The Colored People Of Giles Petition
lug for their Removal.
Gentlemen from Pulaski inform US that
the cOlOred people Of Giles county have
prepared and are now circulating for sig
natures, petition to Gov. Senter, praying
that Brownlow's militia be forthwith with
drawn from that county. The petition re-
cites that the most friendly relations have
existed at all times between the white and
colored people of Giles, and that the lat
ter need 70 protection from outsiders, and
especially desire none from the character
of men lately sent ia their midst. 1t
speaks OF the unrestrained struggling and
frequent assertions of the militia, saying
that their families and those Of the white
people among whom they live are con.
stantly exposed TO the danger of pillage
and outrage by the vicious men who thus
seek to elude responsibility for their
crimes. The petitioners speak in eompli-
mentary terms of portion of the officers
and men, saying that they are no doubt
disposed to do their duty as soldiers, and
might be of benefit to the public service il
stationed in some locality where their pres
ence is needed. They express the fullest
assurance that the civil officers are able tC
preserve order and protect the lives and
property of the people, and close theil
prayer by intims;ing desire to have reg
ular soldiers sent among them in case thu
courts and civil officers should prove I'M
able 10 preserve the public peace. Th'
petition is numerously signed, and viii
we suppose, be presented to the Governor
in the course of the week.

DELIBERATIONS BY THE MILITIA. -
Several of the melish" entered grocery
kept bp Con Fitzpatrick, in North Edge
field, on Tuesday evening, and made a
shucking of his whisky, candies and things,
turning up jack and playing thunder gen.
orally. They got off without arrest.
A CALL FROM CHARLEsToN.-We I'M
derstand that Rev. J. w. McNeilly, Of the
Presbyterian Church, Edge6eld, has recent
ly received call from Charleston, S. c., but
whether he intends to accept or not, we
have not learned. He is very popular in
his church, and his congregation would re-
greet very much 10 part with him.
QUIET CITy.-There has not been a
single arrest in Edgefeld since its incorpo-
ration. Such state of things speaks we'll
for the morality of the place, but makes it
mighty dull for the City Marshal, who ex.
presses desire 10 get his hand in.
TIE RAIN.-There was lively discus
sion on change yesterday as to the cause
Of the rain which was then falling-one
party contending that it was produced by
load of empty barrels which passed
through the city on Tuesday, and others
being of the opinion that it wac brought
about by the almanac makers, who had q
clause which covered the case 10 their pub.
LEGATIONS. The question had not been de-
cided up to the hour of going to press, bu
it was generally agreed upon that garden
ing had been "sot back"
| THE TooTH-AcHE UNDER Difficult
TIEs.-We yesterday, heard the experience
of an Edge6eld man who had the tooth
ache under distressing difficulties. HI
was seized rather suddenly with the trouble
some complaint, and knowing the fact tina
there was no dentist in Edge6eld, straight
way proceeded to Nashville, and went t
the Office of well-known dentist. l
Doctor = in" inquired the sufferer, o
a young man who appeared TO be keeping
shop.
"Not at present" replied the youugster
"a Can attend TO your business"
"No," said the individual, with swol
len jaw, and tear in his eye. " wan
to see the Doctor"
"He amt here now" said the youpl
man. "You can call again"
"When will he be in,'' aaid the suffere
rather impatiently'
"Well," said the precOeions youth
"he's gone in the direction of the inaugur
alton, and suppose he will be back mex
week !"
The individual received shock whicl
cured him immediately, and he has no
said toothache since, except to suggest tina
fret class dentist Would do well to locat

Thai 100000 Item

Comptroller Blackburn has returned to
the city from Memphis, where he has
been sojourning with the hope Of recover
ing the small amount of 100000 strayed
or stolen from the State of Tennessee. He
did not bring back the money, but before
leaving got on the track Of a bond to the
amount of one hundred Thousand dollars
for the faithful delivery of the tax of 1857
to its rightful depository. Comptroller
Blackburn made a fall investigation Of the
matter, and notwithstanding the verdict Of
the jury sustaining the plea of non est fac
tDun as to the sureties, the bond afterwards
discovered, it is thought, will cover the
case, and be sufficient to demand another
trial. II is Understood moreover that a
criminal process will be served upon Phil,
Garvir, the defsulter, and there ia a faint
hope that the greater portion or all of the
fund will be recovered. Mr.. Blackburn
exonerates Barbour Lewis with any COM
plicily 10 the matter and is of the opinion
that the County Commissioners were not
apprized of their duties in the premises.

GENTLEMEN: Dr. LIGHTHILL 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..
Lighthill can do all for the suffering that
can be afforded bv skill. science and a
comprehensive experience.
Indeed, DIR. LIghthill performs some
almost miraculous cures. One case for ill.,
stance. Iplaced under his treatment, over
two years since, my niece, Miss Elizs
Mitchum, of McLemoresville, Tenn. She
had been suffering from child with a
rising in the head, which had for years
emitted through the ear very ugly and
offensive corruption. Her case had been
treated by the best physicians of the coun-
try and had baffled the skill all. DR..
Lighihill kept her under his immediate
charge for ten days and then sent her home
wi,h remedies. She used the remedies as
directed and in three months was entirely
we'll and still continues in excellent health
1t may be proper to state that when Miss
Mitchum went under DR.. Lighthill's treat
nent she was unable to walk and, as her |
friends thought was rapidly approaching
ieath.
If you have any friends among your ex-
ensiye acquaintance suffering with any
hronic disease you may safely recommend
hem to DIR. Lighthill.
Yours, very respectfully,

Innocent of the Charge

Referring several days ago to the arrest
of negro named Henry Haley, on the
charge of horse stealing, and the capture
of several others in Rutherford county
said to be part and parcel of Gamers
gang, We stated that among those implica-
ted was one Creek, Constable in one Of
the districts of Rutherford county. Mr.,
Creek was in the city yesterday. and
handed us the following certificate from
the TAILOR and Sheriff of that county
which We publish with pleasure, as it con =
tradicts the confession said to have been
made By Haley to the detectives. 1t is as
follows:
Henry Haley lcolored) states in our
presence that in November or December,
1868, John Garner left bay mare in Mr.
Joseph Creeks woods lot, and Mr.. John
Alcorn in q few days took her away.
When said mare was left at Mr.. Creek .;
be was gone to Huntsville, Ala, and as far
as / know, Mr.. Creek knew nothing of
said mare being left on his premises.
Henry Haley further states if Mr.. Joseph
Creek had anything to do with said John
Garner in horse stealing, be knows nothing
of it. Henry Haley also states that he never
told Mr.. Ryan policeman of Nashville
anything more than above stated concern
corning the implication OF Mr.. Creek with
Mr.. Garner. Henry Haley further states
e lived near Mr.. Greek about twelve
months in the year 1868, and during this
time be knew nothing wrong OF Mr..
Creek, but considered him gentleman.
J. F. JACKSON,
Tailor of Rutherford county.
KINIoN CARLTON,

Sheriff Of Rutherford county.
Henry Haley was tried before Recorder
Clark of MurfreesbOro', Wednesday, Eel.
"a, and acquitted. Since then he has made
the statement to the gentlemen who sc
names are attached, who handed it TO Mr..
Creek. Inquiry has ELECTED the fact that
no arrests have been made, nor can it be
learned that warrants were issued for the
arrest of any of the parties Haley lie re-
ported to have implicated.
