WoRKHCUsE NEEDED.-There seems to be an
undivided opinion among the people of Knox coun-
ty who have thought of the matter in regard to the
establishment of a workhouse here where offenders
against the city or State laws may be confined and
made 20 learn their bread by the sweat of their
brow Ali seem TO agree that such an institution
would have q beneficial influence on society in our
midst. There is too much vagrsncy and idleness
among us, and some stringent measure should be
adopted 10 prevent any increase, and to suppress
that which exists and we are persuaded that moth
ing would so conduce 10 the accomplishment of this
very desirable result as a well conducted workhouse
Such institutions have been tried and found benef
cal in other cities, and we can see no reason why
they should not prove equally beneficial to Knox
vile.
Our enterprising County Court has taken the lead
in other matters pertaining to the public interest
they have conducted our financial affairs during the
war in such manner as TO be highly creditable to
al concerned, and we think the members entertain
high regard for the welfare of the people of the
county, and we hope that they will think of this
matter and act for the public good. If we are not
mistaken, the County Court has power, under the
laws Of Tennessee to inauguratc such thing and
in connection with our city authorities we hope to
il put in operation.

VIOLATING THE SAMANTHA good move is on
foot among our city authorities to suppress the vio-
lation Of the Sabbath day. 1t has become too com
mon to see grog-shops and other business houses
open on the Sabbath, and some men have been heard
TO boast that their business better on that day than
any other. If we a christian people let us re-
spect and observe the Sabbath as such, and if men
will persist in violation Of the law, let them incur
ITS penalties. Hereafter those who dispose of intox-
icating drinks, merchandise of any kind, or who
pursue their daily avOcations on that day. may ex-
pect punishment, and in such cases can only blame
themselves

The WNTER.-The winter here, like all Others
has been remarkable one. We have had very lit
tie cold weather. and fear consumers of ice will
find that article scarce next summer. The fall and
carly part of the winter dry and warm, and af-
forwards great deal of rain and but little snow
The alternate freezes and thaws which occurred al
most every twenty-four in dry weather have proven
very injurious TO the growing wheat crop, and we
have heard fears expressed by the farmers that the
harvest could not be abundant, but we hope these
fears will not be realized The great amount of
rain tbat has fallen through the winter has rendered
our country roads almost impossible, but as the
weather is setting in finer, we hope those having
control of them will look after their improvement

BRIDGE SALE.-The Government bridge across
the Holston river at this place sold by Captain
Wainwright on Monday. and purchased by Judge
C. W. Jones for the county, for the nominal sum of
500 The public is under many obligations to the
Judge FOR his zeal in securing the bridge for the
Of the county, which prevents extortion. We IN
derstand that small will be charged to those
crossing the bridge in the future a discrimination
being made in favor of the citizens of the county
We learn also from thshghest authority that fine
of ten dollars viii be imposed upon any one running
or trotting horses over the bridge the justice of
which must be apparent to every reasonable man.

OUR FARNERs-The season for active agricultuS
raj operations is fast approaching and our farmers
industriosly preparing for it. Fences are being
repaired and land which has gone uncultivated for
want Of fences is being enclosed, and il is matter
Of general remark that the farmers of East Tennes
see never before showed such determined spirit of
Improvement as at present, and should the coming
season prove favorable, we predict large crops of
corn, wheat oats, clover and aIl other productions
Pecuisr n our country. Such spirit on the part
Of our farmers will necessarily be infused into all
classes OF society," and under such circumstances we
cannot fail TO improve our condition, in a financial
point Of view. Manufacturers viii at once see q
good opening among US, if we are an industrious
people and will open up manufactures for the con-
siruc.on OF Implements of husbandry; capitalists
VIII ma attractions among Us, and will use their
means 20 develop our natural resources; schools will
spring up all over cur land, and we will take that
high position in society which our rich soil healthy
climSte and mineral resources merits. Men who
come among US for the avOwed purpose of making
all they can out of u.s. and then leaving US will see
but little prospect of success, and men of perma-
nenee will take their places.
We congratulate our farmers upon their energy
and zeal in their highly honorable and useful avo-
cation. and wish them abundant harvests as the
fruits of their labor.

TERGICAL AFFAIR.-Our community was thrown
INTO state Of great excitement on yesterday by the
shooting of Lieut. Col. Dyer late of the lst Tennes-
see Cavalry, by colored guard. The Colonel had
purchased some articles at the Government sale IN
der thesupervision of Capt. Wainwright, and when
going up TO the clerk 10 make settlement for the
articles purchased, the guard halted and almost
simultaneously shot him, and he died from the eff
fects in few minutes.
Lieut.. Col Dyer entered the Federal service early
IN the war, private in the above named regi-
ment, General Brownlow's old regment) and
served as LIST Lieutenant Major, and Lieut.. Colonel
After General Brownlow was wounded at Franklin,
Tenn. he commanded the regiment and always per-
formed his duty in such a manner as TO win the re-
spect and esteem of his superior officers and enjoy
ed, in a high degree, the unbounded confidence of
his men. His untinely death has cast shadow of
gloom over the community.
The negro eluded the authorities for a time but
about half past two o'clock he was discovered drag
ged out by the Infatuated popuace shot and hanged
by the neck, in front of headquarters until he was
dead. Great excitement prevails at the time Of 60
