BAGDAD, Tenn, Aug. 6, 1S73.-Our
community so far has escaped that disease
which has ravaged your proud and noble
city, and snStched away so many Of your
good and prominent citizens. Weare truly
thankful that We have thus far been spared
aud blessed by our good aud wise Creator,
though We have several eases Of cholera
morbus in our section, but nons have proved
fatal as yet By our bsing prudent and
cautious i our manner of living for q little
while, We may succeed in keeping The dis
ease at ray until the time shall arrive for
it to take its final departure.
TIE work on Masonic Hall at Difficult has
begun. 1t will be large and commodious
bulldog, and will be constructed by as good
mechanics as the country affords. We an
ticipate Lice time at the laying Of the cor
ner stone, which is to take place soon.
Our farmers are pretty well done thresh-
ing their wheat, which fell short of their
expectations. About ths time it was ia
loom, and short tine after, we thought
we would make an average half crcp, but
since it has been threshed out we find it
lacks both quantity and quality. In all
crops we have examined we find mora or
less ANAL, faulty, rotten grains that will
not make -four, and but very little bran.
We are thinking half what we have made
will be lost under the miIler's screen.
With the knowledge we have of four present
crop, we would estimate i5 at about one
third crog, compared with former years.
Our corn generally speaking look very bad.
We have had 50 much rain this summer, we
could not plow our corn to keep down the
weeds AID grass W .ich has caused it to turn
yellow aud hard. With al the work, gentle
showers and warm sun-shine is can have,
ctn not possibly make more than half q
crop 1t is indeed dishearteniug and discour-
aging to ride over our neiehborhood and
zee the prospects we have for our present
crCps.
Our tobacco crops is small, irregular and
many patches have frenched 80 badly it is
feared can never be gotten out Of it, caused
by so much rain. INV can have late
fall, it will be much to the advantage ofour
tobacco crop. ...
Our oat crop proved to be very good, our
grasses German, millet, Hungarian, etc 4,
also are very good. Hoping things will pre-
sent better aspect before jack frost mades
his appearance, we will trust to providence.

QUICK WORK,

A Morgan county correspondent SENDS
us the particulars of a courtship and mar
rage, which recently occurred in the neigh
boring county of Scott, which for brevity,
(the courtship and marriage, we mean), we
think will surpass anything on record. The
story goes that certain wiCoWer, and one
of the most substantial and well-to-do cltl-
zens of Morgan county, having once
experienced the happiness and pleasure OF
married life, longed again to enter into tne
holy state of matrimonity. Unable to nod
a suitable partner to share his joys and sor-
lowsin his immediate reighborhood, after
repeated and unsuccessful attempts, he de-
termined to try his luck elsewhere, and &C
cordingly saddliDg up a couple OF horses,
he mounted, snd HE'D to the neighoorlng
county of Scott. In the course OF his Jour-
ney be passed by Westinghouse where
persons were engaged in Sabbath worship.
Thinking probably his future partner might
be there, be disnounted and went IN, os-
tensibly to listen to the word of God, but
in reality TO look for a wife. In looking
over the congregation his eyes fell upon the
person of lady who, he mentally ejacu-
lated, would make him suitable partner
At the conclusion of the services he accord
iDgiy sought an interview, and introducing
himself, at once entered upon the business
of bis journey. His proposal icing accept
ed, they were married at once, and the fol
lowing day the newly married couple re-
turned to the home and possessions of the
enterprising and persevering groom. The
bride is said TO be most worthy lady,

