Where is the Old Spirit.

Echo where. We allude to the
stirring interest which many of our farm
ers took in introducing a higher grade of
stock into East Tennessee, and in other
ways promoting and developing our agri-
cultural before the war. Where
are our Mabrys, our Williams, our Bran
ners, u Woods and others, who were in
the foremost ranks of this great movement?
While Knoxville is advancing to the
strong position of a first class city, why is
the country hobbling along on crutches?-
What is keeping her back? To-day three
thousand Ohio mares, young, large and
fine blooded, should be scattered over this
section of the State. The Durham, the
Alderny, the AYRSHIRE and the Devon
Cow should be here. The fine jack and
the magnificent horse should grace our
farms. The Berkshire. the Hampshire and
the Chester hog should be about our barn
yards.
There is no reason under the sun, why
we may not have just as fine stock as Ken
tucky or Virginia. All that is lacking is,
enterprise and energy. We have the grain
and the grazing fields. Give us the right
kind of men, and in five years there will
be a thorough revolution upon this sub
ject.
What has become Of the fair grounds
In other days we have seen splendid exhi-
billions of stock of all sorts upon these
grounds Our sturdy farmers from Bristol
TO ChattaneeS., came hither with their
stock n the products of their farms.
With the neac era which is upon ms. sup-
pose oar farmers inaugerate a new era in

"FREE SCHOOLS" which will give to
the poor a full opportunity to acquire the
advantages of education, is the means the
Republican party depends upon for the
success and permanency of its principles.
They would make the voter a free agent
and would take him out of the control of
the wire-working politicians, by whom he
is used for the perpetuity of their power
to plumber the people. Wherever the
voter is distinguished for general intelli-
gence, there Republican majorities are the
largest.
'.Free Suffrage" should be the corner
stone of all free government. No man
can nave equal rights with his fellow-man
who is denied the right of suffrage, and no
Government is republican in form that de-
MES the elective franchise to any of its citi-
zens who are liable to taxation or military
service. The poor man, whether he be
white or black. is a taxpayer. If he rents
a house he pays his landlord the taxes on
1T, and he indirectly pays taxes to the Ma
tionai Government upon every article that
he wears or consumes. The denial of suf-
frage to any class Of citizens is the refusal
of a right TO participate in the choice Of
those who make the laws under which he
is compelled to live, and who impose the
taxes which he is forced to pay. The de.
NAL of the franchise is monarchicai and
not republicans is might over right

NASHVILLE, Sept. "a, 1869.
Drifting about through the Editorial
ssSanctums'' of Nashville, where the heaps
ofexchanges are a conspicuous feature, one
may frequently hear criticisms regarding
the respective merits, photography, quail
ity of paper, and artistic execution of the
various issues from city and town. 1t was
on one of these occasions, yesterday, that
my attention was calledto the "Herald and
Tribune, by a business manager. "There."
said he, pitching me hat paper, there is
the Herald and Tribune, a paper publish
ed in Jonesborough East Tennessee, that
is perfection of photography and general
appearance excels all the other papers of
the State. 1t is a model of neatness. 1t is
anew paper and is bound to succeed among
people of taste"
This, Messrs. Editors, coming from a
typo of lifelong experience and no doubt
to youa stranger, is praise justly due your
energy in furnishing the people with a
model paper.
The violent purturbations of gold in N.
York, creates some anxiety here as to a
probable war with Spain, concerning the
Queen of the Antilles-Cuba. OF course
it is expected that many of the monarehs
ofEurope willlend a hand to their Moorish
sister; and it might turn out a m ighty big
thing. This, it is maintained, is making
gold so crazy

HAWKINS COUNTY.

