THE FARMERS VINDICAToR.

Of an era freighted with Regeneration
and redemption. Our beloved South
land, SO long victimized by rings and
monopolies, under its magic influence
will rise in the majesty of its manhood,
break the letters that binds it to hope
less despair, and will stand in all the
dignity of its unconquerable spirit,
aided and supported by the invincible
power Of the greaS brotherhood.
AS we examine the history Of the
period that has elapsed since grim
visaged war smoothed its wrinkled
'front.' we fail to observeany feature that
bears the slightest semblance to justice
or genuine affiliatIon with our section.
The breach engendered by the red
hand of war, the prejudice growing
out Of its cruelties, and the hostility
incurred by its exercises, have only
been strengthened by the grinding
usurpations and exacting extortion,
that followed and rested in its wake.
Our excellent Order, based upon
principles Of strict justice, and gov.
erned by an enlightened spirit, bids us
be Of good cheer. 1t points us to bea-
cons streaming from the lighthouses
it has placed along the shores Of our
storm.lashed land, and although bill
lows may rise to mountain heights, yet
their spray will be tinted and gemmed
with the bright hues of our Order, and
the light ever beaming from the lofty
submits Of its watch-towers, will guide
the barques that bear our destiny, into
peaceful harbors and Ravens of rest.
Our people are not sullen or vindic-
tive. All we ask is simple justice and
a recognition Of acknowledged rights.
Give us the assurance that our man.
hood will be respected and justice
will be meeted out to us, and the mem
cries Of the dark past, will no longer
rankle in our bosom, but the great
heart Of the South will respond in I'M
mistakable accents, and our people
will clasp hands in cordial harmony
across the bloody chasm.

RANDOM TMOUGHTs.

MAJ. WALL: We have been trying
the plan Of raising turkies, as suggest
ed through the columns of your paper,
and wish to give you and your
readers the result; we had sixteen heal.
thy looking ones Matched out, and not.
withstanding we took great deal Of
pains with them, the last one departed
this life, several days ago, and was
buried with childrens honors. Wet
spring the cause. ED. vi
Crops that have been planted and
worked since the heavy rains are look
ing well, most Of us are crowded with
our work, trying to get our cotton and
corn thinned out in time.
l gave Boards goard-seed corn trial
last year with great satisfaction. It is
fine and no mistake, easy to shell, easy
to grind, and far superior to my old
common flinty corn, which | have been
planting for number of years. | haye
planted more of it this year, in antici-
patton Of very large yield, / do not
expect to see anything to beat it,
Will you Mr., Editor, or some CON
tributor to your paper, inform me the
best and cheapest plan for under drain
ing ponds. An ordinary ditch from
these ponds to the creek, fill up nearly
every overflow, they are generally the
best land, and under the circumstances
can't be cultivated until very late.
/ have learned that green cotton
seed, with little salt mixed, and Civ.
en- to mich COWS in the summer time,
will make them improve in their milk,
while in the winter it is worthless, try
it Patrons, you will be pleased with the
result,
Our Grange up to this time has
been as family without home, we
have now rented hall for the balance
of the year, and hope our Grange will
be more prosperous, some of our
Patrons attend very irregular, Broth
ers let us be more prompt in at
tendance, we cannot make anything a
a success, without giving it attention.
| expect to be Granger as long
as there theresis one in the country,
and when that breaks up, I'll swing
to the tail with the Patrons grip.
A GRANGR.
ANSWER; The best way to drain the
pond, would be by an underdIain.
Cut the drain deep and give it fall
enough to carry off the water. Then
take white oak, or post oak rails six
inches thick, and lay on each side of
the bottom of the drain and cover
with slab, leaving an opening of six
inches square-even pine poles would
do. Timber put two or three feet be-
low the surface of the ground would
last a life time. A drain of this kind
can be made cheaply, and will answer
every purpose,

A LITTLE HERo.-The Royal HUI
name society of Great Britain has
just transmitted its medal with suit.
able testimonial, to a little fellow nam
ed Alfred Ingham, aged only eleven,
who rescued another boy named Halli-
we'll, from the canal at Sowerby-bridge,
Yorkshire. Halliwell, it seems, was
playing with several other boys on the
canal bank, when he accidentally fell
into the water. The cries of his COM
panions, who were paralyzed with fear
and made no effort to save him, brought
Ingham to the spot. After diving
several times, he succeeding in rescu-
ing him. Ingham seems to have
learnt not only to swim well, but how
to treat persons apparently drowned,
for, on getting the boy on the bank,
he placed him on his stomach and gen.
tly rolled him from side to side. The
boys mother offered him money, which,
however the brave little fellow declined.

