! VALUE OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
In thirteen of the States watered by
/ the tributary streams and rivers of the
! Mississippi, ], lilo, ,000,0 600 bushels of grain
are produced annually. About ,000,-
/ 900, 600 of these bushels are consumed as
/ food and fuel by the men, cattle, hogs,
horses, steam-engines, and distilleries of
the country, while about 1l0,000,000
| bushels, or say ten per cent. of the whole
amount raised, is exported to foreign
countries. OF that which is exported,
about 66,000,00 bushels pass through
Chicago and Milwaukee, while the other
"A, ,O00, 900 goes over direct railroad routes
to New York, or is brought down the
Mississippi river and shipped from New
Orleans to Europe. These figures are
furnished by prominent grain men of
New Orleans.) These say that results
have shown and experience completely
proven, that all the grain shipped
through that port to the cities of Europe
gains fourteen cents a bushel over that
shipped by the northern railroad or lake
ways of travel. Thus, if the farmers of
the west sent the 81, 100000 bushels that
pass through Chicago and Milwaukee,
down by way of the Mississippi to be ex-
ported from New Orleans, it would save
them in round numbers s., 200, 900 annu-
ally.-NdshUille Banner.
TOO MICH BAT.
A serious misunderstanding occurred
last Saturday in a game of base ball,
among the boys; when one of them
struck the other with bat. The lick
did not break the skin, but appears to
have psralyZed the boy, who died on
Thursday night. The name of the in
juTed boy is Phillip Hanly.-HeleRd

MEN WHO WORE THE GRAY.
MERIDIAN, August THE second
annual reunion of the survivors of the
thirteenth Mississippi regiment took
place here to-day at the courthouse.
Captain t. II. Woods occupied the chair,
while Captain A. T. Clark as secretary.
There was fair representation of the
veterans, though the attendance was
not quite so full as last year. General
BENJAMIN G. Humphreys, of your
city, was present, and received a
deserved greeting from the old war
riors who were with him in many a
weary march. Letters were read from
Hon. Jefferson Davis, Generals Beaure-
gard, Longstreet and others. The an
nual Grafton was delivered by Lieuten-
ant-COlonel Whitaker, who paid glow
ing tribute to the brave and true, who |
came at MississiPpis call like the war
riors of Clan-Alpine to the sound of |
their chieftain's whistle and now sleep |
beneath the shadow of Virginia's ever |
lasting mountains and along the banks |
of her beautiful rivers with not even a |
rude stone to mark the spot where they |
fell. He encouraged the living in the |
recuperative energies they have dis |
played, and pointed them to the broad |
fields of usefulness open before us where |
ali should be busy workers, guiding our |
interests and shaping the destiny of Om |
section. The meeting then adjourned |
to the charming grove on the Greer |
place, in the southern portion of the |
city, where a sumptuous and bountifui |
barbecue was spread and freely parta-
ken of, after which the crowd dis |
persed.- Vicks6lrg Herald.
ANOTHER MURDER BY THE TEHAUNA |
OUTLAWS. rr-....
WACO, July 25.-Another foul murder
was committed last night in few miles !
of our city, by the Tehauna outlaws, |
alias Modocs of McLennan county.
They came within three miles of town
yesterday. The deputy-sheriffa and posse
started Immediately to arrest them, after
dividing his men in squads of three to |
five. After dark squad of three came
upon some men lying in ambush. Burl
Blaukenship, good citizen, who has
beer acting as deputy-sheriff, and who |
has taken very active part in trying TO |
bring the scoundrels to justice, was in |
front and called out: "Who are you?' |
No response was made. He then said /: |
"If you don't answer we will fire.u |
Their answer to this was shots, one |
taking effect in the deceased's breast, |
he dying in half an hour, but !
not before he recognized his MUIR
derer, one Bob Chrystal, who has
been a terror to the people. He lead the
gang that released the prisoners from
Jail, a few weeks ago, and supposed to
be connected with the lynching of Mat.
Wallace a short time since, beside his
on stock. He and his gang
have threatened several of the best men
in the country, who have been keeping
guards on duty every night for a month
peTadoes. This last act has created con-
siderable excitement here, and decis-
i've steps are being taken to overhaul
them. Court was in session, but ad-
journed, and the grand jury dismissed,
SO the men could go. Over one hun
dred men have left here, and viii be
Joined by great many from the sur
rounding country. Two horses, saddles
nistOls and one sixteen-shOoter were
captured last night and removed. 1t was
that a Modoc, fatally wound
ed, was captured to-day. If they are
it is hardly possible they will
ever put the courts to much trouble

UNNECESSARY ALARM.
We hear a great deal about our coun-
try friends being afraid to visit Knox
vile, on account of the reported preva-
lence of cholera in our city. Knowing
the true facts in the matter, we would
be derelict in our duty should we fail to
the minds of our country
this erroneous idea. True, we
have case of cholera in
our city, but the cause of it is invariably
traced TO some act of imprudence. All
over East Tennessee, we hear of isolated
cases of the disease, and Knoxville is as
safe as any place. Come to town, do
your trading, and you need suffer no un-
easiness Press and Herald.
