CORRECTION.

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
Your reporter of the proceedings of the
Board of Aldermen, published yesterday,
is entirely incorrect in regard to the re-
ports submitted by myself as Revenue
Collector, and also as Treasurer of the
city. The mistakes are not material, ex-
cept as to the item reported in the city
treasury, which is stated to be 1910
The sum reported by me as remaining IN
the city treasury on the 1st inst. was $l9,-
546.87, which is considerably less than
1877, 900. A large number of accounts
were allowed by the Board on Tuesday
afternoon, which, when concurred in by
the Common Council, will reduce the
treasury to zero. A considerable sum is
always on hand at the beginning of each
month, boarded up to pay theexpenses of
the preceding month which expenses are
allowed after the report is made, and paid

THE GOVERNMENT TAX
SALE MIDDLE.
4 Large Amount of Property All
Over the City Involved.

over the City Involved.
From the Memphis Avalanche, July TO-
The Fort Pickering property excite
ment is not abating. There car hardly
be less than four million dollars worth of
property involved in this trouble. Claim
ants are continually turning up; men who
bought property at the United States sale
at low figure, and fully expected to have
it; but when that cruel war was over the
original owners came back and rudely
thrust them forth, without even paying
the tax that had been due, much less pay
ing the amount bid at the sale, as the oc-
cupant had right to expect. You can
touch up mans politics without iniur-
ing him much; you may even sheer at
his religion, in most cases, without rails
ing his ire; but the sore spot in all men is
the pocket. This will be bitter con-
test. Property all over the city is in
volved, and those who paid their
-four or five hundred dollars six
years ago are anxious to get
possession of what they purchased.
There are all manner of people on both
sides. Some of the most rabid seces-
sionists in town at present, who were
here specializing and money making then,
want the Government to declare those
sales valid and turn the property over to
the purchasers. The fight and the feel
ing grow warm. Thousands upon thou
ands of acres outside the corporate limits
are involved. Ryder and half a dozen
others rushed off to Washington
last night upon receipt of in
telligence to the effect that the
Government fully intended to keep its
faith to the letter with those who brought
property at the sales referred to. The
haste to make compromises was like a
panic yesterday, and it is reported that
number of settlements have been effected
upon very saltry terms A number of
stiffnecked fellows who regarded their
money as lost, seem to be the worst now;
they say they are bound to have what
they purchased, or nothing. 1t is posi-
lively asserted that the property involved
is valued at four million dollars.

ST.. LNUIs, July 13.-A duel wa:
fought this afternoon between Mai.
Henry Kettle, formerly of the 3lst
New York regiment, subsequently on the
staff of Gen. Caloine Pratt, and now on
the reportorial staff of the st. Louis
Times, and Capt L. P. Van, said to have
once served in the French army.
The weapons were cavalry sabres.
Kettle received a slight wound on the
forehead, and triiing cut on the right
hand. One of Vans eyes was put out by
thrust. The whole affair involves con-
siderable mystery. The seconds are not
known, and the principals are extremely
reticent. The fight grew out of
reflections cast on the fighting
qualities of the Yankees by Capt. Van

Speaking of the crops in Washington
county, the Jonesborough Herald and
Tribune of the 7th inst says the wheat crop
which is now nearly harvested in that
county is one of the best, if not the very
best, that has been raised since the war.
There is some complaint of smut but upon
the whole the farmers are very well satisfied.
Oats promises well. The rains during the
month of June revived this crop and there
is a prospect for fine yield. Corn is also
looking finely and the present prospect is
favorable.
The Jonesborough Herald and Tribune
of the 7th instant says oats in Washington
county excel anything of the kind eyer
introduced in that section. The editor
visited the field of Capt. Geo. Mcpherson
a few days ago which was sown in black
Norway oats, and says he has never seen
any grain to equal it in Tennessee.