THE BUSINESS OF KNOXVILLE.

As the year of 1874 draws 10 a close
our business men post their books To
get the results of the years labors 4:
they find that, with all its drawbacks,
II has been prosperous year to most
Of them. The wholesale trade of
Knoxville has been greater this year
than ever before. Such houses as
Cowan, McClung & Co., Sanford.
Chamberlain q Albers, w. w. Wood.
rud d Co., Carpenter, Ross d Lockett,
Williams, Zimmerman d Wilson, COT.
nm, Martin & Co., J. w. Parmelee &
Co., Hawkins, Butt & Co, Hoxsie &,
DePue, o. b. Smith & Co, and Will
Iisms, Sturges & Co.. have all increased
their wholesale trade. In many Of The
firms named, the increase has been
large. We note the same report true
of Memphis and Nashville, and most
Of the interior msrts of trade. There
is yet an abundance OF produce in East
Tennessee Wheat has, unfortunately.
been held for higher price which.
now seems mprobable-but when il
moves, business will receive a new
impetus.
When Congress finally acts upon the
currency question, and the country
'eels that definite policy is certain,
we look for a general revival Of bust
ness. II is the opinion of many expe-
rienced men that the Spring of 1870
II not the entire year-will prove one
OF the most prosperous known for a
long time. Knoxville business men
are on sound footing, have good cred
IL good reputation for fair dealing.
&C. are iavorably situated to reap the
most OF the prosperous season now
promised, Goods can be sold here as

PLAIN TALK FROM BEECHRR.

The last Christian Union contains a
semi-ofiicial editorial giving Mr..
Beecher's policy in relation to the suits
now pending which have grown out
of the charges affecting his character
and that Of Mrs. Tilton. He says in
answer to the criticism, that there has
been delay, that no suits of EQUAL
magnitude have ever been pushed for
ward more speedily. The bill of par
ticulars which he demanded the plain.
tiff should present in his declaration,
and which the highest court of the
State has ordered, is simply required
to give him notice Of what he NAV
be called upon to meet in evidence,
and that it is not intended to limit the
investigation to any particular act,
but that he intends and wants to meet
fully every charge that can be pre-
ferred.
He says: And this leads me tJ saw
that no acqulttal is asked, or will be
accepted, in this case, upon any mar
row, or technical, or apoiogeticp round
No matter what false construction NAV
have been put upon his language, the
defendant never has sought, and never
will seek, to excuse himself by throws
ing blame upon Others for any fault
that belonged even in part to him. If
IL were true that he had committed the
crime charged against him, il would
be his crime, for which he alone should
answer. No one shall in his behalf
palliate the offense charged or plead
that allowance should be made for
temptation or weakness. No one shall
speak or IL as less than an atrocious
crime, made tenfold worse, il the de-
PENDANT were really guilty, by his sub
sequent conduct in adding oath upon
oath to his denials.
The defense of this suit will never
proceed upon any theory which does
not recognize the honor of EliZabeth
Tilton az at least equally worthy Of
protection with the name of Henry
Ward Beecher.
Finally, there will be no compro-
mise. No suggestion Of the kind has
been accepted since the commence
ment OF the suit, and none will be ac-
cepted 10 its end. Many well-meant
and some ill-meant) propositions upon
this subject have been made TO the de-
Tense, aud occasional inquiries arise
concerning 1t. Let it suffice, once for
all, that there never has been, and
never will be, any disposition on the
part OF the defense TO settle, or har-
monte, or compromise on any basis |
except the unequivocal retraction of
the false charges which constitutes the |
foundation Of the suit. 1t is well |
known that the defendant has been |
no party, directly or indirectly, TO any
made in other cases
and If any rumor Of compromise in |
the principal case is ever started, the
