MORE MURDER.
4 BrOthCr-in-Law Cuts the Heart of An
other in Two.


Between the hours of and o'clock, on
Saturday night last n fatal tragedy was
enacted in the suburbs of HOustOnvllle,
Lincoln county, Kentucky, between two
brothers-in-law, named respectively Mike
Ceilings and Matt Cullen, contractors on
new turnpike from Stamford to Houston
vile. In company with another man by
the name of Moore, they went to a point
on the new turnpike to decide as to the
future work. Upon returning, the party
stopped at little grog-shop near the linn
its of HOustOnville, where they imbibed
rather freely of bad whisky, and soon after
leaving this place Ceilings and Cullen en-
gagged in dispute, which came to blows,
and this resulted in Ceilings thrusting Il
huge knife into Cullen's chest, thence
with side slash cut the heart in twain.
Moore, the only witness to the tragedy, on
viewing the dead body of Cullen, went to
town to give information. After doing
which, the Sheriff summoned a posse of
men, who visited the scene and found Col
lings down upon his knees over the body
of his victim, weeping at the fearful con-
sequence of a sudden passion. The MUIR
derer was arrested and placed in Jail at
Stamford The remains of the murdered
man were carefully embalmed and yester-
day morning were brought from Stamford
TO Lebanon, where they will be buried.
His family are residents of that city. The
parties to this tragedy are both spoken of
in terms of praise, with the exception only
of their drinking proclivities, which they
INDUCED whenever opportunity and time
allowed. Both were men of family .-COU-

The Trade Of Knoxville.

II. V. r., of the Commercial, writing
from Williamsburg, Whitley county, Ken
lucky, speaks of the trade of Knoxville
thus:
If | was in a condition to be astonished
at anything, it would be at the trade which
Knoxville draws from this region of coun
try. Most of the trade from Whitley coun-
ty goes to Knoxville, as does the trade of
nearly, if not quite, every Tennessee county
or town l have passed through, going or
coming. l remember to have passed Il
country store thirty-siX miles above Chat
tanoOga, the proprietor of which told me
that he bought all his goods in Knoxville,
and shipped them around through Chatta-
nooga. Every county by which | have
passed, from there here, gets its supplies
from the same place. Fully half the trade
from this town goes to Knoxville. ] was
told, and upon further inquiry found it to
Zoe so, that every merchant in this place
trades in Knoxville and Louisville, and
not one i'm Cincinnati, although three years
ago Cincinnati enjoyed q monopoly of the
trade from here. Now she gets none. The
reason given me for this was that "Cin-
cinnati is such an unhandy place to get TO. -
asked merchant who buys both in
Louisville and Knoxville, how the two
markets would compare. He replied that
he "could findalittle or no difference be-
tween them. One is about as good as the
other" This is good joke on Louisville.

CLOVER

We publish below extracts from letter
written by Capt. Charles Graves, of ROME,
Ga to his brother, Oscar Graves, residing
at Social Circle, giving his experience as
to the comparative value of clover and
cotton raising. 1t will be seen from CapA
Graves letter that the profit from forty
acres of the most worn land devoted to
clover was $1,000 more than thatrealized
from fifty-five acres of the best land on
the place planted in cottOn-independen
of the benefit derived from pasturage.
Seventy dollars covered the cost of max
ing the clover and putting it away In the
shed-while 1t required the greater part
of the time of five hands and four mules,
besides hired labor, to make the 50, 900
worth of cotton and prepare it for mar
ket. The same quantity of clover grown
here would have been worth 81, 900 more
than the price a! which Capt. Graves val
ued his crop.
The stiff prairie lands in the peighbOr-
ing are well adapted to the growth. of
clover. Its production upon these lands
is not now an experiment. II has been
tried very successfully and satisfactorily
in former days. We have seen as hne
clover growing on them as we ever saw
in Virginia or North Carolina. Hundreds
of acres of these valuable lands are idle
and unproductive. We call the attention
of their owners to Capt. Graves letter,
and suggest that the cultivation of clover
would open new source of profit to them
and great benefit to the country. That
will be a good day for the country at
large which sees broad acres of these
rich lands well set in clover and no Ion
ger. devoted to cotton. We will only add
that Capt. Graves is vouched for by a
gentleman in this community who knows
him well. His statements may be relied
upon. We copy from the Southern Gil.

