Prosperity Of a Hardeman Town.

From the following letter it win be seen
that Salisbury, on the line of the Memphis
& Charleston Railroad, in this county, is a
thriving place, and destined 10 be quite
city:
SALISBURY, Oct 8tb, 1868.
EDTOR BJ4LETIN:
DEAR SIR: I DESIRE through the columns
Of your worthy paper, to inform your read
ers of our doings here, in a commercial
point of view. Since the opening of bust
ness this season, think that facts and
fguers win show to any one that this point
is excelliDg any other country town as far
as quantity and prices of cotton is concerned.
Notwithstanding the severe rains and havock
of the boleworm in our vicinity, we have
bought and shipped from this place 3G5 bales
Of cotton already; and to show the increase
in business, L Will just say that SO bales
were received here to-day. The prices given
seem almost incredible, considering the quo
tations at Memphis Cotton opened here at
25 cents, but since then a decided decline
would not justify such heavy prices here,
and now middIing cotton is going at 23O24,
and, in cases OF slow debts, even higher
prices can be obtained. This price at the
present time almost completes with Memphis,
and is quoted to show you the disposition of
the merchants towaI ds tie planters 1 am
not in the business, but can plainly see that
the merchant here IS not willing to let the
farmer 90 unrewarded for his yearly toll,
and it is generally the case, that the planter,
often looking at Memphis quotations. Won
ders that such prices can be obtained here.
Goods and groceries are sold here at exceed
ingly low prices, the competition being so
gaat. buildings have gone up rapidly since
the war, and business at Salisbury would
increase much faster Il lots and rents we're
not so high. It VIII be seen from the an
nual report to the stockholders Of the Mem
phis & Charleston Railroad Co., that there
is more freight received here and a greater
number of cotton bales shipped than from
any other point on the road, not even OK
oepting Huntsville, Alabama. To illustrate
this, cotton Is brought from within FIVE miles
of the Mobile & Ohio road, the distance from
here being IS or 40 miles. This proves that
the advantage lies in this market.

The Elections.

Returns from the great States Of Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana are not yet com
plete Latest advices inform Us that, as a
whole, the States named above have gone
against the Democrats by very small MAORI
ties, and that the radicals have sustained a
loss Of seven or eight Congressman. There
is no cause to despond yet. Look at the
figures: In 1865 Pennsylvania gave %, sos
radical majority; now the same party only
carry the State by about 1900; Philadel-
phia elects a Democratic mayor; the Demo
Gratis gain two congressman as far as heard
from.
In 1868 Ohio was carried by the radicals
to the tune of IOI, O99 majority; now the
same State goes radical by not more than
1000 at the outside; elects Vallandigham,
and Strader to Congress, a clear gain Of two;
other closely contested districts to hear from.
Indiana was carried by the radicals in
1864 by a majority OF 2O883; now the re-
suit IS very doubtful, and if carried by the
same party, their majority will be less than
2,OOOl The Democrats elect Voorhees,, thus
reducing the radical representation in Con-
gress.
Reports from Nebraska say that Taffee,
radical, beats Poppleton, Democrat, for Con
gress, and that the State, admitted IN June,
1865, has gone against the Democrats.
No reports from Iowa as yet
On the day Of election, riotiHg prevailed
in many wards in Philadelphia; four per-
sons were killed and many more seriously
wounded.
All things considered, we have much to
encourage US yet. Think of the heavy losses
sustained by the radicals during the past
few years, rs shown above; put your shout
der more firmly to the wheel, and push with
all your might. Now or never. Redouble
all your efforts; Seymour and Blair may be
elected yet Don't give up stick to your
principles and fight for them Ike men. II
the sober head Of Seymour is to yield to a
Keeling stormborn mushroom save your
conscience and be able to say in the future
that you did all you could to elect a states
man N opposition to a drunken horse jock
ey. We say there is life in the old land
yet, and that there is q chance for success
on the third day OF November.
On the 22d inst West Virginia votes
this will close the State elections prior to the
day on which we are to elect a President,
on which day New York New Jersey, Del
aware, Maryland, Illinois, Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Ne
vada and Tennessee will hold their State
elections.

