no matter what business trou-~

had no power to blight
There's my tatherl' with what

heart does not swell with love,
whose eyes do not glisten, who

thing worth having In this

FROM f, A. COLLINS. ESQ,
Of MILAN. Tenn.


Msssrs. Pigue, Manier & Hall, NdshriIlc,
Ienn:
GENTLEMEN: DR.. LIGHTHILL expects to
visit your city soon, and for the benefit OF
the suffering l wish to say, through you,
to your very extensive acquaintance in
this and other Southern States that DIR.
Liehthill can do all for the suffering that
can be afforded by skill, science and a
comprehensive experience.
Indeed, DR.. Lighthill performs some
almost miraculous cures. One case for in
stance. placed under his treatment, over
two years since, my niece, Miss Eliza
Mitchum, of McLemoresville, Tenn. She
had been suffering from child with
rising in the head, which had for years
emitted through the ear very ugly and
offensive corruption. Her case had been
treated by the best physicians of the coun-
try and had baffied the skill Of all. DIR.
Lighthill kept her under his immediate
charge for ten days and then sent her home
with remedies. She used the remedies az
directed and in three months was entirely
well and still continues in excellent health
1t may be proper to state that when Miss
Mitchum went under DR.. Lighthill's treat
ment she was unable to walk and, as her
friends thought, was rapidly approaching
death.
If you have any friends among your e1-
teusive acquaintance suffering with any
chronic disease you may safely recommend
them to DR.. Lighthill.
Yours, very respectfully,
E. A. COLLINS.

A Detective Of this City Falls into the
hands Of the GhOstIy Khan.


F.
About 8 o'clock yesterday morning as |
the train of the Nashville and Decatur
railroad, bound for this city, reached Co
lumbia, several men disguised in red masks
and red clothing enteredt the cars, and made
a rapid search until they reached seat or
which Capt. S. Barmore, detective of
this city, occupied. He was lying down at
the time, with his shawl over him. The
party tried TO arouse him, but Barmore
either feigned sleep, or was rather hard to
awake, and after several attempts to get
him up, one Of the porty drew his pistol,
and punched the detective in the side,
when he got up. and at the command of
the men in disguise, he followed them out
of the train. Our informant tells us that
Barmore as he proceeded through the car,
walked lame, but made no resistance what
ever. The party conducted him to the
platform, where some twenty or thirty Of
the ghostly khan were stationed, and in
few moments the train started, leaving
Barmore in the hands of his captors.
Detective Barmore was returning from
Pulaski to this city. He had arrested,
several days ago, in this city, man named
Tyler Clark, charged with being an accom-
plice of Aleck Mason in the robbery of
Fishers store at Pulaski, and who at the
time was endeavoring to make his way to
Chicago. He sent the man TO that place,
where he was confined in Jail. Afterwards
he was summoned to Pulaski as witness,
it being stated that Clark was about to get
out Of custody on a writ of habeGs corpus.
1t was upon this mission that Barmore
visited Pulaski
Up to five o'clock last evening, when the
train passed Columbia, nothing had been
heard of Barmore, and what has been his
fate is not known.
| The impression prevailed in the city
yesterday that the persons engaged in the
capture of Barmore were not the genuine
Kuklux, but worse men, who have as
sumed the guise of the ghostly khan with
which TO conceal the preparation of 8
grave offense against the laws of the State
and the peace Of society. If there really
be existing in Tennessee such an organiza
ton as Kuklux, and we have anything
like correct idea of its nature and ob
jects, il would be difficult to conceive wha
cause of quarrel they could have will
Capt. Barmore, or any other person en-
gagged in deecting and suppressing crime
as was the case in this instance.
In the meantime, let US hope that n,
personal violence has befallen the captured
detective.

heavy, footing up many thousands Of
pounds, and our dealers are worked up to
their full capacity to keep pace with their
orders, The stocks of bulk meats are
growing light, and are daily diminishing
under the heavy demand. Bacon is in
light stock and is held firm at our figures
New hams of fayorite curing are much
sought after, and are very scarce in the
market. Messrs. Hart & Hensley will
have out of smoke the latter part OF this
week small let of their fancy Country

popularity of this "home brand" is not
surpassed by any imported article brought

aware of this fact than our retail dealers,
all of whom sell them. Lard is in good
supply, and our quotations are lower by

TUESDAY, Jan. IL, 1869.
Cotton Market.
We left the cotton market at close Of our
last review excited. and advancing steadily,
since which time it has been bouyant and
very active for the most of the time. At
the opening of the present week, there
was decline, but on the day following it
recovered again, and continued TO advance,
closing this week fully cents higher than
it did on the week previous. To-day the
market has been steady, without any ma
terial change in prices from that of Mon
day. There was, however, evidently a
better feeling after the reception of the last
advices from Liverpool which quoted the
market firmer, and we doubt not will
open in the morning at a fraction advance
over the closing prices of to-day as fol-
lows:

ton of paternity, and other disputed points
Of minor Importance connected Herewith
has been engaging the attention of our
Worshipful County Court for the past few
days. 1t appears that female of hitherto
unblemished reputation institutes proceed
ings against a well known and respectable
citizen under the bastardy act. He pleads
not guilty TO the soft Impeachment, and,
therefore, the question of probabilities is
submitted for adjudication TO the tribunal
mentioned. A good deal Of testimony for
and against the accused has been taken,
and the case has been ingeniously argued
on both sides. The court has not yet rem
dered its decision, and for this reason We
for the present refrain from more definite
reference to the merits of the Gaze.

A friend who devotes a good deal OF
attention 10 the signs of the times saya
that the man who sprinkles ashes or saw
dust over frosted pavements to keep Pedes
TRANS from clipping down and dislocating
their necks, or doing themselves some
slighler injury, is always philsnthropist
and most generally an individual with
pious incliDations. We say that those per
sons who promptly remove the snow from
the sidewalks in front Of their houses are
also public benefactors, whose kindness
will be remembered in this and rewarded
10 better world. Every man who has
much walking TO do in these slippery times
will appreciate the truth Of our friends
remarks on this subject.
