GRAND TOURNAMENT AND BALL
AT WATER VALLEY.


The fast growing and pleasant town of
Water Valley, Miss, was witness to a gay
and pleasant scene during Friday and Sat
urday Of last week The long talked of
Tournament, advertised to come of on the
9Th and 9th Of July, though not a success
in a pecuniary sense, owing to the continued
bad weather was most certainly a success
IN every other particular. The horseman
ship displayed upon that occasion has never
been surpassed IN this country, and the man
agement and arrangements were complete IN
every particular, showing thht the managers
have worked with zeal worthy of better
success. Early on the morning of the 5th
a heavy rain came on. which continued more
or less during the entire day, thereby pre-
venting a great many from attending who
would otherwise have done so. However, a
goodly number Of the beauty and chivalry
of Mississippi graced the occasion with their
presence, Notwithstanding the bad weather,
and we are sure went away feeling well re-
paid for their trouble.
The ovation Of Capt Barksdale, which
was expected to come off on the 9Th was
postponed, as well as the contest for the first
prize.
An elegant Bohemian Sett was announced
as the prize tor the successful knight, and
after very exciting and interesting contest
which lasted several hours, the prize was
awarded to Mr. G. W. IdcKie, of Marshal
county, he having taken rings.
1t was then announced that prize of {
fine Saddle and Bride would be awarded t.
the most graceful rider, when the following
gentlemen entered as contestants:

FINE CRoPs.-Last week we made a trip
to Nashville and noted the fine crops grow
ing all along the Memphis and Charleston
and Nashville and Decatur railroads. The
corn crop is certainly the largest and finest
that we ever beheld; especially does this APP
ply to the Tuscufnbia valley. from Corinth to
Decatur we could not count but six or seven
cotton fields, and from the latter point to
Nashville there is scarcely a decent field of
cotton, in point Of size, though the plants
look remarkably well. Before the war the
Tuscumbia valley, or rather the red lands,
along the NJ & G. R. r. between the points
above mentioned, produced an enormous
amount Of cotton every year BY the teach
ings of the past and the necessities of the
present a great change has been brought
about, and the feecy king has been made to
stand aside for a more substantial and relia-
BILE growth No one acquainted with the
sufferings experienced by the Southern peo-
pie last winter can view the present grow
ing crops of corn between this point and
Nashville without expressing the conviction
that for once this people are on the right
track-that Of selEsustenauce. One or two
more rains, and the Tennessee valley and
the rich slopes of the Middle Division of
the State will feed ten times the population
they contain. The wheat crop of Middle
Tennessee turned out a No. l. We heard
of the finest quality of wheat selling in
Giles county at one Dollar per busheI. The
crop in North Alabama also proved album
dant and of good quality.

TENNESSEE AGRICULTURE, 1866.

For general information we compile from
a lengthy report made by the Commission
ers of Agriculture, the facts and figures as
regards the amount and value of the vari-
Gus crops produced in this State during the
year 1866 1t will be seen that the cotton
crop has been omitted, owing to the fact
that at the time the estimate was made
proper returns could not be secured, as the
entire crop had not been accounted for:

One White Man Killed and Eight
Wounded
-O-
Eighteen Blacks Wounded, Three
Mortally.

John Trimble. Esq, and other candidates
were speaking at Franklin, Williamson
county, Tennessee, on the day the riot oc-
occurred. A dispatch from Nashville says
that a large crowd Of whites and negroes
attended. The proceedings were orderly,
but i'll feeling and excitement grew up after
the meeting. When night came the League,
who had been in procession, laid aside their
regalia, left the hall and returned TO the
public square, where a collision Immediately
occurred. It is alleged that they were fred
on by party Of whites and colored Conserva-
tives-COdy, livery stable keeper, firing
the first shot The fire was instantly re-
turned. The affair lasted but few moments
"a half minute, perhaps. There appeared
to be volly in attack, and a scattering re
ply, resulting in the death Of Cody, shot
through the heart, and the wounding of
eight whites and eighteen blacks three of
the latter are mortally wounded. Some of
the wounded blacks are Conservatives.
The black Radicals were very much exas-
perated, and threatened to renew the fight
but Dr. CliFe interposed, and prevailed upon
them to desist On one hand it is claimed
that the colored leaguers were armed,
menacing in department, and desired a
light on the other, that they had been pre-
viously repeatedly assaulted, and had armed
in seIEdefense, and that the attack evineed
preparation and design, It was appre-
hended that the difficulty would be renewed
next day, but all was quiet A company of
the 45th regulars left Nashville for Franklin
to maintain quiet, The affairs depIored by
ali parties
On Sunday afternoon one of a company
of militia stationed at Tullahoma was shot
and killed by Dewitt Bassett, captain in the
late rebel army. Inspector General Hurd
has taken steps to preserve the peace there
and have the murder investigated.

