DEATH OF Col. GRIsHAM.-The
Chattanooga Times of the 9Th inst.
has the following in regard to the
death of Col. Geo. L. Grisham, for
merly of Nashville:
This gentleman, the principal own
er and editor of the JonesbOrO Flag
died of cholera at that city yesterday
Col. Grisham was most excellent
citizen, hard working conscientious
journalist and his loss will be severely
felt in his sectioD of the State, He
has faced death on many a hard con-
tested field, was twice breyeted for
gallant conduct during the late war
but the bravest act of his life was
standing at his post when the epidemic
had scattered the timid from the city
of his residence. Er
1t requires more courage to face
pestilence than to charge a battery,
and We are, proud to say that not one
of the newspaper fraternity has finch
ed: though Col. Grisham is not the
first we have chronicled as martyrs to
their heroism in behalf Of the sick
and helpless"

we think, premature and therefore i'll

party in the presence of powerful

rejoice to see put in practice. The
wiser proceeding would be co-Opera-

Tur canvass in virginia PROMISES I
So Says Our Supreme Court-A Douc-
ment Of Yalse to All Our Tax.
g Payers. - k1ss

THE canvass in Virginia promises to
be one of unusual interest and ex-
citement. The rather mixed condi-
ton of the political parties serves to
add to the interest. The Republican
Convention thatassembled yesterday al
Lynchburg opened the canvass. 1t is
said that Ex Governor Henry A. Wise
proposes to take an active part in the
campaign in behalf of the Republi-
can candidates. We do not know how
true this is. One of the issues of the
canvass is on the railroad policy of the
State. Gen. Malone, who advocates
the close communion policy, is to con-
troll the opposition canvass. Next to
the fight against Ben Butler in Mas
saehusetts, the campaign in the Mother
of States is of paramount interest.

IT is said that Alcorn is violently
opposed to Ames as a candidate for
Governor of Mississippi. 1t is a good
sign to see native scallawags opposing
the foreign article. But when it comes
to real political merit, we think the
Yankee carpet-bagger a more respect
able character than the southern scaE
lawag because the former comes to
depredate upon a people he has been
taught to hate, the latter depredates
upon a people he first betrayed and
then hated.

Valuable Invention.

Judge N. A. Patterson, editor OF
the Cleveland (Tenn) Commercial,
Republican, has been dabbling with
mechanics, and seems to have made a
success of it, Judging from a Wash
ington letter, from which we extract
as follows:
A patent screw, invented by the
Hon. n. A. Patterson, is pronounced
by eminent engineers signal success,
and is the best of all in existence.
He STYLES it the American Eagle
Wing Propeller" 1t hasproved itself
to possess oDs-fourth more power than
what is known as the "HelicOidal'
blade. In run of Sc miles the He
licoidal (Which was regarded as the
best blade KNOWN made 42110 reyo-
buttons whilst the Eagle Wing D sew
eral minutes less time, ran the same
distance, making only g, $50 revolu-
tons. The two wheels were of exact
ly the same diameter and worked on
the same vessel with the same engine.
| learn that the opinion Of good
engineer has been expressed that with
the Eagle Wing" an average speed of
at least % miles per hour may be OBJ
tanned. 1t is peculiarly adapted for
use on canals, as it is SO constructed
as to force the water backward instead
of to the side, as other propellers, and
will not wash the banks. When the
model was first shown to the Secretary
of the Navy he was so much pleased
with it, that he ordered the same tes-
ted at the Navy Yard, with view to
its adoption by the government and it
has proved wonderful success. The
Judge will proceed to New York in a
short time for the purpose of testing
it on the Erie Canal, and as that
State offers 800, 600 for any screw Pro-
peller that will successfully propel her
canal boats, the Judge proposes to
pocket that little sum besides the roy
atty.

