= peaceful people. Let knaves or ignorant
partizans jeer at Southern chivalry if they
, can. Her response to the wall Of woe from
the Northwest prOclAims II a living glory.
God forbid that we should appeal TO pas
sion in this hour Of national peril, or that
. we should hold the poor sufferers Of the
North directly responsible for the acts OF
their government, but we do say let these
facts pass into history, where they will
stamp the Radical party with infamy for
ever, and she'd immortal glory upon cur
beautiful, noble, but oppressed South.
Mr.. 5. C.. Simpson, who lives near Juno,
1 Henderson county, showed Us on Yesterday
natural curiosity, in the shape Of a chest
nut. On the inside Of its hull was the dis
tinct likeness or image OF a man, beard,
nose and hair standing out in bold relief,
and certainly making II the strangest freak
Of nature a In a nutshell that We ever
saw. We wanted 10 20 put on eXhi bitiOu to
dlsproVe the DarWinian theory that we are
all descended from monkeys, but Mr.. s.
would not part with it, and carried il baS
home. IL men grow in ehestnuts in old
| henderson, ought we not 10 build the
Jackson and Tennessee Railroad 70 develop
the resources Of that wonderful country
The man IN the noon has always been
an eye-scre 10 modest iassles. but il the
genus homo regins to Yegetate in chestnuts,
our far maidens can no longer go a hunt
ing, in the sober Autumn time, "when the
sound OF dropping nuts is heard"

We regret TO hear that little Ellen Vesey,
cfthis city, was slightly burned at home on
yesterday. Her clothes caught fire, and a
portion Of them were entirely consumed
Her escape was almost miraculous.

without injury to any one concerned.
A GREAT RACE.-Some OF the finest and |
fastest horses in the South, will trot to-day !
for The great premium of the Fair. They |
will start together, and the contest will be |
one Of the most exciting and entertaining |
ever witnessed 10y this people. There will !
be in the ring two celebrated Memphis /
horses, one from Kentucky, one from |
Nashville, one from Chicago, one from !
West Tennessee and one from Jackson |
This ring will be the finest yet exhibited, |
and the trotting time the best of the Fair |
The horses entered are all celebrated for |
blood, beauty and speed. The owners of /
these magnificent horses are enthusiastic
on the subject Of this race and the merits
Of their respective animals. The greatest
excitement prevails among the lovers of the
turf with regard to this contest, which will
be, par excellence, THE event of our splen-
did Fair. Let everybody turn out and
witness this superb exhibition Of fast and
blOoded stock.
a DROVE OF JACKs.-Just after the war
a great many men were completely pos
Sessed with the spirit of speculation. No |
matter what they speculated in, the greater
the risk the more irresistible the passion.
A friend of ours i'm this county, thoroughly |
under the influence of this mania, heard
that since the war there was great de-
mand in Illinois for jacks, and that they
were bringing fabulous prices. He prompt
ly invested several thousand dollars, money /
raised by speculation, even his all, in hfty- /
two Jacks and drove them to illinois,
When he reached that State jacks had |
fell" and after spending tive or six weeks
riding around, he returned home, without /
Jacks and dead broke. He reported the /
Jack market very duh and that he was \
swindled out Of five at one time by prea- |
cher His disgust was extreme, and he /
might have become very desperate, but for 4
the tOu>DlullOu 1uoiutu by lLtt ltACNlloH
that he had owned and speculated in the /
only drove Of jacks ever known in this |
country.
JOSH Billing says, that "when man gets /
a going down hill, it seems ~ if everything |
was creased for the occasion" Josh is l
right-our observation is that all those OBJ
stacles. which are purposely thrown in the |
WAY Of a man climbing up hill, are most |
industriously and promptly removed when |
he starts deWn. A man may be jOstled in |
life's ascent, but when he starts down, all |
those who were crowding, tripping and |
pulling at him, kindly turn their heads and |
shout back, "clear the track" There is "A ]
deal OF human nsture in the reply Of an |
old nurse, when asked how her aged pa |
tient died, said she : just took the pillow
from under his head, pinehed his poor nose; |
and poor dear he went of like lamb"
