The Chattanooga Fire.

AT Chattanooga. on Monday last,
Policeman White arrested a negro man
giving his name as Jake Smith, who is
strongly suspected as the author of the
recent destructive coufagration in that
city. When searched a large gold
ring was found on his person. belong
ing to the Fischer Bros, and also two
keys belonging to freight cars on the
Western and Atlantic Railroad. He
was arrested on the chars OF theft.
and unless he has been informed of the
facts since, is not aware that he is
charged with being the ineendiary of
the late fire. The Chattanooga Times
says that Jake Smith. or Calhoun,
which is his real name. is an expert
william, which will be readily under
stood when it is known that he freed
himself from his shackles in a Jew mill
utes after the were placed upon him.
One of the prisoners says he has an
instrument about three inches long,
withwhich he sawed the springs ofthe
clasps in two. Though diligent search
has been made OF his person twice.
nothing of the kind has been found.
Mr.. White has been actively engaged
ever since the fire III ferretihg out this
matter, and has left no stone uHturned
in collecting sufficient proof TO insure

Terrible Accident.

80 80 Hrs- EHr TFE
Yesterday morning, at ten minutes past
seven o'clock, shop time, while the work
was proceeding assusual in the rolling
mill Of the Knoxville Iron Company, the
large fy-wheel suddenly gave way and the
heavy cast-iron perimeter, section after
section, crashed through the strong tim
bers which supported the roof, breaking
them like reeds, and the greater part of
the building fell a mass of ruins.
Most of the hands who were working at
their various stations had barely time to
escape in the short interval between the
bursting of the wheel and the falling of
the timber. A few who did not get out,
as if BY a miricle. had the good fortune to
escape instant death.
Frank Billiards, a colored workman,
was struck on the back by a piece of tim
Der. but bis physician says his injuries are
not serious. The air was filed with a
cloud of dust, and in the darkness and
terror of the moment IT was uncertain how
many had escaped. The engineer, WIN.
Nickle, remained heroically at his post,
and crawling out from the rubbish, stop
ped bis engine and blew the fre-alarm
whistle. 1t was at once discovered that
the debris had taken FIRE from the red
hot iron lying on the floor of the mill
-
The hose was promptly laid from the sta
tionary fire engine a few yards distant
across the creek. but before it was ready
for action the fire had been extinguished
by the hands with water from buckets.
The fy-whcel was very large being a.
bout twenty-five feet in diameter. The
spokes were of wood, and the rim of heavy
cast iron, each section weighing from If
teen hundred to two thousand pounds
1t was making about fifty revolutions per
minute, the engine running only for "a
pudding heat" 2. !.
Tie accident could not have happened
at a more fortunate time. as during the

and numerous spectators are sometimes
present. At such a time the loss of life
might have been fearful. /.
The actual damage done is much light.
er than was at first supposed, as the COM
pany were about to put in new work for
all that was destroyed by the accident.
A new wheel had been made and will be
pnt in at once. We are assured that
there will be no serious delay, and work
will be resumed in a very few days.
The building will be replaced with {.
new one every way larger and better a
dapted to accomm odate the growing bust

On Tuesday night of last week, jesse
Kerr, ST.. who resides in London county,
on the stage road leading from Maryyille
to Madisouyille, was robbed of S2,4O0 in
gold and 81. 900 in q. S. currency. Two
men went to his residence in the night,
and were observed by a boy, attempting
to force open the door of the room in which
Mr. Kerr kept his valuables.
He ordered them away. and obeying,
he fred upon them, and it is said wounded
one of them in the hand. They returned
the FIRE, slightly wounding the boy. and
then forced their way into the room and
accomplished their purpose and then made
good their escape, carrying their booty
with them. e.
Mr. has offered a reward of $1,000
for the apprehension of the robbers and
the recovery of the money.
He say they were white men disguised
and BACKED. He also states that one of
them had some of the fingers Of the right
hand shot off by the boy, aud was also
shot in tho shoulder. They went to
Lenoir's the same night and took passage
on the Chattanooga train. 1t seems to us
the scoundrcl with his fingers shot off
might be discovered. The fact that they
went directly to the room where the mon
ey was kept would indicate that thoyknew
something about it.-KnorciHe Chroni-

-g The Grand Duke Alexis, after a long
voyage, has reached our shores. A repre-
sentative Of q mighty despotism, as cruel as
human wrong and cold'as It's deserts ofsnow
he is the honored and welcomed guest OF
free America. He is thus honored and
welcomed, because of his elevation aud in
fuence in one of the leading powers of the
world. Not a single principle or policy
enters into his Government that Ameri-
cans respect, in fact it is the incarnation
of = despotism they instinctively abhcr.
Their history. struggles. traditions. po-
litical fsith and religious creeds are g.
q verse to the rule of the Gar and the de-
signs of Russian diplomacy. But hardly
has the Grand Duke been introduced to
our magnificent Inequalities. and enter
ed upon the round of dazzling ~orations
planned to make his visit gratifying and
memorable, when We are told that his,
mission to orr|c 'arir.y is to propose an
alliance, offensive and defensive, with a
eixisw not only to present anticipated COM
plications in Europe,9 but also to future
operations on a gigantic scale in Asia"
Although Russia was the earnest and de-
veted friend to our Government in the late
civil war, Alexander, will find when the
proposition is made, that it is not the poll
icy Of our people to form any ..entangling
r. alliances" to send forth their sailors to rob
and destroy commerce. or to take any
part inthe q%uarrels of European tyrants, I
much less to disregard and violate national
laws and treaties. 4

GER FOR PRESIDENT.

