The Mississippi River DESERVING AL

The Alton Gid Telegraph says
The wearing away of tie Missouri
shore opposite the upper part of the
city stIllcontinues, with u rapidity
threatening the most disastrous re-
suits. The sand bar on the Illinois
shore, opposite the saw mill, acting
as breakwater, throws the tull
force of the current over to the Mis-
souri, shore, where it strikes the
bank with great force, and sweeps
along down through the slough with
the velocity of torrent. The. re-.
suit is that the channel is plainly
shifting to the Missouri shore
Within two weeks, strip of land

has been washed away by the rest.
less current. The ice house of G.
Shredder, which, two weeks ago,
was thirty or forty feet from the
bank, this morning, when we visits
ed the spot, had one corner under>
mined, and the cakes of ice are,
doubtless, ere this, quietly falling
into the stream and floating away.
A great part Of the ice house would
have been undermined ere this had it
not been for a huge barge which was
secured to the. shore, and which
broke the force of the current. 1t

TIMOTHY AND CLovER-A corres>
ponGent of the Northwestern Far
nler, gives the three following reasons
why clover and timothy seed should
alw avs be .sown together First, the
clover being tap rooted penetrates
deeply, stands drouth, mellows the
soil, and the timothy grows much
stronger and holds up the clover.
Secondly, if sown for pasturage, the
timothy almost universally prevents
the clover from swelling the cats
tie. Thirdly, hay is loo binding, es>
pecialIy for cattle, and clover too
tuccuient, hence borh together are
better than either alone.

PROCLAMATION BY GOV. BRowNLow.

there are armed bands s-ef secret conspirators
against the State who have been committing
and continue 10 commit outrages on inoffen-
sive citiEens; recites the act Of the Legislature
giving him the power. to call out the militia,
and says: In pursuance Of the act / call upon
the good, loyal and patriotic white and colored
people Of every county in the State to proceed
without delay and raise companies of loyal
able-bodied men, and report the same to me at
Nashville. Whether any of the companies,
white or coored, so organized, will be actually
called into the field, will depend entirely upon
the conduct of the people themselves in the
several counties. / earnestly hope there will
be no occasion to call out these troops, but that
the efforts of all citizens to preserve and main
tain the peace will succeed, and thus obviate
the necessity of this stern resort; but if un-
happily the better councils do not prevail and
order is not restored, and am compelled to
put down armed maraudsrs by force, / pro-
pose to meet them with such numbers and in
such manner as the exigency shall demand.
Whatever may be the consequence, L will not
herein by the threats of violence from rebel
speakers or rebel newspapers, nor by any other
means of intimidation. The Governor adds,
he prefers that these troops shall be raised in
East Tennessee, and therefore does not limit
the number Of companies in any county. In
reference to the promise of Federal troops to
keep peace, he says: Should the Department
commander be furnished with sufficient force
to keep order l will cbeerlully cooperate with
him, in order that State guards may not be
called into service.
