Henry Farmer, the Great American
FIutist.

How pleasing it is TO trace the career of
genius from obscurity and poverty to fame
and affluence-from the first faint, delicate
intimation of extraordinary faculties to
their full development and ripe maturity.
Perhaps no art or science is richer in ex-
amples of this description than that of
music. Before the war, an humble coun
try lad then residing near Pulaski, Ten
nessee), paid his first visit TO this or any
other city. His curiosity IVES attracted by
the wonderful display Ito HIM of fruits,
vegetables, meats, etc, at the markethouse.
His means not permitting him 10 make
any purchase, a marketer gave him a tur
nip; pairing and eating this, he strolled
through the streets until be arrived at Nc
Cures music store. Some one was
playing the piano. lie took his
position in the center Of the floor and re-
manned spell-bound until the performer
ceased. Approaching the instrument, he
touched the keys, the response startled him.
Perceiving that il gave no Offense to the
good-nstured owner of the establishment,
after gazing with mute wonder upon piles
of music, musical instruments, apparatus,
etc, he sought to ascertain the quality and
capacity of each and every instrument.
But the flute pleased him most, and great
was the amazement as he would initiate his
lungs, and then his cheeks, TO their utmost
capacity in his prodigious efforts to Gil it.
No subsequent opportunity of visiting this
temple Of sweet sounds was allowed
10 pass. Eventually young Henry was
enabled TO become the happy own
er Of his favorile musical instrument, and
no matter how severe the labor, toll
and disappointments of the day, they were
sure TO be relieved by the solace of the flute.
st night.
The war breaking ont, he joined Col.
afterwards GEM Jacksons Confederate
cavalry and was made bugler, and was in
all the engagements of this celebrated COM
mand. Yet he always carried his flute
with him, and at the conclusion of the days
marching or fighting, while his comrades
we're sleeping around their camp fires, the
witching notes Of his magic flute could be
heard upon the night, refreshing the slum-
bers or relieving the fatigue Of bis compan-
ions in arms, and many we're the sighs and
tears that welcomed the tender, touching,
familiar air of Home, Sweet Home. While
in Huntsville, Alabama, Mrs. Glenn Clay
was 30 charmed with his fascinating music
that she bestowed upon the youthful Henry
the soubriquei of The Eolean Piper"
which he has ever since retained. The war
concluded, young Farmer selected the finest
masters and devoted himself exclusively
TO the cultivation of his favorite art and
science, until he has made himself to the

.,v..r,ov ON sOUTH FRONT.

Eighty rive Thousand Dollars I'm Gold
EuDDosed 20 Have Been UneartIled-
Romance and Mystery ExtraortlI-
nary.
A short time since, gentleman arrived
In Nashville from the city of New York,
on a most singular errand. He brought
with him a sketch Of house and lot on
South Front street. that had been given
him by dying ex-soldier cf the Federal
army. With the last expiring breath the
soldier had given ii him, telling him that
At the root Of a tree represented in the
sketch, lay buried an old camp-kettle in
which had been deposited eighty fve thou
sand dollars in gold. This treasure had
been stolen and thus hidden some time
during the war By the soldier and some Of
bis comrades, the premises then being
occupied By the military. Fearing detec-
ton, they had left the gold undisturbed up
to the time when Johnny went marching
home" and the secret was divulged to no
one until the death of this one Of the party.
The man who brought the sketch to this
city seems to have been one of those indi.
viduals better adapted to luck than to
thinking for himself, and had not the
gumption to follow out the hints that had
been given him. Failing to find the
premises that had been pictured for him,
he 10 jovial and unguarded moment be-
trayed the secret to some new and rollick-
ing acquaintance, who listened with open
mouths and took in everything the New
Yorker said, and finally managed TO get
hold of the sketch itself.
The premises, it seems, turned ont to be
those Of Capt. Harmon, on South Fornt
street. During Thursday night it became
evident that some person or persons were
prowling about the premises, and
noise az Of digging in the garden
soil was heard. Somebody in or
about the house, getting an idea Of thieves
and burglars, fired a shot in the direction
from which the mysterious sounds seemed
10 come, and in an instant the dull echo Of
retreating footsteps were heard, as the in
truder or intruders hurriedly made their
way to the street. On Friday morning the
earth in the garden was found torn up in
several places, as if with spade, and there
was every evidence that there had been
nocturnal search for subterranean object
Of some sort, and yesterday the story Of the
man from New York leaked out, and was
taken as a solution Of the mysterious ope-
Tations.
One Of the strangest things, however,
connected with this very strange affair il,
that two years ago a son Of Capt. Hartman
dreamed Of finding a large amount Of trea-
sure buried at the roots Of tree in the
garden, but not until the digging in the
yard had been instituted by unknown per-
sons, did he once think of needing his
curious dream. Yesterday he was busily
engaged in search for the old camp-kettle
and the hidden gold, but up TO a late hour
no signs Of either had rewarded him.
II is a question now whether, if the story
be really true in regard to the hiding of
SO large a sum, the parties who first searched
for il have not already spirited it away.

THE CHoCTAw BALL PLAYERS. We
are informed through a message from Gen.
Falsom, of Arkansas, that early in the pre-
sent week, the agent, Mr.. Henderson
will arrive with his company of forty
Choctaw Indians, who will present to this
public one of the rare entertainments
afforded by this troupe. This consists in
various gymnastic and athletic exhibitions,
the chief of which is the celebrated game
of Wild Indian Bail. To this the civilized
base ball is said to be a tame business.
Wherever these men of the forest have
been, their exhibitions have attracted large
crowds of visitors; and we have no doubt
they will be literally patronized in this
city by our base ball friends, big and little.

WAYEEsBoRo, June II, 1S68.-For the
information of those interested, would
state that the individual alluded to in the
inclosed is now living at this place; if
once dead, he has certainly come to life.
Some ten days ago he came to this place,
and is now employed as shoemaker, and
ia known by the name of Seburn Jones.
But the mail arrived, and brought the
UNION AND DISPATCH, which told tale.
Seburn was arrested, tried before a Magis-
trate and released, the evidence being not
sufficient in point of law to commit him to
Jail. His own tale about the matter con-
trsdicls the charges against him. He says
they we're gotten up, and for a purpose
his wife died, somebody wanted the proper
ty. He left Nashville with two children
left them at his sisters, near Culleoka,
Maury county. From his conversation
here, previous to his arrest, he expects the
baby is dead by this time" In fact, since
he came here, he has been drinking little,
and acts at times as though he was par
tally deraDged has said much abont his
deceased wife and two children.
Was anybody hung on the Walker tree ?

THE NORTHWESTERN RoAD.-On yes
terday party of gentlemen living along
the line Of the Northwestern railroad, were
in the city. They were merchants, trades
men and farmers, and came, some as far as
McEwen's station, distant some sixty miles,
in rough oad-wagons, being forced to this
extreme for the absolute necessities Of life.
Other parties farther out are shipping sup
plies by way of Danville, on the Memphis
and Charleston road by way Of the Tenes-
see river. These gentlemen represent the
state of affairs since their isolation as being
extremely deplorable. Would it not be
we'll, since the State authorities have sig
nifed their unwillingness to rectify the
outrageous mess, for our merchants to get
up manifesto against the innovation upon
.heir trade, and by their influence, ostra-
else the incorporating bummers who
pretend to work for their good. For our
part, we have long since sickened of the
"carpet-bagger's" attempt to run railroads,
and hope some definite action will soon be
taken to remedy the evil.
