From Bunker Hill.

Mr.. EDIToR:-After the lapse OF
q few weeks silence since my last
communication, permit me TO in
form you that the people of Bunker
Hill have yet a place on the list OF
| thriving people. Our crops are not
! as good as expected; the corn crop
will supply Il e demands, while the
cotton crop is only moderately
good. The people generally saved
their fodder, which, together with
the abundant supply of hay, will
abundantly supply our stock with
feed this winter. We are building
Presbyterian Church near Dyer's
school house, known as Young's
Chapel. We also have one Union
and two Baptist chur, hes. The
Hardshel Baptist Association was
held on last Saturday, Sunday and
Monday, and was well attended and
largely represented. l think it
time for them to give up the non
resurrection doctrine, as we have
had q late demonstration of the
truth of resurrection in the person
of ExcravasIer, whom we had
mOuTned as gone the way all living
must go, but to our great JOY and
surprise, he sent a communication
to You for publication that his nu-
merOus friends might know that he
lives again. We rejoice over his
resurrection, and wish him an hon
ored and happy life. There is little
excitement In our community, ex-
cept on the Turnnike question.
We hope the pike will run through
our ever memorable monument of
our vicinity. There is very little
political excitement among us. /
believe the people generally are for
Greeley for President, Brown fo-
Governor, and l hope B. +. Cheat
ham for Congress. The race for
Congress reminds me of my old
friend MS sOns-in-law; he had
three. The first was a clever, in
dustriOus, upright, honest and firm
man, with good sense, but drank all
he made; commanding the respect
of his community, yet spent all his
gains for strong drink. The second
was q Doctor $50 called without
practice; formerly had good prac-
tice, but by deception, proving a
traitor to his profession, he lost all,
and became a worthless, deceitful
imposition in society and among
his neighbors. The third was a
trifing, lazy, Icing, cheating, thiev-
ish scamp, who was for big l. and
lived of of other peoples means.
Just 80 with our candidates, with
the exception of Cheatham. But as
the johnson party accuse him of
being & whisky barrel, will admit
flor their accommodation his too
frequent nse Of strong drink, and
consider him the first law,
whom the people respect and con-
fide in as a fit representative of our
State in the next Congress; while
Andrew Johnson, the so called Dec
tor of the Legislative wants and
Constitutional rights OF the people,
without practice, (as at present.,
and whose political aspirations led
him to desert his party, turned dem
agOgue, and is now blowing his
whistle upon the track of political
fame, but having no coW-catcher up
on his locomotive to remove OBJ
structions from his road, will no
doubt get knocked off the track by
the invincible Cheatham. The third
is Maynard, whom we will compare
with the trifing, lazy, Icing, cheat
ing, thievish scamp, who is for
Big Ike, and lives off of other PEG
pies means-the East Tennessee
skunk.
After considering his sons in-law,
friend M said to his wife: "Sal-
lie, the devil owed us a debt and
has paid it in sOns-in law. 1t Is a
little wOrser, big wOrser, and
d sight worser." So we think
of our candidates for Congress from
the State at Large; and, like Sal
lies response, ''theFe is one great
consOlation-the next can be no
worse than the present"
In conclusion, ] will inform you
that the excitement over Gen. Jack
sons marriage has subsiied. He
and his bride are as happy as two
ducks in a pond. The young people
of our vicinity are as gay as ever,
have ceased attending pic-nics and
barbecues (Which could not be ex-
celled } for this season, and now en-
joy the pleasures of home sociality.
There Is no doubt but we will hear
new soon; il so. I will
