MARYvILLE, Aug 1S.-On Tuesday, r.
P. McReynolds, Deputy Sheriff, bad custo-
dv of q prisoner named Brewer, awaiting
trial at the office of Samuel TuIoch, Esq,
in the vicinity of Brick Mills, when e
brother of the prisoner and an accomplish
named Ryder came near, while Mickey
nolds was not suspectiDg any trouble. Ry-
der succeeded in coming close behind him,
and seized him around the chest ard arms
holding him SO fast that he could not get
his hand to his pisol;jat the same time the
brother of the prisoner drew pistol and
threatened TO shoot McReYDolds if he did
not keep still or if be made any noise to
call assistance. McReynolds, however,
did not heed his threats, and Gale
loudly ,or help,at the same time using
his knife, with which he had been whit
fling, to the best advantage on RYd, RS arms,
and continued to dosso until Ryder could
hold no longer when he LEI loose of the
officer. and he and the prisoners broth
er ran of, the prisoner having left soon afGe-
the difficulty began. About the lime they
started off Esq. TullOck came to the scene
of action, which was short distance from
the house, and found McReynolds in the
act of firing on the fleeing parties, when the
Justica forbade him, which ended the matter
for the time. On Wednesday night, Sheriff
E mondson with posse Of men succeeded
in capturing the parties who rescued the
prisoners, and on Thursday was bringing
them to trial at Maryvllle, when Brewer
again made his escape and has not made
his appearance yet. Ryder came on and

The Edinburgh Revieto, for July, 1873,
contains an extend d article on the "Tre-

interested readers on this side of the water.

some light on dark subject. Then come
"Baron HubDer's Trip Around the World,'

somewhat heavy 10 us in America. But
''the approaching transit of Venus" is an
admirable statement Of the great scientific

A sad state of Affairs,

At this time great deal is said against
the sin Of drinking. Preachers denOunce it
from the pulpit, and paint in glowing .co!ors
the sad results which surely follow a long
continued habit of drinking to excess. The
influence of the press all over this broad
land is constantly brought to bear against
this giant evil. Speeches are made, and
books innumerable are published solely for
the purpose of attracting attention to this
subject, in order that reform may follow.
Notwithstanding all this, the evil referred
to does not seem to be abated to any con.
siderable degree, and our citizens generally
will be panied to learn that there
is large class Of young people in this city
who are confirmed and regular drinkers,
aud this class includes members of the
highest and most Influential families of the
city. The matter has been kept com.
pa-a'ive secret, and it was only by the
merest accident that the facts in the case
csme to the knowledge of representative
OF this paper yesterday evening, when he
learned, upon authority which cannot be
doubted, that for weeks past, it hss been
The habit OF a score of young psople resid-
ing IN this city, to cross over the suspension
bridge at an early hour every morning, and
then and there drink of water from the
cha'y6eate spring, in the most open and
unblushlng manner imaginable.

EdgefieId Pump Factory.

That immense results can be reached
from small beginnings by means of perse.
Verance, industry and economy, is fully
| demonstrated by the success which has
been achieved by Messrs. Smith, Lsfferty
Freeman, who have just put in operation
on the Edgeield side of tie river, an ex'
| teIisive mandatory of wooden pumps.
Sixteen years ago, these gentleman be-
gan 10 make pumps at Three Rivers, Mich.
Having no caDitsl whatever, they began by
boring the pumps by hand. Next they
procured horse cover TO run their lsthes,
and finally their business increased so that
they were enabled to purchase small en-
CINE. Then they enlarged their building,
snd about three years ago established an
other factory at TOedO, Ohio, at which
place they now have large building, five
stories high, Sc arranged That freight cars
are switched of'into the building to be load
ed, and the demand for their pumps has in
creased to such an extent that they are now
shipping tn m all over the United States,
and even TO Europe. .
In February last they began the erection
of suitable buildings Oh the river oppos ite
Nashville, and shout the first of last month
began the manufacture of pumps there,
using at this time, one ttousaud feet of
material per lay. They have engaged all
the material which the Cumberland Lum-
Der Company can furnish them during the
next seven years, and find that pumps can
be made hare and shipped to Toledo for
less moDeylthan it cts to make them at
that place. Three car loads have
already been shipped to Toledo, from
here, and two car lo7ds have
been sent to Baltimore, the facilities for
making being so great that the mills of the
Cumberland Lumber Company have not
b en- able to supply material fast enough,
IS nothing bit the choicest lumber can be
used.
We are gratifsd to note this exhi' ition
of enterprise, aud hope the example of
Messrs. Smith, L2ferty & Freeman will be
followed by others, as this city and vicinity
offers advants es to those desiring ID en-
gage in manufacturing, unex:elled by any
place n the land. ra E

To the Union and American:
The water furnished the city, including
the pipe laid down during the year, cos s,
according TO the last report of the Superin-
tendeut, ST ,942 81. The people paid for
the same during the same time S57,964 II,
or $50, 021.20 more than its cost. is it right
for the city TO charge over 100 per cent for
an article that is unfit for use, and ought to
be condemned for all drinking and cooking
purposes? Suppose any citizen offers for
sale il the city ny article OF food thst is
rot en- and totally unfit to be taken into the
stomach, what would be done With him?
Would be not at once be arrested and pun
ished for said crime? The city authorities
are doing this very thing to-day, and have
been doing it all the summer. The water
they furnish you to drink and cook your
food with at 100 per cant. above its cost is
fnl of worms, slow, eli ur, sluggish, filthy
creatures, and decsying particles CT animal
and vegetable matter, all of which can be
plainly seen thrOuc powerful microscope.
l would advise all who are forced to drink
this vile stuff, to boil it first and then strain
all the dead rcasges and refuse matter out
before using it. Is it Just? Is it ri.tt? Is
it good policy? Is it sccording to reason or
sound jud ment for the city to longer delay
In matter of 50 grea: importance. The
future of Nashville depends upon the health
OF it's citizens, and without good, pure water
Nashville can hope for nothing, X.
