A MARE STOLEN UNDER PECULIAR CIR
cUMsTANCEs. About three weeks ago a bay
mare was seized by Sheriff Russell from Levin
tion in the Sheriff hands in favor of Mr.. Ed
ward Marvel. The mare was placed in the
stables of Philip c. Jones, jr, for board and
safe keeping, and was advertised to be sold on
Saturday last (llth inst.) In the meanwhile
she was claimed by one George Swain, who
sued out writ of replevin, and placed it in
the Coroner's hand for execution. The Sheriff,
having been Unidentified by Mr.. Marvel, re-
fused to deliver up the animal, and so matter,
went on until Friday night last, when the mare
was stolen from Mr.. Jones stable. The door
of the stable was wrested from its hinges witt
bar of iron which was found lying on tn,
ground near the door. The mare has not ye
been heard from, although a reward of $50 ha
been offered for her by the Sheriff. Suspicion
points to several individuals as the thieves
but no arrests have yet been made George

FIRE. About one o. clock on Saturday morn

Smyrna Landing was discovered to be on fire.
But one individual was present, who could do
nothing to subdue the flames, and tile mill,

entirely destroyed. Fortunately the engine
was but very little injured. The estimated loss
Is Is from Sl2OO to $500. It is not known how
the fire originated.
On friday evening the stackyard on the farm

STATE AND LOCALS.

The CAMDEN CAMP.-The camp now in
progress on this celebrated ground is the larg-
est held there since 1860, which was the largest
ever held there, numbering about 400 tents.
The tents number 252, we are informed, ex-
elusive OF those occupied by the colored peo-
plea few in the rear. Smyrna occupies 2l
OF the number. The plan of the ground is
excellent. Instead of all the tents fronting to-
wards the circle, " as formerly, the ground is
laid OF in straight avenues and the tents made
to face them. The circle is in the form of
square, in which the avenues cross each other
at right angles. The regular attendance is
OF course large, but the Sunday instalment of
visitors was scarcely beyond last year. Two
trains Of eight or ten cars $500 or 600 persons)
arrived on Saturday. The preaching has been
excellent, and the meetings possessed of unu-
sual religious interest. Rev. DR.. Lore, editor
OF the Northern Christian Aduocate, preached
the Sunday morning sermon, and Rev. Mr..
Wood Of New York, the afternoon sermon.
Ram Interrupted open-air meetings in the even
ing. The order has been excellent; far ahead
OF previous occasions. 1t has been determin-
ed to close the meetings on Friday morning.

During the war, says the jackson

pied Memphis, and were overrunning
Tennessee, some of Gen. FoRREsr's men
found little girl in the woods who was
too young to tell her name, or the resi-
dence of her parents. They tenderly
cared for her, aud nursed her with n
mothers devotion, until II suitable OPP
portunity was presented, when they car
ried her to Memphis, and conhded her

YANKEE IMAGINATION.

We frequently hear it remarked that
the Yankee mind is intensely "ma,ter-of-
fact" and utilitarian in its conceptions
that the almighty dollar" engrosses the
msntal yision of that nation Of swindling
traders, etc. We submit that this is all a
mistake-that Yankee imagination has
no parallel on earth except Yankee cred
ulty. Witness the following, says an
exchange, from the Nashville correspon-
dence of the Cincinnati Gazette:
Major wainwright is busily employed in
gathering into the National Cemetery at
Chattanooga the remains of the brave
men who fell in their country S service
at Chattanooga, Chickamauga, and the

of the race Dexter wins $4,000 and Pat
chen $1,000

solved to hold no session tomorrow.
The President and party did not arrive
here until after 10 o clock tonight They
we're met at the Central depot, at the
foot Of Lake street, by large escort Of
Knights Templars, reception committee,
bands of music. An immense crowd Of
spectators eathertu IN anu arOuhu tne
depot, and when the party approached,
they were greeted with loud and pro-
longed cheeringfn which the names Of
Grant and Farragut were frequently
heard
Immediately they entered the car
riages, and, followed by long process
sion, we're escorted 10 the Sherman
House, amid cheers, firing of rockets,
and other noisy demonstrations.
Arriving at the Sherman House, the
President was formally welcomed by

SHALL LOYAL MEN OR REBELS Gov
ERIN TENNESSEE

Such, says BRowSLow, is the great
question now to be determined. There
is, the Nashville Gazette observes, no
rebellion in this country, and of course
there are no rebels; but We suppose he
intends to designate by that term men
who aided the Southern cause in the con-
fiict which terminated in April, 1865.
Ii is a rare thing that men seeking
selfish ends do not manage to hide their
purposes under some fair pretext; but
the Governor of Tennessee does not seem
to think it worth while any longer to play
the hypocrite. He does not pretend that
the general good is to be promoted by the
continuance in power Of himself and his
party. he does not undertake to show
that the rebels, as he calls them, would
do any harm if placed in power BE
does not claim that he and his adherents
are at all more capable, more honest, or
more devoted to the interest Of the State,
than would be any other set of men that
might supplAnt them. According to his
views openly proclaimed, the question is
not whether the State shall be well or i'll
but who shall govern it
From al this we necessarily infer
that BRowxLow and his faction regard
themselves as entitled to be paid for
their loyalty by monopoly Of all the

PROPERLY ESTIMATED.

The Louisville Courier ofthe 9th says
We are informed that Hon. JAMES SPEED,
who now talks so Aippantly about the
tyrant Of the White House" when on a
visit to his home in this city, only about
year ago, perhaps not quite SO long,
could not find language strong enough to
express his admiration Of ANDREW JOHN
SON. His frmness, his eminent abilities,
his profound craftsmanship, and his So
cial qualities, were all the subjects OF
Mr.. SPEEDS panegyrics on all occasions,
both in and out of season. Now ANDREW
JoBSsos is the tyrant of the White
House" Mr.. SPEED held an Office then
upon ANDREW JoHssoS's breath. He is
now out of office, and hence the change
Of tone. Mr.. SPEED properly estimated
the President, and when the President
properly estimated Mr. SPEED, up went
the conceited Louisvillians caudal ex-
tremity. We can appreciate JAMES la
cerated feelings The presidency Of a
FRED. DOUGLASS convention is a poor
swap for the Attorney Generalship Of the
United States.

Carolinas, he thinks, will produce over
100000 bales; Georgia, 100000; Ala
bama, 100000; Louisiana, Mississippi
Florida and Arkansas, $4,000. he
makes no separate estimate for Texas,
not having visited that State; and he
thinks that the aggregate production of
the South, Texas included, will not ex-
coed 1900 900 bales. Mr.. FORBES states
that higher estimates than this have pre-
viously been made by reliable parties,
but since the data upon which they were
based have been collected, crop pros
poets have deteriorated An accurate
Judgment of the amount Of the crop can
scarcely be formed before November
