10 Every Soldier Who WorthfIy Wore
the Gray.

The hrst Confederate soldier killed In
the war between the States wss Henry
Wyatt, of North Carolina, who fell at
Bethel, and is buried in Hollywood Gem
etery, at Richmond, Virginia. A brief
inscription on his tombstone, telling the
eventful history, attracts the attention of
every visitor to the cemetery; and on Me-
mortal day no Confederate grave Is more
lavishly decorated than that of young
Wyatt. The dead son is remembered and
honored, while the living father is ne
elected or forgotten.
John Wyatt, the father Of Henry Wyatt,
is now in the poor-house In Pitt county,
North Carolina. The boy, who would
have been the prop of his old age,s shed his
blood for US in the first battle OF the war,
and 1t rests with his surviving comrades
to save the patriot father from further hui
initiation. A trihing contribution from
the Confederate soldiers will make 8 ven
cradle old man comfortable for the rest of
his days, and We sincerely hope that ev-
cry Southerner, who wore the gray with
honor, will send a few pence for the father
of Henry Wyatt, to Captain W. J. Nc
Kerall, Of Marion, South Carolina, who
kindly volunteered to forward all
donations to their destination.

ARTILLERY PRACTICE ON A STEER.

Oh1cer Shelby had a curious adventure
last night in South Memphis. Being out
hunting for q thief who had stolen two
gold rings, four sheets, q wash basin and
a tooth. brush which was highly valued,
he happened to come across three negroes
In a dark alley cutting a hog which they
had killed he wanted to surround
all of them. but they would not
consent to the arrangement. They
fed. He cried out "halti" through
the lonely midnight gloom, they still ran.
He thought, however, that one of them
stood still, and was preparing to fire at
him. Not being ambitious to become the
victim of irresistible impulse, he pulled
out his trusty fifteen shooter and banged
away for half a minute. He was aston
ished that no reply came. He concluded
to walk up to the object that thus stolidly
withstoOd his bOmbsrdment, and
was gratihed to find that it was a sick,
Texan steer whose frontal bone was strong
enough to resist the heaviest artillery.
The mig however was found behind the
breast work and surrendered at discre.
ton. The hog, he said, belonged to
him, and that the animal was dying Of
some complaint and they wished to make
pork of him for the Beale street market
this evening.

WRIGHT.
A Shield 70 Turn the Arrows or Public
Dfspleasurs.

Editors APpedL-I was please to read In
your psper Of yesterday the very timely
vindication of our sheriff nom the severe
censur9 which some seem disposed to visit
upon him for the recent improprieties in
connection with the county jail.
TIE say the least of it, it would surely be
very uncharitable to turn the current of
popular prejudice against General Wright
under the existing circumstances Of this
case.
When General Wright left the CITY. it
was to bear an invalid wife TO the health
ful hills of Middle Tennssses with the
hope that she would thereby be restored.
He only expected to be absent long
enough to 90 there and return. Instead
of Improvement, however, deep-seatsd
disease and the fatigue Of travel were too
much, and helpless p~rostration was the
result. Added to this, came the sudden
sickness Of his children with scarlet fever.
In a word. General Wright eoaLd not leave
q dying a0Je, and children stricken down
with a malignant malady. This will be
the verdict Of every husband and father,
When the sheriff Of Shelby county left
here, capable deputies and trustworthy
jsiloTa were in charge.
As an evidence that no undue privileges
AVE ever been allowed prisoners by Gen
eral Wright himself, 1t Is a fact that when
Van Roberts desired to leave the jail to
visit a dying wife, General Wright would
not MOI did not suffer him to do so until
first securing the order of the Judge Of
the court himself How unjust, then, to
visit the bolts of popular dfspIeRsure
against him for the improprieties of those
in whom he, as well as the public at
large, had the most implicit confdence2
I have said this much In Endorsement of
your defense of an absent friend, beIiey-
ing that it is the sentiment Of g large ma
jOrity of q charitable and right minded
community. JUSTICE.

'BIckerstan rises to explain
And tells q simple tale;
So reads the double-leaded head
OF "doings at our Jail"

The gates Of prison open wide
And Bhootists have Q tdre.
The murderer stalks abroad in glee,
Far from the vile iail's tCiIes.
"And sports awhile" says Mickey Free,

The lyncher, coward, stink

DANGEROUS
A Little Boy Falls from a Tree and
Cracks His skull.

