FEBRUARY 10, 1872. (

MeSSTs. Editors
l write you line TO say that the impress
sion prevails TO some extent in our county
that Jackson will not vote the proposed aid
TO our railroad. hence it is not necessary
for our people TO vote the subscription in
this county. Please do US the favor to cor
rect this impression in the next issue Of
your paper, and thereby inspire our people
TO go TO the polls with the assurance that
jackson will meet us ut the county line. i
would also be glad, If you think Il prudent,
that you show our people that the agita-
ton of the proposed line from Bolivar via
Henderson STA, Jacks Greek, Centre Point,
etc, was originated at Bolivar (as 1 doubt
not il was), for the sole purpose of defeat
ing the subscription in this county, and
thus cripple the line via Jackson till the
Bolivar, Purdy and Savannah route can be
put upon a more permanent basis, think
the charter calls for Purdy and Savannah
as points on the Bolivar line. Our people
who favor the route spoken of, and relied
upon to defeat our road, are evidently gull
ed, and l should like something could be
said to open the eyes of the masses on that
subject, and not feeling competent 10 do
justice myself, would ask that you do so.
Yours, &c,

BECK and RroHynloHv.

Some rather rough compliments
have recently been passed between
Mr.. Beck, representative hailing
from Kentucky, and Mr.. Brownlow,
a Senator hailing from East Ten
nessee. Mr.. Beck is a young man
with a probable future before him,
and why he should belittle himself
by bandying blackguardism with
such creature as Brownlow, passes
our comprehension. There are pa
pers in Tennessee, we regret to see,
which encourage the young man in
his folly.

fit be desired to extinguish the
fire in a chimney which has been
lighted by fire in the fireplace, shut
all the doors of the apartment, so as
to prevent q current of air up the
chimney, and throw few handfuls
of common salt upon the fire, which
will Immediately extinguish the
same. The philosophy of this is,
that in the process of burning salt,
muriatic acid gas is evolved, which
is prompt extinguisher of fire.

what the Press saYs OF the AdvO-
cate.

We copy below the notices given
by the leading papers close at home.
From every section of the country
it is receiving the most flattering
compliments from the press and
from individuals, and it has sprung
into favor with a rapidity unex-
ampled and unexpected.
Several other papers in this State,
in Illinois and in Alabama are club
bling with it as does the WING AND
TRIBUNE.
The Memphis appeal says: ''The
first number of the AMERICAN
FARMERS ADVOCATE, published
at Jackson, in this State, is before
us. 1t is a large, wel-printed and
well-edited publication, that cannot
fail to make its way with the Agri-
cultural cl4sses. Address "AdVo-
cate Publishing Company" Jack
son, Tennessee"
The Nashville Union and Ameri-
can has the following:
n
We have received the first number
of a new agricultural paper, the
AMERICAN FARMERS ADVOCATE,
the official organ of the Agricultu-
raj Congress, published at Jackson.
In the salutatory the publishers an
nource that the Advocate will be
published monthly, twelve numbers
making a volume. 1t is printed in
periodical form and contains sixteen
large pages of well-printed matter.
The contents of the first number are
well selected articles from contem-
porary agricultural magazines, care
fully prepared editorials, and con-
tributions from able correspondents.
If the publishers can maintain the
same degree Of excellence in future
issues that they have attained
in the first number, it cannot fail TO
become what it ought to be, the or
gan of the Tennessee farmers. The
low price at which it is furnished
only one dollar a year-places it
within the reach of all.
The Banner in speaking of call
from our Mr.. Cameron, says:
"Don Cameron, of the Jackson
WIG AND TRIBUNE, is in town.
He has just started one of the hand
soonest and best edited agricultural
papers in the country. Why can't
our Farmers Club take hold of that
instead of going away off to St.
Louis"
Recollect that we offer the ADvo-
CATE to all of our subscribers who
renew for one year without extra
charge and to all new subscribers.

Leaving only 80 dissenting votes
within the bounds of said new coun-
ty, who were opposed to its organ

election known; and this should
certainly give satisfaction to all par
ties connected or identified that the
New County should be organized.

rHr BALror.pox IN ENGLAND.

England is slowly following in the
wake of America on the suffrage ques-
ton. Ere long she will become &C
ouainted with ward meetings, conven-
tons, primaries, ballot-box stuffing, and
other American institutions Of revered
memory. Hereafter voting by ballot
will be the method of expressing the
will of the.people at elections in Great
Britain. On the 18th ult. the ballot
bill, which has been so long under con-
sideration in the British Parliament, was
fully disposed of in the House of Lords,
where it had met with persistent oppssi-
ton. and it has since received the royal
assent. The bill passed is the bill of the
Commons, with two amendments by the
House of Lords. This is deemed an
experimental measure; indeed, the OPP
Grafton of the law ceases in 1880 unless
a new bill replaces it then or earlier. But
there is not the slightest probability that
the ballot will ever be taken from the
people after it has once been adopted,
though it is likely that experience may
lead to many Improvements in the de-
tails of the law providing for its use.

