Our city has Of late been unusually quiet
and lOyal. No murders committed Or
slieht-o of-hand thefis committed on smoke
houses and hen roosts. All seem TO be
"iogging along" in harmony, and no !" inn
pending eFisis" is likely TO demand the
presence Of any Of Brownlow's melish."
The colored people are in the full enjoy
ment Of their religious liberties, with fair
chance Of other privileges being extended
to them, provided that {" Sherry y does not
have Radical vision to-day that some old
darkey is doubtful, and add on another
Congress-supporting oath to all cOlored GER
tifeates issued by him. .-t4slad Asa

of the parties interested we are not yet per-
mitted 10 give, but we are quite sure they
will command the confidence of the busi-

So we had a bank up to the meeting of
the grand Jury, but that body being anti
bank men, il was moved for reasons best
known to the bankers" al "

Mics CoUNTY.-We spent a portion of
the present week in Meigs county. Circuit
Court was in session-Judge Adams pre-
siding. On Monday, Col. X. NJ. Edwards,
Of this place, made speech upon the po-
litical topics Of the day, taking the Conser-
vative side OF the questions discussed. We
did not hear his speech, but those who did
spoke in high terms of it On Tuesday a
public meeting was held for the purpose Of
appointing delegates TO the State conven-
tion, which assemblies at Nashville on the
10th instant. The people of Meigs are
getting on first rate-attending TO their
own business and letting other peoples
alone Money is scarce, but they have
plenty of hog and hominy.
WHEAT CRoP.-In travelling over the
country TO Meigs county, we discovered
that the wheat crop was looking remarka-
bly, well for the season Of the year, and we
predict heavy yield if il meets with no
mishap between this and harvest. There
is a greater breadth of land soWn this than
any former year.
From the Bristol News 4th.
PROMPT AcTIoN.-The Conservatives of
a majority of the counties Of East Tennes-
see have held meetings and appointed del
egates to the State convention to meet on
the 10th Of April. Hon. Thos. A. r. Mel
son seems to be the unanimous choice of
the party for Governor For Congress, in
the first district, Gen. Thornburg, of JEFF
ferson, and Col. Reeves, of Greene, are
spoken OF.
The growing wheat crop between this
point and Knoxville looks well.
ALI RIdHT AGAIN. The Virginia and
Tennessee, and East Tennessee and Nir-
ginia railroads are now all right again
the bridge at Strawberry Plains was finished
yesterday. Taking into consideration the
amount Of damage done these roads by the
late food, the time Including the bad
weather since) employed by the energetic
superintendents, Messrs Goodwin and
Ho1ie, for their repairs, is certainly as
| tonishing.
