MIR. Wm Rule, ccn"A Of the proprietors
of the Knoxville Chronicle, has. we earn. EARN
been in this city for a day or two past, on
business connected with the Post Office
Department. We are informed, on relia
bic authority, that a short time since he
received, from Washington, an appoint
ment as Special Postal Agent for Tonnes
see. Mr.. Rule, we understand, has had
quite large amount of business connect
ed with the POstch.ce interest committed
to his hands, and is nov on his return
from short trip IN the Southern part
Of this State. He will leave for home in a
day or two. Being a newspaper man and
therefore the more fully acquainted with
the business and requirements of the Post
Office Department than most new men can
be expected to be, we welcome him as an
acquisition TO the effective force of the
Postoffice Department for this State. His
paper, always Radical, and sometimes ex-
tremely so, has, so far as he is concerned,
been well received by bis opponents in
East Tennessee, and hence he comes we'll
recommended to us.
Gen. Stokes, it is reported, is to take
charge of the Internal Revenue Depart
ment of this State, as Supervisor, Instead
of Mr.. Emery. The change will not take
place for week or ten days yet. While
Mr.. Emery has some points in his admin
istration which commend him to the peo-
pie of Tennessee, yet Gen. Stokes, being
the more extensively acquainted with them,
and the more familiar with their wants and
necessities, will be the far more accepts-
ble to tie people of our State.
When Mr.. Emery leaves for his new
field of operations, it is probable that he
will take with him portion of his present
internal revenue force, Capt. Gavett and
others, because of their familiarity with
the duties of their positions.
Gov. Senter has left this city for his
home in East Tennessee, to be absent a

The grand hop at the Maxwell Hoose
last night by the patrons and pupils OF
Prof. @. t. Cleveland was brilliant affair
and very largely attended. There is no
thing more agreeable, pleasing, entertain
the little ones play prominent part. The
youngsters have been looking forward to
this event for several weeks, and their
merry faces last evening indicated that
they were in the height of their enjoy
ment. The fancy dances taught by Prof
Cleveland are superior to anything Of the
kind brought out here, and his scholars,
one and all, seem to be proficient in the
polite art. This was the closing hop OF
the season, and many of those who par
ticipated in the pleasant affair will wish for
a return of the terpsichorean attractions.

OUR CAPITOL GROUNBs.
LandscePs Grnnssentaffon- Sur
yeys TO Commence at Once-The
New York Architect.

New York Architect.
We stated in yesterdays UNION AND
AMERICAN that Mr.. John Bogart, dis
tinguished landscape architect of New
York, had arrived in this city, to prepare
plans and specifications for the improve
ment of the capitol grounds. Mr, Bogart
has taken a room in the capitol, adjoining
the Governors Office, and will remain in
this city about week, to make the neces-
sssy pre- iminary surveys.
AS this 9 matter in which our entire
State is interested, beautiful Capitol and
satisfaction to ali, We propose to state
what initial steps will be taken by Mr..
Bogart, in regard to the work.
And first, we will remark that MIR. Bogart
is a member of the firm of Bogart, Culyer
& Co, Landscape Architects, Engineers,
and Architects, No 1871 Broadway, New
York. To give some idea of the ability o!
this firm, it is only necessary to say that
its members have had an experience OF
twelve years on public works, including
the well-known Central Park of New York
City, Prospect Park in Brooklyn, and
other Parks in Chicago, Albany, etc.
We have heretofore given in our col
umns an extended account of the act Of
the Legislature authorizing the improve
ment and ornameptaEIels Of the Capitol
grounds, and the general plans which the
Penitentiary Inspectors proposed to follow,
as obtained from reliable sources
1t only remains now to give general
outline of the plan Mr.. Bogart intends to
pursue. OF course some surveys
would first be necessary, but there
happens fortunately to be an original
survey of the grounds made by a former
Civil Engineer Of Nashville, which Mr.
Bogart pronounces to be generally very
correct and quite accurate IN its topo
graphical features This will be maze the
basis of operations, and surveys will only
have to be made of those streets adjacent
where the grade has been altered since
this original plan was made. Mr.. Bogart hal
commenced his work and will push it rapid
ly forward TO completion, He will complete
the mathematical surveys where rendered
necessary by any change of grade il
| streets, make his studies of the ground
and this being done, will take the result
of his lAb0rs with him TO New York, wheI,
| he will consult with his associate partners
and perfect the plan by which the In
spectors will be guided in their work.
From the high reputation Of Mr.. bogaIt
| and his undoubted skill in landscape arohi
tectnre, there can be no doubt that pla
will be perfected which, when fully carrie
ont by the Inspectors, will make our cap
tol not only an object OF great Interest
but source Of pride to every TennesSeeaI

