WE acknowledge our error in stat
ing that the Louisville correspondent,
Mr.. Merrill, said Princeton claims
600 Inhabitants" &c. He was speak
ing of Eddyville. The error was I'M
intentional, as we believe our neighbor
of the Banner thinks. Far be it from
us to say or do anything to detract
from the reputation of any neighbor-
ing town or city. But our slip of the
pen will, in this case, do more good
than harm, as We gave the Banner man
a good chance to set forth the merits
of his pretty town and prettier women.
If you are not satisfied with this cor
rection, Mr.. Banner, meet us at the
State line, and let an umpire be ap-
pointed to settle the matter.

DOG TAX.

We know there is strong, but-as
believe-misfaken prejudice against
taxing dogs. If, however, any one will
calculate-eyen proximately--the num-
Der of dogs in this county, most of
which are worse than useless, he will
see how much such tax will add to
the school fund. But, some argue
that the tax will amount to a mere
trife because rather than pay it, the
dogs will be killed; if so sheep rails
ing may be made profitable, and the
wool and mutton saved under the oper-
alton of the tax, will add no small
item to the aggregate value of agricul-
tural products, and if the food given
to dogs, were fed to pigs the bulk of
pork would be greatly enlarged.
If man were to travel through the
county to get up dog statistics his re-
turns would show the largest proper
tionate number of dogs among those
least able to indulge such dog-gon' d
fancy, and many owning a dog that
own nothing else. And, we think, he
would report, as true in general, that
the number of dogs on any given farm,
is a good index to the thrift and com
fort of the family that harbors them.
There are exceptional cases of rich
men who keep many dogs to contribute
to their passion for sport, but those
CANNES are worse than usless, because
they entice their owners from useful
employment and encourage neglect of
high duties, and ought, therefore, to be
taxed not only as measure of politi-
cal economy, but as promotive of NOR
al and industry.
In town, there is no apology for
keeping dogs, except well trained ter
riers, or perhaps. poodles to be caressd
by fair ladies when their two-legged
puppies are out. A good guard dog
like an honest man-has spoor show
ing among thieves and is sure ola dose
of strychnine whenever his honest Wig
lance becomes known to prowling
depredators. If the useful dog is not
permitted to live in town, why not tax
cut of it, the many ours and bench
legged fees whose nightly yelping and
bowling is serious annoyance to all
who love unbroken slumbers and, es-
pecially, to the nervous sick upon
whom quiet has most sanitary infu-
ence. What is the6ifference, in equi-
ty, between filming man for not abat-
ing a nuisance, and taxing him for
keeping a nuisance on his premises

If we cannot build the railroads
projected for the benefit Of Clarks-
vile, suppose we try steam wagon for
the roads running out into the rural
districts. There is said to be such a
wagon running, or about to run, be-
tween Pulaski and Nashville, with a
capacity of 10000 pounds of freight,
or sixty passengers. Its broad tires
will keep turnpikes in good order and,
no doubt, in good weather will prove
a success on dirt roads. With such a
wagon on each of the pixies running
to, or cross the State line-much
freight which goes elsewhere, may be
brought here, besides doing good
business in carrying passengers.

TEE FouRTH or JuLY.- -The declar-

The Fourth OF JULY.--The declar-
alton of Independence was proclaimed
50 years ago, yesterday. The Cincin-
natl Enquirer has the following
thoughts suggested by a comparison of
things then and now:
Although one hundred years, an
even century, will not have elapsed
from the date when independence was
actually proclaimed, yet we have passed
that period when the great revolution
airy events occurred. The firing of the
troops upon the people of Boston was
in ITO, one hundred and three years
ago. What century has that been
to the United States Imagination
usually outruns reality, but this is a
case where it falls far short of it. OF
all our revolutionists there were none
who saw further into the future-none
who left better evidences of it-than
old John Adams, the second President
of the United States. In 1855, when
but twenty years old, he wrote letter
to friend in which he gave a partial
foreshadowing of the future Of this
country. He had evidently read Bish-
op Berkeley's poem about " Westward
the star of empire takes its way" but
whocould have foreseen the develop
ment of this country?
Then four months was a passage
across the Atlantic. Now it has been
bridged by instantaneous telegraph,
and by ten days passage by steamer.
There is nothing in all history like the
riseand progress of the United States.
We have achieved that in single CEN
fury which t usually requires ten cen
turtles to develop. A hundred years
ago we were nothing. Now we are, all
things considered, the greatest empire
upon the globe, exercising more infu-
ence upon current events. 1773-1S73
what a mighty chasm separates the
periods and marks the passage of time
We can hardly calculate that there was
then a germ of that country of which
we are so mighty a development
What a wonderful century we have
passed and are passing"