SOUTH AMERICA.

WAsHINGToy, August 5.-Commodore
Stemble, in his flag ship. the Pensacola,
was at Callao on the 9th Of July. He
reports that on the 4th of July the Pc
ruvian squadron, the French gunboats,
the steamers of the Pacific Steam Navi-
CATION Company, the French mail steam
ers, and many merchant vessels in the
harbor, united with the Pensacola in
celebrating our national anniversary.
The manner in which the citizens Of
Callao, the Americans and others, OBJ
served the day, was particularly
iattering. The city was decorated with
flags, and many Of the stores were
closed and a holiday made Of it.
The Grand National Exposition Of
Peru was informally opened at Lima on
the LIST Of July. but would be inAugu-
rated by the President on the second
anniversary Of the national independ-
ence Of Peru.
Ex-Governor Thomas, the newly ap-
pointed American minister to Peru, ar
rived at Callao on the evening Of the ID
Of July and proceeded on the next day
to the capital.

NEW YORK.

New YORK, August 5.-Richard Cole
man entered the liquor saloon Of Chas.
Regan, SOL West Forty second street
yesterday morning, and called for a
drink, and on asking for the second
drink was refused by Regan. A quarrel
followed and Coleman drew knife and
stabbed Regain over the left eye. Regan
then seized pistol and fred one shot at
Coleman, the ball entering the abdomen,
from the effects of which Coleman died
last night. Regan was arrested.
John Kellar stabbed James Koran
yesterday morning. Horan's wound is
very dangerous and may terminate ia
tally. Kelar was arrested.
1t is stated that Jay Gould has been
served with copy of complaint in an
other series of suits to be brought
against him by the Erie railroad for
alleged irregularities of management
while he was President. The present
suit is stated to be for the recovery Of a
large amount of real estate, alleged to
be illegally retained by him; total value
being between one and two millions.
The threat of the Excise Commission
ers to prosecute any liquor dealer who
should sell liquor on Sunday, had a
wholesome effect Of keeping closed the
doors of all but very small proportion
of saloons in the city yesterday. At
late hour Saturday night the police en-
tered all the saloons and ordered dealers
to close doors promptly at midnight.
Quiet streets and only few intoxicated
men in station-houses yesterday showed
the beneficial results of the change.

BISMARCK AND THE JEsUITs.

Bismarck's war on the Jesuits of Ger
many will affect seriously the education
of the Catholic youth. The order is that
every seminary must be broken up,
every Jesuit church given over, and all
their organizations to be dissolved within
six months. Not only the Jesuits are
thus prosecuted, but the monastic or
ders, Franciscans, Benedictines, Car
thusians, etc. In future no teachers,
male or female, belonging to monastic
orders shall be allowed in any German
school. The statistics show that nearly
one-half of the primary education of the
Catholics of the Empire is in the hands
of monks and nuns. All the young
Catholics, especially the girls of the
poorer classes, receive their first train
ing at the foundation schools of St.
Anna, St. Josephine, st. Ursula, etc.
The sisterhood are also engaged in works
of mercy to the sick and poor, and their
Punishment will be a national loss;
hence q storm of indignation is forming
in Catholic Germany, a storm that will
ere long burst above the heads of the
iconoclasts, but Bismarck is all-power-
full, and possesses an ambition that
must be satisfied at any cost. 1t is no
ticeable that the Jewish members of the
German Reichstag voted against the bill
for the expulsion of the Jesuits. OF the
four members, three-Bamberger, Las
ker and Sonneman-voted against the
bill, while DR.. Wolfson abstained from
voting. From bitter experience, the
Jews have learned wisdom. Expelling
the hereto does not always insure the
expulsion of the heresy.

GERMANY AND THE FRENCH LOAN

Notwithstanding the terrible reverses
that France received during the war,
and the immense debt accumulated, her
financial condition at present is salts
factory in the extreme. The recent
French loan has been taken by German
capitalists, fact which pays the most
brilliant homage to the stability of the
French government and to the wonder
full resources of the nation. Germany
subscribed nearly the entire amount Of
the six hundred millions Of dollars re-
quired by the French government, a
loan put upon the market TO secure the
evacuation Of the French territory. So
large has been the subscription that the
amount required will be adjudged to
French capitalists alone; but surely no
nation has ever received from any coun-
try, certainly no defeated nation has
received from its victorious enemy so
great and generous a compliment. The
amount of subscriptions from Germany
and France to the loan was four thous-
and millions of dollars, an amount
about twice the sum Of our national
debt, and greater even than the huge
debt Of Great Britain.
