Tending His Train Against q Mob.
From the Chattanooga Times, July %.
When the breaks in the Alabama and
Chattanooga road occurred, an engine and
train of cars belonging to the Northern Di-
vision (Gen. Woff0rd's), We're cut off at
Birmingham. A. G.. Howard was the con-
ductor, and Gen. Woffo1d ordered Howard
to turn the train over to w. A. Blythe, his
agent at Birmingham, taking his receipt for
it and report to him at Chattanooga.
Gen. W., it is presumed, would have
turned the train over to II. Harding, Super
intendent of the Southern Division, if he
had asked him to do so, on giving him the
necessary receipt, as that property was in
Gen. WIS possession as an officer appointed
by the courts.
When Harding, Friday night, attempted
to take the train, Mr.. Jos. Virgins. fireman,
told him he would yield the train if he
would show him any order or instructions
from either Gen. Wofford or Col. White.
Harding replied that he had no orders
from Gen. Wofford or Col. White, nor did
he want any, and in taking forcible posses
sion of the train by his mob he caused Mr..
Virgins to be shot, who was defending his
train.
Gen. Wofford is absent at Gainesville at
present and the case will be laid before him
to day by telegraph. In the mean time
Col. White telegraphed Blythe to render
every assistance to the wounded nina,
medical aid or otherwise, and hold
the prisoners under arrest until Gen. Wof-
ford arrived.
After reading the foregoing, the following
telegram will explain itself:
BIRMINGHAM, July Eileen. Woford:
Harding took possession of the coaches
last night by force, Jas. Virgins (fireman)
tried to prevent him and he caused Virgins
to be shot. What must do in the matter?
Harding and his men are under arrest.

washington aud Lee University.

The position of this institution in the
front rank ofthe great schools oflearniHg of
this codntry is settled beyond a doubt.
Any fears at one time entertained by its
friends, of the depressing influence which
might result from the death of its great
President, Gen. r. E. Lee, have been en-
tirely dissipated by the remarkably success
Ful administration of his son, Gen. Gusts
Lee, who has proved himself every way
worthy of the great trust committed to his
hands. The session which has just closed
has been one of the most successful in the
history of the institution, and the prospects
for the next session are unusually bright, as
we infer, not only from the generally i'm
proving condition of the Southern States,
but from Information coming in on all
hands Of the growing favor ofthe University
throughout the whole country.

Died from His Wounds.

Last Wednesday night Mr.. A. T. Hig-
gins died from wounds received while try
ing to stab, with drawn knife, Elisha
Halton at Pinson, Madison county. In
regard to the difficulty, which occurr- d on
the 18th, we have obtained these particu-
lars. Under the influence of liquor Higgins
had difficulty with NJ. L. Ripley, saloon
keeper, during which bystander cried out
"Ripley, he has an open knife in his hand"
Hearing this Ripley, who has but one arm,
endeavOred to knock Higgins down by
striking him over the head with a chair.
Failing to do this, Ripley ran, closely pur-
sued By Higgins who made an effort to cut
the fugitive at every step. Passing Rays
saloon Elisha Halton who was sitting there
tried to save Ripley's life by striking Hig-
gins with chair. But scarcely staggered
by the bio v Higgins assaulted Halton, and
while in the act of striking a fatal blow
with his knife was shot by an unknown
person, the ball entering his right cheek and
after passing through the wind pipe lodged in
the back his neck. Ripley, Elisha Halton
and also John Halthorn, who was present
when the fatal shot was fred, were arrested,
but upon being tried Wednesday (when
twenty witnesses were exalDined) released,
because the evidence failed to point out the
guilty person that did the shooting. Hig-
gins, who is said to be pleasant when sober
and agreeable to every one, but reckless and
overbearing when drunk, moved from
Middle Tennessee since the war, to Harde-
man county, and had been living three
years in Madison at the time of his death.
The deceased leaves wife but no children.

The Murderer Of Frank Gny

Robert ii. Spain and Joseph Fossett, the

Guy, last Saturday evening, near the Lewis

ulars of which occurrence were published

were yesterday brought out of jail and
taken before Justice Wilkinson for COM
hitting trial. The accused were not ready
for the preliminary hearing, and it was
therefore deferred until o'clock Wednes-
day morning, Justice Wilkinson raising the
bond required OF Spain to 5000, and al
lowing that Of Fossett to remain at 81, coo,
as originally placed. Neither of the de-
PENDANTS being prepared to give the requi-
site security, they were sent back to Jail.

A Military COMPANY.

To the Editorof the Union aud American:
Have the good people of Nashville for
gotten the old and well known ''Rock City
Guards" The dress parades and drills
that We used TO have before the war? How
pleasant it used to be in years gone by for
the citizens 10 take their families TO witness
the parades of the different companies on
The Public Square. There are many young
men who would become members of COM
pany if one were raised, and there are gem
tlemen- graduates of military schools
who would willingly give the instruction
necessary. Let the young men of our city
do something. Almost every city of any
size has an organization Of this kind, and
why must Nashville he unlike them? viii

who Will he Constable ?

