TIE absurd notion of forming a new
State out of West Tennessee, advocated
by some newspapers is not only dis
countenanced by the Nashville Banner

cry.

The State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, Hon. John NJ. Fleming,
has appointed county superintendent's
meetings for the oath inst, at Trenton,
in West Tennessee for the 10Th inst, at
MurfreesborO, in Middle Tennessee, and
for the LIST proXimO at Knoxville, in
East Tennessee, and has issued postal
card circulars to all superintendent to
this effect, urging them to attend all
three of these meetings, but especially
the one to be held in their division of
the State. The friends of the education
al cause must be rejoiced to know that
the returns from the counties thus far
are most encouraging. The people
seem to appreciate the advantages offer
ed by the Legislature and the Courts
and are taking no little interest in the
selection of District Boards, at the cleo
ton which is to take place the first
Thursday in August next. These SUI
perintendents meetings this month will
accomplish much, and every Superin-
tendent should lend it the encourage
ment of his presence and COUNSEL

On the 18th INST. a party of men in
Sequatchie were out deer driving, when
one was started up, Mr.. Taylor Barber
and Mr.. William Lamb both seeing it
about the same time, the deer being di-
rectly in range between them, Mr.. Bar
Der fired first at the deer, and missing,
his ball took effect in Mr. Lambs right
breast, near the nipple, and passed
through his lungs and lodged under his
shoulder blade, from which place DR.. ].
g. Saims extracted it. A correspond
ent of the Chattanooga Times says this
is the second occurrence of the kind
very near the same place. About four
years ago, Capt. w. d. Stewart was kill
ed by his friend, who mistOok him for
deer. ~

Both cotton ana corn CROPS OF Lincoln
and Marshall will probably be fail
uFe, as the farmers undertook to save
their cotton during the rains of last
month, to the neglect of their corn
grass and weeds have such start that
it is thought that both crops will be of
no benefit,
We are informed that the wheat crop
of Lincoln county is hardly an average.
1t also contains great deal of smut.