We visited the neighboring county of
Hawkins last week, and believing that a
short account of what is going on in that
section may not be uninteresting to our
readers, we shall ask their indulgence
while we give a brief history of the pres
cnt condition of affairs in that thriving
portion of East Tennessee.
We arrived in Rogersville about Z
o'clock in the evening, after a rough ride
of fifteen miles in a four horse wagon, that
being the only conveyance we could find
at Bills Gap, the Railroad running from
that place to Rogersville having Temporal
rally suspended operations. We put up
at the American Hotel, which by the way
is one of the best We have ever stopped
at in this country. The proprietors,
Messrs. Powell and Walker, are agreeable
gentlemen, and use every exertion to rem
der their gusts as comfortable as possible.
We had an excellent supper, a well fur
nished room, and a clean bed to sleep on,
which we're indeed luxuries after our tire
some journey in getting there. We take
pleasure in recommending this hotel to all
who may have occasion to visit Rogersville.
This town is situated three miles from the
Holstein river, and is one of the most de-
sirable places in East Tennessee to live in.
Rogers, lille has always been celebrated
for its schools. While there, we visited the
Female College, which is one of the best
institutions of the kind in the South. The
building is now undergoing repairs. pre-
paratory to the opening of the fall and
winter session. the managers have secured
the services of Professor 4. w. Halbach.
late of the University of Virginia, who
coaa, IS highly recommended. and will take
charge of the College as President. From
our short acquaintance with him, we take
him to be a gentleman of character and
ability, well qualified to discharge the du'
ties of the responsible position which he
is destined to fill. Owing to some neces-
ssry repairs of the bailding, the school
viii not open until one month later than
the usual tme-but the managers propose
to deduct one months pay from the rugu-
lar tuition fee per session-so that if the
pupils lose time they will not lose any
money by the unavoidable delay.
They have also a Male Academy under

LEGAL ADVERTISING.

Allowing the Legal Advertising of the
State to be published only in certain pa
pers, is one of the most ~tyranical and out
rageous laws that any Legislature ever he'd
the audacity to enact.
A few publishers reap the harvest, while
all others are put entirely out of the ring.
No matter how loyal they were, nor even
how radicalth they were. Still few men
uerytew~ men-pulled the wool over the
eyes of the Legislature of our State and
succeeded in getting them to pass a law
for their private benefit. They did not
care if it did fall heavily on a friend in
the same business, so they were successful
in their bold undertaking, they gained all
they asked for, and all they could desire.
Such trickery may win for a while, but
it is bound to 60 under. That which is
not Just and honorable will not stand long
er, than the passions of men have time to
cool down. When the sober thought
comes after excitement, the errors of the
deceitful and ignorant are easily detected,
and though they seem right when prejdice
was high, now ever in their own minds af-
ter a calm and quietness, they feel miser-
able and distressed no doubt.
We are really glad to see the current of
public opinion is washing away all such
uncalled for p~rejudices, and that reason
and argument are taking the places of
malice and excitement.
We now have a Legislature elected,
which we hope will go to Nashville and
work for the good of the whole people,
and not for a few particular friends.
1t is to be hoped not only for the bene-
fit of publishers alone, but for the credit of
the State, hat the repeal of this Law will
be attended to early i'll the session.
We do not ask them to designate GER
tain papers, leaving out those who have
been favored, but merely ask that all be
put on equal footing. ,
This Legislature being composed of
some very excellent men, will no doubt
take early steps to r~elieave the people of
all laws that are oppressive. And they
knowing that 'equal rights to all men" is
the only sure road to success and pros
perity, we shall look anxiously for such an
improvement as has not been seen for ma
ny years in Tennessee.

especially when the stronger race would
deny it to the weaker. But. independ-
emit of this, the denial of suffrage to the
colored man closes to him the door of self
improvement, and prohibits him from a
fair and equal chance to earn his liveli-
hood. 1t virtually closes the work shop
to him and his children, and would keep
them for all time in the position of ''hew-
ers of wood and drawers of water" In
deed, we regard the question of free suf-
frage as one of the principles of Christian
ity. based upon the command ito do unto
others as we would be done by" and the
Christian minister who, under the plea of
its being a political question, refuses to
teach it from the pulpit, is lodging his
duty, and falling short of the require
ments of high and holy calling.

