This fact can be PROVED by the testimony
of every Farmer IN East Tennessee aoho

of one crop more than paid for the drill.

THE Nashville Banner according to its
own testimony, is a very virtuous and ex-
emplary organ, We miss its bugle blasts
however, in the present war upon the
corruption at Nashville. The Banner's
delicate situation is understood. Are the
relations between the Comptroller's office
and the Public Printersl too intimate to
bear disturbance? Is the Banners "inde-
pendent" freak of last year to wind up in
its playing second fiddle to Burch and
Brown? ....r.

THE Union and american is trying to
figure the perquisites of the Comptroller's
office down very low. We have the state
ment of the Banner that the Office is
worth from thirty to forty thousand dol

the term for which Hobbs was elected,
was worth $50 600. Burch feels the effect
of this fact and is now trying to break its

HEALTH OF THE CITY.

The death of Judge Nelson from cholera
gives rise to false stories about the deaths
in Knoxville. For the week endingthe 26th

been not more than one a day. At this

but no new cases. These are the facts as

A youth named Browder, about fifteen
years of age, who has been carrying the
mail between Athens and Sulphur Springs,
Rhea county, has been detecIed in robbing
the mail, and it is presumed that he has
been carrying on this nefarious business
for some time. He was arrested aud lodg

will probably continue in the employ of
the Government for some time to come,
but doubtless at some other point and un-

Attempted Murder in Highland

MONTEREY, VA, July 22nd, 1873.
Editor Spectator:
We take the liberty of send
ing you an account of murder that was at
tempted upon Mr.. Geo. w. s. Hull, more gen.
orally known as DR.. Hull, of Mcdowell in this
county, whilst riding from his place of resi-
dence down the Bulpasture River few weeks
since. The circumstances are as follows, viz !:
When tho Dr. had gone about three miles he
was suddenly attacked and fired upon by an
unknown rufian. 1t having been previously
in,imated to DIR. FL. that his life was endanger-
ed, he had fortunately that very morning pre-
pared himself for the emergency, and with a
degree of GOODNESS aad fortitude unsurpassed in
the annals of history drew forth his revolver
and returned with great promptness the fire of
his assailant exchanging shot for shot until
the third or fourth round, when his enemy.
finding himself no longer able to Withstand the
vigorous onslaught of the Dr., commenced a
brisk retreat. The Dr.. taking advantage of
the position, plunged the rowels into the flanks
of his horse and pushed with wonderful activi-
ty upon his flying antagonist, driving him
headiong into deep mountain gorge, where
he (the rufiap) would certainly have been cap
tured had not the DR.. unfortunately at this
iuncture been placed hors de combat by wound
received in his left arm. No longer able to
manage his steed, he at once abandoned the
pursuit and rode to neighbouring house,
where he received every care and attention ;

Poetry

Sweet wind, west wind WOO me like lover;
Murmur low of comfort to a grevng heart;
O. er my head, lain heavily, with gentle touches
hover,
Stray across my forehead, put my locks apart
In the quiet twilight on window sill, aweary,
Ny head is dropped, and scarcely I see the
moon arise;
Her light falls ccldly, purely on me, alone and
dreary:
The wind, my lover. pauses and kisses both
my eyes.
Q wind. my lover, calling "Come out to me- my
Lift head and heart, beloved, and straight
come out to me.
Of all things that thou lowest to thy heart am
nearest,
Ny touch upon thy shoulder my kisses soften
thee"
West wind, sweet wind, dearest of my lovers,
I am coming for a walk abroad alone with
thee.
(Thou art dear, no other; for earth and daisy
covers
Ny only love of all the world, my lost, dead
love from me.)
Sweet wind, west wind, kiss me like q lover;
I stand full in the glory which soft moon-rays
outpour;
Above my brow, uplifted. OILY thy touch will
hover
And, save for moonlight, empty my arms are
evermOre.

