New Jersey, and reported that the Pro-
fessor's fences were the boundary of the
drought. His lands were not affected by
it. This was owing to thorough drain
ing, deep tillage and the subsoil plow.
The most splendid example of the ben.
efts to be derived from deep land culture
Is that furnished by the Marques OF
Tweeddale at Yester, in East Lothian.
He came into possession of his estates
when they had been so abused that they
would not pay the cost of cultivation.
He began deep system of tillage-sub
selling, draining and green manuring, and
increased the value of his places six hun
dred per cent. in few years. An inter.
esting account of his operations has been
written by Henry Stephens, F. R. s. E.,
to whose work we shall take occasion to
refer hereafter.

During this time, Armstrong, who was
standing in front of the elder of the two
brothers, attempted to draw his revolver,
when Simmerell seized his arm and held
it until his brother came to his assistance,
and struck him on the head three times
with the pistol, when the fight ended.
The brothers then conveyed the injured
men to their home, dressed their wounds,
and sent for doctor, clearly proving in
our opinion, that they acted throughout in
self. defense, and that the wounds were not
inflicted in spirit Of malignity.
The affair is exaggerated IN the first ac-
count and throws all the blame upon the
brothers. While we think it very wrong
to resist an officer of the law, We also re-
gard it as wrong for second party to pre-
sent cooked pistol at the offenders breast
before he offers resistance, and wrong to
strike q man on the forehead with heavy
pistol because he turned i. from his broth
er's heart We think that had the officers
acted coolly and wisely no bloodshed
would have ensued. The younger Sim
merell came to this city, but as no warrant
had been issued for his arrest, he was
allowed to return to his home.
Mr.. Armstrong was seriously injured,
but hopes of his recovery are entertsined.
Mr.. Burk was not dangerously hurt.

We earnestly entreat our fellow-citi-
zens in all parts of the Union to spare no
effort to maintain peace and order, 70
carefully protect the rights OF every citl-
zen, to preserve kindly relations among
all men and to discountenance and dis
courage any violation of the rights OF
any portion Of the people secured under
the Constitution or any of its amend
ments.
Let us in conclusion earnestly beg of
YOU not to aid the present attempt of the
Radical partizans to stir up strife in the
land, to renew the issues of the war, or
to obstruct the return of peace or pros
perity to the Southern States, because
it is thus that they seek to divert the
attention of the country from the cor
ruption and extravaganza of their admin
istration of public Office, and the dam
gerous and prof1igate attempts they are
making toward the creation of a central
lied military government. In five years
of peace following war the Radical ad-
ministration have expended 81, 200, 000,-
900 for ordinary purposes alone, being
within 5000, 900, 900 of the aggregate
amount spent for the same purposes in
war and in peace during seventy-One
years preceding June 80, 1861, not in
Guiding in either case the sum paid upon
the principal or interest of the public
debt. 1t is tridIng with the
intelligence of the people for the
Redical leaders to pretend that this
vast sum. has been honestly expended.
Hundreds of millions of it have been
wantonly squandered. The expenditures
of the Government for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1851, were only $62,-
900, 900, while for precisely the same
purposes the civil list, army and navy
pensions and Indians 1854, 900, 900 were
expended duriEg the fiscal year ending
June 10, 1870. No indignation can be too
stern, and no scorn too severe for the as
sertions by interruptions Radical leaders
that the great Democratic and Conserve
tive party of the Union has or can have
any sympathy with disorders or vio-
lence in any part of the country, or in the
deprivation of any man of his rights I'M
der the Constitution. tits to protect and
perpetuate the rights which every free
man cherishes, to revive in all hearts the
feeling of friendship, affection and har-
mony which are the best guarantees of
law and order, and to throw around
the humblest citizen, wherever he may
be, the protection of these safe guards of
personal safety which are the funda-
mental laws of the land, that we invoke
the aid of all good men in the work of
peace and reconciliation. We invite their
generous cooperation irrespective of all
former differences and opinion, so that
the harsh voice of discord may be relieved;
that a new and dangerous sectional
agitation may be checked; that the
burdens of taxation, direct or indirect,
may be reduced to the lowest point con-
sistent with the good faith due every just
national obligation, and with strictly
economical administration of the Govern
ment, and that the States may be restor-
ed in their integrity and true relations to
our Federal Union.
Here follow the signatures of all the
Democratic Senators and most of the
Representatives.

THE SPARTA AFFAIR.
Another Version of the story.
The simmerelIs Act in Self, defense

Some time since there appeared in the
UNION AND AMERICAN the particulars OF an
attack made upon two United States Of
fisars by two men named Simmerell, near
Sparta, That account was obtained from
gentlemen of the Radical persuasion in
This CITY, who were the only parties that
could then give us any information what
ever. The following, taken from the
Soarta Tribune, Gan independent paper,)
gives an entirely different version:
We will now give a correct statement of
the difficulty as given to us by a prominent
lawyer of this city, who derived his in
formation from eye-witnesses;
As the correspondent says, the Simmer
ell brothers we're at work In the field, IN
their ''shirt-sleeves," with no weapons,
not even pocket-knife, about their per-
sops. Armstrong and Burke came up to
where they were, and told the elder OF the
brothers that be had a warrant for his ar
rest, and was going to have him IN Nash
vile on the following Qast) Monday. Sim
mereu asked what the nature OF the war
rant was, and on being informed, said he
had consulted several lawyers, and was
told that he could not be again arrested on
that warrant as the matter has been set
tied once. Armstrong said it made
no difference-he had the warrant
and was going to arrest him. SIM
merell said he would not be arrested. Up
on this, Burk drew a navy revolver,
cooked it, and presented it at the breast Of
the elder brother with the remark, ''You
won't, eh?" The younger Simmerell,
thinking the man was going to fire, seized
Burk's arm, jerking the pistol down. Burl
wheeled round, and releasing his arm
struck him blow on the forehead will
the pistol, making a deep cash about al
inch and half long. The two thel
clinched. and both went to the ground
Burk on top. In falling, the pistol wa
brought in such position that it lay acros
Young Simmerell's breast, and while Their
was discharged, whether accidentally o
not is not known, the powder burning hi
(Simmsrel's) breast and arm. A strus
gle then ensued, which ended in Burk &c
ting struck with the pistol six or eigl
times. which placed him h0rS du eOm6G

yet the world Is informed that this is an
outrage emanating from political hatred,
and therefore reconstruction, or a trans
fer of power from the people to Prefi-
dent, is necessary.
On this morning, old man Blythe was
found dead in the woods, having
died yesterday, and Immediately the
notes pealed over the country,

DAVIS PAIN KILLER

THIS CELEBRATED MEDICINE HAS WON
Il 8 deservedly high reputation as an slleyiAtor

purest Materials safe to keep and to use in every

persons Of sll classes, and to-day, after a public
trial OF thirty years-the average life of mAn-it
stands unrtvalled and unexcelled, spreading Its
usefulness over the wide world. Its large and in
creasing sale affords positive evidence Of its en-
during fame.
PAIN KILLER was the First, and
is the only permanent pain relieEer.
Since the Pain Killer was first introduced Snd
met with such unsurpassed sale, many Iinim ia
Beliefs, Panscess and other Remedies have

passed If you al suffering from internal pain,
