one, and commands = splendid timber
region. AS soon as their mill Is In op-
Grafton they will commence the con-
struction Of a tlume from the mill to
the mouth Of Prusser Greek, where the
railroad will be reached. This tiume
will be- six or seven miles in length,
aud of sufficient capacity to transport
all the lumber and timOcr they may
have occasion to saw. They will have
IN abundance Of water at all seasons
of the year to run their mill and float
their lumber, and we do not see how
they can fail Of success
The Truckee Lumber Company have
laid the foundation for a large addi-
ton to their door and sash factory.
The addition is to DO IS feet long by
10 feet wide, aud two stories In height.
They will have q side track from the
railroad to run through the center Of
the Building for their accommodation.
They have also just procured a new
four-sided moulding machine, a YAM
k-e Invention, which cost only 800,
and can plane four sides OF a stick Of
timber at the same time. and under the
manipulation Of q skillful workman
perform a great variety Of useful feats

FOR THE cIAMaND FIELDS,

The new diamond fields of Arizona,
says the Eureka Sentinel Of last
Friday, was all the talk In this
section yesterday. All OF the adven-
turous spirits In town have got the
fever bad. Some Of our p]rospectOrs
talk as flippantly about cart loads Of
diamonds as they would about All equal
amount Of base bullion. Judging from
the general tone Of conversation our
boys will hardly look at such tribes rs
rubies and emeralds. when they reach
the new Golconda. In fact 1t Is very
doubtful whether they couldb e induced
to pick up a diamond Of less proper
tlon than the celebrated Kohlnor.

Mr., Greeley,s Business Faculty.

The statement of Mr.. Philip May, a
German, to the editor of the Knoxville
CHRONICLE, explaining how he was de-
ceived into investing, by the advice of
Horace Greeley, in a colony in North Car
DINA, and how disastrously that scheme
affected himself and his fellow-dupes, has
been published in the Times. The story
has ELECTED from the Chicago Times this
comment: One of Mr.. Greeley's victims
has risen up in evidence against him. 1t
has been pretty well understood for some
time that whenever a swindling adventur-
er wanted to organize colony for the pur-
pose of selling useless tract of land that
he had more or less uncertain title to, all
that was necessary was to tickle Mr.. Gree
ley's vanity represent that it was a splen-
did opportunity for working men, and
forthwith, he orally and through the col
umns of the New York Tribune, would
endorse it in all respects, and commend it
to the favor of the public without reserve.
Hence the grievances which Mr.. Philip
May recently reeited to the editor of the
Knoxville CHRONICLE. Now. it is not
supposed that Mr.. Greeley profted in the
remotest degree by this fraudulent scheme;
but how monstrous to elect as President of
the United States man who could be so
easily duped as to lend himself to such an
imposition !"-NetU York Times, 26th.

The New York Ndtion-another of the
" Reform journals-also calls upon Gratz
Brown to withdraw from theiGreeley tick
ct. Reviewing his penitential letter, it
says:
az We find it little difficult to make out
the meaning of all this, but we take it to
be that, while the statement of the clerk
was correct as to the main fact, it was err
roneous as to some of the incidents, and
that what liquor Mr.. Brown took during
the evening he took as defense against
premonitory symptoms of cholera; that
when engaged in the discharge of official
duties he takes nothing stronger than wa
ter. We have no wish to press hard on
him in this matter, but it is very serious
matter, and after what happened on the
4th of March, 1865, calls for plain speech
We feel obliged to say, therefore, that the
frequency with which attacks of certain
classes of disease are now put forward as
an excuse for intoXication has deprived
that plea of its value. a man who is liza
pie TO get drunk every time he has a tooth
ache or stomach ache, or a touch of neu-
ralgia, is therefore not fit for high and
conspicuous public Office, and ought not to
be entrusted with it; and u a0OuLd be q
proper and graceful thing for Mr.. BroWn
to withdraw his infrnlities from public
discussion by withdrawing his name from
the Greeley ticket.n

Thin Seeding Better than Thick Seeding

in plots where one bushel to the acre is
sown the proportionate yield is greater
than on fields where two bushels are sown
1t is estimated there are from 100000 to
100000 grains in bushel of wheat--say
100000. There are 6,273, $40 square inches
in an acre. Using one bushel per acre
there would be about one seed to each nine
and one-third square inches. Suppose
each plant to tiller nine or ten fold land it
most certainly will, under halfway favor
able conditions), it gives one stalk or head
10 the square inch, which is many more
than can mature under the most favorable
circumstances. 1t is, therefore, plain that
one bushel of good seed per acre is a super
abundance. In sowing two we waste one,
even though it does not DECREASE the yield.

