From an Occasional Correspondent
DANvILLE, November 20, 1S74.-In
nv last letter from this place, 1 dwelt
mainly on the present and future pros
poets Of this hOuTishing border town.
Now 1 propose to speak Of the aIacent
counties of the two States, their agTicul-
tural products, etc. The border counties
Of Virginia and North Carolina have
long been noted for producing the finest
yellow tobacco in the United States, and,
in fact, we might say in the world. We
had a good opportunity Of seeing speci-
mems Of this fine weed at the late agri-
cultural fair, held at this place in the
early part Of the present month, under
the auspices Of the Border agricultu-
raj association Of Virginia and North
Carolina, which was decided success
in every particular. Articles OF almost
every class and description were exhib-
tied from various portions Of the country.
some OF, the yellow-leaf tobacco that
bore of the blue ribbon, was sold few
DAYS since at public auction, in this
market, for one hundred and sixty dol
lars per hundred. The exhibition Of
farm and garden products were fine,
both IN variety and quality. The rings
% hlOOded stock would compare very
fayOrably with many Of the stock fairs
in the famed Blue grass regions Of Ten
neasee and kentucky-sO much so, that
one almost imagined himself in the new
and fertile west, and not in this old and
wOrn-out country, as the average farmer
would say. The farmers IN this section
are fully aroused to the import
snce Of cheap transportation,
small farms, dealing with first
hands, and unity on the
labor question; hence the grangers are
yerv popular and adding TO their num-
bers and increasing in strength every
dav. being headed by the most intelli-
ge1t and successful farmers in Virginia
and North Carolina. They are already
proclaiming that they are realizing great
beneficial results from the organization,
l suppose on the hypothesis that union
is strength. We do not propose TO pass
8 newspaper eulogy upon any one, but
simply to ask 10 be INDUCED TO speak q
few words OF encouragement to The ris-
ing youth Of our country by citing them,
As An example Of energy, to a self-msde
man of the present day. We refer to
Major w. 7. Eutherlin, who is now the
grest head-center Of the grange move
nent IN Virginia and North Carolina.
AZ was born in Pittsylvania county, in
this State. Of honest and respectable pa
rents. and is now on the shady side OF
fortv-eight years. He started life in this
city as a factory boy IN one OF the large
tobacco factories. By his close applica-
ton to business, combined with his great
energy and foresight, be has risen in
position aud wealth. His fortune is va
figuslv estimated 10 be between a quar-
ter and 3 half million dollars, the earn
inRs OF his own hands. He has held
various positions Of public gift, from

The weather was delightful.yesterday,
sad many Of our business people took
advantage u the holiday 10 go into the
Fields and woods and indulge in the
beautiful eDioyments the country sf-
'oris. The bauks, cotton exchange and
other public Offices were closed, and No
kilograms were received on business
matters, aud why the form Of keeping
stores open until dinner time came, was
hardly apparent. There WAS no dispo-
siliJn 70 do business, and out little was
done. In the iced market 200 sacks Of
ear corn changed hands At Soc. Oats
were not offering; they are duh aud
lower in Chicago, and duh and unset
tied ia st. Louis, . state Of things hardly
favorable TO the idess Of an important adj
vance which some OF our dealers have
been INDUCING in. Bran was offered Al
81, but there were no takers at that
figure; 81 81 was offered for it.
C5rnmeal remained ar s. 80, but
is dull and weak, snd some deslers
look for lower prices, yet st. Louis quo
tauons are $ 6063 IS, and the freight
thence 10 Memphis is 4Oc per barrel. It
viii take sharp brain in the last system

amount Of profit On present transactions
but there are people that viii send
goods 10 be sold at a distance for prices
they will not accept in their own stores.
Potatoes and apples appeared to be firm
er; 100 barrels Of the latter, soft New
York pippins, sold on the landing at
- 81. Cabbage has been 4 stranger 10
this market for over a week. Eggs sold
81 266 &c. Some dressed chickens were
selling 81 s. 5093 50 dozen. Ducks at
Ssa3 50, geese at 81 50,a5, and line tur-
keysat Sl2G20, met with proper Thanks
giving-day attention. Some fine large
dressed turkeys were especially patron
led, bringing 10000 per pound. The
Hrst spare-ribs Of the season were taken
al &c per pound by the barrel. There was
nothing doing in bacon, bulk meats OF
lard TO indicate any change Of price.
The cotton exchange, as We have re-
marked, was closed, and there was, Of
course, nothing done in the staple to call
for a remark.

