TExrERAScE.-The Temperance move
msnt has arisen, Phtnuix-like, from the
ashes OF the late civil war, and seems to be
gaining friends and growing in favor every
where. There are now forty-fotr Divisions
Of the Sons Of Temperance in this State
A Division was instituted in this place on
the 9Th Of November last which now mum.
bees about eighty members, and steadily in.
ere ,sing. The people have never felt the
need Of something Of this kind more urgent
ly than at the present time. The citizens OF
Do'er have been aroused to action in this
matter and a Division was recently institut.
ed there. The following is a list of the off.
GERS for the present quarter;
W. J. Broaddus W. p; J. W, Smith, W
A.; Jas. p Flood, r. s.; George Brandon
A. II. s.; VIM. datline, +. s.; RS. Le
m ,ster, Treas; Hamilton Settle, Chaplain
J. S. VIM, Cond.; W. W. Webster, A. c.;
J. N. Horn, !. g.; I, F. Cook, o. s.; W
Cook, p. W. P.
Mr.. W, J. Broad dhs will be remembered Al
one OF the staunch friends Of the cause wher
he resided in this place, previous to the war
He has the ability, and with the wide field
OF latOr before him, he will doubtless accom-
plish great deal Of good.

Tobacco Market.

Our sales, for last week, add up l4s bids.
Prices ranged at about last weeks quota
tioqs. Medium leaf still appears too high
compared with other grades, As we re-
marked IN our last, fine fancy leaf will bring
figures far above Our quotations, when they
appear at cdr breaks. ~. -.
Messrs. Hutchings L Grinter sold, on Fri.
day last, prettily handled, bright hid,
raised by Mr.. Joe. Russ, of Todd county,
Ky, at $24 60, 'twould have brought more
money had it been more closely assorted.
We hear continued complaints of the
Louisville l. Nashville R. R., from our plant
ing friends in Todd and Logan. We hear
that they refuse to allow cars to be loaded
with tobacco for GAINESVILLE, sometimes for
weeks; but tobacco marked for Louisville
goes forward within twenty flour hours
Planters near AlTensville and tfadensville are
about TO abandon the R. r. and resort to
wagons to haul their produce here.
As the Railroads, under their charter, are
compelled to take freight promptly to either
terminus, and procure the necessary rolling
stock If they have not sufficient, we would
suggest TO our Warehousemen, az remedy
for their grievances, q prompt suit against
the R. r. Co., in each and every case, il
which freight marked for GAINESVILLE 10 de-
=.
Guilty in getting up a good purse, among the
Tobacco Board, to aid them in the expense
Of these suits.
Messrs. Harrison 4 Shelby, A. r. Smith l.
Co. and Hutchings 4 Grinter opened the
market this week with sales on Tuesday Of
f27 hhds.
There were but few reflections, planters be-
ing well satisfied with the prices paid.

In an ssinins speech before tho Brown

one Houk threw himself In q Bombastss Fu-
rioso attitude, snd declared himself ready 70

white peo6ls. Hers is the key 70 the Radi-
cal love iSr the negro. ,rhey are always
ready to1ead the negroes, and hold Office by
virtue Of their votes. but haze 10 idea Of
sharing the hofors with their colorad 'frisnds
and for this reason have coupled the suffrage
extension to them with disqualification TO
run for Office. We have no doubt, Mr..
Houk, at the head Of his regiment of negroes,
will win. the laureis he now wears to throw
at the feet of those dark daughters, whose
smiles and encouragement from the galleries,
doubtless, inspired this burst Of martial ar
dor. He already has a prestige in that re-
spect, having once attempted to beat an old
blind negro out of his printing Office, in
Nashville, and ended in Leading the negro,
who followed him at run. He is certainly
designed for leader of negroes.

!, LAUuh AID GRow FAr.--we called on DR..
II. N. xcrrc the other day, to have laugh.
There was no laughing gas on hand, bowev-
er, and 70 we declined to tax his proifsred
courtesy 70 make some for Us, and contented
Ourselves with an examination Of the hand
some apparatus 10 which be makes the "Ni.
tsoas Oxide" or laughing gas. It'pleased
our somewhat praeticed chemical tastes, very
much, By the psrfectness Of all its arrage-
menu for the turning out Of perfectly pure
product. The use of this gas has been at
tended with bad eifects-never very serious,
howcver---by permitting improper elements
to combine wiiht through faulty apparatus,
and modes Of process In the manufacture
OF 1t. As DR.. AGREE makes Il, it Is simply
impossible to obtain any impurities with the
gas, and Is therefore perfectly safe and harm.
less. Besides this method of painless ex.
traction, Is another new invention he is now
using for the same purpose, called Narcotic
Spray" II Is a very simple and elegant
continuance for concentrating the spray of
Ether upon the tooth to be drawn. The well
known rapid evaporation Of Ether reduces
the tooth and It's nervous ligaments to the
temperature Of ice In a few moments, and
whilst thus chilled the tooth Is drawn with
comparatively no pain. It Is superior to all
inhala,ions because II only affects the part
TO which It Is applied. Both of these inven.
tons are recognized as valuable by scientific
dentists Some, doubtless, may sheer at
them as Empirical, but that which relieves
an eIcruciating operation Of its misery,
without danger to the patient can never be
called 30, except BY ignorance or prejudice.
Amongst the very large ard elegant col.
lection of dental instruments In the Doctors
rooms we were especially struck with late
invention called the Automatic plugger."-
By means Of . spring II brings TO bear upon
the minutest parts Of the plug mora power
full force than the hand could give alone.--
The same force evenly exerted upon the
entire surface OF the plug, makes it . COM
plete protection against the fluids Of the
mouth, which cannot DO insured with the
old plugging instruments.
Dr.. Acree's workmanship indicates his
possession Of that most valuable faculty of
his art, exquisite mechanical skill, and his
general treatment Of the teeth proves this
poe 'ession to b coupled with a complete
knowledge Of the theoretical part Of his pro-
fession.

evening this Company brought out their
''Masheen," and gave our people an exhi.
bition that reflected great credit upon their
progress in the management of the Deluge

They threw . stream Of water over the

that the Engine had received the attention
which mother bsstows upon her little dar-
