A NEW WAY OF ANSWERING A BILL
IN CHANCERY.
A Carpet.Bsgger Attempts 10 Assas'
sinate Well KNOWN Mem.
phis Man.

We have Just learned the particulars
OF an outrage that occurred on the Geo.
W. Cheek, on Wednesday night last, in
which Guile c. Cummings, Esq, for
merly of Memphis, and son of DR.. Y. c.
Cummings, was slightly wounded by a
shot from pistol in the hands of one c.
W. Dunawsy. Messrs. Cummings d
Scott, practising attorneys at Austin,
Mississippi, have recently, it seems, filed
bill in the Chancery Court Of Tunics
county, in that State, on behalf of Dnna-
ways brother, as complainant, against
Dunawsy and his step-mother, charging
them with defrauding him in their dis
tribution and disposition of the fathers
estate; and the fraud was patent On
Wednesday evening Mr.. Cummings got
on the Cheek at Austin to come seven or
eight miles up the river, and soon after
coming aboard was warned that Duna'
way was on the boat, and had been heard
inquiring for q pistol. Mr.. Cummings,
who lost his right arm 10 the Confederate
service, borrowed a pistol, and prepared
to defend himself, in case of attack.
About ten o'clock Dunaway called him
out upon the guards, and demanded OF
him to retract the statements made
against him. Mr.. Cummings turned
back to the cabin, saying be had nothing
to say to him on the subject. Dunaway
followed and drew his pistol, at which
moment 8 bystsnder = Mr.. Boatman,
Sheriff of Tunics county-seized Cum
mings, TO prevent the shooting, when
DunaEsy put the pistol over Bostman's
shoulder against GunEiugs' temple and
fred. The bah struck the temple, in,
aicting, we are glad to say, only slight
vosnG. The boat was then lying at
Stewards landing. en- ihe Arkansas shore,
and Dunawsy escaped. followed TO the
guards by Mr.. Cummings. This Is the
frst time we have heard Of answering q
bill In ehspcery by so attempt to assas-
sinate the attorney in the case.

GEoReE W. HuaHEs, Esq.
Dear Sir In reply to your favor
of 23d ult would say that do not
think that varieties of Potatoes will
intermix or hybriGiae from being Cults
waited in the same hill. For instance,
should the " Early Rose aud /" Harri-
son" be planted 10 the same hill, |
think that the product of each would be
true to the parent tuber. AN aware
that an opposite opinion is entertained
by few, but must confess that in a
large experience, extending over more
than thirty years, during which have
personally grown most OF the prominent
foreign as we'll as American sorts, have
never detected any indications of inter-
mixture. Planted in drills, often With
nothing but a.stake to mork the divis-
son between the various Kinds, | have
always found the tnbers true /
would not say the thing is Impossible,
but / DO say, that no variety has ever
come unddr my observation that was
claimed as being thus originated. II
any such exists | would be pleased to
.see'aod test it,
The hybridiziug of flower in, my
opinion would no more effect the tubers
or general character Of tho parent plant,
than would the same process change the
nature of grape vine thus treated.
Because few blossoms of a Catawbs
vine should be fertilized by the pollen
from an "Allen's Hybrid" no Que would
certainly expect TO fnd, asa conse-
,queuce, the vine to produce other than
Catawba grapes, and the same true Of
the potato. The intermixture affects
emily the seeds, and through these |
think may say, only are the new sorts
obtaDined. Yours, truly,
sa FEARING BURR.

ADVERTISING TEsTED.-An

ADVERTISING TEsTED.-An
Atlanta paper, in the course of an
article oRthe value of advertising
to business men, says:
a merchant in Macon, who had
been successful for years, conclu
ded at the beginning of ,One year
that he would try the virtue of
advertising. That year he spent
eighteen. hundEed dollars with the
9arinters, and Ibis own testimony
is. that lle did three times the
amaant of business that he ever
did befoEe in the same length Of
time. He still keeps his name
and business prominent in the
papers, and finds his profits stead
lily increasing. Other merchants
of Macon, witnessing the success
of this house, followed its exam
pie. and now the Macon papers
are among the best patrOnized in
the State, and the business men
of that city are among the most
substantial in the South. We
happen to be able to testify to the
truth of this statement in every
particular. For the size of the
place, there is more advertising
done in Macon than in any other
city in the South, and hence her
extraordinary prosperity since tie
close of the war. The name o.
nearly every merchant and bust
ness man in the city is to be found
ma her daily papers; not occasion
ally and condensed into the small
est possible space, as if the par
ties were afraid somebody would
find out where they are, but regu.
larly, Systematically and promi-
nently, and in many instances
with an apparent disregard of
cost. They know what they are
at, and go into the papers and
stay there because it PAYS. The
result is practically demonstrated
in the rapid growth of business
and accumulation of fortunes.
