MORE CUTTING UP.-Again on last
Saturday evening, the Law abiding citizens
of Pulaski had TO stand quietly and sub
missiYely around and witness another one
Of those disgraceful scenes, enacted BY
drunken rufians, which have become 80
common Of late. Three or fonr men from
the country, under the influence of a very
mean article of "bust-head," we're ranting
up and down Ind Main street from the
shade to the Square, with brickbats and
rocks, threatening TO BUST the head Of
somebody, and with their loud swearing
and obscene language, driving all modest
men in dOors and excluding ladies from the
street. They continued their demonatra-
lions for several hours, cursing loud enough
TO be heard all over town, but the perliee
dida't hear il, or il they did, "eouldn't |
see it,"
ACCOMMODATION TRAIN.-The travelling |
public will be glad to learn that after to-
day an extra accommodation train will be
run FROM this place to Nashville daily, |
leaving here at A. NJ, and returning at 3 |
P NJ. This will be great convenience to |
our business men who desire to spend few |
hours in Nashville and return the same |
day.
- The religious revival which has been |
in progress here for the last year among
the freed people, seems to have turned into |
a dancing revival. They were carrying on |
a big ball al the new building on LIST Main
street, adjoining the "Arcade saloon" at |
very late hour night before last"

As an election will soon be held in Ten |
nessee for Congressman, if Brownlow does |
his duty, il is not too soon to determine /
who shall be the Conservative candidate |
in this district. For ourself, we have no |
hesitation in announcing our preference for |
Hon. Ed Cooper, and we trusthe may have |
the field entirely TO himself He is q |
warm supporter Of President johnson, an |
intelligent gentleman, a fast friend, an at
tentive member, and can take the oath. He |
is Just the kind of man the country needs |
now at Washington City. change at |
this time could be of no advantage-it |
might result in an injury.
- Lincoln county is rapidly filling with |
a hardy, industrious, thrifty class of immi |
grants. Our population is conceded to be |
larger now than before the war. And "yet |
there's room"-and still they come"
Land can be bought here on reasonable |
terms. Our soil yields in generous pro- |
fusion of all the products except those pecu-
liar to the tropics, our climate is genial, |
and our people welcome all newcomer |
not stopping to inquire about theirpolitical
faith-sO they bring industry, Peaceable, |
neighborly disposition aud capital.
We are informed that two stils,
charged with eVading the law, were seized |
by the Collector on Saturday last, and
carried to ShelbyVille. Running without
licens was the specific charge, we under
stand. Those persons who design making
whiskey or other spirituous liquors, are
safe only when they comply with the law
in all its requirements.

THE MURDER OF DRENY-Two Ac-
COUNTS OF THE AFFAIR.-For some TING
past there have been number Of State
warrants in the hands of the proper officer
Of this county, against Elias Wells, living
in the neighborhood of 0Oltowah. On
Wednesday last Mr.. Thos. Denny
Bennett, as we stated yesterday-and an
other man arrested Wells at his home, and
started with him to place him in Jail at
Harrison. On the road Denny turned off
to visit his home, Of course taking his pris-
oner with HIM One account says that
while on this by-road, Wells drew pistol
from his bootleg and shot Denny dead,
and in attempting to XIII the other man,
shot his horse, when the man escaped 20
the woods. Another account says that
while passing the house of Joseph Richie,
or in that neighborhood, Denny and his
associate were ambushed, the former shot
dead and the horse of the other killed,
while the rider escaped. As yet, il is i'm
possible for us to tell which, if either of
these accounts is the true one. MIR. KeeneT,
the jailOT at Harrison in a note TO Sergeant
Hamill, Of the Metropolitan Police, yester-
day, expressed fear that the Jail might be
attacked and the prisoners confined in it
rescued. A number OF outlaws in the up
per end of this county are believed to be
banded together for the purpose of stealing
horses, and as some of the number have
been arrested and are now confined in the
iail it was feared that their associates might
attempt TO rescue them, but we think there
! cannot be much cause for the fear.
