We, citizens of Elkhorn, Wis, having purchased fruit
trees and other nursery stock ofJames H.. Tubbs, agent
for the Bloomington Nursery, ILL.,, +. X. Phonix,propri-
etor, would state that in every instance we are highly
pleased and entirely satisfied with the manner in which
our orders were filled, clearly proving the selections
to have been carefully made, by a person well qualified
and we would advise and ecommend all who are desir-
Gus of obtaining Fruit Trees, Evergreens, Bulbs, Orna-
promptly filled, and have Mrdfty, healthy stock, such
as are well adapted to the changeable winters and sum-
mers of Wisconsin, to purchase them OF Mr.. Tubbs.

J. L. TUBBs, Esq.-Dedr Sir :-Please accept the
thanks of the undersigned for the promptness and good
faith with which you filled our orders for Fruit Trees and
OrnamentalShrubs. We were particularly well pleased
with the quality, and also the condition in which they
were delivered. We hnd them strong, healthy and
fresh from the nursery, giving unmistakable evidence
of thorough cultivation, judicious selections, careful
handling, and expeditions delivery; being in point of
freshness and vigor much superior to trees raised in a
climate and soil foreign to ours, and exposed TO the vi.
cissitudes of a thousand miles ofrailroad transportation;
and we in good faith commend those DESTROYS OF OBJ
tanning fruit and ornamental trees to order them Of you.

AFIrc.eater Dead.

The Richmond W6iG Of July 81, states
that VIM. L. Yancey, Of Alabama, was
buried at Montgomery, on the 29th ult.
Yancey was an original flre-eater, and
has beyond all doubt gone straight TO
the region where fire is so plentiful that
ne can get his stomach full Of ito all
eternity. He claimed the honor of firing
the Southern heart and precipitating the
South into a revolution" and the devil is
now about probing his own heart with a
red-hot toasting- fork. We can think Of
but one verse Of Scripture applicable to
his case "And in hell he Lifted up his
eyes being in torment" But If all the
human blood which Yancey bas been in
strumental 10 shedding since the day he
murdered his own uncle, DR.. Earle, in
cold blood, could be now poured upon
him, the food would be so great that
Tophet would cease to burn for a season.
He was a walking demon, a hend incar-
nate, "a monster redeemed by no
virtue" lie was a compound of false
hood, t~reachory, hypocrisy, dishonesty,
brutality and cowardice. Having 10y
his superior oratorical powers aided
largely in melting the South to insurrec-
tion, he first skulked off to Europe, and
on his return took his seat in Congress,
keeping as far from the war he had
stirred up as possible. His ancestors,
it 10 said, were Tories in the Revolution,
and from them he inherited every vice,
and not one virtue. We rejoice for the
sake of the South, but we mourn for the
gallows, robbed Of a victim, which it
e~minently deserved.
Old John b. Floyd, the noted thief,
will probably die this week, and JEFF.
Davis himself can hardly survive till
winter. The devil had better look sharp
or he will be cheated out of his throne.
If he is let him com up and run the
Southern COnfederacy a while. He has
had some experience in that line,

Persecuuon of Union Won

The prosecutions of Union men in
Western Texas still continue. A letter
from Preehas Negras "a small town OPP
posite Fort Duncan on the Rio Grande)
says: "A few men reached here to-day
from San Antonio. They report passing
en- the roadside, near that town, three
men hanging-twO Germans and one
American. at another place on the road
n of this party says he saw an Ameri-
can hanging. He was 3 ~fine-looking
man and we'll dressed"
Persons from San Antonio state that
there are still a large number of Union
men lett in Western Texas. They are
relying much upon the energies of Gen.
A. j. Hamilton, and hope that o
through him, a force will be sent TO their
assistance.

Rebel swlndicrs

Swindling and cheating thrive under
rebel influences. When the merchants
of this city were required to pay over
their Northern debts to the Confederate
Receiver, s. r. Corkrill, many of those
who had been the first to join the rebel
lion tried to cheat their own government
as well as their eastern creditors, by
handing in and swearing to about m
half of their debts. This is proven by
the records of the Court. A Vioksburg
letter says:
l have asked a respectable aud ~intelli-
gent citizen why Yicksburg was not
properly provisiOned. Said he, zone
reason was, our cOmmissariat and Quar-
termaster's Department we're all corrupt

A correspondent of the New York

The Capitol is really a handsome-an
elegant--a magnificent structure, and
the stone Of which its massive walls are
constructed is as handsome, perhaps, as
white marble in other places, but the
quarries from which il was taken are SO
abundant under and around Nashville
that we call il Tennessee limestone. 10
is elegantly, and often most quantity
and fsntsstically cloudod, with the most
beautiful shades and dainty figures. In
the interior Of the Capitol there are
three varieties Of native marble, red,
elegantly notified, white and black, all
susceptible Of high polish, and finely
grained. The marble quarries of Ten
nessee are one Of the wonders Of the
South, and OF incalculable value. Ihey

denied her permission, and she returned
on the same boat. Courtesies of this

We are reioiced TO announce the tri-
umphant election of Gen. Smith over
Menzies in the Sixth Congressional
District of Kentucky. Smith was vio-
lently opposed by the Louisville Journal
and all the Kentucky Copperheads, and
his opponent was a man of great personal
popularity. 1t is essentially = triumph
OF the people over the Slaveocracy, and
we hail it as a glorious omen of the
future. We deeply regret hat the gallant
Rousseau could not be spared from the
field to defeat Mallory in the Louisville
district. He could have beat him five
thousand votes.

Well, we would not give S18 a head
for one hundred of the best slaves in

more as compensated lsborers, but they
are not worth it as slaves Slave property
is fast losing its value, and all who are
not pur blind with prejudice see it and
feel it. The question of Emancipation
is a living, practical one in this State;
it is upon us, and we must settle it. We
are as well convinced that the people of
Tennessee will pass an Emancipation
Ordinance, before twelve months, as we
are that they ought to do it.
