pTThe present Spring is nearly three
weeks in advance of the two preceding
wears. Trees which are now full-budded,
and the leaves nearly out, at this time last
wear exhibited but few signs Of life. All
this will result in much earlier crops, and
the present prospect is that crops, of al
most every description. win be abundant.
The only thing now much TO be feared. is,
that heavy frosts may occur to damage
some of the tender trees and crops.

next morning from the effect of the
wound. The Columbia Democrat says:

Beat them together, so as to form
plaster, and apply to the wound.
A yellow water will issue, and when
the plaster becomes soaked with the pois-
on, it falls off. Renew the plaster until
it will not adhere to the wound, when it is
evidence that the poison has all been
drawn.

The Sweetwater enterprise. (Sweetwater, Tenn.) 1869-187?, 1870-02-24

A resolution was adopted that when the
Legislature %adjourns, it do so to meet again
on the first Monday in May.
Russell, of Rutherford and Bedford, Of
fered a resolution setting forth that the
act of the Legislature authorizing the is
suance of bonds to the East Tennessee
University, was a direct violation of the
laws of Congress, but ordering the Comp
t%roller to issue his warrant for the inter
est due to the LIST day of January, when
said bonds shall have been returned to
him. Eteming opposed, and the matte.
Vas finally referred to the Committee e.
COmmOa Schools.
Siugletary's resolution d%enouncing the
poll tax qualification of the amended Con-
stitution as an outrage upon the liberties
of the people of Tennessee, was laid upon
the table by a large majority, on account
of the Objectionable language.

Will there be a War ?

The bill recently introduced into the
lower branch of Congress for the suppress
ion of polygamy in Utah has evoked from
the Mormons a fierce protestatlon that
obey will fight sooner than submit to it,.
1t is now stated that the committee to
which it was referred, will report favora-
bly, upon it. 1t will then be the duty Of
the President to enforce the law by force
of arms. Will the Mormons quietly sub
nit, or will they fight!
That the United States government has
nothing to do with the social relations of
the Mormons or their religious belief, un-
der the Constitution, is a fact which we
suppose no sane man will deny; for it pro-
vides that "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
The question is not now what Congress
can do, but what will it do? In this case
it will very probably pass the anti-Mor-
mon bill, and if the Mormons resist there
will be a speck of war. They (the Nor
mons) are said to have twenty-five thou
sand men, that are able to carry arms.
That number properly managed, would
make a nice little fight of about six months
duration, which the South could enjoy
looking at as she would not be expected
to furnish her quota of troops, or if she
was called upon, the "loyal' men would
have to 60. Let them ight-we are not
interested "may the best man win"
The Sweetwater enterprise. (Sweetwater, Tenn.) 1869-187?, 1870-02-24

An enterprising Missourian cut out a
sheet of ice $50 feet long aud l65 feet
wide, and ten inches thick, and started to
raft it en- masse down the Mississippi to
St. Louis, 100 miles distant. One end of
the field was sharpened to serve as a
bow and the other end rounded for a stern.
A skiff was fastened to each side to give
the requisite sheer when necessary, and
a cook-stove and provisions were taken on
the ice. After a prosperous voyage Of
twenty miles the concern unfortunately
ran into an ice-bOund point of land, and
broke into three pieces. Although it
was dark at the time, all the men and the
cook-stove were saved, but the ice broke
rapidly up and disappeared in the dark.
ness. The protector of the scheme will
try it again, and is confident that he can
do better next time.

Another Homicide.

A difficulty occurred at Coghill, in this
county, on Tuesday night, between Joseph
Cooke and D. II. Dickey, which terminal
ed in the death of the former. 1t seems
that they had a quarrel some time before,
which was renewed on the night mention
ed. Cooke was stabbed twice with a
knife, and died in a few minutes. 1t is
said there we're several persons present
when the fight occurred, but we have not
been able to learn any further particulars.
Both parties were respectfully connected.
and both young men who had not attain
ed their majority.
Since the above was in type we have
received additional information about the
homicide, from which it appears that
Cooke was the aggressor, and that the
parties were down on the ground when the
stabbing was done-Dickey underneath
Our informant states that Dickey surren'
dered himself ON Wednesday, and was un'
dergoing a preliminary trial. This is the
second homicide that has occurred in this
county within the last three weeks, anc
we trust it will be some time before We
are called upon to record another.

