The Coal Question.

The river was rising throughout the en-
tire day yesterday, and according to the
marks here it will only require few inches
more rise TO enable the tow-boat Philips
to start out from the Poplar Mountain
Mines. The officers of the Ella Hughes
which arrived yesterday, however, report
the river declining above, and in conse-
quence, the coal fleet may not be able to
get over the falls. The stage of the river
to-day Will probably determine when we
may expect coal from the Poplar Mountain
mines.
The information from the Sewanee
Mines is hopeful, and supply from that
point may be expected soon. We give be-
low the following dispach received from
Col. A. s. Colyar:
To the Editors of the Union and American:
TRACY CRY, Jan. 19.-An assault was
made to-day on the guards and conyicts To
prevent the convicts from working. We
have arrested the leaders. The conyicts
are now all at work, doing well. The
strike is failure, and we will soon be
doing full work. Every possible exertior
will be made to supply Nashville with coal

sent there seems TO be no danger of freez-

had several weeks ago, there would Ger
tainly be great suffering.

''Cotton Merchants, Farmers and
City Weighers.o

city Wefghers.o
One of our tanning friends sends us the
following for publication. In regard to
his complaint about a city weigher, we
know nothing, but with reference TO
false packed cotton, we can say from obser-
walton that mixing has been done in some
instances that could have been avoided by
the ginner or ''any other man" We agree
with our correspondent that the last pick
ing is often mixed, but ''mixing in" occa-
sionaliy stick of wood, or a good size
stone is inexcusable, not to say anything
about an outside layer of fine cotton, and
the entire center made up of dog tail !:
To the Editors of the Union and American:
FAYETTEVILLE, Jan. IS, 1S71.-Last win
ter, believe it was, the cotton merchants
of Nashville complained that there had
heen shipped to them large quantities of
''false packed cotton" They deemed it
proper to meet and pass resolutions on the
subject, and their action was published to
the world through your city papers. The
term ''false packed cotton" implies that
there was fraud in the packing. That
there was great deal of mixed cotton We
do not deny, but it was, in our opinion,
packed Just as it came from the ''pick-
room," and it went into the pick room
Just as it came from the field. The small
renter or planter frequently makes only
two, three or four bales, and when he gets it
all picked he carries it to the gin and
il is all ginned at one time, and
baled at one time. The last picking
in this way is often mixed with the first
aud it is unavoidable, but there is no
fraud in the packing.
There is, however, grievance of which
the farmers complain, and which they
think ought to be corrected. 1t is not un-
usual for cotton shipped from depots less
than one hundred miles from Nashville to
lose fifteen and twenty pounds per bale in
the weights as given in the return of sales.
Cotton weighed here on the depot scales
and sold the next day in Nashville scarcely
ever loses less than ten pounds per bale,
yet goods shipped from Nashville and re-
weighed here always hold out in weights.
Why is this? The merchant says your cot
ton is weighed by the city weigher. Where
is the necessity of city weigher? If 1
buy clover seed in Nashville, is the city
weigher called upon to weigh it? Not at
all, and get all that pay for.
Why is cotton not sold the same way?
Why employ one man to weigh all the cot
ton that is sold in Nashville? Twice lately
have we known a difference of over one
hundred pounds in one bale of cotton.
The simplest farmer can see that under the
system in vogue at Nashville, the large
buyer has a great advantage over the small
seller. In conclusion, can you tell lis the
necessity or advantage of city weigher

ssTbe House We Live Ino

Space forbids our speaking Of the bones, mus
cles. lungs, brain, nerves, skin, etc. But conzide
for moment that the average amount Of blood in
an adult is thirty pounds, about onehfth Of the
body's weight At each beat OF the heart ~
ounces Of blood are thrown out Of IL; one hundred
and seventy-ive ounces per minute; six hundred
and ffty-six pounds per hour; seven and three
fourth tons Fer day. All the blood In the body
passes through the heart in three minutes and dis
tributes the nutritive principle to every texture
and the source Of every secretion. Now, II the
blood is weak and impure, the danger Of mourning
disease is imminent This Is certain to be It's con-
dition, more or less, at this season Of the year.
And Just here We are admonished Of the superior
advantages Of MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS for
cleansing and renovating the blood. This it viii
always do, and also prevent any disease arising
from impure blood, because it removes the cAuse.
Begin at once to purity your blood with this great
tonic, and thus ward of disease before It en-
trenches itself in your system.

Many of the papers over the country are
mourning the death of the above named
gentleman, and giving most glowing eulo-
gies upon his life and character We rejoice
that these obituaries are premature, bot it
is first rate thing to allow an impression
TO get abroad that a man is dead if it would
always result in such praises. Mr.. Griffith
is in excellent health, but we doubt not
appreciates the many compliments which
his supposed death has called forth. -

A Great Mouth for COrFee

On the morning train, yesterday, on the
Nashville and Chattanooga Road, an old
gentleman came in from Crow Creek Bot
tom, to see the sights of a fashionable city
and spend few days, between hay and
grass" he said he was in his ninety third
year, and although he was quite vigorous,
still his statement was reasonable. The
old gentleman being somewhat hungry,
stepped up 10 the very fiRe restaurant of
our friend Mr.. Egan, located in the depot,
and asked for a cup of coffee and a sand
wich. Mr., Z. handed out a cup of his
best Mocha and lucious sandwich, both of
which the old gentlemen declared were the
very best articles of the kind he had ever
ate or drank in his whole life. He liked
them so well that he concluded to take a
second round, and the longer be ate and
drank, the louder was he in his praise of
their excellent quality, until he had eaten
nine full-siZed sandwiches and drank nine
full cups of coffee. If this don't show a
remarkably vigorous appetite for a CEN
tsnnarian, then we are mistaken, that's all.
