only that, but as | have said before, the
farms have generally good, substantial fen
css around them; ii therefore would be such
a sudden and complete change as to create
great confusion. Man is naturally a very
selfish creature, which probably he should
be, and so long as he only has to take care
of his own crop, he will keep up his fences,
but when he has to take care Of other peO-
pies crops by keeping his stock in lots,
he viii be careless and Indifferent, plrticu-
larry when it is at great pecuniary sacrifice
they are enclosed. One might argue that if
the penalty was severe enough, the people
would observe the law strictly. We would
say there was never any law however great
the penalty, but was frequently violated.
Such law as this would damage such
great number of people, and there would be
so many reasons for breaking it that it
would either add numberless cases of litiga-
ton to our already oyercrOwded dockets, or
be entirely imperative. The happiest peo-
pie are the freest from law consistent with
good government. And if the time had
come when it was to the interest Of the
people of this State to enclose their stock,
there would be a general Glamour for such
a law, instead of a few isolated cases. The
masses know their interest and are geneT-
ally right, and if there was any
necessity for such a law, the Rep
resentatives would hear it from
every section of the State, and woe be to
the representative that imposes such a bur-
den upon the farmers. In moving the
fences already made the farmer would have
One-half the work to do that it would take
to build new ones, beside that, for the
farmers TO keep their stock enclosed on the
overfiOwed lands, they would have to re-
build their fences every freshet, which would
be never ending labor on that portion of
/ the community. There are also a great
Nmany who have no land, this law would
cut them off from raising any stock what
ever, and finally, after summing up all the
difficulties that would spring from such a
law, we are forced 10 the conclusion that it
would ruin large portion of the cOmmuni-
ty, and almost stop stock raising in some
sections of the State. We believe the crook
ed rail fence the cheapest, and best where
there is plenty of timber. f. R. S.

FENCE LAW-THE OTHER SIDE.
It gratifes us to receive and publish the
following communication on the other side
of the fence question. We want free and
full discussion of the whole subject, so as
to arrive at the truth. We hope our cor
respondent will be able to show that the
amount of stock running at large is sufn-
Gent to compensate for the expenditure of
S28,0O0,0O0 every ten years to prevent their
depredations upon the crops:
Would it be economy for the farmers Of
Tennessee to build lots for their stock and
do away the present system of fencing?
This subject has been agitated for two or
three years in this State. A bill for that
purpose has been before the last two Cen
eral Assemblies, and the last time it came
very near being passed into law. 1t is Of
great Importance to the whole people, and
we think they ought to discuss it fully, and
understand it in all Of its bearings, before
they suffer their representatives to enact
such law. The farmers generally have
coed substantial fences around the
land which they have in cultivation.
They have the rock, rail and hedge fence.
In some portions of the State, particularly
the Middle Division, where the land is all
under fence, and the most of it cleared, the
people would receive some benefit from such
an act, and l suppose a majority of them
would be in favor of it. But in the East
ern Division, a large part is barren and
mountainous, also thinly settled, and the
farmers incomes are mostly derived from
stock raising. Those large bodies of wild
l,n hoe for
sheen in the United States. In the West
ern Division one fourth of the land is sub
iect to overflow, so much so that it cannot
be brought into cultivation for half cen
tury with the amount oflabor we now have.
These bottoms afford the finest
kind Of grazing, both cane and grass
growing in the greatest abundance,
the cane affording fine winter pasturage.
In fact, Providence has so arranged our
beautiful State that it is the most convent
ent one we know of. Eastern Tennessee
has her mountains for grazing convenient
TO her beautiful valleys. West Tennessee
has large bodies of low lands, joining the
rich table lands. Now if we undertake TO
raise our stock from grass sOwn on pOr-
ton of our cleared land, One-toUrth Of the
land would be of no service except the
timber. It seems to me it would be thwart-
ing the designs of Providence, and would
bear very hard upon great many poor
men who only have a very small tract of
land, which is mostly in cultivation They
would have so much of their land in grass
that there would not be enough left for
their support.
Numbers living aiongthe borders OF Llsse
tota0ms who have great many stock, could
rot possibly fence them in. and ave them

AMOURS OF JOHN WESLEY.

The Women Beloved by the Great
Apostle of MethOdism Retter Luck
I'm Converting than I'm Making Love
TO the Female Persuasion.
Mr.. Tyerman, in his recently published
life of John Wesley, the founder of Method
ism, tells the story of his love affairs very
fairly and fully. They constitute rather a
remarkable chain of episodes, showing that
the apostle of the Methodists had an amor
Gus heart, where the women were concern
ed. The first occurrence was during his
mission to Georgia, where he formed deep
attachment to Miss Sophia Hopkey, niece
Of the chief magistrate of the colony. The
earlier biographies of Wesley represent the
affair as involving conspiracy on the part
Of the young lady and her friends against
the reputation and even the virtue of the
youthful ascetic-instructioD having been
given her (they say to encourage him by
all means, and even ''to deny him moth
ing" But so unlikely an account is now
discredited, and is totally disclaimed by
Tyerman. Certain it is that Wesley was
deeply in love; certain, too, that he referred
the case to his Moravian friends, who
decided accordingly that he should proceed
no further in the matter, and he is said to
have acquiesced, saying, "The will of the
Lord be DONE" However this may have
been (and it seems doubtful whether he
voluntarily gave up his attaehment), the
sequel is equally strange. For we find him
a few months after publicly refusing the
sacrament to this same lady Chen married
to Mr.. Williamson) when she presented
herself at the Lords table. The grounds
of his refusal have never been cleared up;
but it was largely in consequence of this
behavior that he drew on himself the odium
and persecution which drove him out of
Georgia.
For some years after this he persisted
in
HIS RESOLUTION OF CELEBACY,
a resolution which certainly was most adj
visabIe for one who had embraced life of
self-denial, labor, and homelessness. In
1743, too, he published his Thoughts on
Single Life" extolling that state as the
privilege, if not the duty, of all who were
capable of receiving it; and three years
after, in a public hymn, which is clearly au-
photographed, expressed himself as fol-
lows:

THE Milwaukee Sentinel says OF the
Connecticut election
SIT is generally supposed that the Dem,
ocrats borrowed the Missouri sorehead
platform entire. A careful examination
reveals that an important phrase was emit,
ted. The relormers OF Missouri declared
themselves faithful now, as they were IN
the dark days of the civil war, to the true
principles of Republicanism.' of course,
the Connecticut allies OF the rebels struck
out that confession Schurz d 70. hoped
to get followers to injure the admnistra-
ton only by profession OF Republican prin-
ciples. Those principles are to the Demo-
Gratis like holy water to the ancient gentle
man that limps.' Yet it is hoped that
soreheads and copperheads may be united
IN opposition to Grant. 1t is obvious
that the wish is father to the thought.
Politics, like. misery, sometimes make
strange bed-fellows. Ii the sorehead lead
.ers accept copperhead platform containing
a confession of Republican principles, then
honest, consistent Democrats will abandon
the organization. The dilemma is inevta-
BILE, and is not pleasant one to contem
plate. The soreheads are likely enough tt
Be sold. We have seen an account OF 9
Central American 'commander-in-chief o
revolutionary forces,'. who was arraignet
for treason, and questioned as to the strength
of his army. He responded that it num-
bered seven all told, officers and men. w {
venture to prophesy that Senator Schuri
will find himself in the same predlcamen
before the year closes"
