The Hottest SIMMER fora Century.

According to the weather record Of

centenarian who was running around
barefooted during the summers Of the
eight previous years remembers any
thing hotter we may, therefore, safely
call this the hottest summer for a CEN

The result is what's called GENERAL DEBILITY;
in other words. a failure and partial collapse

by great depression of spirits.

BLoUNT COUNTY.

This county has made reputation
second to none Of the sort in the State.
The ancient Theological Seminary oil
Maryville was taken possession Of
during the war by some Northern
gentlemen who managed to have 1t
opened to the negro as well as
white students. The loyal element up
there is not much in favor of education;
hence, the institution has languished
ever since. Brownlow took refuge in
that county when he was hiding out
from the Confederates for time in 1861.
The people over there have been swear
ing by Brownlow ever since-that is,
large class Of them who think a negro
is better than a white man. That is per-
haps the only county in the State where
the negro has been invited, as a rule, to
take seat at the table of white Union
lists. They love the negro, and hate JEFF
ferson Davis as they do that tabled old
youth of the masculine gender who has
been turned loose in Blount so long
The county was also disgraced forever by
a crowd of reckless law-breakers, who
whipped a Methodist preacher nearly to
death on two occasions and the last time
ruined him for life. But a change is
gradually coming over the people-over
some, at least--and we are glad to note
the fact, because it argues well for East
Tennessee, and indicates return of rea-
son, federation, and the dawn of better
intelligence At late election of county
officers by the County Court, every Off
Ger, including about dozen, is Con-
sentative. The fact is significant of bet
ter times.

FRANCE.


Tours, October Slate dispatches
from Epiral announces that on Wednes-
day severe battle was fought on the
road between Rouen, Latape and Buey-
eres, in the department of the Vqsges,
between column of Prnssians, number
ing 5000, and the French National
Guards and regulars, who were en-
trenched upon the high road. The Prus-
SLAMS were pushing forward from the di-
rection of Colmar, when they encoun-
tered the French, behind earthworks,
from which CALLING fire was poured
into the Prussians. The Prussians
charged them, their column supported
by artillery, but were not sufficiently
strong to dislodge the French, who har-
assed them from all sides. The engage
ment ended with the retreat of the
Prussians. The National Guards main
tanned their position, and are being rein
forced from Epiral.
The Vosges District swarms with indie

NANUR, October S.-Political dissen-
sions are said to be agitating the French
in Metz, and even the troops are reported
to be divided, while among the general
officers the party lines are distinctly
drawn, the Republicans and Imperialists
being about equally divided, though
there have been'as yet no difficulties re-
sulting from these diversities of opinion.
In several instances, however, when i'm
portant movements have been projected,
the failure of concurrent action among
the generals in council has prevented
those plans being carried out. of the
principal generals two, BazaiDe and
Bourbaki, still adhere to the cause of the
Emperor, while the veteran General
is fervent republican.
The mass of the soldiers proclaim them
