From II, A. COLLINS. ESQ e,
OF Milan, Tenn

Messrs. Pigae, Manier & Huli, Nashpiilc,
Tenn:
GENTLEMEN: DR.. LIGHTHTLL expects to
visit your city soon, and for the benefit Of
the suffering / wish TO say, through you,
to your very extensive acquaintance in
this and other Southern States that Dr.
LighthiIl can do all for the suffering that
can be afforded by skill, science and a
comprehensive experience.
Indeed, DIR. Lighthill performs some
almost miraculous cures. One case for in
stance. Iplaced under his treatment, over
two years since, my niece, Miss Eliza
Mitchum, of McLemoresVille, Tenn. She
had been suffering from child with a
rising in the head, which had for years
emitted through the ear a very ugly and
offensive corruption. Her case had been
treated by the best physicians of the coun-
try and had bsffied the skill of all. DIR.
Lighthill kept her under his immediate
charge for ten days and then sent her home
with remedies. She used the remedies as
directed and in three months was entirely
well and still continues in excellent health.
1t may be proper 10 state that when Miss
Mitchum went under DIR. Lighthill's treat
ment she was unable TO walk and, as her
friends thought, was rapidly approaching
death.
If you have any friends among your eI-
tensive acquaintance suffering with any
chronic disease you may safely recommend
them to Dr. Ligbthill.
Yours, very respectfully,
f. A. COLLINS.

DIED:

In this city. at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. 10Th
inst, Mrs, ORAZILLA IRWIN. wife OF Il. W. lr-
win, at the age of 65 years. =,
The friends and acquaintance of the family
are invited 10 attend the funeral this. Thursday.
at 2 P. NJ, from the residence, corner Cherry
street and Grove alley. Services by the Rev.
Dir. II. A. Young.
In making the above sad announcement, it is
due that the virtues OF tho deceased should re-
ceiye a tribute from the community in which
she lived for twenty-three years past, and to
which she has contributed so much of domestic
worth and devotion. Mrs. IRWIN was a native
Of PENNSYLVANIA, and inherited the sterling
qualities of a strong and vigorous parentage.
Removing to Nashville with her husband nearly
a quarter of a century ago., she became an IN
dustrious and respected member of society and
devoted her life to her family and friends, CIR
Gle which embraced many, who now mourn her
death and will remember her virtues till they
IN turn. shall shall Join her in the next world.
Sbs WAS a member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church for great number of years, and was
devoted to her church, till the disease which
finally produced death, confined her to her bed
and room.
The deceased leaves seven, Surviving Of elev-
en-. children to lament their misfortune-four IN
this city. and three in Pittsburg. As much as
friends may grieve, there is no affection so
poignant as the pangs of the husband and chill
dren on the loss Of a kind, patient and devoted
wife and mother In this dispensatiOn we unite
our sympathies with those whose tears fall upon
the bier, and point them to the bright example
of the departed as both guide and a cOnsOla-

Tho Rutter Case

We hear it said that the case of George
R. Rutter, the man charged with swindling
the State out of the school fund, nearly
half million dollars, and who was re-
leased at Memphis few days since on a
writ of habeds corpus, by giving bond in the
sum Of 1000, is TO be still further invesLi-
gated by the Memphis Judge on Saturday
next, the bail having been required for his
appearance at that time. Detective Ryan,
Of this city, who made the arrest, returned
to Memphis yesterday. The probabilities
are thar the officer takes back with him
proofs and instructions not in his posses
sion at the time Of the original hearing OF
the writ of release before Judge Lee. 1t
is thought that developments likely TO be
made in the further investigation of this
cause will establish the fact that Mr.. Rut-
ter was not alone in the crime alleged TO
have been committed by him, but had the
companiopship and aid ofm not unknown
to official fame in the State. The truth Of
crime, however ingeniously concealed for
time, will finally out.