Mr.. EDITOR-I notice that we have six
white candidates in the field for constable
in the Nashville District, against John Nc
Gowan, colored, the present incumbent.
The Radicals have already held a meeting,
and chosen MCGOWAN as their candidate,
and will vote single shot and solidly
for the choice of the late convention. With
the numerous white candidates for the pos
ition, it seems to be an easy matter to de-
eide the result, unless some effort is made
TO concentrate on the best men. 1t is a
responsible position, AMI our citizans gen.
orally are interested IN having the position
filed by good men. A word to the wise is
sufficient. A VOTER.

Suspicious

Two suspicious looking characters have
recently been seen in the vicin ty of the old
Shelby residence 10 Edgefield, WHO il is said
remain in the woods during the day, and
for the past week have been seen about 4
o'clock in the morning, coming out of an
unfinished house in that neighoorhood. On
last Saturday the owner of the new house
moved INTO bis building, and at late hour
that night heard noise which attracted his
attention. Going into an adjoining room,
he saw one of these men, and asking him
what he wanted, he said he was looking for
his partner. The gentleman told him that
his premises wasn't any place for him or
his partner either, and to get out, which he
did. They need watching.

Qufck Work.

The members of Deluge Fire Company
had their steamer out on the public square
yesterday eveUing, giving our citizens gen.
orally an idea of what they know about the
fire business. In five minutes and fifteen
seconds, and with cold water and no arti-
fetal means, they raised 70pounds of steam.
This is the fastest time they ever made,
having on previous trial raised the same
amount of steam in five minutes and TWEEN
ty seconds. We believe the time yesterday
is rarely If ever beat, and it shows the ac-
tivity of our fire department, and this COM
pany in particular. Some Of the ether COM
panies, We dare say, will show a disposition
to test their skill, and reduce, if possible, the
time.

Col. j. Ii. Cooke.
From the Memphis Appeal.


The gentleman whose name appears
above is now in our city. lie is candidate
to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Bench,
occasioned by theresignation OF Hon. i. A.
Z. Nelson.
Col. Cooke stands at the head of Lis pro-
fession in East Tennessee, where he has
practiced for more than twenty-five years
He comes to West Tennessee strongly in
dorsed by the bar and the people OF his end
of the State where lie is best known. He
has had but little opportunity to make the
personal acquaintance either OF the mem
bers of the bar or citizens generally N this
end of the State, and consequently has to
rely upon the reputation he sustaIns, both
as lawyer aud gentleman in that portion
of the State which has been the theater OF
his labors during bis whole life. Without
disparaging the claims Of Judge Mcfarland,
we can say of a truth 10 the voters OF West
Tennessee, that should Col. Cooke be
elected to the position 10. which he aspires,
an able, efficient, l..boTious and upright
Judge will fill the vacant seat Of Judge
Nelson.
Col. Cooke lives in Chattanooga. Judge
Deaderick and Judge Mcfarland both live
in the same section of East Tennessee.
The citizens of the western portion OF East
Tennessee, where Col. Cooke resides, think
that one of the judges should come from
that section A card, signed by quite
number of the members Of the bar Of West
Tennessee, was published in our paper
some DAYS since, speaking in deserving
terms of the capabilities of Judge McFar-
land. Whilst the friends of Col. Cooke
are willing to accord to Judge Mcfarland
all that is said of him, they at the same time
claim for Col. Cooke no inferiority in any
of those attributes necessary to fill the
highest judicial position in Tennessee, and
the bar and the people IF East Tennessee
would be far from discriminating between
Judge Mcfarland and Col Cooke, at least
to the prejudice of the latter.
The fact is, no man stands highe. and en-
joys a more enviable reputation than Col.
j. Burch Cooke. He stands and has stood
for quarter of century in the very front
rank of the profession. Should he be elect
cd, he would adorn the place once filed by
Reece, a McKenny, and Nelson.

Vitalize the Hair.-Why does the hair
become harsh and dry-why does it fall
out-why does it become gray? Simply
because the life has gone cut Of it. The
fbers draw sustenanee from the scalp as
the grass draws aliment from the soil, and
when the supply of sutriment is cut off in
either case, the product withers and dies.
At the first symptom Of decay, therefore,
unfed or half fed roots of the hair should
be refreshed and reinforced with Lyons
Ksthairon, the only preparation which will
nourish the flaments and keep them in a
vigorous condition after they have begun to
suffer from a deficiency of their natural
stimulant. As long as the Kathairon is
faithfully used, with proper degres Of fric-
ton, morning and evening, SO long viii it
be impossible for the hair to whiten or fall
out from the scalp. jy30 deodlw&w1t
