STATE NEWS.

Of cholera, in this CITY, Since that time We
have heardof no other case, and infer from
the fact, that there has been no other, after
the lapse of nearly a week, that the city is
yet free from the cholera atmosphere.
Last Saturday our usually quiet city
was twice thrown into slight state Of ex-
citement. In the morning a fight occurred
between one Of the market men and a citi-
zen, in which the countryman was defeated.
Later III the day our townsman took on
board too much Of the "critter," and, pitch
ing into another country chap" received
severe pummeling in turn.
The Lebanon Herald Of yesterday has
the following: 40
A body Of Federal soldiers passed
through our town on Thursday last, having
in charge a man of the name of BURGESS,
charged with bushwhacking and several
other grave ofenses, who had been captured
by them few days since in Putnam county.
The prisoner was, on his arrival here,
locked up in our county Jail, but, after de-
liberation, it was thought unsafe by the
commanding officer, in view Of the opportu-
nifty his comrades would have to rescue
him, to keep him there, and he was ac-
cordingly carried 10 Nashville"
ALREADY the wagons containing the
goods and effects" of enigrants to the West
begin to pass through our town. This re-
calls, more wildly than anything we have
noticed since the close Of the war, the good
old days of yore, when it was nothing I'M
common to see twelve or fifteen wagons a
day bound for ''the Elenoy" or "the Mis-
souri," passing through our steeets.
We have heard of but one new case of
small pox in our midst. The authorities
have built pest house in the lot adjoining
the grave yard, and in future all who are at
tackled with small pox, or any infectious dis
ease, will be carried there at once.
No cases of cholera have appeared in
our town up to this time, and the fear Of its
advent has totally subsidized.
The Franklin ReUiea0, of yesterday, says ::
We were told of very rare case Of abb
seriousness on last Thursday. A young
man from this county entered the army at
the beginning of the late war, and remained
in Il to the close, and made an excellent sol
der; none better. He never used tobacco
in any shape, never played cards, tasted
drop of spirits nor used bad word, and
came home entirely untainted by the evil
communications of the camp.
- A consultation meeting viii be held in
the Christian Church at this place, COM
mencing on Tuesday next at 10 o'clock, and
be continued for several days. We learn
that the question of a permanent location
for Franklin College will come before this
meeting, and are glad to know that the in
ducements offered by this place will be con-
sidered.

The tract of Owen land sold for $S5 per
acre, the Banks land for $50 per acre, and
the Ellis land sold entirely too low.
- Hon. WIN. NAPIER, brother of Sir
CHARLES NAPIER, has located, for the pres
ent in our town. We understand he intends
buying farm in the vicinity, and becom-
ing a permanent resident of our county.
up to the present time there are fully
four hundred voters registered in this coun-
ty. Our interchangeable opened
books on Monday, and issued few diplo-
mas, but has gone again into the quiet Of in
activity, where may he radically remain till
the next meeting of our quarterly court.
The Murfreesboro Monitor of yesterday,
denies that there is any cholera in that
place.
The Winchester Home Journal, of yester-
day, says: Last Monday was remarkable
day in our usually quiet village. The
crowd of people in our town, reminded
us forcibly of the good old days of "Auld
Lang Syne." Any quantity of land was
sold, and many homeless men have now com
Portable homes to shelter themselves and
families from the pelting, chilly rains Of the
approaching winter.
The Chattanooga Un;oB of yesterday
says:
We noticed, passing along our streets
yesterday, a train of wagons, filled with
women, children and household plumber,
with he heads of the various households and
the men of the families urging on the pa
tient oxen attached to each wagon. On in
CURRY. we learned that they were from the
of Washington county, Tenn,
and en- route for Missouri and Texas. From
the looks Of the loads, we should judge that
the emigrants were going for long stay, as
they seemed to have brought everything
along that they thought they would ever
have any use for. They informed us that
they were only portion of large number
of families residing in Washington county
who intend emigrating this fall.
