GALVANIZED WATER PIPEs.-There is
much Importance to the following commun-
icaton to the Free Press, by Prof. Collier of
upon galvanized iron pipes. A emulation
of poison, to find its way into the system,
more or less, wherever these pipes are used,
is most directly pointed out, for it is to be
presumed that water in other localities is
just as susceptible to this influence as in Bur
lington. There are things enough adu!ter-
ated already, which come into common use,
and let US keep the water pure if possible.
The following is the statement

Daring Robbery.

On Thursday evening n most daring robbery
was perpctrated near the water tank on the
Knoxville and Kentucky Railroad, about
mile from town, upon colored woman, who
was returning to her home with u basket filed
with unmade garments. She was halted by four
men, three white and one black. one Of whom
held q pistol to her head while the others
proceeded TO search her, which they did in the
most thorough manner, even pulling off her
stockings The negro was fearful of being
identified and told the woman, gratuiously,
that he was a white man blacied, but this did
not mislead her

when the rain drives them TO some farmers

bonds, the most of whom have but precarious
mode of ekng out their debased and miserable
existence.
Thepolice force is too small to attempt to put
a stop to these outrages and thefts, but strong

Our acquaintance with the deceased COM
menced in the stormy period of 1868, around
Murlreesboro after the bloody battle of Stone
River. He was then Commissary of the LIST
Brigade, I'd Division, 14th Army Corps. BY
his energy and attention TO duty, many a soldier
boy was kept from suffering for the want of
"hard-tack"
He remained connected with the Tennessee
Brigade as it was known then, until in 1864,
when he was appointed by Colonel afterwards
General Cooper, Captain of Company G., 9Th
Tennessee Volunteer Infantry, and participated
in the exciting scenes OF the Georgia campaign,
rendering efficient service. In August of 1864
he rendered his resignation, which was accepted,
and we saw no more of him, until we met him
in April, 1865, at Nashville, when we were to
be mustered out of the United States service, at
the close of the war, he being prominent mem

We have given the facts in the case Of Alfred
Deyers, for whom petition Of haJeas corpus
was granted by Judge Trigg. The argument in
the case by GOV. Foote and Attorney General
Hcskcll was exhaustive, and very able. Judge
held that the trial ofthe accused before tho Mil
itary Commission at Nashville during the war
was valid and conclusive, and that the State
Courts had no right to hold his life again in per-
il for the same offence, He snid chat ut the time
Devers was tried at Nashville the State Courts
were disorganized and the laws silent, and the
tribunal before which he appeared the only ono
prepared to hear his case. The first trial being
disposed of, he thought there was nothing for
him to do but to discharge the prisoner. He
thought however, that the prisoner should be
held for the costs, until they are secured. Gov.
Focte represented that the young man Lad no
friends and could not secure them.
