Speaking at Bristol.
JoNEsBORO'. TENNESSEE,
Oct, 2, 1872.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Judge Houk,
Republican Elector for the State at large
is here to address our people to-day. He
spoke at Bristol yesterday to a respectful
crowd in both numbers and intelligen ce.
Nine-tenths of them were Democrats. His
speech was bold, yet dignified, and mod
crate in tone. He was listened to with
marked attention for more than an hour
and half, and applauded, At the close
of his speech the applause became general,
the whole crowd joining in heartily. The
argument offered seemed to favorably inn
press his hearers. That Judgement had
been made in their minds which set them
to thinking, was apparent to the least OBJ
serving. This of course was distasteful to
that class who cannot brook opposition.
Hence, as the Judge concluded, a little
pjc0ninny sort of fellow, whose name is
not recollected, assayed what he called
reply. Disregarding the issues and
arguments presented he commenced a
low, vulgar, personal harrangue, assailing
the Judge for what he should have said in
speech some four or five years before,
disappearing and misstating the facts
| in the case, as the Judge arose and calmly
informed him. True, however, to the in
stincts of Democrat, the little creature
grew more furious for having to correct and
| qualify his Misrepresentation. He called
| to mind, and called the crowd nine out of
every ten of whom were Democrats, to
witness that "Judge Houk has not got
| Grisham's bayonets around him now,"
emphasizing and gesticulating in man
ner, whether so intended not, so as to
| indicate TO the crowd that il NyouId bava
| been a good time to mob the Judge for
what he is reputed to have said several
| years since.
TO the credit.of the people, though an
overwhelming majority We're ex-Confeder-
ates, they remained calm, and gave no sort
/ of countenance to the little would-be lead
er of a mob. 1t is said all signs fail in dry
weather. Unless something of the kind
exists as applicable to the people of Bristol,
and vicinity, good results will follow, the
work of yesterday. The whistle hav-
| ing announced the train as ready to
more off, and the fiery little fellow still
ranting in most laughable and yet bully
ing style, Judge Houk said, II did not
| come here to discuss personal matters. My
object was to talk of principles, and give
the relative merits of men. / can't turn
aside to quarrel. You will all bear witness
that have. assailed no man personally.
| Now, in leaving you, wish it distinctly
understood that have no reply to make
TO such talk as this-Jut zoe may all meet
again.
Thus saying the Judge hasteued to the
cars, and the little fellow who was swelling
up so lord.like subsidized. Whatever else
may be said, no decent man can endorse
the purpose and design of the little candi-
date for notoriety. Republicans are salts
fled. Democrats are mad.

severe injuries, was yet able to keep his feet.

storing order and dissipating the confusion that
attended the scene, nor did he relinqush his

o clock last night

zeal in his power to make the passengers as
comfortable as possible under the circumstances

they had passed, and with hischarscteristic fore
thought and liberality teegraphed to Morris

rival ofthe train.
LEAVING THE SCENE OF DISASTER.
The train left the scene of accident about six
o'clock. Mrs. Smithson, who is thought TO be
fatally injured, and the colored brakeman
James Heiskell, were taken to Greeneville. His
injuries are mortal and he was not expected to
live till morning.
Col. John Pride and daughter were brought
TO Morristown and conveyed to the residence of
his son-in-law, while all the other passengers
arrived in this city on the train at midnight,
portion of whom took quarters at the Atkin
House, while others continued their journey
homeward

not great and will be repaired to-day, work.
men being busily engaged in clearing away the
wreck when the train left. Passengers and
baggage will be transferred at the break this
morning, making connections and it is hoped
that even this detention will be avoided with
the next train.
A CAUSE OF CONGRATULATIONS.
Though the accident is one deeply to be de-
plored, yet we think all on board the train have
cause of congratulation that so few we're iniur-
ed, and should recognize in this the watchful
care of One who who overlooks all things and
restraints the onslaught of death itself.
This is the first accident of such magnitude
that has occurred for long term Of years on
this road, if indeed such has ever been the case
and we hope we shall not again be called on to
record another.

ATHENS, TENN, Oct. 9, 1872.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: According to
published appointments Messrs. Maynard,
johnson and Cheatham addressed the citi-
zens Of McMinn county, at this place, yes
terday. Gen. Cheatham first greeted the
audience. The General may be, probably
is, good boon companion, as one would
naturally infer from his natural figure and
jolly face, but as "speakist, !" he is a signal
failure. After reading his "little piece"

date, he would have announced himself
the standard-bearer of the
DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
His prologue was equally desti-
tute of rhetoric and logic Though we
have often heard the arch demagogue, his
effort yesterday was the most labored and
ridiculous performance we ever heard him
make. Nevertheless, we suppose, it was
eminently satisfactory to his admirers here,
who clapped their hands in appreciation of
what he should say before he opened his
mouth.
The talented Maynard, to whom we
also have often listened before, made, we
think, the best speech we ever heard from
him. His defence of Grants administra-
ton was matchless. He was logical, elo-
quent and facetious.

Aleck Brown, the fireman, dreamed the night
before at Bristol that this accident would occur
on the down grade west of Greeneyille, and
that the engine would run about mile upside
down. This dream was repeated and made
such an impression on Browns mind that he
mentioned it 10 friend before leaving Bristol
yesterday morning. The accident did occur at
the very spot located in the dream. Fact

Chicago are earning $4,000 per mile per annum
and are paying large and regular dividends
3d. They have built the shortest road TO the eele
braed Block Coal Mines, whose products have large

ofiron, as well as for domestic uses.

amount, are seldom in the market
Sth That as the amount remaining unsoi is only

The Bonds for $1,000 each have 40 years to run,

No opinion could be more incorrect
than the too generally received one
that horse draws by virtue of, or In
proportion to, his own weight and
size. If this were the case. the largest
and heaviest animal could always
draw the most; and his weight on the
scale would be the best test of his
capabilities. But facts in abundance
prove it otherwise. Draught does not
depend altogether upon weight and
size. 1t is In great measure the re-
suit Of ritdi power. Although
weight can render some assistance,
the power Of drauga is chiefly Curing
to muscular action and nervous energy,
which, again, are intimately connect
ed with and greatly dependent on, the
temperament of the animal. The
jennet, mule, ass and blood-horse,
have much more energetic tempera-
ments than the carter, and conse-
quently possess more muscular power
than the latter. in proportion to their
weight and size. Their leverage,
however, is not nearly 80 well suited
for draught, and In that respect, when
compared with the ordinary cart
horse, they labor under decided dis
advantage. Prairie Farmer.
