New YORK, July 1O.-The Western
Division of the Western North Carolina
Railroad Company are bringing suit in
the Supreme Court. against $. W, Hop
kins & Co., to recover S. 100000 on an ac-
cepted order. The suit grew out OF the IN
surfing of S4O00.OOO of bonds of the State
of n ORTIZ Carolina to the plaintiff, Geo.
w. Simpson, WHO was President of the
Company at that time, and Milton 5. Lit
,tlefield., 1t is alleged that the, bonds are
in this city. and with somewhat over a
million of dollars of proceeds and bought
bonds of some Florida Railroad Company,
which were afterwards consolidated and
in which the Florida Legislature offered
State bonds in exchange for the first mort
gage bonds of the consolidated company
These Florida bonds were sent here to
Hopkins & Co., for sale. The State of
North Carolina, however, appointed COM
missioner to examine into what had been
done with the bonds of the North Caro-
LIMA Railroad Company, and it is alleged,
under threat of criminal prosecution, that
Simpson and Littlefield gave an order for
eight hundred thousand to zfaver the
North Carolina Railroad and offered to
furnish iron for fifty-three miles of that
Road.
His order Hopkins & Co. accepted but
they afterwards declinedto pay it; where
upon Sydney w. Hopkins was arrested
and held to bail in bond of $500, 900. a
motion was made to vacate the order of
arrest. 1t was argued by the defense that
Swepson & Littlefield had no right to pay
their own private debts to the North Caro-
lima Road with the proceeds of the sale of
bonds issued to the Florida Railroad Conn
pany for special purpose. The plaintiffs
argued that, by accepting the order, the
defendants were not in a position to ques-
ton the plaintiffs rsght to the road.
On motion, the decision was reserved.

Yours Respectively,

To Mr. SAVOY we would say that this is
about the poorest place for doctors in the
world, but good place for the industrious
mechanic or farmer, or the energetic CAPT.
talist Speaking of ague, we have no
doubt there are hundreds of adult persons
in the various counties of East Tennessee
who have never witnessed case of ague
in their lives. Such disease is exceed
ingly rare A man with the ague here
would be regarded as something outside
of the regular and natural order of things,
and looked upon as an object of curiosity.
You say, Mr.. SAVOY, that 95 out of every
100 children in your part of the country
have had ague. We will say that we have
no idea that there are five children out of
every one hundred in this part of the
country who have ever seen a case of ague.
So much for that. You want to know
if fruit raising will pay in the vicinity
of Knoxville. We answer, yes. There
is no doubt of it. Fruit raising
has never been thoroughly tried here, but
it has been tested far enough to warrant
us in saying it will pay. We have fine
peaches, apples, pears, strawberries, grapes,
&C., and yet they have never received any
thing like the attention which is bestowed
upon orchards in the Northern and East
ern States. Last spring our markets were
| we'll supplied with the finest Strawberries.
They sold at high figures throughout the
season, and We're source of profit to those
engaged in their culture. We have never
heard doubt expressed as regards the adj
vantages presented by our soi.and climate
| for raising fruits -.E

We learn that lady living on State street
has lately become insane, and by means of her
mad freaks is source of much trouble to her
friends and neighbors. Her language is of a
most violent and unpleasant characters Sunday
streets in an unsightly dress, and was refrained
from doing so and taken homo only after con-
siderable effort on the part of some persons who
were near by. Her sad condition is thought by
some to be result of over-eXertion in dancing
at recent Fourth of July picnic. If as is said,
she has no one to care for her buta sister, it
might be well for some charitably disposed per
sons to interpose their kind offices.
