Our citizens were startled last evening about
six o'clock by the cry of fire, which aroused
and set in motion the fire department. TWAS
feared at one time that the large wooden ma
chine shop of the Messrs Sprague, at the
dam, was in flames, as bright light was seen
in that direction, but it appeared on a nearer
approach that only the SCOT in one of the
chimnies of the shop was on fire. No damage
was done. People almost held their breaths
when it was reported that the machine shop
was burning. The destruction of this building
with its valuable machinery would be ca
lamity greater than the loss of the old one on
the present site two years since,

A lady who had taken seat the other day
inside the stage coach from Bucksport to
Ellsworth, became somewhat i'll on the way.
The driver thinking a little fresh air might
relieve her, allowed her to take seat beside
him on the outside of the coach. The fresh
air, however, proved no antdote, and she re-
turned to her seat on the inside. Just before ar
irving at Ellsworth, the driver heard a strange
noise beneath the buffalo skin-a sort of stified,
distressed cry-not the noise of full grown
person, and the driver had no recollection of
taking any children on board that morning.
We will simply state that during the journey
another passenger was added to the number in
t he coach, and that in twenty-one years, if he
lives, there will be another voter in Maine
we trust republican one.

MAUEY COUNTY has every reason
to feel proud of the result of the late
election, although she failed to do he L
duty in polling a large vote. The
Congressman, State Senator, Floater
aud Represe ntative, + all from
-Maury County. Gen. WHITTHORNE
is one of Maurv's favorite sons.
Even the gallant and popular General
BROWN vas beaten by him in Maury
County, and it is likely that he has
Outstripped him in most ofthe coun-
ties of the sixth Congressional dis
trict. Colonel PEBBLES would have
made us an able State Senator, but
having been killed, another will have
to be elected by the people. Mr.. W.
b. GORDON was SO popular i'll the
counties of Maury and Williamson,
that he had no opposition for FlOater,
and We predict for him u brilliant
career. Inspired by noble ancestry,
and spurred by a laudable ambition,
all the ends he aims at will lie his
country's and his Gods. Mr.. VIII
SON, our Representative. is q member
of the present Legislature, and eXer-
ciscs in behalf of any measure for
his constituents a considerable iniu-
ence over his colleagues. The vote
he received at the last election is moi
as large as it should be, but a severe
family affection prevented him from
engaging in the IVA at the most
critical time, and advantage was Ia
ken of his absence. He will make us
an efficient Representative.

BuriaI g PEBBLES.


Col. Thos. Fl. PEBBLES was killed last
Thursday evening, in Williamson coun>
ty, not far from Thompson's Station, by
Mr.. Samuel A. Pointer, of Williamson
| county. The particulars of the killing
have reached us in many shapes. Mr..
Pointer was tried by two Justices of the
! Peace, and acquitted, the witnesses, we
learn, testiEying that Col. PEBBLES fired
the first shot.
The funeral and burial of Col. PEBBLES
took place On Saturday. 1t was probably
the largest funeral procession ever held
in the county. The funeral sermon was
preached by DR.. A. L. p. Green, and the
Methodist Church was full. DIR. Green's
subject wa the brittleness Of human
life, and although an hour and a hall
long, it was so beautiful, pathetic and
powerful, every eye was bathed i'm tears,
but two. After the sermon, the people
followed the corpse to the grave, preced-
ed by representatives of four Masonic
Lodges, about seventy-five altogether.
In the death of Col. PEBBLES, Tennessee.
and especially the community in which
he lived, has lost one of its most valua-
bic citizens. He has been a blessing to a
great many ofthe young men of Tennes-
see and other States. Anumber ofthe most
eminent of the business young men OF
COiuinDla can trace their success
skill to the deep foundation of a practi-
cal, thorough education, laid at Col.
PEBBLES school. Col. PEBBLES mind was
thoroughly practical, and he would have
been the leader of his party in the State
Senate in all measures looking to a hap
ply issue out of the financial difficulties
of the State. His fame as a teacher
spread abroad over far distant States,
and, We believe, the majority of his pu-
pills were from distant States and locals
ties. Of the merits of the unfortunate
difficulty which resulted in his death, it
is not cur province or disposition to
speak. A bad feeling had existed be-
tween Col. PEBBLES and Mr.. Pointer for
about eight months, and at one time the
breach between them became so alarms
ing that their friends undertook to arbi-
trate matters, which was finally accom-
plished.

Maury County Roads.

If there is anything a citizen of Maury
county ought 10 be ashamed of, il is the
roads OF his county. With the pos
sible exception of the Mt. Pleasant Pike,
there is not a first class road in Maury
county. The condition of the roads can
not be attributed to poverty, for our
county is rich in natural resources, and
the people themselves would prefer 10
pay toll on all the roads, If they were
Kept in good condition. The people are
simply in a deplorable state Of apathy.
They lack enterprise and concert of ac-
ton. If a gentleman from kentucky, or
any ofthe Northern States were to go
outon the Hampshire Pike, Pulaski
Pike, franklin Pike, or the Shelbyville
Pike, with a view Of purchasing a Rome,
he would be frightened away by the con-
dition ofthe roads. There is every rea-
son why Columbia should be the most
flourishing town in Tennessee, and the
only reason why it is not so is that we
have not a magnificent network of Turn
pixies running into the town, like Ruth
erford county and Murfreesboro.

cd widow and children our heartfelt

the family, also to the Banner of Peace,
