New RroOm FacfnrY

In going our rounds yesterday we
dropped into M 135 Broad street, to see
what was going on, and to our surprise,
found our old time boot maker, r. V.
Brennan and his sonsin.law, T. d. Duffy,
up to their cara in broom corn, broom
handles, machinery and other operations
belonging to the business. Upon making
inquiries, r V. stated that as verything
was assuming new aspect in Tennessee,
he thought new broom waI az essential
as any thing else; that there being good
deal OF dirt in Tennessee, particularly 10
Nashville, he came to the conclusion that
"a new broom sweePa clean, be deter
mined 10 introduce broom that would
make clean sweep
We have no doubt whatever bat the new
firm will be successful in their cnterpri5e,
from the fact that the broom they propose
to make is paten! one, and from lis ex-
cellency is cure TO recommend itself to our
merchants aud all who deal in such art.
c!es We have examined their manufac-
ture, and have no hesitancy in prOnounc;ng
it complete success. Messrs. Brennan &
Duffy are old citizens, and are deserving
oil liberal patronage. Nothing likehome
industry aud enterprise.

TKELATE FREsIIErs.

From the Baltimore Sun, Oct. 8. ..-
The recent freshets Of October 81 and
4th have been more disastrous than any
that have occurred for the last twenty
years. The usual autumnal storms
commenced about September 231 and
oath, in the Northwest, where the
deluging rains caused q heavy rise on
the Mississippi and in the Minnesota
rivers, causing great destruction of prop
erty. The effects Of this first storm
were slightly felt here, and the rain that
fell on September Goth caused q rise of
only four feet in some localities. The
unusual food Of last Monday, however,
is to be attributed to the remarkably
high tide that occurred at the same
time with a tremendous downfall of
rain. The action Of the sun and moon
when in conjunction, near the time of the
equinoxes, produces powerful effect
upon the ocean, and the tides rushing
up the numerous inlets along the coast
back up the descending waters from the
numerous rivers and streams. Even
when there has been no rain these fall
tides are very destructive; but when, as at
the present time, long storm aceompan-
les them, they produce great devastation.
The reports of the destruction are slowly
coming in, and from every quarter the ins
telligence of the heavy losses suffered is
very depressing. From Maine all along
the coast 10 Richmond, and extending f I
two hundred miles into the interior, The
damages from the frssheIs and the floods
have been great, and the losses cannot yet
be calculated. There is, however, one
cheering item in the reports OF general
disaster, and that il, the loss of human
life has not been large,