PERSONAL. : Our former fellow
countyman, Mr.. w. G.. Whitefeld,
now of Paducah, paid us visit this
week.
Theo. Hartman, Esq, of railroad
notoriety has deserted the wilds of Ar
kansas, and has concluded to spend a
portion Of the heated term among his
old friends and associates of this city
and vicinity. Our latch-string hangs
ON the outer door subject to your COM
mand, old boy.
We made the acquaintance, this
week of Mr.. Froelich, of Murfrees-
boro, brother of our townsman, l..
Froelich. We learn from him that he
was member of the printing craft in
Europe and followed the business for
several years in the city of New York.
Like sensible man who wants to
make living, he has turned his at
tention to a pursuit in which there is
more money.

CHOLERA ITEMS.

The health of our city up to this
time is as good as usual, at this season
Of the year. There is. as we stated
last week, a predisposition to lux and
dysentery. We learn Of one case, that
of negro women, in the neighbor-
hood Of the gas works, who acted very
imprudently in eating, was taken down
last Sunday. No physician saw her
until she was in a decided collapsed
state-she died that day. 1t is beliey-
ed that the disease, in her case, run
into cholera. Most of the sickness
here is confined to the negroes, who
againstall advice, eat any UNDERWRITING
they can get, and, as a general thing,
do not procure the attention ola physi-
clan in the first stages of the disease.
The bowel affections among the whites
here readily yield to medical treat
ment, so far.
At Erin, on the railroad below here,
there have been nine fatal cases with
in the last ten days; of this number,
Der, Mr.. John Lockhert, of the firm of
Thomas & Lockhert, died on the I'd
inst. He was attending to business
the day before. Mr.. Thomas Gilman,
also well the day before, died on the
I'd. No cases have occurred at the
Grand Central Hotel.
In Memphis, there were 10 inter-
ments on the LIST inst, of which eight
were from cholera.
There were7 deaths from cholera at
Franklin, KY, on the 1st., DIR. Sud-
darth, an old physician, among the
number.
At Nashville, on the I'd, six deaths
occurred-which shows that the terri
BILE. disease will soon disappear.
Up to the End inst, there had been
% deaths at Goodlettsyille, II miles
fr0m NASHVILLE.
The Lebanon Herald, of the End
inst, reports the total deaths in "a
days at %, of which % were from
cholera.
Gallatin adyices to the End inst,
state only death in two days, two Of
which were cholera.
Seven deaths from cholera at Chat
tanooga, On the End.
Up to the End inst, q deaths had
occurred in Murfreesboro, since its ap-
pearance there.
No cholera in Wavery, Humphreys
county, up to the End inst.

DURING THE FEVER epidemic of last
month, the stock of Ayers Ague Cure in
the Old North State became exhausted, and
before q supply could be received from
Lowell, the:suffering from chills and fever
became fearful. A few parties were so for.
tunate as to have 1t on hand, and in IredeIi
County, the druggists eked out their slens
der stocks by selling doses-a spoonful
each-for a dollar. Many paid ten dollars
for a bottle, when the regular price is but
one, and thought themselves favored at
that, so valuable are the curative proper
ties of this preparation, which not only
expels the poison from the system, but
leaves the patient with unimpaired health
and vigor.-Raleigh IN. CO. Standard.