CUMBIA.
We are very proud OF the promptnes'
with which the merchants Of our city
responded to the cal for help from the
people OF Tuscumbis, so sorely smitteI
10y misfortune, and we deeply regret tia
our city fathers could not find il in theil
hesrts to do something in the name o
Memphis. We must never forget that
we owe s. debt Of gratitude that it is in
e1mbent upon us TO pay as opportunity
offers, and we trust for our credits sakt
the people will avail themselves Of the
call for help by the committee OF me
chamber Of commerce, and contribute
Whatever they can of clothing, food sno
money for the relief OF the people o.
Tuscumbia. We have before us a let
ter nom a gentleman who, q few
DAYS since. visited that once beau
tim town, in which he says
the half has not been told,
snd that the devastation defies any
words at his command to describe.
Several dwellings were entirely swept
away and the streets and approaches to
tue town were obstructed by the debris.
The storm ragged but q little while, but
tue damage it inflicted is far beyond
any present means Of repsrstion by the
stricken people. Over one hundred
thousand dollars worth Of buildings
alone were destroyed, and the furniture
and household goods may reasonably be
computed NJ half rs much more. This
% s. community so small, OF limited
means and limited opportunities for re-
suscitation, is equal to the loss to Mem
phis Of two million dollars worth. Ut
terly Frustrated by so unlocked for sno
severe a destruction Of property, the
people Of Tuscumbia look to Us as 10
other communities for relief snd help.
They must not look in vain. We urge,
therefore, upon the committee OF the
chamber Of commerce renewed energy
aud effort begging at the same
time that the people respond ho-
orally 10 their sppeal ana ours. we
also urge upon all resident Ala
bsmians attendance at the meeting
called Tor today at the chamber Of COM
me-ce, in the hope that a fresh effort
may he made 10y those who are in the
bonds OF love As well As sympathy with
the citizens Of Tuscumbia. Between
lueir efforts AID those Of the committee
OF the chamber of commerce, something
handsome ought to result.

of Republican consistency and Re-
publican principle on the other
what will be its effect on the presiden-
tial election of 1892 All acts of violence
and injustice toward the cclored voters
will be as certainly reported to Congress
as the riot of 1866. If it shall appear
that undue agencies have been employed
by White Leaguers or anybody else to
keep the colored people from the polls,
the colored vote will be cast in 1876 free
and untrammeled if every colored voter
has to be conveyed to the polls by three
American soldiers. 1t is not prudent to
provoke power armed with law.
It is still less prudent to provoke the
lawful exercise of power by an act in
violation of the law. But before the cleo
ton of 1876 comes the next session OF
Congress. Before that body are pending
some bills Of extreme importance to Lou
isiana- The levee reparation concerns the
White League more than it does the COL
ored laborers. Why? Because the White
Lacquer owns the land behind the. levees
and SO must stay; the colored laborer
owns no land and may take his vote with
his labor elsewhere. The impro vement of
the Mississippi outlet is another measure
wholly dependent on the three hundred
congressional votes. Will it be wise at
this juncture, when Louisiana has so much
at stake, to concentrate the political and
sectional prejudices of the whole Repub-
ican party against her?
We argue for the maintenance of law
according to its letter and spirit, and have
made this impartial statement of what
must lay in the path of local resistance to
law. because, as citizens of Louisiana, we
wish her peace and prosperity. Men have
before to-day seen nothing before them
except a troop Of timid and defenseless
negroes. They have masked themselves
that they might murder with impunity,
but they have found that behind that terri
fed, unarmed and flying throng, there
were the grim batteries Of the law; that
there was prescience Of their purpose
that saw through their muslin masks, and
