An AhscnndInr Arent


The Huntingdon West Tennessean of the
I'D says: st is understood that Mr.. Har-
ris, Station Agent, Express Agent and Tel
egraph Operator, at this place, absconded
on Saturday night last, taking with him
some two or three thousand dollars en-
trusted to him by business men of this
place. Report says that he had asked to
be relieved, and had been ordered to Nash
vile for settlement, bat instead of comply
ing with the order took the train for Nc
Keuzie, thence going on the train for
Clarksburg. He is said TO have carried a
large satchel leaving his trunk at the de-
pot, which upon being examined was found
to contain only sack of brick bats. The
Express Company are after him.

An ARRAY at Knoxville.

From the Knoxville Press and Herald
OF the 23d, we learn that Col. John NJ.
Fleming, the editor of that paper, was the
object Of brutal assault on the day pre-.
vious, and gives the following statement
The Colonel was standing in the store Of
Messrs. Barry & Mcdaniel, when W. T.
Nelson, of Philadelphia, Tenn, accompa.
MED by his son, young man, and third
party, at present unknown, came up be,
hind him. Col. Fleming was standing
with his back partly towards the door
when w. c. Nelson struck him in the head
with thick stick. The Colonel instinct
lively attempted to draw out his pistol
when Nelson struck him a second time
inficting a CHASTITY wound on the top and
left side of the head, knocking him dowr
and rendering him partially senseless
Col. Fleming was removed to the bach
part of the store and his wound dressed
after which he was taken home. Las
night he was comparatively easy, though
the doctor enjoined thai he be kept quiet"

A noisy crowd of negroes and few plain
whites, assembled at the Capitol last night
for the purpose of hearing the claims of
the Radical candidates discussed. The
meeting was called to order and Boots
was selected Chairman. II. II. Thomas
was the first speaker, and was followed by
Peabody, First City Attorney elect, and
Second City Attorney Cook, John Brown
low, and last and least OF all, Old John
Cockrell. Nothing was said by these men
worthy of notice. The meeting broke up
at late hour, and The hungry aspirants
for office returned TO their homes to dream
of the great impression which they believed
had been made upon the minds of the poor
and ignorant negroes.

RIVER AND WEATHER.

None.
DEPAETED.

1 Ella Hughes, Cairo.
The river was still swelling slowly yes
terday, with thirty inches on the shoals
Weather clear and pleasant.
The Ella Hughes cleared for Cairo last
evening with a fair trip.
The Fannie Brandeis turned back from
Clarksyille, receiving 500 bbls four at
that point for Evansville.
The Tyrone ia the next boat due from
Cairo, and is the regular packet for return
on Tuesday at P. NJ
At New Orleans, on Sunday morning,
the steam tug Belle Darlington, owned bv
McClOsky & Mason, caught fire and burned
to the waters edge, and then hoated down
stream. A coal barge belonging to the
same parties, and one belonging to the Gas
Company we're partially destroyed. The
origin Of the fire is unknown.
Dispatches from Cairo state that the CITY
Of Pekin exploded her middle boiler On
Wednesday morning, short distance above
Cairo, by which accident two negro deck
hands were badly scalded, one of whom
will probably die. No one else was in
jured. She reshipped her freight on the
Belle Memphis, and was towed to Cairo for
repairs.
Captain ]. NJ. Brainard, a well known
steamboat master, died in Mobile few
days ago. The Tribune saws of him
Capt Brainard went to Mobile near FORTY
years ago, and has either been steamboat
ing in person or mixed up with steamboats,
ever since, having risen from the most sub
ordinate position, through merit alone, to
be master and owner-and was, at the time
Of his death, the most popular and re-
spected man among them.
The st. Louis Democrat Of Friday saws
Cuisines is again very lively on the
wharVes, steamers and wharf-boats. The
Memphis company had their wharf-bost
lined with freight all day. The upper
rivers are reported stationary, which is
premOnitoTy OF a general decline, no do.bl.

To KeOknk, scant four feet. The com
merce Of the Missouri Is suffering greatly
from low water. Below the Usage there is
certainly little over three feet water"

Thus ended the weeks sport Take it
all in all this has been the most successful
meeting that has taken plaza 10 this couu-
try for years. The officers of the AssOcia-
ton deserve great deal of praise for the
efficient manner in which they have per-
formed their duties. The best of order
prevailed throughout. The restaurant and
saloon, in charge of Messrs. Flutcher and
Wand, gave general satisfaction. Among
the winners Of the meeting we believe Col.
Jane, Conlsks3 stable, of Chicago, Illinois,
won the greatest number of purses--startiDg
eight times and winning seven. He won
all the events of yesterday; his horses we're
favorites in every race. The Colonel leaves
for Memphis in few days-he takes with
him our best wishes.
We cannot close without our special and
grateful acknowledgements to Mr.. W. NJ.
Conner, of Wilkes New York Spirit Of the
Tines for Che assistance he has given US
during the meeting just closed. To him
we are indebted for much of The fullnes,
accuracy and good taste displayed in the
UNION AND AMERICAN reports from day
to day, which, leaving out a few typo
graphical errors, have met with niveresal sat-
isfactioD, and have never beensurpassed by
those Of any meeting of the past. Wherever
he may be hereafter, we commend him
most cordially to our brethren of the press.

The HMM street Fire


It.having been publicly stated that the
insurance company holding the risk on
the slock and store of Mr.. F. Badoux,
which were destroyed by fire last Wednes-
day night, had instituted an examination
into the circumstances of the occurrence,
Mrs. BadouX, (her husband being absent
from home,) publishes card, in which
she states that the agents of the company
are perfectly welcome to investigate the
matter to their entire satisfaction, 30 far
as she is concerned. With the citizens of
Nashville, who have for years past known
Mr.. and Mrs. BldOu1, the intimation
involved in the proposed investigation
needs no refutation. No person who knows
them would for a moment believe either
OF the two capable of any direct or indi-
rect connection with an act to defraud the
holders Of the risk on their property
Even if they were entire strangers in the
community, the circumstances of the &C.
currence would clearly and uneqnivocally
exculpate them from all blame.
The fire occurs in Badoux's absence, he
being in New York for the purpose of re-
plenishing his stock. The family reside
in the rooms Immediately above the store
in which the fire occurred. They had no
means of front egress except through the
store, and no means Of escape at the rear
except through the second-story windows
of the building. The writer of this para.
graph was pre5en. at the fire before the
engines arrived, and personally witnessed
the perilous situation of the mother and
her children, and knows that had moi the
fire been promptly extinguished their
escape would have been impossible but for
the aid given them by citizens. The ONLY
reasonable theory that can be suggested in
connection with the occurrence is that the
fire was the result OF accident or the act of
a robber who thus sought to conceal traces
of his nripoa

A small negro boy was thrown from a
buggy, Just this side Of the Fair GOunds

escaped from the buggy but slightly hurt.