The New York .E'-rald of the 2Slh inst.
says:
"The advocates Of a contraction of the
national currency would do well to study
certain facts in connection with the none
tary statements of the banks of this city
for the past few weeks. 1t aPpears that
preenbacks have been going to the South
for some time past at the rate of about
$500. 600 day. This money goes to stay.
II goes to pay for the cotton crop, and az
the South is not in debt to the North it
will not come back again. In olden times
the planters, in their luxury and extraVa-
gance, used to live beyond their meanP,
and fr, qdently bought goods and borrowed
money in New York before the cotton wss
even put in the ground. The war has
changed all this. Our merchants do a
strictly cash business with the South, and
the tendency among the Southerners them
selves is to do cash business with each
other. The present cotton crop Is, there
fore, unmortgaged. The money will be
used 10 great part to expand cotton culture
and the other industries Of the South. OF
course portion of il will come back some
time hence in purchase Of machinery and
manufactured goods, but The great bulk OF
il will remain where it has gone. The
banks will get the money back when the
cotton ia sold to Europe. The distribution
of greenbacks over the South and West
will relieve the redundancy complained of
and bring their value, eventually, 10 par
with cold. The cotton crop this year is
estimated at 100000 bales. 10 1860,
lust before the war, it reached almost o.
OOO, 600 bales. What Is to prevent the an
nual crop from being expanded to this or
still greater quantity? Cotton is our gold
An excessive cotton crop 10 the future
would make our paper money worth
premium.
The New York World discusses the past
Southern products will play 10 the fnan-
cial future of this country as follows
"Money is becoming dearer iG New
York, the money centre of this continent,
because the Southern States require more
of it for the legitimate purpose Of handling
their increased crops. Europe has been
draining the nation Of its accumulated
surplus by its manufactured products ia ex-
change for fiye-twenty bonds at 20 cents on
the dollar to be paid hereafter atlOO, and

Another Tax-Cursed city

If it be strictly true that misery likes
company, the tax cursed people of Nash
Vile may be excused for looking around
for somebody to fall in love with. Their
ailinities, or portion of them, vegetate in
st. Louis. A dispatch from that city Of
the 18th says:
The extravsgant expenditures by some
of the city officials, as recently brought to
light by reports made TO the City Council
has produced good deal of interest among
ax-payers and citizens generally, and sew
eral Informal meetings have been held TO
consider the state of affairs. The matter
eliminated tonight in q meeting CON-
posed of the citizens of all parties, al
which a Municipal Reform Association
was organized. A constitution was adopt,
ed which declares the object of the associ.
alton TO be to secure a reorganization oil
the city government, regardless Of pOlltl-
cal or PERSONAL considerations, and effect
an honest administration of public affairs.
Commissioners were appointed to canvass
the claims Of candidates for Office, and to
frame charter and law to be submitted Il
the Legislature for their action.

Bad Time 20 Move.

The miserably bad weather Of the past
few days has intsrfered very considerably
with business in the city, as its tendency
has been to keep at home all except those
whose affairs would not allow them 10 re-
main indoors and few others who never
mind the weather, no matter whether the
wind blows or not. The constant, and for
time seemingly interminsble rain, has
also very much dampened the holiday jol-
lily of that portion of the young folks who
had indulged lively anticipationso Of Egg
and festive" Christmas time accompanying
the demise of the old year. Most of the Pc
Rod has seemed more like the days just
before the food than similar to tbs season OF
genial light and hest necessary to make
the world dry again. The protracted spell
OF rain and mud has not alone interfered
with fhe business Of some and the pleasure
lof Others, bat has sadly inconvenience
| people who have to move. The mere idea
of moving in such weather is enough to
test ordinary patience beyond quiet
submission, and the necessity OF
having it 10 do should, if it does not, ex-
cuse the victim for the utterance of gentle
maledictions against the usage which
makes moving in this locality customary
and almost universal at the most inclem-
ent season of the year. There is no good
reason why this should continue. If the
city must have general moving season, il
would be just as well fixed in April OF
May as in mid-winter, and it certainly ap
pears that pleasant weather would be
greatly preferable for the usually unpleas'
ant business Of pulling up home stakes and
moving household effects. He who car
and will insugurate the desired change in
this respect, and make it general and per
manent in its character, will be benefac
tor of his kind, and entitle himselfto thu
lasting gratitude of this moving commu

Turned Hin Again.

