Reading for the Long Winter Even
ings.


Such is ''Belden, the White Chief; or
Twelve Years Among the Wild Indians of
the Plains, volume of 513 pages, ele-
gantly illustrated with twenty three full
page engravings. 1t is from the diaries
and manuscripts of George P. Belden, for
merly of New Philadelphia, Ohio, arranged
and rewritten by Gen. James S. Brisbon,
of the United States army. The work is
an octave edition, neatly printed on fine
tinted paper, and bound in the best Eng
fish morocco cloth, with gilt designs on the
back and both sides. This is a work de-
scriptive of Indian life on the Plains, COM
piled from the diaries of George P. Belden,
the adventurous white chief, soldier, hun
ter, trspper and guide, well known on the
frontier. The type, press work and illustra-
tons are of the highest character, and the
tinted paper and substantial binding set all
off to good advantage. The book abounds
in thrilling incident and vivid description,
and has been read with an interest sus-
tanned to the close. Aside from the many
"hair breadth scapes" recounted, much
valuable information is given concerning
Indian characters and customs. The &C.
currences are all actual, and we realize in
the perusal that ''truth is stranger than
fiction" E. F. Vent, Cincinnati, is the
publisher of the work, which is gotten up
in the highest style of the art. Mr.. w. G.
Price, the blind book seller, is the agent
for this city, and the work can be pro-
cured only through him.
From the same publisher we have re-
ceived ''Satan in Society" by physician.

Tobacco I'm Europe.

The circular of John Stewart Oxley
Co., dated London, Jan. 8, says:
Referring to our circular of 1st ult., we
have again to report a month of extreme
dullness and inactivity in this tobacco
market, with sales of all descriptions esti-
mated at barely 300 hhds.
The course of the trade during the
twelve months just ended has not been
agitated by any material fuctuation in
values, nor have the markets been en-
Iivened by any extraneous business arising
from speculation.
A quiet steady demand for home trade
has existed throughout the year, and ow-
ing to the unusual scarcity of dry leaf, has
been chiefly supplied by steamed tobacco,
the stock Of which in London and Liver
pool at 10, 643 hhds., shows falling off of
over 1000 hhds. as compared with the
total on Jan. 1, 1870. Former quotations
are repeated as those nominally current;
it must be remarked however, that as far
as new stripes arc concerned, the value of
most qualities has yet to be practically
tested by actual sales.

THE ACCIDENT ON THE NASH
WILLIE AND CHATTANOOGA
RAILROAD.

Caused by a Rail Being Placed ON
the Track-A Marrow Escnpe from
a Dreadful Calamify-s5O0 Offered
for the Apprehension OF the Sc0un-
drels.
The accident, briefly mentioned in yes
terdays's paper as having occurred on the
Chattanooga road came very near being a
calamity the character of which would
have sent the cold chills over one
at its recital. As the northern
bound passenger train was within
one and-a-half miles, of Bass sta
ton, in Alabama, at II o'clock on Tuesday
night, the engine struck something of a
very solid character and jumped the track,
while running at good speed. The CON
cussion was fearful and was distinctly heard
at the station; the first thought of all on
board was that they were TO be smashed to
pieces. Fortunately, the track was in
prime condition, and the heavy new oak
ties, of unusual length, caught and stopped
the heavy engine before it went headlong
down the high embankment on either side.
Besides the track being at high elevation
at that point, there was deep pond of
water on each side, and had the engine not
have been stopped by the strong ties, the
whole train would have been precipicated
into suffocating mud pond. Upon exa-
mination, after the run-off, it was discover
ed that rail had been run through be-
tween the ties and underneath one of the
iron rails, where it was made very firm,
and allowed to project in a slanting man
ner across the track, the other
end being at an elevation of a
couple of feet from the ground; in or
der to make it effective beyond doubt,
the scoundrels had taken a heavy billet of
wood and placed one end against a ii g,
the other end bracing against the slanting
raj, SO as to make it solid as q rock, and
the whole arrangement made 80 as to
throw the train of sideways into the pond
below. 1t was afterwards learned that
soon after the accident two men were seen
coming into the village of Bass Station
from the direction of the train, but very
soon disappeared again, and it is presumed
that they were the parties who did the
mischief, and had disappeared in the ada
cent forest, since which time they have
not been seen. The officers of the road
offer $500 for the apprehension of the vii
lains. The train consisted of five passen-
ger coaches, two baggage cars and the en-
CINE, and there were on board over hun
bred and fifty men, women and children,
mostly emigrants from East Tennessee on
their way to Memphis. Verify, men who
could do such deed as was perpetrated in
this instance, deserve hanging without
Judge or jury, and that their plans met
with such fortunate failure, is a subject
OF general congratulation, and a result at
which all good men feel deYoutlY thankful.

The population of Tennessee according
TO as correct statements as the census Ia
kers could arrive at, is 1,257, 983. In 1850
it was T,109,S O1. This makes an increase
in the population of our State of 14S, 1872
since the last census, which, taking the
war an d all of its terrific and horriic con-
comitallts into the account, is a most graft
flying increase.

HORRIBLE MURDER IN DeKALB
COUNTY.
A Man Comes 10 Nashville on a Raft
His Wife Murdered in His Alb
samoa


His Wife Murdered in His Alb
senCe.
A correspondent from Smithville, De-
kalb county, furnishes us with the particu-
lars of horrible murder in that county
on the night of the 10Th January. A man
named John Preswood went to the house
of James Billings about midnight, and
made an attempt to enter. Mrs. Billings
resisted for time, but was finally over
powered. As soon as he effected an en-
trance, PreswOod killed Mrs. Billings with
an axe, and also wounded a little daughter,
aged about ID years, whose person it is
supposed he attempted to violate. Mr..
Billings was absent from home, having
started several days previous On raft for
Nashville. Preswood was Immediately af-
forwards arrested. arraigned before Justice
Judkins, found guilty, and committed to
the DeKalb county jail to await trial by
jury at the next term of the Circuit Court.
MIR. Billings is supposed to be in this city
at the present time, and will be little pre-
pared for the shock that awaits him.