As a general thing hogs Kept about
whisky distilleries thrive and grow fat
without being great deal of trouble or
expense 70 their owners. This was not so,
however, with the hogs, several hundred
in number, kept until recently a. dis
tillery in Davidson county. Several days
since the work of distillation at the place
was suspended, and since that time many
of the hogs have sickened and died. Ow-
ing to this fact, their owner removed the
surviving animals to a farm in another
part OF the county, bRt strange to say, the
sickness and fatality continues even to an
increased extent. The cause Of the sick
nt IS is not definitely known. but it is sup
posed that the fermented mash eaten by
the hogs had remained SO long after dis
tiliatiOn CEASED as to become poisonous

EInnuenon ,hat Didn,tPar.

Mr.. Phestus, an intelligent man whose
external seeming is that Of a way-farer,
yesterday answered in the Recorder S
Court to the charge of that condition com
mon to an excessive indulgence in spirits
more ardent that propriety warrants. II
was mentioned by the Court that the set
Element of SO for the benefit of The cor
poration would be necessary in the case Of
Mr.. Phestus. Upon being Informed that
the omission on bis part TO pay over the
amount specified would result in some Of
fetal interference with his personal hber-
ty, the impecunious defendant made an
eloquent appeal in behalf Of a reconsidera-
ton of the Judgment, in the course Of
which address he INDUCED in some humor-
ON If not philosophical references to the
S;s;ointad conoi ion 81 the times and the
bad effects of adulterated fluids. The
Court did not dissent from the wholesome
truths uttered by the noble Phestus, but
declined, for the present at least, to sccede
TO the main proposition they embraced,

desires information as to the best method
of cultiyatiDg broom corn so as to improve
the quality and increase the s'zs OF Its

furnished, he would probably wish to know
whether it was best to bring broom-corn IN
a saw or grist mill. We are not at present

RIVER AND WEATHER.

The river at this point was declining
slowly yesterday, with five feet large on the
shoals. Weather cloudy, with indications
of rain.
There were no arrivals yesterday.
The Emma Floyd cleared for Cincinnati,
with 1O7 bales cotton ald some other little
freight.
The Talisman departed for Cairo. She
had Twenty-Five dozen chairs for Memphis,
lot of cedar ware for st. Louis, nineteen
barrels apple brandy for New Orleans and
sundry packages way freight.
The Tyrone is the next craft for Cairo.
The Spray will arrive from Cincinnati
on Monday.
The EddyviIl, will clear for the Upper
Cumberland this evening.
The Pat Cleburne made the ninety mile
run from Helena to Memphis on her last
trip up, in eight hours, making one lanG-
ing. Twelve miles an hour up the Missis-
sippi, at its present stage, with two hun
dred bales of cotton and full of people, is
good time for a business boat. The
Cleburne is worth sight.
The st. Louis Republican Of Wednesday
saws: There is considerable activity in the
upper Missouri, and the mountain trade
is opening. 1t is a fact to be deplored
that this trade is falling off SO that it
attracts little attention Only the few en-
gagged in itknow anything about the trade.
The Memphis ACaIaRcte of yesterday
saws: The river fell barely inches yester-
day, and is 124 feet lower than when at its
highest point. Arkansas is rising, with
over 10 feet through to Little Rock.
White is going down slowly, and is within
its banks all the way above ILdial Bay.
The weather yesterday was cloudy with
indications of rain.
A fair has been held by the ladies of
Little Rock. They had a nice flag on
which is painted in oil the coat of arms of
the State of Arkansas. The flag was voted
to the iavorite and most popular Arkansas
steamer A telegram last night, after the
fair closed, announces the Oleburne as
that steamer. That Is good for the Gle
burne. She will bring it around on her
next trip, and of course it will float in gal
liant and snowy style from the mast head
so that everybody can see it.
Capt. Charley Weed, for many years
connected with the steamboat interests of

McKean Buchanan in Knoxville

This distinguished actor has been filling
an engagement at Knoxville where he has
been drawing well. The Knoxville Press
and Herald Of Thursday says:
Mr. BuchGnan's rendition of Hamlet, to
a full house last evening, was superb, and
the support was all that could have been
desired. HAMLET is well kboyn 10 all Of
us from frequent reading Of the character
10 Shakespeare, and the many noble utter
snces Of the hero. These were given by
Mr.. Buchanan with a perfect conception
of their spirit. The famous soliloquy
talk with the grave diggers-the moralizng
oyer poor Yorick's skull-all were rendered
so ss'to faiyly entitle the great actor to the
unbounde5 appliance which was given.
