Reuiesc of the Produce Market FOR the ,ceek
ending January II, 1871


CORRECTED NJ J. W. GAUT. MARKET souARE.
KNOXVILLE. January II, ISL.
During the pest week active damand has prevail
ed for corn and oats and some inquiry has been made
for hulk meat and bacon. The general trade in pro-
duoe promises favoraby. But ono difficulty presents
Itself: Many Of our producers are in the habit Of
watching the market and they see an active de-
mand prevails for any article Of produce they at once
become Spectators. they hold for higher prices
forge ting that produce dealers have the expense of
much hard labor and at considerable outlay money
and time induced orders for produce based upon prices
before the active demand sprung up. See the result
Tho orders are either delayed filed at prices above
the views of Southern purchasers and they are dis
satisfied and withdraw their orders. Very soon we
report dull merket-no demand-and there will be
no demand again until work prices down far
below their actual value they were above under the
holding up policy. Now who Is the sufferer in the
end? Would it not be better for the farmer to get
fair market price for his prodnceto put his grain ba
con- hay and in fact everything he wishes TO SELL out
ofhis way get the money and invest It? We would
not be understood debating to the farmer much less
for him to be governed by opinions in selling his
produce to 1t is the principle we complain of. The
practice Of holding for higher prices when horo is no
reasonable probability for an advance equivalent to
the loss by depreciation of weight and tho interest on
the money, has it win continue to do depressed
trade and causeda scarcity Of money when It should bc
plenty. and nobody has made anything By it.

NORTH KNOXVILLE.

| A good attendance of the citizens of North
Knoxville assembled last night to hear the ques-
| ton of free schools discussed The meeting
was organized by calling w. P. Hayes to the
| Chair and the appointment of Rev. g. w.
Coleman as Secretary.
Col Baxter was first called Oh, who demon
strated the advantage to be derived from .sys-
TEN of free school education, as inducing iRmi-
grafton and tending to lessen crime. for while
knowledge lessensd the number Of criminals,
vice and ignorance went hand in hand. The
Coloners remarks were pointed and were loud
~ applauded.
John L. Moses, Esq, next addressed themees-
| ing, and began by ventilating the author of
Free Schools and Taxes In Wednesday s
issue of the Wig and Register. He pro-
uounced the writer bourbon-i. e., an old fogy
one who forgot nothing old and learned nosh-
ing new-and minated that he probably had
been paying his respects to liquid bourbon when
he wrote the article in question. A poor man
who wished HE children educated could not af-
ford to vote against the Observation-Disclosures
required it. In Northern State, the education
ola child cost but little over dollar per year,
on an average-here it would cost at least $50.
There was some prejudice against the education
of colored children. He had been pro-slavory
man, and all that, but if the alternate Of educa-
ting his children in the same schools with color
ed children, or that they should grow up In ig-
norance, was presented, he would, by all means,
choose the former.
Majer L. A. Gratg followed In short address,
showing that he had weighed the important
question carefully, and proved the advantages
of popular education by statistics III point.
Hon. 9. r. Temple, in his usual eloquent and
forcible manner, explained his views on this
important subject. He-loved education for
itself as much as probably any other man, and
also from q reasonable, and he might add a self
ish point Of view. The artist eye beheld the
nlagnihcence Of the rising sun, but tbs farmer
knew his beam. would make the crops grow.
He wished to see Knoxville growing. Judge
Temple scathed the opponents of free schools,
and urged the friends of the measure to vote
for it-there was strong, though secret, oppos-
ton which must be met, and, he hoped, vanquish-
ed, but they must work.
Mr.. Hayes, the Chairman, made a few re-
marks, az did also the previous speakers, but
want Of space precludes even a synopsis.
Col. John Baxter explained the provisions Of
the new State Constitution regarding separate
schools for white and colored children, and paid
handsome tribute to the fitness Of Rev G.. ".
Levere, who Is one Of the most competent col
orcd teachers in the State.
Judge Temple desired those who, by innuen-
does and anonymous contributions in the papers,
have opposed city schools, to come out openly
and say So There would be public meeting
at the court house tonight and he would argue
the subject
The meeting WAS most harmonious aud We
doubt not will be productive of results at the
polls tomorrow.

A TOUCH MULE SToRY.-There is man
out in Oregon who has mule. A few days
ago he was driving the animal across the
prairie, when it suddenly stopped. The
man left iswagon and attempted to induce
that mule to move on, but without success.
He beat it, he c0aXed It, he threatened it,
and he cursed it, but it refused to bulge.
He tied fre-crackers to its tail and exploded
them, but the mule merely turned its head
in a languid sort of way, examined the
fireworks, and calmly winked at the man.
Then the man thought perhaps the mule
had forgotten something and wanted to 60
back, so he tried to turn him around but
the mule expressed Il firm determination
not to 60 home. The man became despe.
rate, and thought he would buiidsa fire
under the mule but as fast as he would
kindle it, the mule, standing firm npon
three legs. reached over with its other leg
and kicked the flames out. Then he tore
his hair and swore-the man did-and he
rushed TO the wagon and got twelve pounds
OF gunp0Wder. and he dug q hole under
that mule and built mine. Then he cover.
ed up the charge aud Laid a sloW.match,
and stood of u little piece while he lit it.
There was afumbte, o roar, then; atterritie
explosion and, amid the cloud Of dust
anu 0pneayed rocks, the mlilo was observed |
10 hlng its bind legs In the air, and to sup! /
pora ltseH upon Its fore teet In that position
until the blast was over. When III quickly /
assumed its old attitude, and q renf1a smile |
passod oyer lts features as 1t perceived its /
~ Jlng down grooming, and cnrsing !
