SUNDAY SCHOOL. In company with
several ladies and gentlemen from
town, we went out last Sunday after
noon and attended the Sunday School
at the "Fee Schoolhouse," two or three
miles west of Knoxville. The house
was SO crowded that the regular exer-
cises Of the School could not be con-
ductcd, aud SO a large part of the time
was passed ia singing. The School
numbers now 81 members, although
only In its second year. Mr.. +. K

TIE FOWLER LANps.-NI Coen, of

TIE FOWLER LANDs.-Mr. Ceen, of
Abba, Agent of the Fowler Lands,
informs us that since the middle of
last March he has sold 1900 acres of
land from this Estate, in the Counties
Of Lucas, Monroe and Marion. There
were at first about Is, 900 acres of these
Lands in the three Counties named;
and about 5000 acres yet remain un-
| sold. The great monopoly closes out
slowly.
Mr.. Coen mentions that the pur-
chase of these lands was really intend
ed as an act of benevolence. Mr.. Jo-
scph Fowler, of New Orleans, a very
wealthy man, had great many poor
relatives, living in Maryland. 1t oc-
Cured to him that the best thing he
could do for them would be to colonize
them. So he bought the Land War
rants, in 1913, had them located, and
then started around by steamer for
New York, in 1919, to gather up his
relatives for the colonization; but on
the trip he died. He left no will;
and the Estate was seven years in
process Of settlement.

average Is to 20 bushels to the acre,
and oats 80 to so; and that ''corn is
doing grandly." The Register has
excellent means of judging; and per-
haps its estimates are as nearly cor
rect as any now available. AS to
other Western States, the only posi-
tive opinion we can form is, that the
wheat and corn crops have been
seriously Injured; but to what extent,
we cannot find good means nov CT
judging.
Pollard, the rebel historian of the
South, publishes letter urging that
the late election in Virginia was san
event in history" and that it means
"the disintegration Of anything like
a peculiar Southern civilization, and
the abandonment of opposition to
the cause of Reconstruction" We
earnestly hope these views may be
correct. When the old "South"
ceases to be a separate and distinct
part of the country, and becomes
once thoroughly imbued with the
liberal and progressive spirit of the
age, our Nation as a whole will be
much more prosperous, happy and
powerful. a
And not only Mr.. Pollard, but 9th,
er Southern authorities hold that the
Democratic party cannot longer re-
main a separate political organiza-
ton in the South, but that new
party must arise, taking its base on
live and debatable issues. The
more we reflect upon this, the more
we think the conclusion correct, no'
only South but North also. Itseem'
to us that the Democratic party
shows strong signs of dismember
ment. The Republican party viii
remain an entity at least for severa
years yet; but after another Presi
dental campaign, if not before it
the Democratic party, as it now ex
lists, will be Il thing of the past, and &
new party will arise, doubtless EN-
bodying all the old Democratic ha.
tired of equal freedom and progress,
and the old Democratic love for ig.
norance and vice, but blending with
them some other features--in short
making a new deal of the cards tc
play thessame old game.

The Cold SNAP AND THE CRoPs-From
every portion of our District we hear of the
serious damage done to the crops, especially
cotton, by the late heavy hail storm and the
cold wind that has followed it. Some of
our formers tell US that their entire cotton
crop is killed outright, others say that at
least half of theirs has been killed, while the
other half is 80 badly damaged that it will
not be worth anything. II the cotton crop
fails this year it will be the heaviest blow
that our farmers have felt since the war, as
great many of them have spent their entire
crop of last year in commercial manures.
We sincerely hope it may not be as bad as
represented, but fear it is too true

WEATHER AND CRops. the night of
the 5th instant, great rain fell through
out the District, accompanied with hail,
washing the lands and doing considerable
damage to cotton just coming up, and corn.
These crops are very backward and the
stand invariably complained of as bad. The
weather remains COOL and up to the morn
ing OF the 9th we hear reports of slight
frost. Oats and wheat look healthy and
promising, but the surface seeded is con-
sidered comparatively narrow.

Speaking of the European alliance, the
New York Herald says:
The despatch in New York paper of yes
terday, stating that an alliance against the
United States was being formed between
England, France and Spain, is not believed
in diplomatic circles in Washington. It is
not usual to communicate such matters to
foreign representatives, and the tenor of
the despatch is considered highly improba-
BILE. Secretary Fish says England has as
much cause to complain of Spain as we
have, and President Grant has not decided
upon any foreign policy that can be obnox-
ious to any of the great powers. But, in
case the alliance were formed, Ireland would
take care of England, Bismark of France,
Russia would settle up the Eastern question
without opposition, general war would
ensue in Europe, and Spain would lose
Cuba in just three days.
