OF the country, may interest few, of the many
readers othe Carsnieis, shall attempt to chronicle
Few which have CLEANED by the way-side, and
give them for what they arr worth AS cotton is
still king" win, in the first place, speak Of that
article, which Is now selling in Memphis, for 20
aud 50 cents per pound. The amount rcsurrected
since the cessation Of hossilies cannot be enume-
rated and the cry Is astill q comes" The growing
crop, though not large, will produce about one
bale to the acre, as the seasons have been un-
usually fine; and in fact the prospects are very
encouraging, aud tho but small crop has been
planted, yet before stated, will yield bale to
the acre. The corn crop is unusually Hne, and
every farmer win make enough for, two years.
The crops in adjoining counties are not so en-
couraeing, as they have suffered for rain.
The Mississippi and Tennessee railroad is being
slowly repaired as the Company funds are scarce.
1t is reported that the United States Government
intends aiding In the reconstruction of this i'm
portant road. Mule trains make regular trips from
Memphis to Pamela where they make connection
with the "iron horse" for points further South
The Memphis and Charleston railroad is completed
as far as POcahonias Depot, and trains run daily.
The Mississippi Central Is also being repaired.
Trains run up as far as Oxford. Mule Trains are
running from Grand Junction TO Oxford, thus giving
rail communication TO Mobile, and other Southern
cities. The Mobile and Ohio railroad will be
opened from Columbus, Ky, TO Mobile, in very
few weeks. Packets are making regular trips be-
twses Mobile and Montgomery, Ala. raH /.
noticed in recent number Of the New York
Court Journal Of FashiOn, that Il advocates and
recommends that the ladies should ride astraddls,
and also number Of female writers are advocas-
ing and favoringthc adoption Of this new style Of
riding, For my part can see no objection to this
Hnew fashion, snce the ladies are striving 50
earnestly TO masculine themselves by wearing, hats
caps shirt bosoms, ueck-ties standing collars,
jackets, &C., &C.
The above paragraph, suggests to mind very
amusing and ludicrous incident or rather adsen-
ture, that occurred to some of my female C.
quaintances recently, in this neighborh0ed- A
number of young ladies, during an evening ride
in Hurricane bottom, lest their way in attempting
to reach home By a smear cut" and as night was
FAST approaching, they determined to retrace their
steps, The resolve was no sooner made than put
into execution. Assuming the position Of cavalry
aan-in the act of making chargo--they
wheeled their ani-uies and dashed of at full speed
forgetting at the time to place their feet in the
stirrups. As they dashed down the road at 240
with disheveled hair and skirts floating to the
breeze, they presented picture that can he better
imagined than described, and as they have dismoun-

War the GOVERNMENT CANNOT Do.-In April,
1862, Judge Sprague of the United States District
Court in Boston, rendered decision in the Amy
Warwick case. The following is an extract from
that decision:
at has been supposed that after the rebellion is
suppressed the Government viii have the rights Of
conquest; that State and its inhabitants may be
permanently Invested of all political privileges and
treated as foreign territory acquired by arms. This
is an error grave aud dangerous error. Under
despotic governments the power Of municipal con-
iscation may be Unlimited; but under our Gov
ernment the right of sovereignty over any portion
Of State is given and limited by the Constitution
and win be the same after the it was before

rebel district they acquire title, but merely

SHREvEpoRT, Sunday Jan. lst.
From the st. Louis Democrat, Dec. 20.
A fight took place on the 10th between
Hood and Thomas near Nashville, Hood oc-
cupying strong position along Granny
White Hills. Center projected by two lines
of entertainments. Our plan of battle, pres
sing the success gained on the 10Th. Gen.
Wood 4th Corps, carried Hoods advance
line.
AS soon as this success was achieved
Gen. Thomas ordered charge along the
entire1ine and in q few moments the rebels
were routed and soldiers captured by thou
sands and all the artillery in our hands on
the rebel left, while their right repulsed for
o time Woods corps, and drove them back
in great confusion.
Wood soon reformed and carried their
entire ranks, when the whole rebel army
was fleeing in rout and havoc. Night saved
their army. The results of the battle were
FIVE thousand prisoners, thirty piecesof can
non and seven thousand small arms.
TTbe Democrat cditorially speaking of
the battle of Nashville says; "ln view Of
our making the assault, perhaps the list of
killed and wounded leaving prisoners out
of the question, will not vary so materially.

Thomas 10 the War Department dated at
Franklin, Dec. 18th, states that he had
pressed the enemy beyond Franklin, cap
turing twenty-five hundred prisoners hve

wounded; also Gen. Buckner, with but lit
