THE WAR IN AFRIcA.-No. - Court
street, was blessed with q delightful little
sensation q few days ago in the shape Of
a isticuR rencontre between 8 couple of
RAIDS OF the rival factions. One, no less
a person than Greedy, the county Regis
ter, and the other Mr.. Haz,ett Of Beau.
mODt's Office. They board in different
families ia the same tenement house and
Hazlett overhead Greedy telling to his
landlsdy the story Of how Beaumont had
gouged Judge Scott. With the glad ex
ubeFancs OF a scslRwag's imagination
when he goes TO describe anything that
he is 80 familiar as stealing OF any sort,
he was dressing up the account in gorge
Gus colOring. Without waiting to be
invited in, Hszlett seized q chair and
went for him, and a lovely tussle ensued
In which Greedy drew the clGret from bis
opponents probosis quite freely, besides
choking him till he was black In the lsce.
No mortal damage was done, however,
to either, 8 fact which their partisan'
variously ~depreeate.

ANEW ECoEoAY.-The Memphis and
Charleston Railroad Company hava es-
tabliShed at Burnsville Station a rolling
mill and furnaces, for rolling out and re-
pairing detective rails. The machinery
was put In motion last week, and, we
understand, Is q perfect success, being
capable OF rolling and repairing some
three and q half mites Of rails per diem.
The operation is very simple, requiring
but little machinery and few workmen,
while the saving thus effected is enor-
mous-the company having been aceus-
toned, hitherto, to send their defective
rails to Chattanooga to be rolled. We
understand that this is another Of the
many excellent suggestions Of Capt. w.
