A TELEGRAM announces that May
nard can succeed Judge Milligan, if he
will accept the position. But he will
not accept. So great is his hatred of
the Conservatives of Tennessee, that
he will persist in his efforts to break
them down, believing that Andy
johnson cannot do it, without his aid.

THE situation IN Arkansas is very
suggestive of Washington policy-that
is, to Cypress the South as luxury,
and prevent its recuperation that New
England may flourish. The contemp-
tible subterfuge, that Congress cannot
interfere except to infict wrong, is
one of the many low flung charac-
teristics of a very low-fung " set of
officials. In Louisiana, Grant op-
pointed a judge who unseated Emery
and placed Kellogg, miserable ad-
venturer, in the gubernatorial chair.
Is he playing the same game in Arkan-
sas, through another judicial tool ?
However strenously this may be de-
MED, the weight of precedents in favor
ofthis Interpretation, will make it diff
cult to disabuse the minds ofthought-
full men of the impression that the
muddle in Arkansas is the result of
Washington policy towards the South.

WE are indebted to our talented and
energetic friend. Col. J. B. Kille-
brew. for advanced sheets of the forth
coming Report of the Agricultural
Bureau. These sheets contain the re-
port on the Iron and Coal fields of
Tennessee, their location and extent
together with a very concise and luc d
account of their geological formation.
The report develops an extent of min
eral wealth, scarcely dreamed of by
those whose dwellings stand above the
precious deposits. We have not the
space for the facts and figures which
give value and interest to the ably
written report which, in our opinion,
will do more 10 bring immigrants into
the State than any agency yet gotten up
with that express view. The: e
exhauStlesS sources of wealth, and
the immense amount Of water power,
timber and limestone offer in
ducements to labor and capital,
not surpassed by any State. Climate
and soil added, make total ofinduce-
ments which cannotfail, when set forth,
as they are in the Report, to invite i'm
migration ofthe most approved charac-
ter OF the portions Of the work de-
voted to agricultural aud other inter-
ests, We can say nothing. but judging
from what we have read, the whole will
make book of incllculable interest
and value to Tennesseeans.

FOR BOXERS.

This Compound is a sure remedy, and is
of great benefit to the trees. Nearly every
farmer possessing an orchard has more OF
less trees killed every year by these pests
and the fruit wilted or dried on the trees

mature it. Read what Mr.. DeMoss' neigh.
bors say about this preparation:
We, the undersigned, are well acquainted
with II. +. DeMoss, and have often seen and
admired his beautiful orchard; also know
that he has been washing his trees with
some Compound which has greatly i'm
proved them, both in beauty and growth
making the bark as smooth and as rich as
that on a scion; and from close examina-
ton are perfectly satisfied that his Com
pound is all that he claims il to be-a sAFg
and sure remedy for the Borers that are
destroying so many fruit trees in our
country. This we know to he the case by
comparing washed with unwashed trees in
the same orchard. The latter, which were
but a few feet from the former, we found to
be either ruined or dead. A look into his
orchard will convince any man of the
Wash. We consider IL indispensable to any
one raising fruit trees OF any kind.
