Removal of a Mans Jaw.

Last Monday a very difficult surgical OPP
Grafton was performed in this city by DR..
Paul +. Eve, assisted by DIS. Lindsey and
Duncan Eve. Fifteen years ago the man
upon whom the operation was performed
had his left jaw affected by a decaying
tooth, and from this the entire jaw-bone
became diseased. The part began to swell
and continued to grow worse until the I'M
fortunate man, who is a resident of Ruth
erfOrd county, became convinced that he
would die ifthe diseased part were not re-
moved, and so made up his mind to the
terrible risk.
After consulting the doctors, he came to
Nashville last week, attended by two
brothers, and the operation was begun at
half-past ten A. NJ, Monday. The flesh
was laid open on the left cheek. the bone
severed al the joint near the ear, the
" stomach tooth on the right side of the
chin pulled out, and the jaw-bone sawed
into at that point and entirely removed.
The operation lasted an hour, and was per-
formed in the presence of a number of
medical students.
Just before being put under the influence
of ether, the patient exclaimed that he
wanted to see his wife and children once
more, to which One of the physicians re-
piled that his only chance to do so was to
bear up bravely. He did bear the terrible
pain with remarkable fortitude and was
resting easily yesterday.

High Water,

The rise in the Cumberland continued
all day yesterday, and the river is now
much higher than it has been for many
years heretofore. Hundreds of our citi-
Zens visited the river yesterday to see the
immense eXpanSe of water which is back
ing up into all the low ground bordering
on the river. The fiat between the city
proper and North Nashville IS inundated
to such an extent that several houses are
submerged, and if the waters do not sub
side to-day, it will become necessary
to give the pupils of the Belleview School
a short vacation, as the building will be in
accessible except by means of skiffs and
canoes.
The merchants doing business near the
river fear that it will be necessary to re-
move the goods from their cellars, and, in
deed, some of them have taken this precau-
ton.
OnSouth Market street below Broad, the
water has entered the cellar of Rannie's
confectionery, and in the wine cellar of III.
& w. F. Baker, adjoining, the water com
menced running in last evening. In this
cellar is a large stock of fine wines npipes,
and to attempt to handle which would be
attended with considerable labor and diff
Guilty. The cellar of the cotton warehouse
of SpurlOck, Hoke Il Co, College street,
below Broad, is threatened, and if the rise
continues the cotton will have to be re-
moved to-day.
On the 18th inst. the depth of water
in the channel was twenty feet, and a rise
five feet was indicated that day, since
which date the rise has continued at the
following rate:
April s, seven feet eight inches; o, ten
feet four inches; 10, three feet; IL, one foot;
y, one foot; Is, one foot; II, one foot,
making the depth in the channel yesterday
fifty feet. The water was still rising at
10 o'clock last night, and will no doubt
continue during to-day, as the heavy rain
of Monday night passed off toward the
head of the Cumberland.
The plank sidewalk on North College
street, across Lick Branch. where the water
is at least twenty feet deep, is in a very
dangerous condition.
In Edgefeld the waters are spreading out
rapidly. Communication between the
bucket factory and terra firma is nearly cut
of, and in all probability the Waterman
who was making his rounds at that estab-
lishment last night alone will be required
to press a boat into service this morning in
oder to get out.
The back stretch of the ~race-cOurse is in
undated, and the horses were removed
from their stables last evening and brought
TO the city.
Senator Hughes who came in from Nc
MinnvAle yesterday, says that the rainfall
in that section of country Monday night,
vas ve-y heavy; that Collins river, and
Caney Fork are higher than they have been
before since 1850. and that an immense
volume Of water from those streams will
probably reach Nashville to-day. He re-
ports all the low land between McMinn-
vile and T~ullahoma, inundated.

Tbe Cotton Movement.

The Nel, York Financial Chronicle has
returns from the Southern ports, showing
the receipts, exports, etc, OF cotton for the
week ending April 10. Il appears that the
total receipts for the seven days have reach
ed j0.043 bales against 59,553 bales last
week, 63, I45 bales the previous week, and
67.51S bales three weeks since, makinSthe
total receipts since the first of September,
1873, SIT bales against S,10I,320bale
for the same period of 1S12-3, showing an
increase since Sept. l, 1873, of 344,49T
bales. The exports for the week ending
same date reach a total of S9.3Sl bales, of
which 5I.2S3 bales were to Great Britain,
1870 bales to France, and 24,3lS bales to
the rest of the continent, while the stocks as
made I'D are now 554,246 bales. Com
pared with the corresponding week OF last
season, there is an increase in the exports
this week of 2S,914 bales, while the stocks
are 62.O29 bales more than they We're at
this time a year ago. We make the fol-
lowing extract from the Chronicle at hand:
BOMBAY SHIPMENTS.-AccOrding to Il
cable dispatch received to-day, there have
been 5000 bales shipped from Bombay to
Great Britain the past week and 1900 bales
to the continent, while the receipts at Bonn
bav during the same time have been 1000
bales. Compared with last year there is
an increase Of %, 900 bales this year in the
weeks shipments from Bombay to Europe
and that the total movement since Jan. l
shows an increase in shipments of $1,000
bales compared with the corresponding
period of 1873.
VISIBLE SUPPLY OF COTTON MADE UP
BY CABLE AND TELEGRAPH.-Below we
give our table of visible supply, as made up
by cable and telegraph tonight. The con-
tinentai stocks are the figures of last Satur-
day, but the totals for Great Britain and
the ahoat for the Continent are this weeks
returns, and consequently brought down to
Thursday evening; hence to make the totals
the complete figures for tonight april 1O),
we add the item of exports from the

The New Uniform for Our Police
EOneR-

1t was stated in these columns afew days
since that a new uniform, to be worn by
the police force and consisting of a Pana-
ma hat, white vest, ditto trousers and
wooden blouse, had been adopted by the
Police Committee. 1t seems that in this
statement We erred, and that even a more
airy and picturesque costume was adopted
by said committee, aided and abetted by
the Mayor, if the following communication
to the CAPTAIN of the Police from the
Police Committee amounts to anything:
NASHVILLE, Tenn, April s, 1S14.-
Capt. w. H. Yater, Chief of Police. Dear
Sir: The following is a copy of resolutions
adopted by the Police Committee, in con-
junction with the Mayor, on the 9th of
April, 1874, there being present Messrs.
Cullom, chairman, Reddick, HALEY, and
Adams:
"At a meeting of the Mayor and City
Committee on Police, this day had, the
following uniform was unanimously adopt
ed by the same for the use ofthe officers and
police force from the 1st of May next to the
1St of October next, tO-wit:
each officer and man to wear a Panama
hat, and each number on each hat TO be en-
circled with a silver wreath; also, each Off
