Important Change in ship

In a notice published a few days
since, addressed to cotton growers
and shippers in this district, they
were notified they could ship their
cotton to certain houses therein
named, without prepayment of

new regulations, series s, No. 5,
also blank permits and taxes. We
are now prepared to permit the
transportation of cotton to any

License of Language In
Newspapers.

We cannot longer forbear to
protest against the unseemly Ii
cense of language INDUCED in by
several of our exchanges in their
local columns. The dignity and
responsibility of journalism, the
purity of our language and our
communications, aud the cause of
morality, alike demand that this
protest be made. 1t is to be la
mented that any newspaper, os-
tensibly published for better pur-
poses, should be prostituted to
such a base use as vending low
slang and obscene jests, and the
circulation of coarse illusions to
subjects not allowed in polite So
ciety. The fact that journals
claiming to be respectable-fdmity
newspapers--are so prostituted,
habitually, almost Systematically,
is too notorious to be ignored, and
too offensive to be passed without
comment. The evil grows day by
day and week by week more flag
rant and shameless, and there
is hardly any excess of license
or looseness in language that may
not be expected. unless a stern
and general rebuke is put forth
without delay.

Cropping on Shares.

The Franklin Review has the
following:
"From what we can see and
gather, the farmers who are crop
ping on shares with freedmen in
this county will, as general rule,
abandon the plan another year
We know a good many fields that
would with anything like proper
cultivation have grown rich crops
Of corn and cotton, but were aban-
doned or neglected during the late
canvass to such an extent that
they are entirely ruined. Our
farmers generally would do well
to profit by such lessons, which by
no means arise from isolated cases,
and shape their plans accordingly.
"There is less probability of
securing good work next year than
this, and we are satisfied, after
careful study, that the true policy
of our farmers is to sow a largely
increased body of land in grass
and grain-which we anticipate
they will do. The farmer who
next year, cultivates his lands with
the least labor-or in palmer
words who so arranges his crops a!
to need bat little assistance in
their cultivation-will be better
off, and make more clear money
without half the annoyance ane
trouble, than he who depends OF
the uncertain plan of cropping or
the shares or producing good crop:
with hired labor. And the great
er the number who adopt thi.
course, the better for their owl
good and the welfare of the coun
try"

DR.. V. Burk having observed
in 1862 that about two hundred
persons working in and around a
copper foundry were not attacked
by cholera, even during the worst
stages of the epidemic, made fur
ther inquiries, and found that all
persons handling this metal, whom
he met, enjoyed the same iumu-
nifty. He therefore concluded to
try the use OF copper as a medi-
cine for those attacked by cholera.
A late communication to the
French Academy by DR.. Isle of
the lunatic asylum, MarsailIes, con-
tains the statement that he had
cured twenty out of twenty-four
patients by administering sulphate
of copper.

Important Decision.

The Knoxville Free Press Of

ter Whitesides, pending in the Su-
preme Court at Knoxville:
It has exS ed much interest
Whitesides was a Confederate sol
der. Acting under the orders OF
his superior officer, he participated
at least such was the charge
in the burning of a house in Greene
county, during the war. He was
indicted in the Circuit Court OF
Greene county, was tried by said
court, convicted, and sentenced
to the penitentiary for twenty
years. A new trial was granted
and upon a second trial he was
convicted and sentenced for fifteen
years, from which Judgment he
appealed in error to the Supreme
! Court.
The Supreme Court yesterday
rendered an elaborate opinion in
the case. The judgment below
was reversed and absolutely arrest
ed, and the defendant discharged
Mr.. Whitesides is the son of the
late Hon. j. A. Whitesides, of Chat
tanooga
We learn that soon after his
discharge by the Supreme Court
Mr.. Whitesides was arrested up
on capias from Greene county
He gave bail promptly. His rep
utation has always been as coed as
that of any young man in the
State for honesty and propriety

No CAUSE FOR GRUMBLING.-Ther
are certain chronic grumblers who de-
light in predicting hard times, particu-
larly at this season of the year, when
winter is just at hand. 1t is not good
policy, of course, to color the picture of
the times too highly, but it is certainly
safe 20 say that there is no ground for
special complaint. Itappears from the
figures in the crop estimates made by
the Agricultural Bureau at Washington
that the wheat crop of the United States
will this year be nearly fifty per cent.
larger than it was last year. Upon the
supply Of wheat depends the price OF
-four, and hence no trouble in the bread
market need be apprehended. Some of
the minor crops are not up to the aver
age yield, but thereis no reason to grum-
bic about any Of them. With the un-
usually large wheat crop, the price OF
coal considerably reduced, dry goods
from fifty to one hundred per cent. low
er than they were two years ago, gen
eral prices constantly tending down.

son and financial soundness-With all
these encouraging circumstances there
is no cause for complaint about hard
times-eXcept for drOnes.
