A Pretty SINNER.--A pretty sinner
may chance to be more attractive than
an ugly saint, and parsons sometimes
find it out. A good story is told of a
Yankee Divine of an advanced age who
married for his second wife damsel
young ana handsome. When the el.
ders of the church came to him to en-.
qulre if the lady was suitable person
to make useful figure as parsons
wife, he answered frankly that he did
not think she was. but" added the
irrcpressible doctor, Though l don't
pretend she is a saint, she Is very
pretty little sinner, and love er"-
And the twain became one flesh.

EE A laborng man named John
Clough, residing at East Saginaw, had
his leg broken near the ankle by acct
dentally stumbling while walking back
ward with a plank in his hand on the
deck of the sloop Sultana, last week, the
plank striking him as he fell. Strange
to say, his associate laborers, of whom
there were some twenty, refused to as
sist in conveying the unfortunate man
to his home, and it was with difficulty
that Capt. Richardson, of the Sutana,
could obtain from by.standers a sufii'
cient number Of men to carry him to
his residence = Bay CITY Press.

Federal Occupation of East
Tennessee.

Knoxville Cor. of the Cincinnati Gazette.
The military situation is not presenting a
very promising or agreeable appearance just
now. Our occupation of East Tennessee is
somewhat nominal when viewed from a
uuartermaster's or commissary' stand point
We hold a narrow strip of land between the
mountains and Holston river, extending
east and west from London to the Watuga
river. 1t is not the productive portion OF
the State, and unless we drive out the rebe
forces now iufesting all the roads in other
sections, our food and forage questions will
assume the dignity of the most difficult OF
military problems. Bragg's lines are now
at Athens, and the scouts are patrolling the
country south of the river with so much lm-
punity as renders foraging unsafe. The
richest hay and grain lands (if the term rich
may BE- applied at all to land comparing sc
lily with the average productlveness Of
the Vest lie east toward Virginia, in the
valleys of the Heston, French Broad, Wa
tauga and Powell rivers. Sam Jones has
thus far monopolzed the products OF those
regions, and how much may be LETT Tor US,
if we succeed in driving him out, remains to
be seen. Unless we can hold the rebels
back to the line Of Glade Springs, in Viz
ginia, Tennessee will be ours but in name.
There is but a single mode of egress toward
the east. The old National road from Nash
vile to Lvncdburg and the East Tennessee
and Virginia railroad both occupy it, At
Glade Springs, thirty miles beyond Bristol,
there is an advantageous military position.
Fortifying and holding this will bring with
in our lines Pound Gap and the famous Vir-
GINA salines, at the same time presenting
an impossible barrier to the advance of any
but besieging force from the east.

From the Mississippi.

Tie editor of the Mobile Register had {
recent interview with gentleman from be
yond the Mississippi, whose opportunities
are favorable for learning the condition o.
things there.
The account he gives Of the spirit of the
people in Northern Louisiana il not so ia
vorable as could be wished, but nothing else
than might be expected from the depress
ing influences which have been operating
upon them since the fall Of Vicksburg.
The news from Sabine Pass, however,
has had an encouraging effect, and that froul
Chickamauga must have further tendency
in the same direction.
Week before last there were 80 boats be.
tween Natchez and Vicksburg, bound up
With troops. Only 5000 Yankees were
left at Little Rock, and but handful at
Vicksburg.
1t was said that Gen Magruder gave each
Of the men engaged at Sabine Pass silver
medal, besides barrel Of Whisky among
them, which was equivalent to about gal
Ion apiece.
A Correspondent from Houston writes:
We are in fine spirits here in Texas, es
pecially since we have heard of Roaecrans'
defeat and our brethren on the other side
of the Mississippi need nor borrow any
trouble on our account We think that our
cause and prosects were never brighter than
at present. In fact, the letters Of William
c. Rives and Mau y express our feelings in
full concerning the final result.

HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
WEDNESDAY, Oct. q

Prayer by Rev. D. W. Fisher.
The unfinished business of yesterday, be-
ing the consideration of House Bill No. III,
regulating elections by the people.
Mr.. Ross moved to amend the section re-
latng to the distribution of liquor among
voters by inserting cor within thirty days
next preceding the election" so as to make
the section read:
"lf any person, who is candidate
for any Office under the Constitution and
laws of this State, shall, himself or by an
other offer to distribute among the voters
gratuitously any intoxicating drink on the
day Of the election, or within thirty days
next preceding the election, lie shall, i
elected, forfeit his Office and on proof of the
fact be removed therefrom."
The question was discussed at considera
BILE length, and vote being taken the
amendment was elected.
The committee appointed to examine into
affairs at the Auditors Office, reported tina
they had examined the books of the office
and recommended the adoption Of a resolu
ton directing the Auditor to take charge o
number of books and papers now in his
office, which belonged TO Perpoint's gov
ernment The resolution was amended il
several places, and so amended and passed

