Our Financial and CONNER
cial Column.

Every department of business has an imme-
date interest in the markets Of the country, and
In its financial fluctuations and condition. The
man who fails to keep himself properly ad-
vised as to the rise and fall of the markets, as
controlled by the laws Of demand and supply,
and the relative condition Of the currency. is
exposed to constant loss and must necessarily
fall behind his more intelligent and enterprising
neighbOrs. In order to make our paper valuable
as well as interesting, we shall continue to
make this a SPECIAL FEATURE. Our Daily
Market Reports, domestic and foreign, by tele-
graph, and our City Reports. gotten up at heavy
expense have challenged the commentator Of
our best business men while our current Finan-
cial Reports from all the leading money centres
of the country are fuller than have ever been
published by any other journal in Tennessee.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Care of Poultry.


The subject Of the care Of poultry was
discussed at recent meeting Of the
Farmers Club OF New York A com
parison was instituted between the hen
and the duck in tie matter Of egg lay
ing resulting in favor Of the latter In
an experiment carefully made a number
Of hens laid two hundred and fifty-seven
eggs in the same time that an equal num-
Der of ducks had produced six hundred
and seventeen The proximity Of ducks
to the water and the general manner in
which they were treated were said to be
apparent in the number Of eggs laid As
Il sort Of set off to their greater prolifica
cy it was asserted that ducks were much
more destructive in their habits than
hens, running the budding vegetation if
allowed to run at liberty in the spring.
Ii was given as the result Of the expert
ence Of careful observers that wheat
formed the best staple article Of food for
poultry. Their diet, however, should be
varied from time to time. If they were
furnished with suitable food, and atten.
ton paid to the cleanliness of their en-
closure, confinement was no injury to
poultry, either in the number of eggs
produced or in their general health. The
white Bramahs were pronounced a
very superior variety for largeness Of eggs
and frequency of laying They were
also Of excellent quality for the table
In regard To their care in keeping they
were much less trouble than other kinds,
being quiet and not disposed to ay over
an ordinarily high fence Several hens,
indeed, might be kept with their broods
in one enclosure without danger of their.
quarreling The Golden Hamburgs were
equally prolific, but their eggs were much
smaller Three fine imported fowls re-
Gently brought from Creyecour, in Nor-
mandy France were exhibited They
were large black, very tame, said to be
excellent layers, and equally good for
table use One of them began TO Law on
the tenth day after landing from the yes

In the Political Interests of
the People,

The UNION AND DISPATCH. as hereto
fore, will take the Constitution and laws for its
guide; and in the discussion of all the new and
intricate questions and issues arising out of the
extraordinary condition in which the country is
placed, it will adhere to the principles and
teachings of the founders and expOsitOrs of our
government and institutions It will endeavor
to guard with vigilance and defend with unws-
vering earuestnCss and faith the rights and inte-
SITS of all the States and the essential prinei-
les which constitute the basis Of the Republic.
We shall oppose all invasions of these, and
uphold to the utmost of our ability, the union
of the States under them. Feeling that they
are endangered by the revolutionary schemes of
the Radical politicians who now bold the Legis-
Iative power of the Government. we shall abate
ching of our past opposition to their mea-
.ure With these views, which are no less than
,roiound convictions. we cannot and will not
hesitate to defend the unfortunate South from
the aspersions and impOsitions heaped upon its
people, and urge that JUSTICE and RIGHT shall
be melted out to them.

AIR GUNs. Extraordinary interest
has been manifested in the recent
assassination in Brooklyn of a Mr..
Carr ON account of the uncommon
weapon which the murderer used.
This is very natural, as the idea of an
air gun suggests q measure of cow
ardice and o cool. diabolism on the
part Of the person who would use an
instrument of that character which
are by no means pleasant to reflect
upon. Happily, these villainous wea-
pons are little known in this country;
we are informed that there is only
one gunsmith in the. United States
who can manufactureAor repair them.
Among many European nations,
where air guns have been almost CO.
existent with gunpowder, strict re-
strictive measures are enforced against
their construction and sale. They
are, however, surreptitiously manu-
factured, and the few which have
reached this country are of foreign
workmanship.
