centre of the rich and thriving tobacco region
in Kentucky and Tennessee around it, 1t has
several large tobacco stenmeries and ware
houses. The people are hospitable. courteous
and refined, rot given to the ferceness and
madness that characterize secession, and never
addicted TO the ultra political views that pre-
vail in other parts of the South. We venture
to say that oar flag viii find numerous hearty
admirers in the place. Clafksville is seventy
miles distant from Nashville by water. and

Permit me, Mr. Editor, the use Of your
columns for few remarks, as The matter
write of is both of public and private interest.
1t IS and must be subject Of regret 10 every
reasonable man among Us, that now as our
town is beginning to revive from the prostra-
ting effects of the severe winter, il should be
threatened with worse calamity, in the shape
Of small pox, about which there is now as ridi-
culous and se3seless 8 panic as that of Bull
Run. say seDseless, as l am informed the
physicians who pronounced the first case of
fatal termination as small pox, were so very
chary Of their persons as not to venture near
enough to the patient to BE- able to examine
the eruption which in its primary stages is
hard to be designated from that of other skin
diseases. The present case in town at the
time of writing, no medical man has seen since
it assumed the eruptive stage, except through
q window or open door. What it may turn
out belongs to the future We do not wish TO
ridicule the precaution taken by some of our
most prominent citizens a few evenings since
but we do think they are rather premature in
building a pest house, nominating board of
health and examining physician, till occasion
requires it.
Such measures tend to create a useless fear
which will soon be nursed into a panic by in
terested parties-a contingency the well edu-
Gated physician and gentleman will do bis best
at all times to avoid, knowing that in all sick
ness and especially that with which we are
threatened a cowardly fear is both predis-
posing cause to infection, and preventative of
cure. Marysvie, Sacramento and San Fran
cisco, have, for some months past been visited
by small pox; there are, however, DO evidence
of fear or panic in their daily papers. Let US
initiate their good sense by taking all precau-
ton and discouraging all tendency to alarm.

A. ROMAN & Co. have sent US copy of

patch, on Tuesday evening last, that the Chico
Bill had been again defeated by vote of sew
enteen to seven, our citizens fred salute of
seventeen guns, in honor Of the voters who
killed the bill. Let all good citizens rejoice
that this premature and tax-increasing measure
has met deserved fate at the hands of the

enough counties in this State at present, and,
especially during these trying times, but it
seems that some folks can't see it.

nesday last, at Justice Marple's Office, to take
into consideration the practcability of either
petitioning the Supervisors to erect pest
house department to the County Hospital, or
to do so themselves, by public subscription
The Supervisors have the power, under the
law, to see to the sanitary condition of the
county and provide all necessary houses and
cOnveniences for the same, and we hope that,
as the people have moved in the matter, the
Board will exercise the power they have, and
second the movements of the people.
Towns and cities concentrate cases of dis
ease from all parts of the country in which
they are located, and as diseases both iufec-