HATCHIE RIy OR For more than two
years, at intervals, we have been pegging
away at the good work Of re-opening to nav
igation Big Hatohie river, ard, until lately,
met with no public encouragement. At last
the important measure has attracted atten-
ton in Memphis, and CLEAN Of hope be-
gins to shine forth. As the Shelby members
of the legislature of IS65--headed by F. s.
Richards--were the agents who manipulated
the bill that passed and declared the river a
nuisance % from Brownsville up, it is moth
ing but right that the same representatives
should be importuned by Memphians to IN
do the great wrong practiced upon, not only
the poole of Hardeman, Haywood, Lauder
dale and Upton counties, but upon the COM
merce of Memphis. The reason for closing
up Hatchie river was no reason at all. The
whole upshot of the business was this, moth
ing more: Before the war; there was a
draw in the bridge where the Memphis and
Ohio railroad crosses the river near Browns
Vile, and steamboats, could then pass and
repass at will, often coming up to Bolivar
fairly freighted and returning loaded with
cotton and other products of the rich coun-
try through which the river flows; during
the war the bridge in question was destroy
cd when the struggle was over the NJ. 40.
r. T. Company commenced repairing the
damages to their road, and, in order to cur
tail expenses, not careing who it would in
lure or whose lands would be deprecated,
or whose communications would be broken
up, petitioaed the legislature to give them
the right to span the river with a common
straight bridge, without a draw, as a struc-
ture Of that kind would cost much less than
the one destroyed The petition prevailed,
and, as a consequence, the river was de-
clared a nuisance Steamboatmen who are
familiar with Hatchie river all know and
say that it is navigable stream, and the
cid merchants Of Memphis know that they
used to ship, on boats that prospered in the

THE revolution in Cuba assume
greater proportions the more we learn
concerning it. The revolutionists made
determined fight at Baire. Owing to
the fact that the details have been sup
pressed and much of thenews received
obtained through correspondents (the
telegraph wires having been cut, we
can only determine that the patriots,
instead of disbanding in dependency,
are animated by the hopes of ultimate
success. Puerto Principe, the second
town in importance in the Eastern De-
partment, is the scene of a revolt. The
Capital of the Eastern Department,
Santiago de Cuba, is menaced hy the
revolutionists, and a rising in the West
ern Department is expected every mo-
ment, from all of which it is apparent
that the Government has failed to assert
its power, and has sedulously labored,
intellectually, however, to conceal the
actual state of affairs. Judging from re
cent advices, it is impossible to form any
idea of the future government of the
Island.

Declivtty of Rivers.

A very slight declivity suffices to give
the running motion to water. Three
inches per mile, in smooth straight
channel, gives velocity of three miles
an hour. The Ganges, which gather the
waters of the Himalaya Mountains, the
loftiest i'm the world, is estimated at
eighteen hundred miles from its mouth,
only about eight hundred feet above the
level of the sea, and to fall eight hundred
feet in its long course, the water requires
more than q month. The great river
Magdalena, in South America, running
one hundred miles between two ridges
of the Andeas, falls only two hundred
feet in that distance. Above the COM
mencement of the one hundred miles it
is seen descendingin rapid cateracts from
the mountains. The gigantic Rio de la
Plata has so gentle adescent to the ocean
that, in Paragua. fifteen hundred miles
from the mouth, large ships are seen
which have sailed against the current
all the way by the force of the wind
alone-that is to say which, on the beau
tifully inclined plane of the stream, have
been gradually lifted by the soft wind,
and even against the current, to an ele-
walton greater than OUR loftiest spires.

Military Despotfsm.
,m the Cincinnati Commercial,

from tne CINCINNATI commercial.
The Southern white people have had a
great deal to say through their newspa-
pers and public speakers of the military
despotism to which they have been sub
jeeted. When we come to analize their
complaints, we find the principal one is
that they are not allowed to enslave
other men-to obtain the work of the
main body of the laboring class of the
South without paying for it-and that
they are not recognized as the rightful
governing class of the Republic. They
seemed to think that they were whipped
aud had surrendered, that the Yankees
had conquered them expressly to obtain
their services as masters, Interpreters of
the Constitution and boss politicians. 1t
may tend to their instructions to read
from one of Napoleon's letters, written
in 1905, after making his brother Joseph
a present of the Kingdom of Naples:
1.-THE fate of your reign depends on
your conduct when you return to Gala.
bria. There must be no forgiveness
Shoot at least six hundred rebels. They
have murdered more soldiers than that.
Burn the houses of thirty of the princi-
pal persons in the village, and distribute
their property among the soldiers. Take
away all arms from the inhabitants, and
give up to pillage five or six of TIE large
villages. When Placenza rebelled, Or
dered Junot to burn two villages, and
shoot the chiefs, among whom were six
priests. 1t will be some time before they
rebel again."
In this appears touch of the real ar
ticle of military despotism. -,
