KNOXVILLE, TENN. April %, 1872.
The arrivals of grain, hay and -four have
been liberal during tho past week. Prices are
above the views of shippers and higher rela-
lively than Western markets, consequently no
shipments of Importance and the tendency is TO
lower figures. Hay is decidedly cheaper, with
liberal supplies coming in from the country
The price of corn depends upon future arrivals
If considerable the market must drop back to
shipping ma rket. But little bacon is offered
and the prospect now is for only local demand,
as prices are too high for shipment Trade is
generally dull, and will remain so probably I'M
til wheat harvest. The prospect for an album.
dant crop was never better at this season of
the year. If our hopes are realized II is ex-
pected that farmers will profit by past expe-
rence and avail themselves of the early
market.
There is some demand for bacon and lard
without material change in prices. Flour
moves slowly at last weeks quotations.

ALITTLR ANECnOTE.

There lived in the Valley of Vir-
ginia, during the late war, 3 justice OF
the peace, and distinguished for his
devotion to the Codfederate cause.
Through every hour of darkness or
sunshine he held to the conviction
that the COnfederacy could not fail ;
that it was founded on principles as
solid as the basis Of the eternal hills,
and must prevail. He was in the
habit of going to the post Office, few
miles from his house, to get his mail
aud hear the news from the war. n
such occasions the post master would
ask his opinion of the situation, and
have himself fortified by the old
squire's hopeful views Finally, how
ever, about the close Of the war, the
news became worse and worse, until
at last the intelligence of the surren-
der arrived. The sad tale having
been reeited to the old squire, he took
his seat and assumed q thoughtful
attitude. The post master then began
to iuterrogate him. -
"Wsll, Squire, things are looking
very dark !"
Eyes" replies the old gentleman,
every black indeed-very black"
"What will become Of US ?"' in
quires the post master; what shall we
do ?"
"WelI," says the old squire, after
drawing a long breath, ''I don't see
anything left us except to go back
into the Union, and if those Yankees
don't behave themselves, tre must
