The Fire La Gafnshora.

A correspondent furnishes US with fur
ther particulars of the fire at Gainsboro, to
which reference was made in our issue Of
yesterday: 1t is as follows:
To the Editor Of the Union and American:
GAINsBoRo, Tenn, Aug. Is, 1S72-Be
tween one and two o'clock last night the
Courthouse at this place was discoVed in
flames. The fire had made such progress
before its discovery that it was impossible
to save it or any of its contents, the flames
having, from the appearances, evidently
been kindled in the attic, and the offices all
being up stairs, the records of the Circuit
and County Courts, all of the Registers
books, and portion, ifnot all of the Coun-
ty Surveyors books, were destroyed, leav-
ing our county blank so far as public re-
cords are concerned, except those of the
Chancery Court. Thus by the torch of an
unknown incendiary, Jackson county is
almost ruined.
The stiffness of the night probably saved
the whole village of GainsbOro from de-
struction. Yours truly, G. II. ID.

The river was again receding yesterday
with feet scant on Harpeth Shoals. Wea-
Their very warm in the morning, but by the
aid Of a refreshing shower in the afternoon,
was more pleasant.
No movement Of steamers.
The following which we extract from the
Paducah Ne,cs of the 18th, shows that the
good people down there are also interested
in having a little Of that Tennessee river
chicken pie in theirs. That paper says:
The Dick johnson, the steam T plying
in the Tennessee river trade between Dan
vile and Florence, is said to be doing ga
smashing business" that her trade is stead
liz increasing, and that another boat will
soon be put in that trade to "help her ouL."
knowing these to be facts, would it not be
well for our merchants to look into these
matters little closer than heretofore and
get ''some of this in theirs" True, we
have as good steamer in that trade, conf
manded by as efficient steamSOatmen as
can be found in the West, but do we give
the trade the attention that it merits No
Louisville, Evansville and St. Louis arr
making great efforts to procure the monop
DIV of this trade-each city having boat
plying between Florence and their respect
i've ports-and il there is not greater sx-
ertion made by the merchants of Paducah
they will have the Exquisite pleasure" Of
seeing these cities accomplish their aim.
As it is, she might as well "shut up shop''
, and withdraw from the contest" Our
merchants should think these things over,
pay less attention to ''blows" about rail-
roads, put more energy into the contest Tor
the monopoly of the Tennessee Ever trade,
and our word for it, it will pay and pay
| well.

Death of a Well Known Citizen,

VIM. Wilson, well-known citizen, died
at the Lunatic Asylum yesterday morning
at O'Clock. For many years past be had
been Familiarity known as Bill Wilson, the
fiddler, and was at the head Of one of the
best Sends In the country. About year
ago, he joiIed the Christian church, aban-
doned his calling, which had been to him a
source of great enjoyment, and commenced
preaching, with all the elements of making
an effective and popular minister. He de-
voted himself studiously to his new calling,
and under the laborious task before him his
mind became affected, and he was removed
to the Asylum, where he fell victim to
consumption. Mr.. Wilson was a resident
of North Edgefeld, and represented the 9th
ward in the Board of Aldermen.

The Heat,

Day after day the citizens of Nash
vile have been looking forward with
high hopes to the time when the weather
should become cooler. But the higher they
get their hopes, the higher the thermometer
gets, until wearied with disappointed ex-
pectations they are gradully becoming re-
signed to their fate. Ali day yesterday
men might he seen going about their BUSH
ness, at anything but rapid gait, fans or
handkerchiefs in hand, the principal topic
of conversation when they met friends,
being the extreme heat. True to that trite
saying that "misery loves company" they
usually parted consoled by the fact that Sin
New York yesterday it was 100 deg. in the
shade" About o'clock fresh breeze
sprung up accompanied by a slight shower
which did great deal toward subduing the
thermometer, and bringing comfort to the
Wearied CITY,

Crops In Smith County.

A correspondent writes from Bagdad, on
the 10Th inst, as follows:
Our crops are very promising. Corn in
this sectien is as good as we ever saw it.
We have had plenty of rain at the proper
time. There will be an abundance of corn
made without another shower of rain.
There is more tobacco growing in this
county than has been grown for many years,
and all looks fine. We have a large amount
of wheat to spare, but are entirely destitute
in the means of transportation until the
Cumberland river rises in the fall or winter.
There will be good crop of mast of all
kinds to fatten our hogs. People generally
are overstocked with hogs, and no buyers.
We are in a better condition now than we
have been in since the war. People gem
orally are out of debt and nave something
to spare.

A Roarss Reason.

A few miles from the Katahdin Iron
Works, in Maine, is log cabin in which
some meat was stored; but large bear who
happened round, fearing that it would
spoil before eaten, thought he might
as well have taste for himself. Accordingly
he cautiously approached the hut and tried
to push the door open but failing in this be
went to the windows, which were closed by
shutters, aud removed one from each side
of the cabin, for the sole purpose no doubt
of making sure his retreat, for if attacked
from one widow he could then jump from
the other and so escape. He then went and
took a piece of meat and departed as he
came. This game was go cleVerly performed
that the owners of the cabin, Eho were
concealed in the bushes near by, let the cid
fellow depart in peace.
