KNOXVILLE, TENN THURSDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 1872 m
A BUGLE BLAST.
SOhnsOn's Home Organ ON the Political
.r.. ..f Futdre i'm Tennessee .-af

The Greeneville Sentinel and Reporter,
the home organ of Andrew johnson, in
this weeks issue hurls this thunderbolt at
the Cheatham Democracy:
The ring is trying to rally its broken
columns. The spirit of prescription is still !
rife. Mr.. johnson and his supporters are
daily arraigned, charged will ills of which
they were neither the cause nor the occa-
sion, ard bitter, malignantoabuse is their
daily portion.
HJOhnson men are to be prescribed by
the Cheatham men in the Legislature-if
the majority force such issues, then our
advice is for the Johnson men to form such
alliances, both offensive and defensive, as
will be necessary notonly for self defense,
but also for the purpose of annihilating
with clap of thunder the last remnant of
that hitherto almost invincible military
ring whose power Andrew johnson broke
upon the plain.
Are the Cheathamites anxious to force
such issues Andrew Johnson is not dead,
neither has his power departed, nor is his
cause weak. Around him stand his Veter-
ans-fifty thousand voters strong, and
daily growingin plumbers. His very name
is organization to this legion, and the
principles he represents are as undying as
free. government. Andrew Johnson,
statesman, leader at the head of this dis
ciplined army, panoplied with the eternal
principle of right can vanquish the now
larger force, broken, demoralized, without
aleader, cursing in their rage and vainIy
endeavoring to meet the issues of the liv-
ing present, with the only principle known
to their party-a Confederate record of the
past.
Let King Harris wind his horn and call
his clans-Iet the military ring marshal its
hosts if not content with the unmistakable
verdict of the people rendered on the 9Th of
this month, and some will experience the
difference between defeat and utter ami
hilation.

Tom Mast at Home.

From the Washington Chronicle
Mr.. Mitchell was the bearer of q cordial
letter of thanks from the Republican Con-
gressional Committee to his friend, Thos.
Mast, of Harper's, for effective and stirring
work during the recent campaign. 1t was
at Mr.. Mitchells suggestion that the COM
mittee determined to Introduce Nast's
mastery cartoons into the documents of
the campaign, and the manner in which
they were called for was sure evidence of
their convincing and telling power.
Mr.. Mitchell visited Mast at his pleasant
country home in Morristown, n. j., and
found him highly elated over the great
victory, and hard at work on a crushing
picture for the next issue of Harper's.
He is very pleasantly situated in his ele-
giant home, surrounded by very inter-
esting family, having a most estimable
Yankee girl for n helpmeet, and three
bright, ,well-manueredc children to brighten
his household. His house is most costly
furnished, and displays high artistic cul-
ture in the selections and grouping of the
various and rich works of art and Orna-
mentatiOn.
In his library are many valuable works,
chiefly pertaining to art or history, giving
evidence Of the care exercised in making
SSlSCIIOHSI do W Ol1C
the matter between the covers rather than
to ornamentation or glitter of binding.
His portfolios contain many rare and ex-
ceediDgly fine engravings, and draw
ings, embracing different rules and
methods.
Mr. Mast was highly gratified at the
contents of the committees letter, and
with modest pride expressed himself ac-
cordingly. There is very little romance
about this artist. He is a man of practical
ideas and clear convictions, an artist of
mastery conception and exhaustless re-
source, never acting without pure
motive. His talent is unpurchasable, and
if with his unerring pencil, he hits people
who hardly deserve, it is because they are
in the way, or in bad company. In mat
ters of controversy he don't believe an
adversary should be handled with gloves,
but rather aggressively; still, always
fairly. Nh
The campaign has been one of severe
toll to Mr.. Mast, but the consciousness of
being right has given strength and agility
to the artists seemingly exhaustless
power. tIl E.- #4#-E

Protecting Peach Trees.


P. Stewart, of the Mt. Lebanon Shakers,
communicated to the farmers Club OF
New York mode of protecting peach
trees from the grub which infests their
roots.
It consists of mixture of one peck un-
bleached ashes, one quart fine salt, one pint
flour of sulphur, four quarts bone meal OF
phosphate of lime, and two quarts fine sea
gravel.
He dug close around the roots of about
one dozen trees, some of them badly affect
ed with the grub, and put about pint oil
the mixture tight around the body. In
the spring he examined all the trees close
ly to which this mixture has been applied
and could find no appearance of grubs
about any of them, while one standing near
them in the same kind of soil, which was
missed, was found full Of grubs, and about

A Plea for Sheen,

We copy from the McMinnville Ne,U
Era a sensible article on the subject of
"Sheep or Dogs" written by a farmer
whose statement deserves consideration.
1t is disgraceful to the great agricultural
State of Tennessee that farmers have no
adequate protection from tame wolves
kept for no useful purpose. For great
many years New York farmers raised
twice as many sheep as were raised in any
other State. This result was achieved by
imposing a tax on all dogs in every county
to create fund to pay for all sheep that
dogs killed in the county. Where few
sheep were killed, the tax was very light !;
if many, the tax was in proportion.
This law operated well over forty years,
and is probably still in force. To avoid
the tax, the owners Of dogs have only to
put out of the way all that injure sheep.
During % years residence on farms in the
South, the writer has had two good f1ocks
of sheep, one in Georgia, and one in Ten
nessee, both of which were destroyed by
dogs This hostility to wool growing, and
attachment to worthless ours and hounds,
clothe thousands in rags, and make warm
blankets scarce in many log cabin. Ad-
vanced civilization prefers mutton to the
flesh of dogs, and wool to dogs hair for
comfort, or food and clothing Union and
