We saw this week curiosity brought
s5 Mr.. C. F. Weaver from the Indian Ter
ritsry, were he found it on the prairie
while cunning. 1t is somewhat in the
shape of the old Indian stone axes which
used to be found in this region, only much
larger. It is very heavy for the size. En-
cireling it in traverse directions are two
rings Of darker color; the whole bearing
the appearance of having been an instru-
ment of wood, wrapped with a withe, and
then being petriisd. 1t has been the OBJ
Ject of good deal of speculation here.
To he seen at Mitchell's drug store.
-Woodlawn Camp meeting commenced
"a Tuesday last. 1t is said to be decidedly
THE largest ever held in this section of
Maryland, numbering 1913 tents. The min
listers in charge are the Revs. Tompkinson
and Martindale. The eloquent divine, the
Rev DR.. Bartine, of New York, will
preach on Sunday morning, and quite
number Of other very eminent ministers
have signified their intention of attending
the meeting. Quite number of families
and members of the Church from Port
Deposit, Havre de Grace, Oxford, Elkton,
Charlestown, North East and Wilmington
have tents there. 1t is reported that Mrs.
Nan Colt is expected to visit the meeting.
The weather for some days past has
been such as to create the fear that much
sickness may prevail this Fall Already
there have been some cases of fever; and
it is a matter in which all should interest
themselves. Everything that is at all like
ly to act in concert with the unfavorable
atmosphere should be removed or avoided.
All decayed or decaying vegetable matter
should be destroyed; immoderate eating
should DO guarded against; no fruit or
vegetables that are not perfectly sound
should be eaten. There are few healthier
locations than the greater part of our coun-
try as general thing; but the present
season requires great precaution on the
part Of all.

The distance from here to Baltimore, by
water, is about sixty-five miles, and this
trip is looked upon in aquatic circles as a
very extraordinary feat. The gentlemen
were merely experimenting, and returned
to-day on the cars. Ipterviewers received
with the utmost courtesy.
"DowN THE RIVER. THAT is a happy
temper which leads one to see in his own
country and in his own locality circum-
stances and scenes superior to those exist
ing elsewhere and delighting others in
their turn. Here at Elkton we have nc
cloud reaching mountain; no wild and crag-
gy hills; no leaping waterfalls. True, we
have "Red Hill, Flint Hill," &C., that
swell up like waves from the plains, and
we have mill dam, which gives us little
flashing cascade. We do not allude to
these with delight. But the river-the
grand old Elk River-so unsightly to some,
is to many of us a gem. Well may the
people of Elkton be proud of it. To
spend day on her beautiful green banks
this hot and languid weather is pleasure
not enjoyed by all. 1t was the good for
tune of the writer to be numbered among
a small party of ladies and gentlemen who
spent Thursday of last week, on "Joe
Georges Shore" and it was day of real
unalloyed pleasure to all. The day was
spent fishing, sailing, playing croquet, and
doing justice to an abundance of "cold
whites" Certainly day thus spent now
and then has a tendency to revive and
quicken those noble feelings which are toe
apt to be blunted by contact with the ho
and selfish world. As for us we like to 90
fishing quietly away by solitary waters
where noise and sunshine, and call other
folks ~ come not to disturb us.
"Oh lone and lovely haunts are mine,
Soft, soft the river flows;
Wearing the shadow of my line,
The gloom Of alder boushs."

A LETTER FROM ASHLAND CITY.


