AFFAIRS IN WESTTENNESsEE-
ORION COUNTY CANARDs

We met in the city yesterday, Mr.
Martin, who resides in Weakly county
near the Obion line, who assured us that
most OF the reports in relation to Rebel
violence and bloodshed in that section
are mere sensation canards In the coun~
ties Of Weakley, Dyer, Gibson and Ohion
there never was more general peace and
safety, and less strife and bloodshed He
states that there has not been difficulty,
referable to political causes, in either Of
those counties since the close Of the war
The unfortunate killing Of Dr. Case was
the result Of causes connected with the
death, during the war, Of brother Of
Farris. There is not a respectable and
truthful Union or loyal man in that
section he AYERS who will say that he
apprehends any danger, or is in anywise
prosecuted on account of his political
views or opinions.
Mr. Martin further states that Purseley,
who fed from his home for safety, was
never in any danger This man F., du-
ring the war, sent word to young man
whose mother was widow, to come
home and take care of her, and he, p,
would see that he was not harmed He
did come, was arrested, tried by court
martial and sent to the penitentiary. 1t
was reported in the neighborhood that
he had been released by order Of the
President, and thereupon +. left But
the young man was not in the neighbor-
hood, and has not yet retured to his
widowed mother-probably for the reason
that he had greater cause to fear P than
r. had to fear him
Mr.. NJ is confident that every case Of
violence that has occurred in that locali-
ty, if investigated, would be shown to
have no relation whatever to politics, and
that there is less disorder than was usual
before the war.

apparently inexhaustible in supply and
inferior to none in quality. The line Of
this road penetrates this region, lying
few miles north Of Hopkinsville, KY, and
within seventy-hve or eighty miles Of
this city. The opening Of these mines
will give Nashville coal a! Is cents per
bushel, and with other competing sources
Of supply will maintain full quantum
for fuel and manufacturing purposes
The region trayersed by this road abounds
in iron and the finest qualities of lum
Der for manufacturing uses. In this
brief article we cannot notice all the adj
vantages of this connection, but commend
General Boyle and his company to the
favorable consideration Of our capitalists,
and viii take another occasion to urge
such action by our City Council in behalf
of the construction of this road, as its

10 THE PUBLEC.

The present number Of the UNioN AND
DrsrATcH terminates my connection with
the press, Mr. JoHx s. WARD having pur>
chased my interest in the business.
In making the announcement, re-
specuully tender to the large circle Of
ardent friends, who have given the paper
with which / have been identified their
confidence and support, through the most
exciting and eventful period Of the coun~
trys history, my sincere acknowledge
ments. Those who labor to advance cor
rect principles. are not without sheir re
ward, even though they fail in their EN-
deavors In this last hour Of editorial life
| have the pleasing satisfaction Of know
ing that have never sought to mislead
the public for any personal or partisan
consideration, or advanced a sentiment
that / did not regard as in the line Of
patriotic duty
The regret which | would otherwise
experience in Withdrawing from this
paper is greatly lessened by the fact that
! leave it in hands fully competent 90
maintain its reputation and advance its
usefulness. My recent associates, who
have had the chief care Of the editorial
columns, are experienced and able jour
nalists, controlled alone in their high duty
by considerations Of the public welfare.
Their new associate, Mr. WARD, is a
worthy gentleman Of known integrity,
and through his contributions to various
magazines, and brief connection with
the press of Texas and of this State, has
given evidence of his fitness for the new
relation he is about to assume.
From my immediate personal friends,
! earnestly solicit for those who remain
behind me a continuance Of their conf
dence and friendly Offices.
