate resistance
and for n common destiny with the South
ern States; and with this belief zee ,could
dtciSe Tie slavc States not to hesitate to strike
an early Jloto from fear that Fuyinia may
hesitate in her duty to The South"
The Enquirer is the leading organ of the
breckenridge party in Virginia, and we
would like to ask the supporters Of Mr.
Breckenridge here, who disavow every
thing like disunion, if the above is not a
clear and open declaration in favor of dis
solving the Union?

Largo Sale of Negroes,

A lot of negroes, 81 in number-men,
women and MISUNDERSTANDING to the
estate of Simeon Eldridge, decd, was
sold at public sale, at the Court house, in
Athens, on Friday last, and brought the
aggregate sum of S28, l0l. Terms, 10 per
cent. down; balance, in four and ten
months. Farther South, where the Dis
union element is strong, the same lot OF
negroes could not have been sold for as
much money by 80 per cent. Every man
interested in slave property, and every
man who believes slavery is right and
ought to be perpetuated, should stand by
and for the Union-vote the Union Tick
ct. There will be no safety for the insti-
tution outside of the Union.

$4,000 for O Farm.

A Farm containing $40 acres, adioin-
ing the town of Athens, was sold on Sat
urday last, for the round sum of $4,000.
Here in East Tennessee, whore the peo-
pie are all loyal and true to the Union of
their fathers and feel their ability to pro-
tcct their institutions and their hearth
stones, lands and negroes command their
full and positive value. But down South,
where Disunion is daily proclaimed and
preached, along the highways and in by
places, and where Fire-catcrs make their
unfortunate wives sleep on the front side
Of the bed, for fear Bill Seward or old Abe
Lincoln will slip in and grab them, down
there that sort of property is rapidly de-
preciating, and will not bring as much by
80 per cent. as it did five months ago.
