CoLaIN's CASE FINALLY SETTLED.
The continued case of James M. Colgin,
charged with assaulting Harriet A. Miller,
was again called in the police court this
morning, and the accused was fined 500
and discharged. This case has been occu-
plying the attention of the courts for the
past three or four weeks. When the case
was first brought before Justice White it
was continued two or three times for rea-
sons which we do not remember just now,
but they were evidently good ones. He
was finally tried and sentenced to confine-
ment in the city Jail for six months. From
this decision he, through his counsel, Sam
uel M. Page, esq.,, took an appeal, and he
was allowed bail in the sum of $500 for his
appearance before the hustings court the
first Monday in this month. There he was
tried by a jury and fined one dollar.
Judge Guigon set this verdict aside and
granted him new trial. The case was
then sent back to Justice Whites court,
and disposed of as above mentioned.

THE FIRE ON SUNDAY NIGHT
Attempt Of the Prisoners to burn the
Knoxville Jail,

On Sabbath night about o'clock, the
alarm of fire again alarmed our citizens and
caused them to leave their homes and rush
to the scene. After some time being lost
by the firemen as to the whereabouts ofthe
fire, the number of the Ward not having
been tapped, it was discovered to be in the
county Jail. 1t seems that in one of the
cells of the Jail, the boiler iron, forming
the ceiling at one place liked about half an
inch of meeting, thus exposing part of
two joists. There were six prisoners in
the cell, among them Ed. Staples and Pry-
or Karnes, two rather noted characters,
who by some means obtained q box of
matches, with the intention of setting fire
to the Jail, hoping during the excite
ment that would ensue, to make their
escape. Pryor being the strongest, Ed.
made use of his shoulders as a step-ladder
by which to reach the ceiling, aud thus
applied match after match until the wood
ignited, when, as the prisoners in the adj
joining cell state, they had regular war
dance over their success, which combined
with the cries of fire by the other prison.
ers gave the alarm. The engines were all
promptly on the ground, but only two of
them got to work. Reliance No. threw
the first water, with the exception of
bucket full or two, and was soon followed
by the steamer, which worked admirably,
and soon the last vestige of fire disappear
ed.
None of the prisoners succeeded in max
ing their escape. AS soon as the fire was
discovered Sheriff Gossett removed them
out of the upper cells down into the hall,
where they were securely guarded. The
parties engaged in causing the fire have
been placed in the dungeon, where they
will doubtless repent of their misdeeds.
One of the hand engines considerably
damaged the property of Mr.. V. Burger,
breaking down his front fence and ruin
ing his garden.
MIR. Herman Schenk, one of the pipe
men of Fountain Fire Company, No. l,
severely cut two of his fingers. The tin
roof of the Jail being wet and slippery, he
was about to fall, and in his attempt to
hold fast met with the accident named.
Before closing this article we would
again refer to the matter of giving'a proper
signal of the number of the ward in which
the fire exists. We think it should be an
established rule, that the person ringing
an alarm should slowly tap the number of
the ward, in order to save the valuable
time lost in making inquiries, and perhaps
in running in an opposite direction.

HOMICIDE IN LOUDON COUNTY.
Killing of DIR. jackson by w. X. Long.

On Sunday Mr.. Robert Kittrell, of Lou
don county, arrived in this city, having
in custody w. r. Long, charged with hav-
ing killed DR.. Jackson the day previous
in adifliculty.
1t is said that Long had some words
with DR.. Jackson's mother concerning the
right of way through field, and used
language of an insulting nature. But,
however this may be, on Saturday the two
men met at a mill, when a quarrel ensued,
ending in blows, when Long struck Jack
son twice on the head with club, knock
ing him down at the second blow, and
then struck him the third time after he
had fallen.
Long then left his antagonist and went
to a neighbOring magistrates, where he
proposed submitting his case, under an
act allowing justices of the peace to take
cognizance of small offenses-not imagin-
ing that Jackson was much hurt. Moth
ing was done at the time, but about five
hours after having been knocked down,
Jackson died from the injuries received,
when Long was arrested as soon as possi-
BILE, and after a hearing of the facts in the
case committed to Jail in this city.
Long and his victim were both men of
respectability, and the homicide, the re-
suit of a moment of passion, is mOurned
by the families of both.

eastern and western borders, there is no
excess of heat in midsummer Again, the
southern latitude renders the winters mild,
andhence,we seldom see the mercury down
to zero. Snow never falls more than few
inches in depth, and remains upon the
ground but a short time.
We find here mean of temperature
through the year not elsewhere seen in
the country, except on the Pacific coast.
There are very many people through the
whole North who are desrous of finding
a locality free from extremes of heat and
cold, and at the same time healthy. Such
may with truth be said of East Tennessee.
We feel safe in saying that no region can
be found at the same distance from the At
lantic coast, which combines so many of
the requisites to comfort during the whole
year as this.
Although at midday the SUMS rays fall
much more vertically than at the North,
still the nights are cooler than in Ohio or
Illinois, while in New England the heat is
oppressive during the whole night time :;
here, one is seldom troubled with the heat
after ten o'clock.
Persons predisposed to lung diseases, and
who are annoyed every winter with a
cough, in the colder States, will very soon
appreciate the change on coming here.
There is much of the consumption in our
natiou which results from the rigor of long
and continuous cold winters. Exercise in
the open air, which is so necessary to all,
cannot be taken safely when the weather
is extremely cold. Here, however, it is
never so cold in the winter as to compel
close confinement indoors.
One very prominent and favorable result
of coming thitber is experienced by per
sons afflicted with asthma and chronic
bronchial affections. There are people
scattered over Evst Tennessee, who came
here suffering severely with asthma, who
are either entirely cured or very material
ly relieved