BOLD AssRRTIoN.-Last Tuesday public
meeting was held in the town of La Grange
Fayette county, at which speeches were
made by six different persons, one of whom
was q negro named Carter. The crowd was
composed of five or six hundred negroes and
thirty or forty whites. Carter made use of
highly inAamatory words, and said that there
was not to be found, even with lantern in
broad day light, one honest man in the Con-
servative party His object seemed to be
very bad one indeed, for he never failed to
appeal to the passions and prejudices of his
race. Just such harrangues brought about
the New Orleans, Memphis, Brownsville,
Franklin riots, and are always the starting
points of lawlessness, rapine and murder.
This instigator of evil is made the associate
Of white men, who, doubtless, applaud him
for the assertion that there is not an honest
man in the Conservative party. Whittier

Whereupon G. W. McKie was declared
the winner Of the prize and entitled to the
privilege of browning the Queen of Love
and Beauty" while Mr. Brewer was awarded
the privilege of browning the first Maid Of
Honor
The contest then took place between
Messrs. Pierson and A. Robinson as to who
should crown the second Maid of Honor,
and the lot fell to Pearson
It was then announced that Messrs Avent
and Jas Robinson would enter che ring upon
horses without bride and saddle, and con-
tend for the honor of browning the fourth
Maid Of Honor, and this proved to be the
most interesting and exciting scene of the
day. Mr.. Avent entered first, upon young
and wild mare, and very much to the sur
prise of the audience succeeded in taking
one ring. Then came Jas. Robinson, upon
a beautiful bay mare, as feet as the wind,
and succeeded also in taking one ring.
A second tilt was had, and Charley Avent
was declared the winner, he having taken
two rings, while his opponent took one.
These two young men proved to the delighted
audience that they were not only graceful
but expert horsemen, and their daring feats
called forth such rounds of applause as was
never before heard IN Yoeona bottom.
After this came the awarding Of prizes by
the Herald, DR. s s Harris, as follows
To G. W. MeKie, as prize for FIRST days
t;lHng, a fine Bohemian Sett; also, to g. w.
McKie, as prize for second days fitting, a
fine Gold Watch, and to a. c. Brewer, as
prize for the most graceful rider a fine
Saddle and Bride
The successful knights then presented the
ladies of their choice, and the crowns were
awarded By Mr. S. B. MeConnico, as follows:
Mr.. G. W. McKie named Mrs. Lula Wal
ton, of Aberdeen, Miss, as Queen of Love
and Beauty.
A. c. Brewer named Miss Ella MoCon-

The contest was indeed close, and the
judges found great difficulty in deciding as
to who was entitled to the prize; but finally
settled upon Mr.. A. c. Brewer. We believe
the majority of the audience were in favor
of Mr.. Jas. Robinson-he certainly, if not
the most graceful, was the most daring rider
in the ring
This ended the first days proceedings.
At night grand Ball came off at the Sim
mons Hotel, and a nice affair it was. SeEe-
raj hundred persons were present, and among
them some of the most beautiful women it
has ever been our fortune to meet with.
Mine host, Mr. A. V. Simmons, showed a
" full hand at the supper table, very much
to the delight of several hundred ladies and
gentlemen, who feasted to their hearts con-
tent The dance was kept up until the APP
proach of the " wee small hours"
SATURDAY MORNING.
This morning looked as though a repeti-
tion of the rain Of the day before would be
experienced, and doubtless many were pre-
vented from attending through fear of a
ducking." However, the day proved to be
more propitious than the preceding one, and
a large and intelligent crowd turned out to
witness the sports of the day.
At II o'clock Capt BarksdaIe, Of Coffee
vile, was introduced to the audience as
Orator of the day We regret that we have
not space to give his speech, as it was beau
tiful and eloquent, and was listened to with
marked attention by the whole audience.
After the grafton it was announced that the
fitting for the Gold Watch would take place.