Yesterday afternoon, between 4 and 5
O'Clock, some boys went down Main street
on a little larking expedition. Maurice
Cohen, son of Martin Cohen, was among
them. They stationed themselves at the
corner of Linden and Main streets.
Young Cohen went up On a tree to pick
nuts. He had succeeded in attaining an
elevation of thirty feet or over, and was in
a fair way of supplying the party with
nuts, when he unfortunately missed his
hold n fell head foremost on a pile Of
coal that had been dumped underneath q
short time before. He was rendered in
sensible by the fall. He was taken up
shortly after b accident, and taken to
his parents house, No. 800 Main street,
where he received prompt surgical stten-
ton. 1t was found that the skull was
cracked, and the doctors gave it as their
opinion that the boy could not live long.
He is about ten years old, and was a
bri ght, sffsble boy.
DR.. W. Z Rogers, at a later hour in the
evening, performed 3 surgical operation
on the boys head. That nice perform
ance called "trepanning'' was successful
ly accomplished. A large piece OF the
was cut out where 1t had been
crushed down upon the brain. and thGs
saved he boy from a more sudden death.
About sspoOnful of brains oossd out Of
the aperture. The boy can hardly live.

GOLD AND o SOLD.
DeIinquene Tennessee Railroads Sold
The Commissioner Refuse to
C0n6rm the Sale.

A large crowd Of capitalists and rep
resentetives of railroads, says the Nash
Vile Bonner of Thursday, attended the
sale of delinquent railroads on the east
ern side Of the capital at noon yesterday.
The Knoxville and Charleston railroad
was knocked done by the suctionesr,
Dolan, tOthe Blue Ridge railroad, at SIS, 600:
the Rogersville and Jefferson to the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad
at $4,000; the Knoxville and kentucky
to W. B. Johnston and others at $500. 600;
and Western and North Carolina to E.,
Simerlv, on behalf of the stockholders,
st S12,500.
Some very spirited bidding occurred be-
tween W. B. Johnston, OF Macon, and
J. r. James, of Atlanta, for the Knox
vile and Kentucky railroad, there being
ten bids ranging from 10000 to $500, 900
1t was announced that the Nashville and
Northwestern railroad would probably be
sold at 2 pm, but pon the arrival of
that hour it was determined by the COM
missioners to postpone the hour to 8 D M,
to-day, with the intimation that it might
be sold at that hour. The sale we under
stand, depends upon the withdraw of
the c~ertiorGTi and sapersededs granted TO
Davidson county, which Is intimated as
probable.
After the sale had taken place the COM
missioners retired to the comptroIlerja
Office, and after consultation refused to
confirm the sale of the roads mentioned.
on account of the poor prices obtained.
A modified decree was entered in The
chancery court relative TO the MsmDhis.
GAINESVILLE and Louisville railroad, In
which several points Objectionable to the
purchaser of that road (the Louisville and
Nashville railroad) are s~quitably settled.
The result will be that the purchaser will
turn over to the comptroller q, zoo, 00o, the
minimum price fixed.

WAsHINeToN, September %, 1871.
The lowest pressure, which was Thurs
day afternoon west and possibly north
west of Minnesota, has moved eastward
to Lake Superior, and the barometer has
fallen very rapidly north of the Ohio val
ley. The highest pressure is central over
Maryland and New Jersey and eastward.
A compsrati yely low barometer continues
In Southern Florida, with light northess-
terly winds. Brisk south and southwest
winds rave extended from Minnesota and
Wisconsin southeast into Illinois and east
to Lake Huron. Clear weather has pre-
vailed very generally In the Atlantic and
Gulf States and on the lakes. Reports
from Upper Michigan are not yet received.
Haze and smoke prevail from Illinois TO
Minnesota. The low pressure In the
northwest will probably extend eastward
rapidly, with brisk southwest winds on
the lakes, but the smoky haze attending
1t prevents extensive rains In those re-
gions. A falling barometer, with increas-
Ing cloudiness and essterly winds, are
probable on Saturday along the Atlantic
coast, and pleasant weather In the Gulf
States.

FROM MR. IoHNL I. b. TAYLOR.

~ nav @-- - 50 n a1hH
Editors APpeGt-In your issue Of this
morning there appears q communication
signed J. g.. Cairns, Secretary Board Of
Education, and written under the direc-
ton Of Mr.. Charles KOrtrechs. In this
communication reference is made to the
fact that the Superintendent had recon-
mended the adoption of sn elementary
grammar In the primary grades. I desire
simplyto state that the Superintendent is
merely the executive officer of the Board
of Education; that on the occasion re-
ferred to he recommended the adoption of
an elementary grammar by the Board;
that this suggestion, though respectfully
received, was not adopted. It was not
adopted, because reported upon adversely
by the committee OF textbooks, the re-
port of this committee being based upon
the experience of nearly all the 6rst-class
public schools in the Emitted States and
Canada, to wit: that it Is worse than folly
to attempt anything more than orRl in
structiOn in grammar in the lower grades.
As an appeal has been made from the ac-
ton of the Board by Mr.. Rortreeht 20 the
public, I have been anxious to show to all
parties interested that the action of the
Board in this matter has not been gaken
hastily or without full elaboration and
that 1t Is in accordance with the views of
the most experienced teacher in this
country.
In conclusion, I am fully satisfied that
the Superintendent would never have
recommended such a measure II he had
been properly informed upon the subject.
