From out her lavish horn,

The orange from its glossy green,

Our harvest fields with snow.

Our plows their burrows made,
While on the hills the sun and showers

We dropped the seed DER hill and plain,
Beneath the sun OF May,
And frightened from our sprouting gram
The robbcr crows away.
Al through the long bright days of June
It's leaves grew bright and lalr,
And waved in hot midsummer noon
Its soft and snowy hair.
And now with autumn's moonlit eyes

We pluck away lis frosty leaves,
Aid bear its treasures home.
Then richer than the tabled gifts
Apollo showercd Of old,
Fair hands the broken grains shall sift,
And kncad its meal Of gold,

Around the costly board;
Give Us the bowl and samp of milk
BY homc.pun beauty poured.
Then shame on all the proud and vain,
Whose folly laughs to scorn
The blessings OF our hardy grain,
our wealth Of golden corn.
Let earth withhold her @oOdly root,
Let mildew slight the rye;
Give to the worm the orchard fruit,
And whcat-fclds to the fly;
But let the good Old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trOd;
Still let US for his golden corn
Send up our thanks to God. -

ernor and Legislators of known integrity
and good business qualifications. 1t is
such men as the people want and net
politicians of the latter they are growing
exceedingly tired In the person of M.
BURNS we have a man of the people, and
who would work not for any particular
party, although life being Democrat,
but for the good of the whole people and
the general prosperity of the State. We
have known Mr.. BURNS, long and init
mately, we knew him in 1885 when me
chanic boys together in the city of Nash
vile. He is a self made man, having
worked out his own destiny. He has filled
many places of honor and trust, with
| credit both to himself and those he repre-
sented For many years a Director IN
Bank of Tennessee, and at the close OF
the war he was elected and served for
| several years as the President of the
| Nashville and Chattanooga and Nashville
| and Northwestern Railroads, and at the
| present President of the First Nationa
Bank ofNashville. He is man of greai
liberality, both in his political views anC
with his means. No appeal has ever beer
made to NJ. BURNS, for a worthy obJec
of charity and turned away empty handed
At his home where he is best known hi
has the entire confidence of all parties
We would like to see him made Governor
as we do not believe a better selection
could be made; for this reason we writ
this article, hoping his name may receive
the favorable consideration of the Maur
County delegates. Yours,

The following resolution was adopted
recently by the Democrats of Putnam
County, in convention. We have only TO
say that twenty cents on the hundred dol
lars will not pay off the interest on the
the State debt, and meet the current ex-
penses of our State-in fact, we have
assurances that less than the present rate
will not oft. Forty cents will do 1t, and
the Democracy will not have less. 1t
is better to have small sinking fund,
than too little:
Resolved, That while we are IN favor
of our State meeting and paying off all
her lust liabilities as soon as praclcabler
yet we are opposed to burthening and op-
pressing the people by heavy taxation
and are in favor of only such rates OF tax
alton for the present as may become nee
cessary to pay off the interest on our state
debt, and meet the current expenses o.
the State under an economical administra
ton of the State government

We have good news from Marshall
Jounty-the people are determined to
carry the Narrow Gauge Railroad right
through the county, whenever it touches
its borders, and every sign of opposition
has vanished. We are told that at the
last meeting of the County Court a Mag
istrate from the north side of Duck River
named SCoTT, moved that a lawyer be
employed to investigate the legality and
regularity of the last railroad vote IN the
county, and if he find anything irregular
and improper, to authorize him to com
mence suit in the courts to prevent the
collection of the railroad tax. This mo
ton was seconded by friend OF the road
aud when the vote was taken, Esq
| Scorr's vote was the only one recorded
in favor of it After this, we trust W
shall hear no one say that Marshall Coun
tv does not mean to build her part of tn

HoN. ASA Faulkner, in his recent ad-
dress at Manchester, Tenn, speaks OF
Duck River as an excellent power for
manufacturing purposes, and calls atten-
ton to the fact that water power IS vastly
cbeaper than steam. He furnishes a
forcible illustration in the following
words: 1--WE see that the Augusta, Ga,'
have declared an annual dividend OF ~
per cent for the last FIVE years, or has
Maid back in that time to its owners all
the capital thus invested. Then turn to
the Tennessee Manufacturing Company
cotton mills, in Nashville. One OF the
largest stockholders in the mill told me
that thew lost two thousand dollars by
running the mill during the month OF
April last, using the same sort of machine
nv, or perhaps better than that used IN
the Augusta mill; and the only visible
difference IN the running of the two mills
to an outsider, is that the Augusta mill
is propelled by water-power, while the
Nashville mill is propelled by steam"
| Common SGuS0 l6dChCo uo ehtsS NAA'-0
and yet our people do not seem to realize
the fact. Duck River is one of the bes
streams in America for manufacturing
purposes. Its fall is great, its bottom II
solid rock, and its banks are high ant
generally has bluff on one side tits s.
crooked that by little labor and expens'
a fall of many feet can be obtained
Take it altogether, there is no river equa
to Duck River for manufacturing pun
poses. Its banks are so high that Their
need be no danger from foods or freshet'
flour farmers would quit cotton and TAX
up grain and stock raising, they coul
take the capital now required to produc
5 the cotton crop and invest in manuta'
, tories in our mist. Nothing makes
country so rich as manufactures, an
