HAUNTED HOUSE IN CHATrAxooeA.-Tbe
Chattanooga Union Of yesterday says "a
domicie on Cherry street, near the corner
OF Fourth, has been visited by crowds late
ly, among whom the impression prevailed
that the place was haunted. About mid
night, it is said, white robed forms fit
noiselessly about the untenanted rooms.

nor intend to, we hardly know what the
| ghouls don't do, but probably these disturb
ances, ifsifted to the bottom, could be
traced to a few shop-lifters or skulking
thieves who wish to scare the people into
allowing them undisturbed possession"
To those wishing 10 enjoy the safety and
comfort Of the hacks OF our city, we would
refer them to Licensed Hacks Nos % and
81, kept by Stephen German. They are
fitted up in elegant style, and the most fas
tidious nor timid need be afraid Of not being
suited or landed unhurt at any destination
they may wish. In connection with
the same, he is running a novelty in
this section Of country-an Irish jauntiuq
car-and those desiring to make parties of
six for real ja1nt in the country, would
do well to give Stephen a call.
CRoPs IN THE soUrH. THE Chattanooga
Union of yesterday says: Within the last
few days we have met and conyersed with
gentlemen from the South, and are happy
in being able to say, upon their authority,
that affairs in that direction are generally
quiet. They state that there are a great
many Northern people settled at different
points, most Of them engaged in legitimate
business, and that they are not only safe in
their persons and property, but uniformly
treated with respect and kindness.
The prospect for cotton in some sections
is bad, while in others there is a pretty fair
stand. a fair crop Of corn it is thought will
be raised. As ageneral thing, the freedmen
are working pretty well-better perhaps
than was expected. But there are too many
of them congregated about the towns and
villages, spending their time in idleness
and vice.
Everything we hear from the lately re-
bellious States shows that the masses Of the
people are reconciled to the new condition
of affairs, and strengthens the belief that
could the majority in Congress be induced
to cease its factious opposition to the adj
mirable policy of the President, peace and
harmony would soon prevail throughout the
land, and the country again bound forward
on a career Of property"
CRIMINAL COURT.-The only case tried in
this court yesterday was that of John Fra
zier (colored), charged with larceny. lie
was sentenced to the penitentary for five
years.
Inc Meridian MISS. Messenger OF
the oath gives an account of an attempt
made on Thursday night last to burn a
part Of that town. The store of Myer
az Greenewald was set on fire by Mark
Myer one of the firm, who was caught
in the act by Mr.. Bullock, a clerk in
the establishment. The flames were
extinguished before any harm was done
The Messenger says: at is believed
that all the partners of the house--four
in number-are concerned in the at
tempt, and that the insurance-at $780,
600 or $35, O0O-was the incentive.
These suspicious are more fully ex-
pressed because two other attempts
have heretofore been made to burn the
neighboring houses, and because for
the past few days large amounts of
goods have been packed up and ship
ped to Lauderdale, where they have
another store.
Yesterday all the parties were ar
rested for examination. One of them
broke custody and is at large, and the
others are held for examination to-
day"
