Brownlow for Sending
the Colored People Back
to Africa.

| OhS SS1O@ SS< = SSkS4N DSSCAA
| to Africa.
Brownlow said In his debate
with Pryne:
"Kou can not free the negro
acihout running him. If YOU
FREE Hin YOU MUST SEND
HIM BACK TO AFRICA,
WHERE He CAME FROM
I tell you that If erer the randal
abolition hordes from hell and tie
North free the negro they aciU hare
to supply the funds to send them
to LjJeria.' -
This is the Brownlow doctrine,
and if Brownlow is elected, it
will not be year before he will
favor a law to send the colored
people off from Tennessee to re-
enslave them, sell them in South
America or Cuba for Spanish gold,
and appropriate the money to the
school fund which he and his con-
federates have squandered. He
has betrayed his friends once, and
has no motive not to betray the
colored people who have been his
lifelong enemies. The game he
is playing is to get in power again,
and then to run the freemen off
to another country.-Ba,aner.

To Bring up Seed Quick.

Those not provided with a hot
bed, may hasten the termination
of seed sown in the garden by
covering the bed with bits of
boards or old shingles. Seeds cov-
cred in this way will come up in
half the time that will be requir-
ed if left open, and it will, besides,
give them vigorous start. The
reason is that the covering will
prevent the escape of ammonia
from the soil and keep a good sup
ply just at the surface where the
seeds are deposited, and it is from
ammonia that the plants get nj
trogen, their chief food. This plan
is not only useful to seeds sown
early, for early vegetables, but
especially so when planting has
been unavoidably delayed till late
in the season. Remove the boards
as soon as the plants appear.

Brown1ow Desires to Ex-

Rid Of the Negro Race.

In the Knoxville Wig, publish

men that he wants them freed only
for the reason that he, BFoUaloao,
be7ieres 1t aoM be the rexy means Of
ertingui8hing the negro raoe.--
Brownlow says:
"We have never differed with
the South upon the abstract ques-
ton of slavery, and do not no,0
differ; and we are free to say, that
the condition of the slaves when
liberated, # left IN the South ,oiU Be
arorse than it has been during
their servitude. But we are for
emancipating every negro In the
South Notwithstanding ALL"
He says "for taking this ground
we have just t'10 controllingsrea-
sons" First, he says, cit will be
the severest punishmentof of South
arn Rebels that can be inflicted"
And next, "it will be the very
means of ertinguishing the negro

A singular duel has recently
taken place at Berlin between a
journeyman silversmith and an
other artisan. The arms selected
were a bottle of sulphuric acid
The arrangement was that which
ever of the two adversaries threw
the lowest with dice should swal-
low the contents of the fatal vial,
Chance favored the silversmith,
who Immediately poured out a
glass of liquor and handed it to
his adversary, who unhesitatingly
drank off the liquid, but to the
astonishment of his antagonist, in
stead of falling senseless, smacked
his lips and asked for another
glass. The seconds had acted on
the sensible idea of substituting
arrack for corrosive fluid. The
affair terminated in a reconcilia-
tion.

PLANT Corn OR GET NOTHING
FOR CoTToN.-The New York
World addresses an argument to
the cotton-mad planters of the
South, which strikes them at a
point least expected. 1t says -
''It is to be hoped that the expe-
rience of the past season will
cause the people of the South
to give more attention to the
growth of articles of food. 1t is
a very short-sighted policy for
Southern planters to depend upon
the Northwestern States for meats
and breadstuffs, when suffciency
can be grown by them in connec-
tion with other crops. Leading
authorities agree that a principal
cause of the dullness and decline
in cotton is the high cost of food,
and one great cause of the high
cost of food is the demand to feed
the utterly destitute South. There
is no increase in the production
of articles of food proportionate
to the demand for them partly,
no doubt, because agriculture in the
Northern and Western States has
not been 80 remunerative as man.
ufacsures. This is one of the
pernicious results of protection
But, in any event, it is the true
interest of the South to grow a
greater diversity of crops. 1t
should not put too many eggs In
one basket.
