find their way to the Northern markets con-
slsts principally of potatoes, tomatoes and on
ions from Bermuda and Florida, aud these are
exhausted by the time that Charleston enters
the field. North of this place, Wilmington

one month Charleston holds the undisputed
control of the Northern markets In the way OF
Vegetables, The consumers will have their
early vegetables, and the dealers must look
to Charleston tor their supply during the In

Virginia, and long before Delaware, New Jer-

items.
One night last week a Miss Lyon, in
company with her father, who lives a few
miles north of Messy Creek, committed a
most dreadful act. During the night she
left the house, and going into the garden,
gave birth to child. She claims that the
child was still-born, but, whether so or
not, she left it there exposed until morn
ing. In the morning, her father, finding
the child dead. took it into thicket and
covered it up with some trash. In a day
or so, some small boys found the body of
the infant half eaten up by dogs. They
revealed the discovery, and the guilty
parties were brought TO trial and lodged in
cambridge Jail.
Granger county is grand chinquapin

Facts About Niagara,

From Professor Cummings Article in the Popular Sci
ence Monthly for September.
THE FLOW OF WATER OVER NIAGARA.
Another element in the problem Of Nj
agara's age is the flow Of water. To con-
struct scale from the present and apply
it to the past, we should know that the
amount Of water in past ages has been es-
sentially the same as now.
About $500 cubic miles of water-nearly
half the fresh water on the globe-are in
the upper lakes, and 10000 cubic feet
Of this plunge over Niagara Falls every
minute, all the waters of the lakes max
ing the circuit of the falls, the st. Law
renee, the ocean, vapor, rain and lakes
again, in lbs years. Through the Illinois
Canal about 5000 cubic feet of water are
taken every minute from Lake Michigan,
to the Illinois river; through the We'll
land Canal IA 900 cubic feet flow every
minute from Lake Erie into Lake Onta-
rio, and through the Erie Canal 80, 600 GU
bic feet pass every minute from the same
lake into the Hudson. Thus $1,000 cubic
feet Of water, which Nature would give
to Niagara, are diverted every minute by
artificial channels, into some Mexican
gulf and some into the bay of New York
Add this to Is, 600, 600, it is as drop in the
bucket, and would make no appreciate
difference in the character of the falls o.
their rate of recession.

BLOODY AFrRAY.
A Wan has his IIead Crushed.

The Jonesboro' Flag has received infor-

took place on Tuesday morning last, on

warrant for the purpose of apprehending a
man who had escaped from the penitentiary
at Nashville, named Francis Crumley, for
whom reward was offered. The officer
had summoned, among his posse, Mr.. VIM.
Floyd, who, il seems, knew something of
the whereabouts of the said Crumley. They
proceeded to the residence of Mr.. Dennis
Nolan, who resided on Frazier Branch,
and commenced to search his premises.
Here a dispute arose between Mr.. Floyd,
one of the party, and Mrs. Nolan, Floyd
asserting that he had seen Crumley at No

Renaissance Of John Bell.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Sept. 4.
In 1856 Il have forgotten the year, my
daughter was on visit to her grandmoth-
er, Mrs. James Crockett, who is a sister of
the late John Bell, of Tennessee. Being in
Nashville on business, and learning that
Mr.. Bell and family were in the act of leav-
ing the city with aview of settling on their
farm on the Cumberland, they went down
TO the boat on which he had taken passage.
They found him very feeble indeed. Upon
being introduced to my daughter, he was
asked by his sister if he did not remember
me- as an old line Wing, and one Of the
conductors of the Franklin Weekly ReCteto.
He said, ''Oh, yes. l remember him well, /"
He was then told that was also a Union
man. This seemed to reanimate him, and
the old fire came back to his almost glazed
eyes, when he replied, a." Did you say he
was Union man, Martha" speaking TO
his sister, Eyes" was her response.
"And was he firm" responded the old dy-
ing patriot. Yes" again replied Mrs.
Crockett. Laying his hand upon the arm
of his sister, he responded with emphasis,
4" II Is pity that there had not been more
Of them. He has longer head than
have" These were almost the last words
Of that remarkable of Tennessee's great
men, and showed the drift of his feelings
and thoughts in reference to the great con
test through which we have passed.

great need 10.
The Only change in Wheat is that it is frmer
than at last quotations.
Very little trading in Corn, except for local
demand.
No transactions in Oats. Farmers are wait
ing for a rise. Some little demand for Hay, but
only to supply city demand.
Flour remains firm at quotations, with little
demand. The supply at present ID from neigh
boring mills, and there will probably be no
change in prices until the upper counties begin
to make shipments.