The Organs RaIlying for Cheatham.

The Organs" Raiiying for Cheatham.
From the Hartsville videttel
We place at our masthead this morning,
the name of General Il. +. Cheatham, for
Congress for the State at large. la doing
preference for eX-President. AS our coun-
ty convention refused to Instruct the dele
gates for Andy, by voting down a resOlu-
tod offered by Mr.. Johnson, of this place,
we think the people of Trousdale county
duty bound to support the nominee, the
county having been committed to him by
her delegates in the late convention and
if under no other consideration, which is
a great one, the preservation and organiza-
ton of the party, whose rights and prin-
ciples we have so long contended for.
From the Union City Courier.l
We nail TO our masthead to-day the
name of General Cheatham as the choice
of the Democracy of Tennessee for Con-
gresham from the State at large. For
thirty years his name has been identified
with the history of Tennessee, and with
the honor and renown Her sons have won
on every battlefield, from Monterey to the
City of Mexico, and from Belmont to the
closing scenes of our dreadful civil war.
Foremost in war, by reason of his high
courage, wisdom and sagacity which form
the military leader; the same courage, wis
dom, and sagacity, the patriotic self-devo-
ton, point him out as eminently qualified
to be our standard bearer in the civil strife
now waging for the restoration of the
rights and liberties, peace and prosperity,
of our country.

laundering their batteries at Andy.
The Memphis appeal is an organ. In
this exigency " it is not on the fence. 1t
speaks out and we may say speaks as an
organ should. In its issue of the 2lth it
thunders at Andy in this style:
What stormy career is this of Andrew
Johnson If he could win in the terrible
struggle upon which he is just entering,
a result wholly impossible, he has only be-
gun new life of ceaseless intellectual COM
bats, and he becames immortal as the po-
litical prize-fighter of the age. He abhors
Ben. Butler, and the willy Massachusetts
Congressman will have for the first time
an antagonist as solid as the everlasting
rock-ribbed mountains whose rugged mai
esty first lent inspiration to Johnson's ge-
MUS. But of what avail is all this? What
good can come of it? Would Tennessee
or the South gain aught by sending up to
Washington a keg of nitro-glycerine?
Would the "bloody chasm " close its re-
voting jaws more rapidly if Johnsons
fearful diatribes upon the government of
Grant and Grants hideous morals and
practices be opened up in the House of
Representatives? What can the South or
the country gain of tranquility or peace
viii he secure the enactment of measures
Of practical benificence? An adherent of
Grant would not vote Grant money or pups
if the proposition came from Andrew
johnson. Cheatham will soon win the
same place and potency in Congress that
he holds among the people. He will be as
popular in Washington as he was in the
army, and is to-day among the people of
his own country. Of the two men, Cheat
ham is infinitely more capable of serving
practically, his constituents. Andrew
johnson exhausts his usefulness when he
imparts to the people philosophical views
of American theories of government as
wise and statesmanlike as those of the
fathers of constitutional law, and, while
Mr.. johnson as a candidate, is worthy of
an audience, as a Congressman he can
serve us in nothiug.

The West Virginia Election.

The result of the West Virginia election,
including the defeat Of the new Constitu-
ton and the success of Governor Jacob,
are regarded in Washington both satisfac-
tory and raging to the Republican
party. The victorious party, though not
opponents of Greeley, and will evidently
follow the Louisville movement with con-
siderable unanimity. The election thus
practically assures division of the Gree
ley strength, which will very likely result
in the loss of the State in November.

SIEGULARCATTLED IsEAsE.-The farm
ers OF Berke county, Pa, report singular
disease among the cattle. Within few
weeks number have gone blind, some in
one eye, but most of them in both eyes.
One farmer has twelve head, some entire
ly blind, and others partially so. One calf
at three days old, never out of the stable,
lost its sight. On some farms two, three
and four are victims of the disease. The
nerve of the eye seems to die from within,
and the eye becomes white. Horses have
thus far escaped the affiiction.
