in respect to our faithful Representative, The
one is as merited as it is complimentary, and
the other the most probable event Of our
future political history.
{" We mean no dispNragement to others
when we speak Of the Representative il the
Tennessee Legislature from Washington
County, MS one Of the most active, talented
energetic and, IN every way, efficient men in
THAI body East Tennessee Is especially in
debted to him for the faithful manner in
which be has advocated every measure look
ing to our interests. By his course Of con
duct, as q quiet, urassuRlng gentlemen Sud
a man OF uaimpeachablc moral character, to-
gether with his tack and skin rs iebster,
he is enabled to weld more IhSn ordinary
Influence, snd he has never miled to exercise

political cauldron continues to boil IN spots,
that spirit which invented the steamboat,
the magnetic telegraph, the cotton gin, snd
thousands Of other utilizing machines, that
spirit which tuilds rail roads across the con-
tiueut Of three thousand miles ia length, and
spans the earth with wires Of thought as With
q girdle, that sEirit which s%ustaius the great
Republic, and is carrying its people forward
in progress, as = rush Of mighty waters to a
nigh destiny, is gradually opening the eyes
Of the laggsrd of Fixed %rules, and bringing
him into u dog-trot, to keep up with the
times.
This is well, and must eventually lead to
the prosperity OF all, as a homogeneous
whole.
No longer DO the people desire, like Doctor
Fraucia, or ancient Japan, to stick to the re-
courses within, but they ask for the COM

to obtain that mutual instruction which
makes the glorious destiny Of Il great people.

Jail Delivery at Rutledge.

On Saturday night, Feb. 9th, while
tho citizens of Rutledgo were tran
Quilly pursuing their peaceful avoca-
lions at once there rarg upon the
startled air u shriIl female shrek of
murder! The cry seemed to pro-
cecd from Che Jail, and thither ran an
anxious lhrung. 1t seems that in the
Jail were confined four men named
Waltees, Hodges, Collins and Kirby,
upon the various charges of house
breaking, horse stealing and hog
81 ealing. There il y heavy wooden
door to the room in which the priso.
ners were confined and an outer door
OfirOn. Between the two there is
room for prisoners to place the buck
ats, into which they empty the dirt of
their cell. The Sheriff, RS usual that
night, had opened the inner doom to
allow the prisoners TO set out the
buckets, and had afterwards closed
and locked it. Shortly afterwards he
opened the outer iron door to remove
them, when suddenly the inner door
flew open, and the stoutest of the four
men caught him by the throat, and
another struck him with his fist 40
that be staggered back and fell down
the stairs, Two Of the prisoners fol,
lowed him 80 closely that no had not
time to recover himself before they
seized him again and threatened to
take his life il he attempted to speak.
The Sheriff. Mr. John Morgan, seeing
that his only chance was in fight,
tore himself loose and escaped their
pursuit by doiging around his smoke
house. The cries of his wife in the
mean time aroused the town and
alarmed the prisoners, who seeing the
crowd coming TO the Sherif.s rescue,
armed with all manner of weapons,
abandoned their pursuit of Mr.. Nor.
gan and made for the creek, which
they forded and made their escape
through the darkness into the woods.