REVOLUTION.

In commenting upon an item Of news to
the effect that the Democratic soldiers,
East aud West are forming organizations
to counterfeit the Grand Army of the Re-
public, Col. Tom Howard, of the Atlanta
Express, indites the following epitaph on
American liberty;
An apathy, profound as the sleep Of
death, is upon the American people, and
they have allowed the most contemplate
scum that the ebulitions of revolution
ever threw to the surface to usurp every
power of the Government. What sort of
a spirit must q white nation of people pos
sess who suffer two such travcsties on man
as Sumner and Butler to bully aud de-
grade them in the face of mankind
No use at this early day Of the over
throwing of the government in looking for
a manly resistance by the sword. The on
ly party in this country that would fight
for anything is the party of plumber that
now usurps all place of power. That par
ty no doubt would fight to holaon to its
ill.gOtten advantage, and we do not think
that there is a plausible reason for doubt
ing that the Grand Army of the Republic,
as it is vauntingly dubbed, is an existing
organization as perfect as in the nature of
things it could be, pledged to the main
tenance of Radical ascendanoy. As long
as trickery and perjury will avail, they
will still be resorted to by the Radical
party as usual. The history of all usur-
patton shows that the designing tyraut
prefers to secure his ends by colour of
law. Open and defiant disdain of its let
ter is held as a last resort. To that in
good time Grant and his minions will come
whenever the Democratic party by some
huge blunder of the laundering set that
oppose it, shall find itself fairly entitled
to the control of the government on a gen.
eral election. 1t would have come in an
open fight last election if Seymour and
Blair had been chosen. There is not q
doubt of it, and there is just a little doubt
that thousands and tens of thousands Of
the electors went to the side of Grant and
Colfax just because this idea prevailed
We have already passed into a complete
revolution and overthrow of the govern
ment, with as little cognizance of the fac
as one would cross a subterranean stream
As sure as the sky is above us, the devil
of Radicalism will never be exercised blu.
by FIRE; let us say it abby fire ant
sword. Calmly may we afford to look OF
when this dance of death begins. w
have paid our tribute in blood and stanC
acquitted. We say then to the "Demo
cratic soldiers, East and West,'' 60 il
proudly, this funeral is yours.

CnlIacting Manure.

The collection and application of manure
should go on continually, for the grasses
and cereals and all kinds of cultivated
plants make an annual draft on the soil
for the ingredients which enable them to
build up their stems, foliage and seeds.
No liquid or solid manure suited for en-
riching the soil, should be allowed to go
to loss about the homestead. SOapsuds,
wood ashes, SCOT, charcoal, sawdust, ETC.,
may be applied to the soil with much ben
eft to the crops. Leached wood ashes
are very useful for top dressing grass land,
deepening the color of the plants and in
creasing.

House.

White moved to take up Senate bill
providing for the appointment of County
Marshalls, on second reading.
He said the recent outrages at Golfers
vile, added to those which had already oc-
Cured, urgently demanded the passage Of
the bill. The motion was agreed TO-, and
a long discussion followed. A bill in lieu,
offered by Fleming, was finally adopted,
increasing the duties of sherifs and other
peace officers, as to the enforcement of
the laws, and imposing severe penalties
for dereliction of duty; also, authorizing
the Governor to appoint MarShals and
send them, with discretionary pow ers,
wherever the public peace and safety may
demand.
Senate bill to sustain the State credit
passed second reading, after having been
amended so as to reduce the rate of State
taxation from 80 to Is cents on the hun,