Rack Track on the HabeaS Cor

The New York Sun says :

partment has atlength made sensible mod
ification of the Presidents Proclamation,
suspending the habeas corpus act and here
after the civil courts will be allowed to take
cognizance as heretofore of all cases for the
discharge of minors improperly enlisted,
and illegally detained by the military au-
thorities. This announcement is made by
the Adiutant General in a dispatch to Mr.
Simon Stern, lawyer of this city, in rela.
ton to the case of minor in which he is
interested This decision will afford a SEN
sible relief totthe community and legal pro-
fession, and relieve from the Presidents

difficult, if not impossible to obtain redress
for those who cannot legally be detained in

hold our liberties subject to the back, and
forward track of only one man, though thai
man may be President.

A CATHOLIC PASTOR in Randolph, Mass,
was fined on the l4th inst, one dollar in
each case, for attempting to kiss two ladies.
He has appealed, however, but upon what
ground it is not stated He must have
been very ugly priest or he would have
succeeded better. Shocking that the ladies
Of Mass. have no more appreciation for q
holy kiss than that. We wonder what the
fine is for negro kissing pretty white
woman in the old Bay State? Probably
25 cents.

Wool Growing at the West.


This branch of stock growing is
receiving largely increased atten-
tion throughout our Western States
partly caused by the war and in.
creased demand for wool consequent
and partly owing to the partial fail.
ure and low price of wheat, and to
the fact that pork sells low compar-
ed with former years. In this in
crease Of sheep, as we predictd in
this Journal three years ago, no
hindering cause has been found and
no new enemy developed. The
present year has been a remarkably
wet one, and yet sheep in larger
numbers than ever before have pas
tured the PARTIES in perfect health.
Many farmers almost unacquain-
ted with sheep and wool growing
have invested in Aocks the past sum
mer. The winter may prove a dear
experience school, to them and
cause them to wish their money
back again.
In sheep growing there are three
distinct sources Of profit sought;
viz, increase of number by natural
propagation; growth or increase of
size and weight. and annual product
of wool. The fattening of sheep for
mutton exclusively, constitutes a
branch of business by itself.
The three objects above noted are
the chief aim of Western sheep
growers. The eve used in breed
ing should possess as nearly as pos
sible the points of excellence desir-
ed in the offspring. They should
at least be one year old, of good
strong constitution, have air, exer.
else and faithful diet. The lamb
will thrive finely if the dam is strong,
healthy, and a good breeder. Prair-
lie storms are exceedingly severe on
lambs, and they require good shell
ter, dry underfoot. Those farmers
who have discarded swine for sheep,
should bear in mind that a hog-reeve
and shepherd are quite separate
occupations. The hog, though ma
tive Of warm climate, will thrive
if well fed without shelter; the sheep
will suffer far more, and its increase
frequently perish. The eve, healthy,
well fed and sheltered, will generally
realize the fond hopes Of the shep-
herd for increase. Growth after
ward is natural, easy and rapid
Good health is necessary, which re-
quires dry pastures and proper food
subjects for study not easily ex-
hausted.
The annual product of wool de-
pends much upon the health of the
sheep, both for strength and beauty
Of fiber and also weight Of fleece.
The three sources of increase a.
bove named closely looked after,
and there will be small chance OF |

A DEMOCRATIC T0ll-eats Keeper

A few weeks since, as Messrs. Vallandig-
ham and PendIeton were going in a carriage
from Batavia, to fill an appointment some
place in Brown county, they drew up at toll
gate.
Mr.. PendIeton, with that amiable conde-
seension which marks his intercourse with the
poor and lowly voters, asked the venerable
gate keeper how he stood on politics, and was
answered: 1 am a Democrat; have voted
the ticket all my life, and expect to as long as
l live"
That's right, my good man, am glad to
find you all right on politics, now, as an old
Democrat, what do you think of Hon. Mr..
Vallandigham for our next Governor ?"
Valandigham is the d--st traitor north
Of Mason and Dixons line, and l wouldn't
help elect him dOg-pelter."
But stop, man, this gentleman with me is
Mr.. v"
Il don't care who he is; am jackson
Democrat not Vallandghammer."
1t is said that the worthy pair drove on,
not particularly refreshed by the conversa-
ton.
The above is not only good, but true, and the
evidence can be produced if anybody wants it.