Horace Greeley, in a recent num-
of the New York TriJune, declares
for Hon. Charles Sumner, of Massachus-
etts. as the Republican candidate for tne
Presidency. Whilst the Tribune, as it
has repeatedly asserted, will support
Gen. Grant if nominated, this declaration
evidences the deepest hostility to that
nomination, when Summers labored and
PERSISTENT warfare upon the Administers
ton for the San Domingo affair are called
10 mind.
The great usefulness of both Sumner
and Greelhy, in bringing material strength
70 the Republican party. are not to be ig-
sored nor deprecated. neither are their
services, in promoting its future successes.
to be lightly esteemed. When the Re-
publican party was graphing with the
slave power on battle fields, and fighting
the foreign sympathies hat were supply
ing its vitality and energies. the passive
ness or opposition of these men. would
have been a disaster equaling the loss of
many battles. The Republican party has
. 6tly and promptly recognized their inval-
liable aid and freely given them an un
limited confidence. But their esteem
gratitude and confidence are not so par
tial and confined that they will permit
Sumner and Greeley or any individual or
combination of individuals to contravene
their wishes or arrogantly dictate the
general course of party action.
The nomination of Sumner is ill-tirae5
and censurable. as it reveals a conspiracy
to thawrt an unmistakeable popular wish
the reelection of President Grant a.
the voice of the Fall election declared
Had the people refused to endorse his ad-
z ministration, Summers aspirations and
Greeley's nomination could not be object
ed to, nor would any objections be urged
against them from any respectable quar-
ter.
1t is a fact of some significance that
these two politicians have differed widely
rs to the proper policy of Southern. Re-
construction. Whilst Sumner supported
the three famous Amendments to the
Constitution, Greeley Numbered through
the heavy columns of the TrIune. Uni

by becoming a bondsman for the impris-

He took this bold step in the release of
Davis from a Calling captivity, when the
Massachusetts, Statesman was electrifying
the Senate and the country with the fer,
cest anathemas against the rebellion, and
demanding the most condign punishment
OF its leaders. In view of these former d.
versities and rs no political events have
since t%ranspired to bring them into a
closer harmony of news, the suspicion is
not groundless that this hostility is Undue
cd by personal feeling. while their great
ness loathes such a principle, yet the frail-
ties ef human nature 80 abound, that
even the greatest men can not entirely d.
vest themselves Of it. But we are per-
suaded that this Greeley-Sumner candi-
dAcy will meet with such condemnation,
that it will be Withdrawn. that there may
not be tho slightest obstacle %interposed

Hog Raising and Pork Packing
ian East He ~lsncsSee.


The hog market has now fairly openedt
and the packing business has begun il
earnest. s1
Cooke County is the great hog-raising
county of East Tennessee. About foul
thousand head nave been driven from this
| county aud Jefferson this season. Two
men, Stewart and Evans, drove thirteen
hundred. These hogs 60 by the way OF
Warm Springs aud Asheyille, North Caro-
liza, to Greenville in South Carolina,
where they reach the railroad and are
shipped to various points in the State and
sold. T0i "a
Powell's Valley sells about six hundred
and fifty hogs this year. Four hundred
went across by the Warm Springs route
on foot and TWO hundred and fifty will be
shipped from there by the way of this
city to-day to Georgia.
The hogs now going to market are corn
fed. Hogs fattened on the mast will come
in principally from the mountains) dur
ing the mouths of January and February.
These hogs are generally as numerous as
the corn-fattened hogs and come in large
lots. They may be expected this year.
especially. in increased numbers, as the
mast is very fine. They are smaller in
size than the corn-fed hogs, and their ba-
con is soft and oily and not so good.
The want of railroad and river COM
M unication, and its large amount of river
bottom land, upon which immense quanti-
ties of corn are raised, are the causes of
Cooke County taking the first rank as a
hog raising county. The same thing may
be said of Poweli's Valley. The farmers
of these sections cannot ship their corn
and hence feed it to hogs, whic can be
driven out to market 5000
Hog raising is important to the farmers
of East Tennessee, and should receive
more earnest attention. Improved breeds
should be more generally introduced and
larger numbers raised -knoroiNe Chroni-