IT is refreshing, in these times of
party bigotry and shameless disregard
of patriotic duty, to read such senti-
ments as are uttered by the Memphis
Register, whilst advising the people of
Mississippi, as to the policy to be pur-
sued in their approaching election.
Hold on" says the Register, to
principles that are undying and eternal,
but let slide any party name if, by
holding on to it, conservative vote
should be lost. If two Radicals should
run for Governor, choose between
them, as the least of two evils, or don t
vote at all. But be sure that such men
as may be nominated by the Conser-
vative element, are good and true men,
who stand on principle. While we are
of those WIG believe the name of
'DEMocRATIc PARTY is the best one
for the conservative element of the
country to rally under, yet, on a proper
basis of principle, We would fight as
hard under another name. 1t might
be well for our Mississippi friends to
follow the teachings of Richelieu that,
''when the lions skin is too short, exc
it out with that of the fox"
What blessing it would have been
to this State, had these sentiments con-
trolled the last election; and what a
blessing it will prove, should they
form the basis of action, in the next.
But people who learn neither from
their own, nor the experience of others,
pay little heed to words of patriotic
wisdom, preferring the specious blar-
ney of the cunning and selfish dema-
gogue-the nostrums of the quack to
the life-giving prescriptions of the
honest and experienced physician.

Tue new State movement seems to
have created less excitement since,
than before, the Conyention Of its

utterly impraetieable, it is likely to do
nothing but mischief, by adding one
more to the factions which divide and
weaken the conservative element Of
the State.

A Famous Raft.

The famous Red river raft, which
has obstructed the navigation of that
stream for many years, has. been more
than half cut through /; so far, indeed,
that small steamboats, of light draught,
coming from below, can now, be means
of bayous or side channels, make their
way into the upper river above the
great raft. This raft was formed by an
accumulation of fallen trees and drift
of all sorts which, having once cover
ed the surface of the river from bank
to bank and become firmly wedged in
place, grew rapidly by fresh accessiens
Of material brought down by the cur
rent until it was nine miles in length.
Soil was formed on it by the settling of
the river and by the decay of its ma
terial, and it was covered with grow
ing vegetation of all kinds, including
many large trees. The lower part of
the raft, being the oldest, gradually
rotted away, and portions were detach-
ed and carried off by the current, and
thus the raft travelled slowly up the
stream from year to year, but the gain
from above was much greater than the
loss below, so that the raft increased
in length faster than it moved up the
river. Several boats in the employ
ment of the United States are now en-
gagged with excellent success in cutting
through this raft. The process is de-
scribed by the correspondent of a
Western paper. First There is a
powerful tug boat which, coming up
from the raft below, makes fast to a
projecting log or tree, and pulls at it
until it is dragged out, usually bring
ing a large mass of roots, logs and
branches, matted and tangled togeth-
er. This is passed on to the boats be-
low, which are fitted up with large
saws worked by steam, and here the
floating island is separated, and the
log sawed up into short lengths and
set adrift again. Gunpowder or any
other explosive has not been found
useful in this work. The most COM
pact and stubborn portion of the
raft has already been cut through ;
what remains is expected to prove
comparatively light work, and this OBJ
stacle, formerly regarded as insupera-
BILE, to the navigation of the upper Red
river, will soon be entirely removed,
greatly to the advantage of southwes-
tern Louisiana and southern Arkan-
sas.

NEWSPAPER s'BEATs-p-We sup
pose there must be, at the most mod
est calculation, between fifteen hun
dred and two thousand persons in
this vicinity who get their daily news
paper reading for Notwithstanding
the unconscionab able individuals who
steal papers from other peoples doors,
or borrow from their neighbors, or
loaf around where newspaper is sub
scribed for, and paid for, and monopo-
lie it, to the exclusion of the rightful
owner We have had several subscri-
bers to stop their subscriptions, for no
fault of our carriers, as they admitted,
in n-delivery, but because their pa
pers, after being delivered, were pos
sessed by some Individual, as short of
conscience as of cash, who would take
possession of it. Thus, a newspaper,
which ought to be well supported by a
community for the general good it
does to that community, is made to
support the town, in measure-that
is, it is expected to live without resour-
ces, and to advertise the life and bust
ness of a town without the support
which is requisite to enable it to keep
it up to a metropolitan standard of ex-
eellence.t An individual should blush
to read paper habitually which an
other individual pays for. There are
too many people who read papers
which they do not pay for, and this is
for their eye especially, with the pur-
pose of soaring their conscience, if
they have any, and for the purpose of
appealing to those who do subscribe
and pay for newspapers, to keep them
filed and not permit them to get out of
their possession, in justice to them
selves as we'll as TO the printer, whose
capital and labor are invested in bu-
siness which serves to advertise the
commercial status of city in propor-
ton to the enterprise its substantial
