HEAVY RAIN STORM NEAR THE WnIgE Sui
PHuR.-It commenced raining at the White Sui
phur at 10 o'clock on the night of the 10Th, and
continued to pour in torrents until Thursday
morning. The rain penetrated the cars, and it
took the train five hours to reach Allegheny Sta
ton, where the track was flooded by the noun
tain torrents and piled with the drift wood they
had washed down. Here there was a protracted
detention. From this point towards the mud
tunnel there were frequent but slight land Sides
and the Instructions they occasioned were with
out difficulty removed from the track
The train due here ON Thursday morning, did
not arrive until aft er o'clock of that day. G ems.

since, having been transferred to Frederick
city, was concluded on Friday, by the jury,
after an absence from the box Of one hour,
returning verdict of "not guilty" Nc

failed. The brother of the girl afterwards
met McKaig, and collision ensued, which
resulted in the killing of the seducer Nc
Kaig had three pistols on him, but did not
get chance to use them. The verdict Of
the jury was greeted with shouts and APP
plause from the immense crowd present at
the trial. The prisoner was embraced and
kissed by some of the more exeitable of the
audience. His mother and father were pres
ent at the trial, and the scene, on the an
nouncement of the verdict, is described as
very affecting. In the course of his argu-
ueht, ioi tue ueicnec, ~H'cn Is represented
as very powerful and eloquent, Hon. D. W.
VOORHEES,, of Indiana, said that there had been
but one instance in the history of 200 years,
where father, a brother, or husband had
taken the life of the murderer of the name
and fair fame of his family, had been found
guilty; and that was case in Ohio, where
the prisoner Was perjured scoundrel.
Very able counsel appeared for the de-
fence and prosecution. The McKaig family
is very wealthy. Black squite young man
and poor. Friends employed counsel for
him. McKaio was a married man

q GOING UP a srour.p


McNelly, of the Cleveland Banner, in
noticing the demise of the Knoxville
Wing and Register, gives the Press and
Herald this slap:
1T should be kept in mind that the Wig and
Register. was one Of the East Tennessee one dol
Tar publications. Furnishing a paper at one
dollar per annum brought it to grief, and all
others that are trying the experiment will, at no
distant day., 90 mp spout The sooner they
get rid of printing Office the better it will be
for them and the citizens IN the immediate
Uieinitu They never can be made self-sustain-
ing in a wooden country like this, as all will
find out who undertake it. ~ --ss--s@--7z-
We don't know, so well as McNelly does,
about when they will "go up the spout, y
but whenever they do it, it won't be alone
because they print dollar paper. From
the present temper of the Democrats here,
we are satisfied that they will not much
longer tolerate an Ex-Union Lacquer to
edit their organ. Chattanooga is too near
for Ramage to cover up his record, and the
Loyal League was too vigorous and effec
tive, as Radical organization, to allow
the Democracy, so soon after its disband-
ing, to take one of its leading and efficient
as theeditor of their central party
organ. We think McNelly will find that
this feeling will push them "up the spout
even faster than their cheap paper.

German Military Organization.

The command and control of the army
passing into Prussian hands, new military
arrangements have become indispensable
for the South. The fundamental prinei-
Piles of the new organization have been re-
solved upon, which, if they do not es-
tablish complete uniformity at once, at all
events pave the way for it. The German
army is in future to number seventeen ar
my corps, each of which will have its cor
respondent bodies in the reserve and land
wehr. The North German army comprises
already thirteen corps, viz. Prussia, elev-
en-; Saxony, one, and the other States
one among them. The thirteenth army
corps will, however, in future, be the
Badenese; the Northern States, joining
their contingents to other Prussian corps.
AS the Badenese Army is not sufficient for
an entire corps, some, Prussian regiments
will be told off to make it complete. Thir-
teen corps will therefore virtually be Prus-
sian. The Fourteenth is to be the Wur-
temburg, the. Fifteenth nominally Alsa-
tan and Lotharingian, but ia reality COM
ibined corps of North and South Germans,
representing the equivalent of the native
troops distributed over the German corps.
Bavaria will supply the Sixteenth and
Seventeenth. Special army conventions,
with all the separate States, are still pend
ing, resigning the. control more or less eX-
clusively to Prussia. sf

THE straits into which Democracy has
fallen, in reference to Presidential candi-
date, are plainly perceptible in the case OF
General Sherman. Although that distin-
guished officer, whose "march to the sea
could be traced for months, and probably
yet, by the stark chimneys that stand as
sentinels over charred buildings" was
abused by every Democrat in the land,
whether of high or low degree, yet they
are now willing to accept him with all
these imperfections. ANY body who can
get votes" is their motto-"Any body good
Lord" We have an idea, though, that it
would prove difficult task to persuade
some of the Georgia and South Carolina
Democrats to look with any degree of fa-
vor on Gen. Sherman.

From Athens.

The Baptist protracted meeting having
been in progress here over week, closed
on last night. A number of persons during
the meeting manifested publicly their de-
sire to be free from the bondage of sin, and
their determination to seek eternal life.
There will be a Sabbath school picnic
near Riceville on Saturday, the Both of
this month. 1t is expected to be an Occas-
ion of interest and pleasure, as there are
four or five schools engaged and prepar-
ing to render it SO. Some of the speakers
have already been selected and engaged.
The returns ofSaturday's election from
the districts of the county, have not. yet
all been received, but it is pretty generally
admitted that both school taxi and "neW
court house, have been killed. AS to the
former, it is not surprising, when we con-.
slider that the county votes Democratic.
AS to the latter, it is now a question,
whether or not the county would do the
same, should the court house fall down.
Evidently in regard to both the County
Count was deficient in moral courage, or
they would have acted without referring to
the people, even is some of them should be
beaten at future election in their dis
tricts.
The E. T. w. University is doing we'll.
Rev. DIR. Prettyman has accepted an agen-
cy for the University, and will, suppose,
enter the field of labor Immediately. The
faculty, students and citizens, are looking
forward to the commencement exercises
with anxiety. The faculty are determined
to make the exercises decidedly interesting,
and the students appreciate the importance
of this being accomplished, and are firm
in the resolution that nothing shall be left
undone on their part. The citizens and
friends of the school, everywhere, expect
this. The commencement will close Oh
the 14th of June, and on the following
day the Convention of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church in the South, will meet here
and continue to the 18th. twill be held
in the chapel of the University. The con-
vention following Immediately the exer-
cises of commencement, and both from
cozy little Athens" lively place at that
time. The good people here appreciate
this, and are preparing to entertain visit
ors from all quarters. Let them come!
