LETTER FROM THE COUNTRY.
The Deaf ana Dumb Gasoline Crops
and Hopeful PeOple-Mysterf.
GUS Disappearance.
INLAY. TENNESSEE. July 10. 1869.

MILAN, TkNkbssEEs July w. lto5.
EDIToRs LEDGER: At Bell station
there resides young man about twenty
two years of age, named Rowell. He is
the artist of that place, having a photo
graph gallery, and is well thought Of by
the community. His habits and associa-
tons are represented as good. On the
18th Of this month, he having some BUSH
ness calling him to Memphis, took
the train bound for the city. While
seated in the cars, the newsboy on the
train endeavored to sell him some pa.
pers, as is his custom. Young Rowell
played off deaf and dumb to the news
boy. In short time Rowell perceived
that he was actually deaf, and upon try
ing to speak, found that he could not utter
syllable. He was struck deaf and
dumb Immediately after pretending that
be was so. He got off the train at Ma.
sons depot, and returned home on next
train, and as soon as he arrived at Bells
station, he procured pencil and paper
and wrote to his friends around him these
words: 81 have been struck deaf and
dumb for my folly"
This is certainly very sad and dear les
son, and should be warning to others
who are daily guilty of violations of the
laws Of God and man. Was this of d.
vine influence, or was it the effect of dis
ease 2 This is surely one Of the strangest
cases that has occurred in modern times.
The crops in West Tennessee are gen
orally looking well, and farmers are
wearing pleasant countenance. Some
few farmers are in the grass, but corn
and cotton look we'll and everything is
rather prosperous. The health of the
county is good, but sickness-such as
fever, diarrhea, dysentery, etc.-are be-
coming frequent in many sections.
Politics are all o. K. Democracy is
head and ears in advance, and will come
out OF the contest most gloriously tri-
umphant. Radicals are already sick and
whopper.j awed.
Brownsville and Milan are improving
more rapidly than any other points on
the road, and they are both making rapid
strides. Substantial and csmmodious
houses are being erected, and are we'll
stocked with goods. Bat Memphis mer-
chants are losing great deal. Their
business is not properly represented.
Louisville, Cincinnati and st. Louis
are actually taking all the trade, while
Memphis is standing with eyes and mouth
spread, asking the question, WHY don't
you come to Memphis and trade 2" They
don't work enough-too afraid of spend
ing few dimes to be well represented.
They must be aroused on this important
subject, and that speedily, as they are
rapidly losing trade.
While at jackson, Tenn, young mar
ried man, from New Orleans, disappeared
very mysteriously and had not been heard
of when we left. He and his wife had
been there three days, and about six
o'clock Friday evening he left the hotel
his wife supposed for the postofice--
and has not been heard of since. He was
not drinking, and his absence has not
been accounted for.

The three negro msckersls-Peter Sta
Piles, Andrew Jackson and Scott Jordan

Of negro named Jack Kolt, on the levee
Monday morning, were all committed,
before Justice Foley yesterday, for trial
at the present term of the Criminal Court.
Staples is the one who did the cutting.
he is about fifteen years old, and none Of
them are grown. A trial now means
something, and all kinds of rascals are
learning that justice has throne in Mem
phis, and that the way of the transgressor
is hard.

Charge Withdrawn.

Yesterday man who was somewhat
iuebriated, called and was shaved at the
shop of Thomas Bush and Mat Arnold,
colored BARRIERS, on Union street. When
shaved, he had no money, and said bis
pockets had been picked in the shop. On
this charge he caused the BARRIERS to be
arrested. This morning the case came
up before Esquire John Norton, when
the prosecutor appeared and withdrew
the charge, and the case was dismissed
at his request. This was nothing more
than g simple act of justice.

vehicuIum versus steamengicum.
As the Bumpass Accommodation train
passed ellis station, this morning, a
buggy, with black horse, was observed
standing in front of the Gill mansion.
When passengers (who took the omnibus
at the depot) arrived at the corner of
Main and Madison, their establishment
was extreme at observing the aforesaid
horse and buggy quietly standing in front
of the Peoples Insurance Company's
Office. Whether this modern Beucepha-
lus has wings, or whether the buggy and
horse were caught up by the drag-rope OF
Thompson's balloon, we have not learned.
1t is said that the Memphis and Charles
ton Railroad Company propose to dis.
card the use of steam and employ this
breed of horses to pull their trains. The
ewner Of the horse in question says that,
as his business is urgent and allows him
but limited time in which to make the
trip, he cant waste time on the cars.

A Boston paper says: In the latter
part Of February Mr.. Tailby purchased
two potatoes for fifty dollars each. These
we're cut in pieces, each with an eye, and
exposed day or two to dry, and then
put in hoxes of earth and placed under
ths glass. One of the potatoes had ten
eyes, the other thirteen, but two of these
we're bad, so that but tweniy-one sprouled.
In about three weeks the sprouts we're
two inches high, when they we're cut OF
and placed in small pots, and rooted, and
10 two weeks more these sprouts were
cut in the same manner, and another crop
secured from the original stock aud this
practice has been pursued until Mr..
Tailby has grown three thousand plants
from those two potatoes, and he haa now
over a bushel Of small potatoes. some Of
them larger than hel's eggs. Some Of
the cuttings were grated into old pota-
ices, nom which oil the eyes had been
removed. which brought them along a
great deal sooner"

Confederate Dead at Point Lookout.


The Baltimore Gazette says: THE
friends and relatives of the Confederate
n...soners who died at Point Lookout will
be glad to learn that Mr.. L. O. Smith has
in his possession a correct list OF all
those who were buried in the Cemetery
set apart for the reception Of their re-
mains. This list was furnished Mr.. Smith
by the Surgeon of the Post before his
departure. 1t embraces the rames OF all
the Confederates inferred in the GENE
terry, each name having a number at
tsched, which corresponds with the
numbers on the head boards marking the
graves. By this means the bodies,
even now, in the dilapidated condi-
ton Of the place, can be readily identl-
fed. A copy Of the list is in this
city, at the Office of Mr.. j. Wesley Smith,
Secretary of the Loudon Park Confed-
crate Memorial Association, and one Of
the firm of Smith l. Brothers, book
sellers, No. l57 West Baltimore street.
1t can be seen upon application. Mr..
L. o. Smith, of St. Mary's, whose farm
acjoins the Cemetery, he's kindly volun-
teered, upon the receipt of instructions
to that effect, to forward to their proper
destination the remains of any of the
Confederate soldiers inferred in the
Cemetery, charging simply the actual
cost of removal"
