The mercantile busines of the vii
IaQe is carried on by eight or ten stores,
doing a fair business, with good stocks.
In point of health it Is par excellence,
a most attractive locality, being high,
and free from all malarious In
fluences, and hence Is the place Of
residence selected for the presid-
ing elder of the Methodist
church for that section, Is the
place of residence of Judge
Elijah Walker, one Of the ablest
jurists In the State; and Of other gen.
tlemen who seek healthful locality.
1t affords all the advantages OF
churches and schools. One feature OF
this locality worthy Of special note Is
8 rock formation very peculiar. For
about five hundred yards above the
ferry is a continuous ledge Of pure
limestone rocks, the bed of which Is
at the edge of the river at low water,
rising in layers; the first or bottom
being from three to five feet thick and
from ten to twenty feet in diameter,
and each stratum in the rising fOrma-
ton diminishing in thickness until
the upper is not more than six inches
thick, and between each layer there ls
a well defined groove. By the use of
a common lever they may be sepa-
rated with as much precision as the
tobacconist separates the different
layers of the tweed" in opening
his box. Without any definite
information on the subject the writer
would not hesitate to estimate the
value Of this Stone at 500, 900 if prop
erly utilized, and yet without trans-
pOrtation it is as valueless as il in the
heart of the dominions of San D0min-
gO-the only portion of the globe for
whose acquisition Mr.. Seward has
evinced no anxiety. The entire pop
ulation of this beautiful village Is
noted for social refinement, morality,
hospitality, ens-gy, and especially
for the most marked attention to
strangers Rhd guests visiting the
bluff village of the capriciOus Spoon
river.

SAVANNAH.
Exploration Of Terra Incoshita-A Letter
That Is an Eye-0psner to Menphls
TFadesmen.

From an Occasional Correspondent
SAVANNAH, Tenn, October 49,
Savannah-the probable terminus
of the Memphis, Bolivar, Savannah
and Knoxville airline railroad for
some time before its extension to
Columbia and Knoxville-is situated
on the eastern bank of the beautiful
Tennessee river, little over one hun
dred miles, on q direct line, from
Memphis. The site is q bluff over
one hundred feet high, commanding
fine view Of the fertile valleys and
hills Of Hardin and McNairy, though
cut of from the outer world OF COM
merce, except by the river. Uniortu-
nately the Tennessee runs almost di-
rectly north, and consequently con-
yeys the corn, wheat, beef, pork, eggs,
etc, etc., of this district to cities
amply supplied with these products
by the great northwest, and hence
the river serves no valuable CONNER
cial purpose, and this fact explains
Wny these articles sell here for about
one-third the price given in Boil
var and Memphis, while the
cost of transportation would be
incOnsiderable, If the contemplated
road was running from Savannah TO
Memphis, via Bolivar. Savannah is
the county seat of Hardin county,
containing about one thousand in
habitants, has q new and very pretty
courthouse, a college in successful
operation, woolen factory, turning
out three hundred yards OF fine jeans
per day, besides blankets, yarns and

NEW YORK POLITICS.

Reformers" IHdorsed by
Republicans.

NEW YORK, October 20.-Charles
OConnOr has associated with himself
W, H. Peckham, VIM. NJ. Evsrts and
Judge Emmet, the first mentioned
being a Democrat and the two latter
Republicans, as counsel in the prose-
cutiOn for the defrauded municipal
government. Samuel ]. Tilden, the
chairman of the Democratic State
committee, was present at the confer
ence between the attorney. general OF
State and OConnOr concerning these
suits. He believes the proceedings
will be successful. Tweed will be
probably the first attacked. 1t is be-
lieyed the evidence against him is
very strong, and is based upon the
Broadway bank disclosures. The
repeating business is going to have
the especial attention Of the reformers,
and most summary measures aret0 be
taken against any operators Of this
class. The grand jury had the case OF
mayor Hall under deliberation yes
teTday, and subp@nas were issued
for the attendance of witnesses.

The Case ofths UultsG States vs.. Hawkins

SALT LAKE, October 19.--In the
case of Hawkins, the polygamist,
charged by his first wife with adul.
tery, the jury was finally empanelled
this afternoon, and the trial COM
menced. Tom Fitch, for the defend
ant, occupied all the morning in an
argument that he had right, under
the United States law, to temporarily
challenge, while the prosecution had
only a right TO two. Judge McKeon,
on the ground that this was matter
of the people of the United States In
the territory of Utah and not the
United States, decided against the de-
fense. On the opening of the trial,
the first witness called was the true
wife. She testified positively the CO.
habitatiOn OF her husband with two
other women in her house, continu-
ously. Tomorrow the daughter now
married will take the witness stand.
The indictment in this case was
brought under the Utah statue in
relation to crimes and punishment,

The Church In the SOHth-The Bishops to
Publish Pastoral Letter

BALTIMoRE, October 20.-In the
Episcopal convention to-day the COM
mittee on the church reported that the
exemption of the church from loss Of
her fathers was a matter of thankful
ness. The church is making steady
progress except in sections OF the
South where the effects Of the war had
weakened it, Charitable institutions
are everywhere on the increase. The
church was more united now than
ever. but the discipline was not in as
GOOD q condition as it should be. The
Committee recommended the trans
mission Of the report to the house OF
bishops, with q request that the bish-
ops prepare and publish pastoral
letter 20 the church.
