VAR

Referring to the forth coming
work of Gen. Joseph f. Johnstonon
his campaigns in the late civil war,
which is announced as soon to issue
from the press of ID. Appleton & Co,
the New York World says:
This is careful and deliberate
account from the pen of Gen. Joseph
T.. Johnson, of the Confederate
army, ct the events which preceded
his removal. from the command Of
the Southern forces operating against
Gen. Sherman in Tennessee and
Northern Georgia. Military men
hsye 'l0rg-been aware of the decisive
effect Of that removal in favor of
General ShermanSnd of the Union
Cgerse. 1t was the personal act OF
Jefferson Davis, resolved upon and
carried out by him in defiance of the
counsel and in contempt of the re-
lnonstrances of the ablest soldiers OF
the Southern a my; and as General
Johnston can have nomOtive now for
withholding the whole truth in re-
gard to the matter, the story he has
TO tell will lave n real value for the
political as well for the military his,
tory Of the great American conflict.

Stock SALE.-A public sale of six
or eight head of fine Kentucky cat
tie was made on Tuesday, of last
week at Rogersville, on a credit of
twelve months without interest. A
very fine 8 years old hull brought
$42; a fine milk COW, six years old,
that cost the owner $50 in Kentucky
two years ago, was let slide at $50 ;
two handsome heifers sold for, one
$I8 and the other $31-this last was
purchased by our young friend w. s.
Kyle, of that county, and is beauty.
The prices ruling is an evidence OF
the financial pressure, which seems
to be more oppressive upon the farm
ing than any other interest.

There is no subject of more alb

that can reasonably be accomplished
this year is that of merely " blazing
out the way and, perhaps, getting
some of the foundation stones set
tied. If our people are true to
themselves our public schools will
prove a success. Public schools OF
high character may under the pres
ent system, be organized and main
tanned. especially i'll our towns, at a
very slight expense beyond the pub

ploy first class teaching talent.
The fund known as the" Peabody
Fund is as accessible to us as to
any Others when we bring ourselves
within the rule, This could have
been easily done the present year IN
our own town, but for want Of the
necessary school building. OF this
