Ben. Butler.

The Worcester correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune writes that Gen. But
ler made this confession to delegate
on the day preceding the Convention :
II ought not to have run this year. 1t
was bad Judgment, but the zeal of
mine enemy hath eaten me up" After
the Convention, he said: Grant dare
not fight me, any way. My seat is Sc
cure in Congress, and [ can go back
there, and make motion to cancel the
back pay measure, and carry it. [ new
er needed the back pay;if the President
did" The New York Tribune suggests
thai doubtless the action of the Conven.
ton has convinced the General that the
people are pretty unanimously opposed
to the back pay swindle, and that he
can best win favor by urging its repeal

Buckeye Girls.

Two young ladies of Canton, Ohio.
belabored "a soft-headed young man
who followed them," which leads the
Newark Advocate to remark: "Modest
young ladies, who deport themselves
with decency, are not apt to be insulted
but when their movements are of char
acter that seem to be intended to attract
attention and invite improper advances
their supposed wishes are not likely to
be slighted. If they occasionally 'gc
back on those that are captured by theii
allurements, their victims must submit
They took their chances and lost"

The Chattanooga Times states that D..
Hockett, of Knoxville, and Collin Ford,
of Cincinnati, have purchased tract of
iron land extending from near Oolta-

less. This, we presume. is the extern

The Grangers in Bedford.

A correspondent of the Nashville Ban
ner says there is a large number of far
mers in Bedford county who care moth
ing about the Granger movement, and
adds.
so far as they are concerned, one or
one hundred Oranges may be establish
ed, as the managers may choose, but
they do not propose to "go in lemons
and get squeezed" Men who have been
blowing all their lives are unwilling at
this late day to pay weekly or monthly
oae In order to be taught how to plow.
Accustomed to vote as they desired, they
are unwilling to be hampered by oath
or obligation on election days. This
class of farmers is by far the largest
and from them the Grangers need expect
no support Upon the whole, am al
together skeptical as to the success Of
the movement in our county. 1t seems
to my mind that before it can succeed
here or elsewhere. to any great extent.
! it must first be disrebed Of its secl ecy.
and the world be convinced that it has
nothing to do with politics or office
seeking. This done, and it may become
an important and useful organization.
Its CRY against mOnopolies, rings. etc,
done.
1t is quite prooable that a considera-
BILE majority Of the farmers Of the State
will take the same view of the subject
as the class referred to in Bedford. Peo-
pie have a lively recollection of Know
Nothingism on the one hand and of the
more recent Leagues on the other and
good many of them will hesitate to
fall in. with any movement that carries
with it the imposition of secret oaths
and obligations. The great aud con-
trolling interest of agriculture can be
best promoted and elevated by broad,
open harmony and concert and without
a resort to secret and oath bound or
CARNATIONS. We say, speed the plough
but let the people touch the Oranges
gingerly until they abolish and discard
the league-room feature.

The TeIlico Property.

The Chattanooga Daily Times states
that "Col. W. A. Hoskins, in connec-
ton with several other capitalists, has
purchased the celebrated Tellico Plains
Iron Property, and proposes to start
I'D the works next spring. This is
one of the best pieces of charcoal iron
property in the world. Car wheels made
from this iron have been in constant use
for 25 wears, and are still sound"
The Tellico property here mentioned
is situated in Monroe county, Is miles
east of Athens, the nearest point to the
railroad. The ore, as our Chattanooga
cotemporary remarks, is of a very supe-
,.;or ouality-beuter than has yet been

for cattle and sheep. A narrow-gaug'
railroad from Athens to the Plains
would bring these immense interests in

Investment among the most profitabl
of the day. In the absence OF more posi-
tive information on the subject, we will
indulge the hope that Col. Hoskins an
his associates mean pusiness'

GrunbierS.

There is good deal of coed advice
embodied in this paragraph from the
East Tennessee Echo-ap excellent pa
per recently started at JoEesboro:
We hear every day some of our young
men complaining Of the duIIness Of the
times, the scarcity OF money, the mac
tivitv in business and thousand other
discouragements that confront them i'll
their schemes for the future. Some of
them are talking of changing locality,
and seeking some opening where busi-
ness is more active, money more plenti-
fuI, and times more hopeful. One word,
young man! You are component
part of this country, and ought to pos
sess great deal of energy and perse-
verance. Have you these qualities P
Are you not in great measure respon-
sible for the dullness of the times of
which you complain? How much of
your time are you spending in stool
pigeonry? Sitting in sheer idleness on
door and window sills, retailing silly
chit-chdt from day to day. Is there any
country beneath the sun that would re-
ward you with prosperity, while you
thus employ your time? Success al
ways has, and always will crown the
efforts of the energetic go-a-head Young
man, and allow us to say, that there is
no part of the United States that pre-
sents better field for successful opera
tions for live, active, enterprising young
men, than our own East Tennessee
What you want young man, is to get up
and shake yourself and go to work III
good earnest. This will bring the era
Of good times for which you sigh, and
tits alone will bring it. This you will
have to do, go where you may, or you
will still be grumbler.

CrOpS in Texas.

4 correspondent OF the Nashville
Uuion and American, dating from Aus
tin. says:
From all parts of Texas we have fa-
vorable accounts Of the crops. In this
worth only 50 cents per 100 pounds, and
corn is now dull at A cents per bushel.
This shows the fertility of our soil. for
notwithstanding the immense immigra-
ton to this part ef the State the old crop
on hand and the prospects for the new,
keeps corn at price within the reach
of the poorer class of emigrants.

A Beautiful Story.

There is a beautiful story in ancient
poetry. A great warrior, the hero of
Troy, clad in fierce armor stretches out
his arms to embrace his child before he
goes to the field of battle. The child
is afraid of the dazzling helmet and
nodding crest. and stern, warlike aspect
of his father, and shrinks back in terror
and alarm. But there is Il loving, ten
der heart beating within that panoply
of steel. The father unbinds his gilt
tering helmet lays aside his fierce ar
NOR, and comes to his child with out
stretched arms and tender words of
love. The child shrinks from him no
longer, but runs to his arms, pillows
its head upon his bosom, and receives
his parting embrace and kiss. So men
are afraid of God when he appears Ill
his majesty and terribleness. They
think of his omnipitence, his glory the ne
1azzkfulness of his throne, the terrors u
&c, and shrink back from ann. nim.'

Southern Independence.

The New York Sun suggestively says
'the South may achieve an indepen.
dence far more lasting and real than that
for which it was fighting ten years ago
Georgia's farmers are proving that the
South can be Independent of the West
by raising its own corn, and the profits
of Georgia and Alabama cotton mills
show that the South can manufacture
its cotton without the aid of New Eng
land. Self-support is true indepen-
dence."