EDITORS CHRoNIcLE:-Our Circuit
Court met here last Monday, his Hon
or, j. E. Rice, present and presiding
Very little business done, only two or
three civil suits disposed of, several
misdemeanors submitted and fined in
sums ranging from one to ten dollars.
The only case Of any importance
tried, was that of the State VS.. w. d.
Grant, for rape. The State was rep
resented by Attorny-General Multi
gan, j. w. Rice, and L. I. Cobb, of
Springfield. The defence was con-
Quoted by P. G. S. Perkins, Jacob
Leech and S. ID. Power. The argu-
ment was concluded on the part of the
State Tuesday evening after supper,
jury charged and given in the charge
of the Sheriff. On Wednesday morn
ing they returned a verdict of mot
guilty" That about wound up the
! court.
Such times for the farmers have
never been seen in this county, moi
within 'the recollection of the oldest
inhabitant.' We have had no rair
here of consequence since April: veg
citation looks as brown almost as il
autumn. None of the farmers on the
river and creeks are done planting
corn, and as for tobacco, that is mum
bered with the things that were. l d.
not suppose that there is one acr'
planted now where, at this season
there are usually planted ten. Th
farmers could not prepare their land
on account of the dry weather. TIL
plants (what few there were) are nearl
all dead, having literally burned u
in the beds. Spectators must no
calculate on much tobacco from Cheat
ham this year. Oats are almost en-
tirely burnt up, and where they hav
had vitality enough to head, they ar
not much more than foot high. Th
Wheat crop is moderately fair an
pretty we'll harvested.
The present indications are thu
there will not be anything like cor
enough raised in the county, to SUI
ply the home demand. The preser
outlook for something to eat for al
other year, is anything but favorable
The people have stopped talking an
! specializing about how much tobacc
they will raise and what will be til
price, but now the question is abo,
something to eat.
4 The Ashland City Sunday Soho,
will have picnic, at Lenox's Sprin
: near here, on the 4th of July next,
which we extend cordial invitatio
to The CHRoNICNE force entire. S
come along and we will give you ii
g full benefit of Cheatham county no

mic on the 4th, it is distinctly III
derstood that we do not propose

Crop Prospects In North Mississippi
and West Tennessee.
WAvFRLY, TENN, June q.

WAvFRLY, Tenn, June q.
Having spent the past five weeks in
North Mississippi and West Tennessee
think | am repaired to give you a
correct account of the crop prospects
in these two sections of the country.
The cotton crop looks we'll, but Is
three weeks later than usual. Corn, Of
which there is one-half less planted
than there orght to haye been, looks
we'll, aud h; been well cultivated.
The farmers complain of dry weather;
still | think enough rain has fallen in
North Mississippi during the past ten
days for all practical purposes. More
wheat has been raised in the southern
portion of West Tennessee and North
Mississippi than was ever known. The
experience of the past year in raising
wheat ought, and | hope will, be les
son to those who have tried it, and
hereafter a greater fort will be made
to raise enou h grain Tor home con

A CARD.

We understand that it is currently
reported and circulated in New Prov
idence, that We made aneffort or threat
ened to have The L. S. Troops come
down and arrest one Mr.. John john
son and family, on account of an af-
frav which took place between said
johnson and family, and one Torian
and wife, (col. } in which Torian's wife
was killed. Now we take this method
of denOuneing said report as utterly
false and slanderous, in every partic-
ular. We claim to be law abiding
citizens, and are willing that justice
be melted out to every one, regardless
of color or sex, We have had nothing
to do with the difficulty referred to,
neither for or against either party, and
hope the report will be hurled in the
face of the author, be who he may, as
a foul, slanderous and malicious false
hood. NJ w. OGBURN,

SENATOR MORRILL, who voted for
the Civil Rights Bill at every stage of
its progress through the Senate, was
expelled, few evenings after, from a
negro church. He was served accord
ing to his deserts, for white man who
would confer social rights upon ne
groes, which he denies to himself, is
unfit to enter a colored church. What
sort of social equality is that which
gives negroes free access to places be-
longing to, and frequented by, whites
whilst no remedy is provided for the
poor white who is kicked out of a ne
gro congregation. 1t is not socia
equality, but negro ascendancy that i,
intended by the Civil Rights Bill.

WHILST we do not question the right

WHILST we do not question the right
of Col. Burch to sue the Banner, nor
of the Banner to sue the Union and
American, we claim, in behalf Of the
Democratic and Conservative voters of
Tennessee, the right to insist that
these Metropolitan organs shah cease to
quarrel through their columns. They
have referred their cases to the ar
bitrament of the Courts, and it is
not proper that, in advance of a
trial they should attempt to build upa
public sentiment pro or con. tits es-
pecially improper at this juncture,
when the energies of every opponent
of Radicalism, should be exerted in
behalf of harmony and union. The
country Press, we think, has right te
demand that this personal difficult,
shall not be made a cause of publ,
discord, thus endangering the success,
of the opposition.