Jones, believe it was, once said of old
Lincoln) have concluded to drop you a
line or so.
On last Monday, it being quarterly
court day, we had the pleasure of visit
from Col. Killebrew. The Colonel is a
man of fine practical sense, and told US
something of what he knows about farm
ing. His speech has been the subject of
general remark since. He is winning
golden opinions from the masses. We
hope to meet him here again soon. also
had the pleasure of Caeeting my old friend,
Col. Griffith, who is still alive and kick
ing, working to extend the circulation of
the Peoples Paper. without which
don't see how we would get along. Our
farmers are all busy getting in their crops.
l think they have pretty generally con
cluded to take the crown off the head of
King Cotton ard place on the head of
King Clover. We can't afford to make
cotton. If we do, in twenty years our
lands will be worn out, and we
will have no money to buy more.
We must raise grain and grass and feed
il to our stock, and make manure for our
land. And as the time for planting corn
is upon us, will suggest to the readers
of your valuable paper a mode of plant
ing that has proved very successful with
myself:
Take good two-horse turn pillow, and
bed out as for cotton, being careful to
have all stubble, grass seed, etc., buried
in the bed. That gives you clean mid
die. Then take q long bull-tongue plow
and run furrow In the middle or wa
ter furrow. Now drop your seed and
cover with light furrow, being caro-
full not to touch the bed. When the
corn is about to come up, throB
another furrow on it and harrow off. If
the work is properly done your corn will
need nothing more until it is large enough
to thin-Yhen / again run the bull
tongue as close as possible to the corn,
still not touching the bed, and thin out.
When your corn again needs work
commence throwing your bed to the
roots, AID by the time your crop is laid
by your land is level, as it should be-
think have made better crops in this
way, with less work, than any other plan
have tried. I would advise a trial ct
least on small scale, particularly for
late planting.
had almsst forgotten to tell you that
at the conclusion of Col. Killebrew's
speech we organized Farmers Club,
which hope will stir up all of US to do
better.

FARM AND GARDEN.
SUPPORTING TOMATO VINE,


This popular vegetable can be made to
bear much longer and yield much better
fruit by having them properly supported,
30 that the sunlight and sir may pass
freely between and amongst the vines.
Tomato plants should be set out in rows
at least six feet apart and the plants four
feet apart in the row. The rows should
run north and south, SO as to admit the
air; and after the tomatoes have grown a
foot in length let four scantling or poles
six feet in length be set up around the
plant and hoops from an old barrel be nailed
to them one foot apart. This not only
forms good trellis, but makes hand
some frame, and the tomatoes will grow
and bear well until frost. We have
known the frames made ten feet high and
the vines run to the top. When stuck
with brush the brush is apt to give way
in wet weather and let the vines fall to
the ground

over the poorest clover field next year.
l am satisfied from my own
experience in clover raising that / can
make three hundred tons every year on
the bottom land. The premium acre
grew on land below the average cotton,
and it was not the best clover had, and
it made three tOns-with over one half
ton on the ground which could not be
saved. The whole "middle field" and
that you know is the poorest bottom
field, averaged over two tons per acre.

Letter from NJ. Burns, Esq.

Letter from u huTn6s ESqs
From the Washington Patriot, April II.
NASHVILLE, April s, 1e71.-Hon. W.
". Yaughan:-Dear Sir: Yours of the
29jh of March was received, asking re-
plies to the following interrogstories;
'First. If offenses which are political
in their nature are being committed
against the laws of the State and United
States?
'Sccond. Whether or not your State
laws are not enforced; and, if so, are
they competent to suppress crime and
maintain order2"
In answer to your arst question, l beg
to say that in the State of Tennessee
am not aware that single case of dis
t,.rbapce has occurred that can be traced
to a political basis. There are some
crimes committed, but have their origin
in causes other than politics; and l en-
phatically say that there isnO State in the
Union more peaceable than Tennessee
This opinion is based upon my knowl-
edge of our State. 1t is one of the frail-
ties of human nature that crime to some
extent exists among the very best regu-
ulated communities, and ours will COM
pare favorably with any of them.
In answer to your second question /
reply, that our State laws are enforced
with as much rigor as they are in other
States, and that the State officers are COM
pelapt to enforce the laws of the State,
and they 40 it. have not heard of a
single opposition to the enforcement of
State authority, or that of the United
States, unless the makers of whisky, who
sometimes try to evade the revenue COM
missioGers. If this be considered hostili-
ty 70 the United States, in some cases we
must plead guilty.
In reading newspapers, / End the same
evasiOns are attempted in New York and
Ohio, and other States. As you are
a,-aTe, l would be the last man in the
State to paiiiste crime or screen offenders.
This persistent cry of disturbances in the
South is operating very much against the
material interest of the whole country.
Please excuse these loosely-throWn- to-
gether words, as write in haste.
Yours, very respectfully,
nj. BURNS.

POPULATION OF .sHELBYvILLE.

SHBLBYvIILR, TENN, April Is, ISL
In your issue of yesterday, we read the
letter of Col Kllebrew, giving an account
of his visit 10 our town on the 9Th inst,
in which he speaks in a very compliment
airy manner of our place, people and in
stitutions. OF course we are gratified at
such fattering notices and trust we merit
them, and feel anxious TO be thought well
of by our neighbors, The point ! wish
TO get at is that Col. Killebrew states the
population of Shelbyville is 5000. He
was told this, and this is the report, be-
Eeye. of the census taker, and means all
he enumerated within the corporate lin
its. Ircluding "North Shelbyville" and
1Csmp White" we have population of
at least $500, and believe 5000. Our
notions are too big to allow our popula-
tion to be understood abroad at one-third
less than its true number. Hope Col.
Kilebrew may visit us again and see more