A few days ago we published an account
Of the mysterious disappearance OF Ger
man farmer named Fred. Burnley, from
New Albany, Indiana. After the expira-
ton of week, during which time he was
supposed to be in the land of the hereafter
he reappeared upon the stage Of human
life at his home, on Monday last, and had
a wonderful story TO tell. He says as he
was vending his way down the river bank,
two men rush ed up behind him, throwing
blanket over his head, and bearing him
down TO the ground. He was securely
bound, his hands being tied, and put in a
wagon, which was driven off rapidly, but
in " hat direction Burkely could not tell,
as the blanket was kept over his head and
face. Al late hour that night the wagon
was stopped, and he was taken into house
and placed in a room having no windows,
His money was demanded, and he readily
gave up every cent he had, eighty-five dol
lars, but his captors were not satisfied and
proceeded to search bis person, but found
nothing further.
After being confined in that place until
last Sunday night, he was removed The
same way that he was taken in, placed in
wagon, and the team was driven all night
The Ledger of that city seems to doubt hif
miraculous adventure, and spoils huge
newspaper sensation, when it says:
That Burkley had been shut up some
,oLere was quite evident from his appear:
ance, but there are some who are unkind
enough to hint that it was mors likely to
have been in the Louisville workhouse
than in large house without windows
within the limits of Floyd or Clark county.

Look out. Masaueraders.

A policeman last night arrested worthy
young man who was out on a masquerad-
ing frolic The policeman justified his
act by throwing himself behind the State
law passed for the benefit Of the Ku-Klux,
and contended that he had right under
that law of shooting down upon the street
without any warning, any man caught
with a mask upon his face. The custom
of masquerading during the holiday season
has been general for many years past, and
the Ku-Klux law was not intended TO in
terfere with masquerading parties. A
policeman entertaining such thought as
that expressed, is a disgrace TO the badge
he wears. If he suspects that a man is
masked for evil intent it is his duty to ar
rest him, but if he is satisfied that he is
only out on a mission of pleasure he GER
tainly would overstep his duty by shooting
him down in the streets, as he would dog.
Happily for the officer in question, he did
not kill this time, and if he had so far for
got himself he would most certainly have
been tried as a murderer.

EDGEFIELD.


y MgET1Ne OF C1TIzEEs.--There Is to be
another meeting of the citizens Of Edgefeld
to-night, at Coleman's Hall, on the Calls
tin pike, with regard to The eleosioE which
takes place on Saturday next, and siail
attendance is requested, as matters Of inn
portance will we discussed. There seems
TO be some stir crested at the announce
ment Of an opposition ticket in the field,
and fears also expressed as to the success
Of the srirg.D There can be no good
reason assigned for any such fear, uniesr an
effort will be made to introduce foreign
voters, and upon this ground too, ne beg
of all to rest perfectly easy. Every voter
within the corporation limits is known, and
there is also record of every man living
outside of Edge6eld who owns porperty
therein. Those legally entitled will be
allowed 10 deposit their votes, and out
siders will have to take back seat. The
wholesale importations for election pur-
poses which have become fashionable in
Nashville would meet with cold comfort in
Edeefeld, and there is not the least danger
of such thing being attempted. They are
law-abiding paople on the North side of
the river, but if set Of carpet-baggers
we're even to intimate that they intended
to take charge of the polls TO the exclusion
of the bona fde citizens in that locality,
there is no telling what might happen.
DEATH OF A WORTHY CITIzEE.-We
are grieved to announce the death Of John
R. Cowan, Esq, who died at his residence
last evening in North Edgefield after a
protracted illness. Mr.. Cowan was a
member of the First Regiment Tennessee
Volunteers in the Mexican war, where he
contracted a disease Of the lungs from
which he never recovered. lie was a
liberal-hearted, kind and courteous gentle
man, and esteemed by all who knew him.
Tecumseh Tribe, Order of Red Men, and
the Order of Pale Faces hold meetings to-
night to make arrangements for his
funeral, which takes place on Friday
evening.
BURGLARY.-Night before last burglar
made a raid upon the kitchen Of DR.. 3
NJ. Jamison, who resides on the Gallatin
Pike, and stole therefrom all his cooking
utensils, barrel of meal, and other arti'
clos of value.