having had his wound dressed, and procuring
another hat, this own was lost in the charge,
be returned home to receive the sympathies OF
his many friends. This statement is substan-
tally that made by the DR.. himself on his re-
turn; for this reason there can be no possible
doubt of ats accuracy.
We yesterday interviewed gentleman who
was at work some distance from the scene OF
action, who states that he clearly saw the DR..
during the whole engagement, but soas unable
to perceaue has antagonist, consequently is una
BILE to give any information relative to appear
ance, &c., that might lead to his capture, but
adds lin honor to DR.. II. that he bore himself
throughout with that high-toned and chival-
rous valor, which 80 distinguished Bois de Gil
bert or the Knight of Misunderstanding at no
time the least sign of retreating, but charged
with the utmost fury entirely across a 20 acre
field. AS this is the first occurrence of the kind
in this County since the war, it naturally caused
considerable excitement, and various were the
surmises as to the cause of the affair. Wheth-
er the intent was robbery as we'll as murder, or
only murder, We are not able to say, nor could
we CLEAN any information from the Dr., as he
is very reticent upon this part of the subject
Whatever the in;ent may have been, it was
certainly bold, fearless act, transpiring in
broad daylight aud in the midst of thickly
settled neighborhood. It is to be deeply re-
gretted that we have lingering or living among
us people of such malicious purposes; but
trust that the Dr. s cool bravery and presence
of mind have been the means of so defeating
their intentions that second attack will be
deemed unadvisable.
We were extremely apprehensive for the
Dr.. s welfare for some time after We heard of
the affair, as he had been for some months
suffering with hemorrhage from the lungs. but
learn that he is likely soon to recover. The
wound though severe was not dangerous the
ball grazing the skin of the arm just below the
elbow and cutting it for nearly halt an inch
His coat sleeve was very much burned by the
powder, showing that he and his antagonist
must have been in very close quarters when he
was struck. Even in the midst of lite we are
nigh unto death" x

The Lynchburg Ne,os says: Bring out the
best men for the Legislature. Follow the ex-
ample Of the State Conservative Convention in
calling to the front the most available caudi-
dates. Follow its example in sacrificing all
preferences for the common good. Follow its
example In not permitting minor differences of
opinion upon State or local interests, or jeal-
ousies of Glass; to disturb the general harmony.
Let no man seek to promote himself at the ex-
pense of thecause. The State is threatened
with great peril, and individuals are as moth
ing. The highest ambition OF every aspirant
should now be to emulate the model presented
by Colonel Withers at the State Convention
self-abnegation for the sake of Virginia.

THE CANVASS. is universally agreed by
the Conservatives that there must be an active,
enthusiastic canvass throughout the State: that
the white voters everywhere in Virginia must
be made to realize the Importance of this con-
test; that the spirit and pride of the one race
must be aroused in opposition to the ignorance
and the prejudices of the other; that there
must not be county, or corner of county,
In the Commonwealth in which every white
man is not approached and urged to be at the
polls on the fourth day of November.
There is long list of canVassers, and among
them are many of the most powerful popular
speakers in the State. That they will all do
their duty, and render effective service, we have
not doubt. But the canvass must not be left
entirely to these canvassers. Every Conserva-
tive in the State must lend all the aid in his
power to the cause. Men who appreciate tho
emergency; whether they have "book-learn-
ing or not; whether they have ever seen the
inside OF college or not whether they are
practised In public speaking or not; whether
they have heretofore taken part in politics
or not, must reason with those around them
who may be disposed to be Indifferent. and
rouse them into an interest In this contest
Neighbor must talk with neighbor upon the
impending perils, which can be so easily avert
ed If every white man will vote. Where it is
lmpractIcabie to have large meetings the Con-
serva'lves must get together in groups and dis
cuss the issues aud the dangers of the day
Let 90 white man feel that he will be- dong all
that he can do by simply going to the polls
himself; but let every one who has neighbor
hesitating about voting take pride in seeing
that neighbor and persuading him to go. The
people must talk politics among themselves
without waiting for the canvassers to come
along, and after they have come and gone they
will have still more to talk about on the same
subject. Enquirer