Special Telegram to the New Orleans Picayune.
SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 2.-There is great
excitement here. A negro camp hanger. on
of the colored company Stationed here,
yesterday wrote letter to daughter "a Led
about II years) Of Capt. Tobyn, asking an
designation. The girl showed the letter to
her father, who threatened to kill the SCOUT
drel, but the man was arrested and put in
the guard-house. To-day be got cut.
Tobyn managed, somehow, to get him out
side Of the city, and in the presence of two
citizens administered a severe chastisement.
He begged SO riteously Tobyn turned him
loose, telling him if be returned he would
kill him. The negroes here have taken the
matter in hand and threa'e en- Capt. Tobyu.
The citizens and police are on duty at the
Vance House, and it is hoped no collision
will happen.
SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 2, P. M.-The ex-
element is gradually subsiding. The ne
gro has been found and brought into town,
where he now is at the hospital, pretty
badly used up from the whipping. The po-
lice are guarding The VaEce House. No
more trouble is anticipated.
SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 8, 9, The
army officers sent word to the police that
they could not control their men, ard ad-
Vised them to summon posse cOnitdtus TO

OualI the disturbance
10 o'clock-S5ysral shots were fired BY
negroes. Gen. Baylor was then requested

police. The negroes were finally quieted

Anger, Capt. French, and Lieuts. Gedds anG

negro company outside Of tie city. They
left town about 2 PM, threatening to return
and have revenge. The ciiiz9ns are armed

Our Water supply.

UNION anu AnicIlCdus
NASHVILLE, Aug. s, 1S73.-Seeing in
your last issue that the attention of our
people is being directed TO the vitality ofthe
city, viz: supply Of pure water, l wish to
direct that at ention to the fact that it was
foreordained from the beginning that Nash
vile was to be great city, teeming with
life, health and prosperity; and that q foun=
tain of pure freestone water was created
for her use. There is on the premises of
Mr.. Garrett, On the top of Paradise Hill,
about IA miles distant from Us, lake of
pure freestone water covering an area of
six acres of land, with depth of from 10
to Is feet. This lake is fed by nine springs
of pure freestone water, standing on q
plateau, by absolute survey 500 feet above
the level Of our Public Square. Now this
pure fountain of life can be delivered TO
our city almost, if not quite, as cheap, SIS
our present waterworks will cost to put
them in first rate condition. From this
lake nature supplies the motive power free
of cost in the elevation. The pipes can be
laid down the va 10y Of Whites creek to the
bank of the Cumberland, having all the FL
necessary, without the expense of making .
single cut of any magnitude. If this sub
ject is worthy of consideration, let our City
Fathers, backed By cur people, make real
bona fide business investigation or the racts
herein given. a CITIZEN.

A visit Thereto by Three Nashville
MasOns.
Three young Nashvillians made an ar
rangement Thursday to attend Masonic
meeting at Goodlettsville that night, and,
hiring three Arabian charger. at one Of our
livery stables, set S0rth at night fall full OF
enterprise, and in excellent spirits (aDimal
spirits). One of he young men deals in liter
allure, the second fills an Office of honor and
trust, with his headquarters at the Court
house, while the third exchanges boots and
shoes for lucre, at smaH advance on the
original cost. The literary member Of the
party had proposed the trip, with the lnten-
ton of making call upon his "girl," who
is spending few weeks in the vicinity
of Goodlettsville. But be didn't see her.
for the party missed the road, wandered
around in by and forbidden paths for an
hour or two like three blessed "Babes in
the Wood" and finally reached Goodletts-
vile after the MssOns had adjourned and
wendell their way homewArds. Then
that literary chap, and that County
Courthouse chap and that boot and
shoe chap made some inquiries
about the best way to reach Nashville, ami
started on their return, weary and dispirit-
ed. They were not mad exactly, but they
didn't waste their breath in idle and flippant
conversation, preferriDg to occupy the time
| with silent elf-communiDgs-that is when
they were not swearing. Soon after leav-
ing Goodlettsville, the windows of heaven
opened, and the rain-the refreshing rain,
! came down in torrents, falling alike upon
the lust and unjust, and in exactly fourteen
minutes, by the watch, that trio of enter
prising Masons were thoroughly dampened,
aud as they wound their way slowly along,
gloom and dependency perched upon their
lofty brows. At three o'clock yesterday
morning the wilted but picturesque process
sion marched into town in quiet, unos-
tentatious way, no member OF the party
feeling especially proud or conceited with
regard to his personal appearance.