A DANGEROUS MAN.
BY CORPORAL BUMP.

Mr.. Sumner says Grant is a bold, bad, dar
gerous man.-NccspGpcr
"a bold, bad man is General Grant"
Said Floyd one gloomy night,
As out from Donelson he crept
And took his hasty fight.
From Pillows trembling lips there came
An echo sounding much the same,
And Buckner thought his chief was right,
Nor longer burst maintain the flight
And then came down the rebel bars"
And from the fort hung stripes and stars,
That Grant dangerous man." said they,
And doubtless think the same to-day.
a bold, bad man is Genera! Grant"
Said Beauregard one morn,
AS from the naughty traitors brow
The victor wreath was torn
And from the field his legions went
By orders General Grant had sent.
Then Shiloh's field was ours again.
Despite the host of rebel men,
Who came an army Boosting loud,
But went panc-stricken crowd
For Beauregard and all his men
Perhaps thought Grant was dangerous then
"a bold, bad man is General Grant
Said Pemberton one day;
"Entreaties are of no avail,
He will not 90 away.
A stubborn, mulish, dangerous man.
He wants our rebel hides TO tan"
Until the rebel flags came down;
And then our banners, rent and torn,
Were through the streets of Vicksburg borne.
The bold bad man." that glorious Fourth,
Sent gladstone tidings to the North.
"a bold, bad man is General Grant"
And poor Bragg eyes were dim
With tears said he, II know
tbs useless fighting him"
And soon the cheers from Grants brave men
On Lookouts crest told where and when
The rebel General had TO run,
And what that bold, bad man" had done.
That Grants dangerous man ~
As from the field his army ran.
"A bold, bad man is General Grant," I..f
Said Lee. That plain to see
He must be very bold, indeed,
To think of whipping me"
Then Petersburg and Richmond fell
Then AppomattoX-may be-well,
At last our hero's work was done
The final victory was won.
Perhaps the people may forget
These things, but then, they haven't yet.
They needed, then, such dangerous men,
And think, perhaps they may again.
"A bold, bad, dangerous man is Grant,"
JEFF. Davis thought the same,
When running of in crinoline,
lie to the last ditch came.
a Kuklux's gentle voice is heard,
And-'Grant is dangerous is averred.
1t needs must be that this is so,
For all these rebels ought to know.
Then Hall and Tweed-good honest men
Say "Garnt is bold and bad, and when
Such men declare it, then, forsooth,
Folks know that Sumner tells the truth.

KNOXVILLE, Sept. 2, 1872.
Hon. Vim. Spence
DEAR SIR: regret that am not able
to attend the Republican State Conven-
ton. / have no wish to dictate as to the
course TO be pursued by the convention.
NY own opinion il that we should run a
man for every position to be filed, from
Governor down but you to compose the
convention-fresh from the people in all
parts of the State-can better judge OF the
policy or impolicy Of such action than /.
In no event should we, as Republicans,
take up and adopt as our candidate any
man who does not support Grant and
Wilson.
Allow me, in conclusion, TO congratulate
you and the members OF the convention on
the favorable auspices under which you
assembled.
Al no time, hitherto, in Tennessee OF
throughout the country, have the prospects
of the national Republican party been
brighter and more glorious than now.
''Victory is in the air." as the New York
Tribune said before the North Carolins
election, and the glorious Republican vic
| tory which was in the North Carolina ali
pervades the atmosphere in all parts Of the
country.
/ have no idea that Greeley and Brown
will carry more than six or seven States
and the corrupt coalition which brough
about their candidacy will be more dis
gracefully beaten than has ever been an,
party in the history Of this county.
Our grand old party could beat the Ku
klux Democracy if it were reinforced b.
forty times the Greeley apostates who rail-.
10 its piratical flag.
Very respectfully,
