disastrous, who, violating every cOnstitu-

who, politician, attempts to draw atten-

never gave advice to his constituents until
too late, who, believing, as he says, that

his opinion, until too late. Who, with his
bitter hatred of his opponents, and their
undying hatred of him, must ever keep up

and the scum still rising, which we are
trying to make, down at our bidding,

BLOODY AFFRAY.
A Man has his Head Crushed,

The Jonesboro' Flag has received infor-
nation in regard to bloody affray which
took place on Tuesday morning last, on
Frazier Branch, near Indian Creek in Sui

name not known) had procured a search
warrant for the purpose of apprehending
man who had escaped from the penitentiary
at Nashville, named Francis Crumley, for
whom a reward was offered. The officer
had summoned, among his posse, Mr.. VIM.
Floyd, who, it seems, knew something of
the whereabouts of the said Crumley. They
proceeded to the residence of Mr.. Dennis
Nolan, who resided on Frazier Branch,
and commenced to search his premises.

asserting that he had seen Crumley at No

WALNUT GROVE ACADENIT

OCpCCAIUcL y, 1Of-s
In tramp over parts of the countie of
Jefferson, Granger, Union and Knox,
have Overtaken some news and Otler
items.
One night last week Miss Lyon, in
company with her father, who lives ew
miles north of Messy Creek, committed a
most dreadful act. During the night The
left the house, and going into the garden,
gave birth to child. She claims that the
child was still-born, but, whether so or
not, she left it there exposed until NOM
ing. In the morning, her father, finding
the child dead. took it into thicket and
covered it up with some trash. In a day
or so, some small boys found the BODY Of
the infant half eaten up by dogs. They
revealed the discovery, and the guilty
parties were brought to trial and lodged in
cambridge jail.
Granger county is grand chinquapn
orchard. On every hill side and in every
flat wood, they grow in multitudes. Mil.
lions of the bushes line every ridge road
standing in the fence corners and on the
banks as though they were holding out
their burs for signs, representing the heavy
stock of burs just out in the woods near
by. The county also abounds in fruit.
Every farmhouse is now surrounded by
scatfolds and dry-kilns. Peaches and ap
plies are dried on these in great abundance
Granger county is one of irregularly ar
ranged bills and on this account we think
the fruit is more apt to "hit." There is
but one regularly defined valley in the
county, that being the one running at
the base of Clinch Mountain, in which
is situated Tate's Springs. The citizens of
the county are very friendly. They will
even come out to the road side and show
one the "way," make plats of the roads,
forks, turns, crosses, ETC., in the sand and
dust, so that a weary traveller cannot miss
his way. The great objection to travelling
through Granger county is the cussed con-
dition of the sign-boards. They are put
out wrong end foremost, printed in letters
and language that lawyer can't read nor
interpret, some are half readable and some
are as blank rs q leaf. Here is specimen
of one:

Gov, Br0WnlOW,

The following letter addressed to Hon.
VIM. Spence. we find in the Nashville
Banner
KNOXVILLE, Sept. ,, 1872.
Hon. IFnl. Spence:
DEAR SIR: regret that [ am not able
to attend the Republican State Conven-
ton. / have no wish to dictate as to the
course to be pursued by the convention
My own opinion is that we should run a
man for every position to be filled, from
Governor down but you to compose the
convention-fresh from the people in all
parts of the State-can better judge of the
policy or impolicy of such action than /.
In no event should we, as Republicans,
take up and adopt as our candidate any
man who does not support Grant and
Wilson.
Allow me, in conclusion, to congratulate
you and the members of the convention on
the favorable auspices under which you
assembled.
At no time, hitherto, in Tennessee or
throughout the country, have the prospects
of the national Republican party been
brighter and more glorious than now.
"Victory is in the air." as the New York
Tribune said before the North Carolina
election, and the glorious Republican vic
tory which was in the North Carolina air
pervades the atmosphere in all parts of the
country.
I have no idea that Greeley and Brown
will carry more than six or seven States,
and the corrupt coalition which brought
about their candidacy will be more dis
gracefully beaten than has ever been any
party in the history of this county.
Our grand old party could beat the Ku-
kluX Democracy if it were reinforced by
forty times the Greeley apostates who rally
TO Its piratical flag.
Very respectfully,
w. G., BROWNLOW,

A DANGEROUS MAN.
BY CORPORAL BUMP.

Mr.. Sumner says Grant is bold, bad, dan
gerous man.-Newspaper.
GA bold, bad man is General Grant"
said Floyd one gloomy night
AS out from DOnelson he crept
And took his hasty flight.
From Pillows trembling lips there came
An echo sounding much the same,
And Buckner thought his chief was right
Nor longer burst maintain the flight
And then came down the rebel bars"
And from the fort hung stripes and stars,
That Grant dangerous man." said they,
And doubtless think the same to-day.
"a bold, bad man is General Grant"
Said Beauregard one morn,
As from the naughty traitors brow
The vctor's wreath was torn
And from the field his legiOns went
By orders General Grant had sent.
Then Shiloh's field was ours again,
Despite the host of rebel men,
Who came an army boasting loud,
But went panic-stricken crowd;
For Beauregard and all his men
Perhaps thought Grant was dangerous then.
"a bold, bad man is General Grant,"
Said PembertOn one day;
"EntreatieS are of no avail,
He will not 60 away.
A stubborn, mulsh,. dangerous man;
He wants our rebel hides to tan"
And still Grants cannon raked the town,
Until the rebel flags came down.
And then our banners, rent and torn,
Were through the streets of Vicksburg borne
The ''bold, bad man." that glorious Fourth, y
Sent gladstone tidings to the North
ga bold, bad man is General Grant,"
And poor Bragg's eyes were dim
With tears said he, II know
'Tis useless fighting him."
And soon the cheers from Grants brave men
On Lookouts crest told where and when
The rebel General had to run,
"And what that bold, bad man" had done.
That Grants dangeIous man ~
As from the field his army ran.
"a bold, bad man is General Grant,"
Said Lee. "That's plain to see;
He must be very bold, indeed,
To think of whipping me.
Then Petersburg and Richmond fell
Then Appomattox-may be-well,
At last our hero's work was done;
The final victory was won.
Perhaps the people may forget
These things, but then, they haven't yet
They needed then, such dangerous men,
And think, perhaps they may again.
"a bold, bad, dangerous man is Grant )"
JEFF. Davis thought the same,
When running off in crinoline,
He to the last ditch' came.
Kukluxs gentle voice is heard,
And-"Grant is dangerous is averred,
1t needs must be that this is so,
For all these rebels ought to know.
Then Hall and Tweed-good honest men
Say 'Garnt is bold and bad," and when
Such men declare it, then, forsooth,
Folks know that Sumner tells the truth.
