OF Interest to tennessee Farmers.

The Nashville Banner says there
is to be a State Convention of the
Farmers of Tennessee, held at the
Capitol in this city on the 10Th of
September next. It was proposed
to the farmers of Middle and West
Tennessee by the East Tennessee
Farmers Convention which, as our
former readers have been appraised,
was a great success. The farmers
have been organizing throughout
our section and tie West, and there
have been some very interesting
meetings in this State, in addition
to the General Convention which
took place at Knoxville. Our East
Tennessee friends are very much in
crested in the proposed meeting in
this city in September and are
writing to US to urge upon our read
ers in this quarter of the State, to
cooperate with them. The move
ment is an excellent one and should
enlist the sympathies and aid of the
entire agricultural community. If
our people would manifest half as
much interest in their industrial af-
fairs as they have been won't to do
in Improbable politics, we should be
able soon to place Tennessee abreast
of the foremost of her rich and pow
erful sister States. Let the farmers
all talk the matter over among
themselves. and let them keep the
subject red-hot until September, Gull
minating with one of the liveliest
meetings we have had in this neck
of the woods for a century.

The Wilmington N. c. Journal,
discussing the oranges, says: Let
the farmers while seeking to ad-
vance their own interests, avoid in
jury to others let them also stead
lily set their faces against the pros
titution of their order to mere politi-
cal partisan purposes, and all will be
well. Let them do otherwise, and
harm, only, will come to them and
to the country at large" They
should know that while they are COM
petent as individuals to take part
in political contests, they can no
more mix farming and politics than
religion and politics can be mixed !;
in other words. they should take
warning by the fate of the Know
Nothings. The politics Of this coun-
try cannot be manipulated and con-
trolled by secret societies.

Patrick Henry once called Gov

explanation. Henry responded
Il do not recollect having called

Frank Walworth who killed his
father, in New York city, has been
sentenced to the State prison at
Sing Sing, at hard labor, for life.
Judge Davis, in addressing the pris-
oner, said he had fearful doubts
whether his case did not justify con-
viction of murder in the first degree.
The prisoner stood the trying or
deal with firmness. and without
moving muscle of his features, and
left the court with his mother i'm
mediately after the judge had con
cluded.

From the Country.

DEAR GAzETTE-It is wonderful,
sometimes, how lazy man may be-
come, and how little he can do in
the course Of day. But if any one
has worked during the year until the
limbs, brain and heart are wearied,
and then retires in July to some
country farm house, where he sees
and hears but little, he can realize
the delicious pleasure of doing moth
ing. 1 sometimes wonder why peo-
pie, during the heated term, resort
to fashionable watering places. where
they must labor as assiduously to
meet the demands of society there,
as they labored at business at home.
Give me the quiet farm house with
the sparkling, bubbling spring, the
substantial dinners, consisting of all
that is good and wholesome in the
eating line. Here you are not tram
meled by the ettiquete of fashiona-
bic society, yet you feel that there
is genuine refinement in the kind
treatment you receive. I find scatter
ed here and there in this part of
jefferson county, from Greeneville,
Morristown and Knoxville number
of families who, at a trifing ex-
pense, are enjoying life well, and
who will return in a few weeks to
their homes strengthened for the
labors of another year. Crops, on
the whole, are encouraging. Wheat
is, on many farms, partly failure.
Yet there will be a considerable
yield. Oats are fine. Meadows have
been damaged considerably by the
overflow of branches and creeks;
still there will be an immense amount
of hay. Owing to the continued
wet weather, corn has not been we'll
worked, but every indication is that
corn will be plenty. If all other
crops fail, l think there will be
enough of potatoes raised to feed
the people. Permit me, Messrs.
Editors, to say that the farmers are
the hardest workers and get the least
return for their labor of any other
class Of people; and, also, they are
more to blame than anybody. A
great many work to a disadvantage.
l observe a few men in this section
who have system, and the result is,
everything is in order and an album
dance Of all things is seen around
them; at the same time, their neigh
bors, who own the same quality of
land, are yearly becoming poorer.
The movement now attempting to be
inaugurated by agricultural societies,
farmers clubs, etc, is Of vast i'm
portance to our farmers. If all the
misdirected labor of East Tennessee
was directed in proper channels, no
country would surpass ours. Our
mineral resources are immense, our
water power is of great value, our
timber is almost inexhaustible; but
our soil, if properly cultivated, con-
tails an amount of wealth surpass-
ing them all. Oh! if our farmers
would turn their attention to scien-
tifc farming, what change we would
soon see!
The health of this community is
remarkably good. Cholera and pol
itics trouble this people about as
much as Eve and her daughters were
troubled about the size of their Gre
clan bends and the number of ruff
fes on their skirts.
When the wheat is threshed, can
give you more correct data in regard
to the amount.

A Singular Case of Devpravlty.

A letter from Greeneville to the
Knoxville Press and Herald, relates
the following:
The cholera at Greeneville has
developed few cases Of monstrous
depravity, one of which will relate
without mentioning names. An old
gentleman, probably seventy years
of age, who lived a mile or two in
the country and noted for his reck-
Iessness and his utter defiance of
the laws of God, came into town one
day, and passing down the street.
cried out that he intended to spread
the cholera over the town. He then
went to an undertaken and wanted to
know if he could make coffin and
what he would charge. The reply
was that if he wanted it before his
death, he would charge him twenty
five dollars, but if after, he would
only charge fourteen dollars. He
told him to proceed with the matter,
but to be sure to make it out of two
inch plank and leave it open at both
ends, so that if the devil comes in
at one end he could escape at the
other! That night he aoas stricken
dOaUn lcjtb the cholera, and by neat
morning GUUS @ corpse.

iron of the fsh-bar pattern, and new
