We Gull The following from thc
Nashville Union and Dispatch of the
3lst March Day after day We hear o.
the destruction Of property by the late
freshet. A letter from jefferson county,
Tennessee, says: 1.-The HOlstOn rivel
was eleven feet higher than ever known
before, causing great destruction Of prop.
erty. Twenty-six buildings, eleven o
them residences, went down the river in
one day. One lodged on McBee's island
Mr.. MeBee visited it as o as possible,
and found a child in bed up stairs. The
child was thought 10 be about six months
old, and was nearly starved. Nothing i:
known 0f its parents, who they are OF
what became of them.
Augustus F. Alden, late 8 member OF
She ID Minnesota volunteer infantry,
has been appointed mmissiOner of reg
i~stratiOn for Davidson county. We
think a native Tennesseean might have
been preferred.
Speaking OF the lands opposite
Nashville the editor says The rich bot
tom on the opposite bank Of the river,
which vas some time since a vast sea OF
water, is now being turned up with the
plOwshare. The hand Of industry will
make IL smile with 4 rich harvest, if the
authorities at the capital do not forbid il
10 rain.
The Shelbyville Union, Of Friday,
saws The last few DAYS Of struggling
sunshine has wonderfully changed the
aspect Of coming events. In every di-
rectiOn we notice peach trees in bloom,
not heavily loaded it is true, yet enough,
II no accident happens, to give Us a few
peaches and cream for summer re-
freshment.
The store house Of Mr.. c. d. Arm
.H~rHn0r Of DnHHaHsa. E.-F--- - Il
strOyed by fire Oh Thursday night last.
His entire stock OF dry goods and gro
ceries was consumed. He was insured,
luckily, for $500 in the Hartford, and
$500 in the "HOme" Of New York.
The Knoxville Wig of the 18th
says At the election for a-ttOrney-gene-
raj Of the seventeenth judicial circuit,
on March 2lst, ten registered negro votes
were cast at JacksbOrO, in Campbell
county. Capt. T.. J. Rogers issued the
certificates. These ten are the first De-
gro votes cast in Tennessee since 1884,
and are the first cast in the late slave
states since the Seventy-two votes
were polled at JacksbOro, Of which Col.
Henry r. Gibson received sixty-twO, in.
GLIDING the entire negro vote, and VIM.
J. Scott received ten. Both candidates
are radicals. The conservatives also
pOlled their full strength without the
slightest disturbance. In their anxiety
10 elect Col. Gibson, all parties and all
cOlOrs harmOnized.
The Daily american Union saws a
Mrs. Smith was al the Crutchffeld house.
on the 3lst Of March, with fourteen
children! No wonder the name Of Smith
is becoming common.
On the same day Mai. Gen. Pope,
commander Of the district COMPOSED Of
the late states Of Florida, Georgia and
Alabama, arrived in Chattanooga, and
was met by Gen. Swayne, in command
of the federal forces in Georgia, with
whom Pope left for Atlanta in the even
ing train.
The Republican Bonncr saws: Farm
ing operations have been much retarded
by the stormy weather Of the past three
OF four weeks. Flowing, ditching, and
all the work Of early spring have been
interrupted. Now that the rains have
ceased and the earth dried 50 as to admit
Of being broken up, our farmers will
have 70 strain every nerve to make up
for lost time. Much that Is usually done
in the latter part Of February and in
March, viii now have 10 be done ia April,
OF left undone altogether. Sh~Orthsnded,
as most of the southern farmers are under
the new system Of labor, there is ground
for the apprehension that they viii be
unable 10 carry out the plans they had 50
carefully formed. The only wise course
for them TO pursue is to do the best that
circumstances admit Of and leave the
rest 70 Providence. We have cause 10
be thankful that Tennessee has escaped
those fearful disasters that we read Of
elsewhere in the south and southwest. 1
