East Tennessee Notes.

We have been shown specimen of iron
ore of very superior quality, found on the
land of VIM. Crittenden, in the vicinity of
Jack Dodson's mill, and three miles from
Riceville. Parties are engaged in uncov-
ering the vein with view to rendering it
available. Indications of coal are found in
the same neighborhood. A~
We have received communication upon
the tobacco interest, written by gentle
man of this vicinity who has had a large
and successful experience in the cultiva-
ton of the plant, which will appear next
week. AS mentioned before, good deal
of tobacco was raised in this vicinity last
season, and more will be planted this
spring. sE- 81
The trade in produce has been light for
the last six days. A few lots of wheat have
been received, and corn is moving slowly.
The same may be said of bacon. Flour,
for local consumption is in demand at
$500 per 100 lbs. for the best article. Most
of the mills have been stoppe d for some
days by the high waters.
Capt. Howe of Rhea was in last Mon
day. He is a good deal elated with the
attention which the iron and coal deposits
of that cOunty are attracting. !. The success
Of the Rock wood seems to have infused
new, life into the people, and they are look
ing hopefully forward to a prosperous
future. AS for Sulphur Springs, in less
than ten years they will be the most
popular resort in the whole country.
The advantage which that section has
over most others is in the iron, coal and
limestone all being contiguous in mex
haustible administrations Post.
The Tazewell Spectator of this week
says that the wheat stored along PowelpS
River, in Lee county, Virginia, awaiting
transportation, previous to the late freshet,
was variously estimated by the merchants nts
to sc, 900 bushels Perhaps 65, 900 bushels
would not be far from the true amount.
Besides this, there was also some other
produce, as oats, bacon, &c. But little of
the bacon, however, is yet in the market
OF this only about 20, 600 bushels of wheat
got out on the last rise, and two-thirds OF

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY. Fa
MAN MURDERS HIS sON.IN.LAW.
Son Murders His Father, and Two
Brothers Close the Scene with

Blood.
Yesterday morning we gave brief &C.
count of terrible tragedy which took
place in Hawkins county. We obtain the
following particulars of the affair from the
Rogersville Reporter of the 2Sth:
In the adjoining county of Hancock,
there lived a family consisting of father
mother, two sons, daughter, and sOn-in-
law. Some time ago the father, Dan. Sut-
ton, separated from his family, and accom-
panied by his son John, took up their
abode with lewd woman living in or near
the Hawkins county line, and from this
place frequent fOrays were made by the
father upon the old homestead, and from
time to time much property was conveyed
to the house of the lewd woman. They
submitted patiently to these depredations,
until the father went and took away the
last horse on the place.
The son, VIM. Sutton, who had remain
ed with his mother, procured replevin
writ, and In company with his brother in
law, Barnett, proceeded to the house of the
fewd woman, and took the horse into pos
session. They were on the point of leav
ing when the father, Dan. sutton, came
out of the house and with rifle fired at
VIM. Sutton, commencing q scene that
was soon to have bloody ending. The old
man then seized an axe aud split open the
skull of his son-in-law, who sank down in
pool of blood and expired in q few mo-
ments, and the father then advanced upon
VIM. Sutton with axe uplifted, to strike
the terrible blow. William then drew his
pistol and shot, killing the old man in
stantly. In the meantime John Sutton,
the son who came away with old Sutton,
came up and seizing Barnett's pistol, closed
in with his brother thus they fought, muz-
zle to muzzle. till every shot was expended.
After knocking each other with the butt
ends of their pistols, they threw them
aside and drew their bowie knives; in a
short time John lost one of his hands, and
another stroke from William cut off his
chin, and thus the bloody affray ended.
John is thought to be dying. William
was hurt in several places, but has manag
ed to escape. ~. sit 1giipE T
1t has been fearful and bloody tragedy.
The lives of three men lost, and the fourth
an outcast, homicide and murderer of
his own father. 1t is fearful picture. 1t
should be a warning to all that work
iniquity. This should be the last. -

4 few days ago at the Arlington, Sena-

officer in the rebel army, came in and seat

recognized the other, except to casually
note the peculiarities of personal appear
ance, and each seemed to be satisfied that
the other was respectable if not good

been injured by the contact. Lee on receiv-
ing similar information, remarked that he
had noticed gentleman who was his Uis q