the Professorship of A. w. Main, which
is already in a fourishing condition. 1he
eolored school is also lagely attended.
The country around Rogersville Is rath-
err hilly. and the corr crop is somewhat
impaired by the dry weather, put there
will be a sufficient amount raised to sup
plv home demand, with a surplus for ex-
portation. The corn along the river it is
thought will yield (5O) fifty bushels of
grain to the acre. The wheat crop IN
Hawkins county was very good, and large
quantities are brought into town for sale.
There was also a good fruit crop and dried
apples and peaches are being brought IN
rapidly by the farmers in the surrounding
country.
Coal has been discovered in Hawkins
county, six miles from Rogersville, and is
thought to exist in large quantities, but
the mine is as yet undeveloped. There Is
also an Alum Spring which is attracting
considerable attention. We have not
seen an analysis of Its waters but 1T Is
strongly recommended for the cure OF dys-
pepsia and other diseases of the digestive
functions; no doubt it possesses many
valuable qualities.
The criminal court was in session while
we were there, and the small amount of
business transacted by that tribunal speaks
well for the peace and tranquility that now
prevails in the county. For a time after
the war closed, lawlessness prevailed to a
considerable extent in Hawkins county
but many of the leaders in the different
outrages that were committed have been
killed by others as lawless as themselves,
or we're convicted and sent to the Peniten-
tiary, and now a more law-abiding people
cannot be found in the South than lives in
Hawkins.
The river lands of Hawkins county are
are among the best in the State. The up
lands where proper cultivation has been
used are fertile; but a large amount of
land in this county has been so complete
ly exhausted as to hardly pay for cultiya-
ton, but is all capable of being improved,
and we trust the time will soon come
when farmers, not only in Hawkins county,
but throughout the country, will have
learned the importance of fertilizing their
lands from year to year, instead of prac-
ticing the present ruinous system which
has already made bankrupts of nearly e
fourth of our farming population. We
were shown a small field of tobacco in Rog-
e~rsyille, about three-fcurths of an acre,
from which the owner, Mr.. Mills, expects
to realize 1900 pounds, which at an aver
age of 20 cents per pound, will be worth
$500. Who can beat this?

suicide at niagara Falls.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Sept. 19.-
On Friday night a man about twenty-five
years of age, registered at the Cataract
House as "Carl Schurz, New York" Sat
urday morning he left the hotel, took a
carriage, and started for the new suspen-
sion bridge, but afterwards went to the
ferry and crossed to Canada. In going
over he remarked to the ferryman, while
looking up at the Falls. that he could walk
over on the edge of the Falls. After land
ing he went to the Table Rock, took off
coat, gave his money and watch to a boy
who was standing by, and walked into the
water, which is very shallow. About ten
feet from the brink he either sat down or
slipped down, and was carried over the
precipice. His body remained on the rock
below for several minutes. and could be
seen by the persons who were behind the
sheet of water at the time. 1t was wash
ed off and has not yet been recovered. His
coat and gloves are now in possession of q.

A Son Murders his Father fer
Money.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2O.-The particulars
are Just learned of most dastardly MUIR
der in Grundy county, about eight miles
south of this city. Samuel Brennemen, a
farmer, residing in Madison, about fifteen
weeks ago was suddenly missed from his
farm and neighborhood. Inquiry was
made for him of his family, but nothing
satisfactory could be learned until last
week, when suspicion became aroused of
foul play against Brenneman's son, John,
about twenty-three years old. The sus-
picion became so strong that he was ar
rested on Friday last and lodged in Jail
in this city, when he confessed that he,
with one Charles Morganf1ash, had killed
the old gentleman, and buried the body
under a dung heap on the farm. Officers
went to Marseilles on Saturday night and
succeeded in arresting Morganfash, brot.'
him to Morris, and lodged him in Jail.
Yesterday morning the Coroner, with q
large number of persons, proceeded to the
farm of Brenneman and found the body as
directed by the son John, buried under
the manure thrown from the horse stable.
The skull, upon examination, was found
to have been fractured, and the brains pro-
truded. An inquest was held, and a vef-
dict rendered that Brenneman was MUIR
dered by John Brenneman and Charles
Morganfash, and they are fully commit
ted on the charge.
The object seems to have been money,
of which the murderers got the pitiful
sum of fifty dollars. M~organfash denies
the charge. He is the father-in-law of
young Brennemam.
Brenneman hung himself in his cell this
morning, but was discovered and cut down
before life waa extinct. There are strong
threats of Judge Lynch, but it is hoped
that cooler Judgment will prevail.
