ROSIN-Since our report OF the
market of the 29th ult. nothing very
remarkable has TRANSFERRED to call forth
this article, but as it is our usual GUS
tom to give our readers all the infor-
nation we can gather from week to
week on the different markets, as a
matter of duty to them, we place be-
fore them what has occurred of inter
est since our last The rosin market
has been very quiet and has moved
slowly but steadily. Strained on spot
has receded from So 30 to 81 %. At
the latter figures, however, the market
has been firm and buyers have pur-
chased all the large lots offered. For
future delivery transactions have been
small and very little interest has been
taken in the forward months, the
principal demand being for spot resins.
The supply of tonnage has increased
during the week, and there is more
accommodation to shippers. The re-
celpts for the week were, however,
larger than the exports and there is a
slight increase CT stock. At the Ex
change this week there was a large
attendance daily. Considerable sales
were transacted on the floor, and
these as reviewed with the condition
of the market at different periods of
the week were as follows: Friday, the
first day we resume, the market opened
firm for strained at s. 80 but the offer
ings were light and the sales were con-
sequently small, being only 400 bbls.

WHY are the carpet baggers so ju-
bilant over the tyrannical orders from
Washington? Simply because the
scheme against the whites of the
South, which the vile emisaries from
the North have so persistently and ly-
ingly worked for, seem to have sue
ceeded. The outbreaks in several
southern States, were planned by
northern Radical leaders and their
execution confded to carpet-baggers
aud scallawags who would burn negro
churches and kill a few negroes to
make out a case for the Intervention
of tyranny in the domestic affairs of
sovereign States. The pretext is pro-
lection of the negro, but the real OBJ
ject is to duplicate each negro vote in
the interest of the Radical party. II
protection of the negro were the
true object, Grant displayed more than
his accustomed stupidity when he
singled out for special protection, the
three States in which his white tools
and colored pets are absolute masters
of the situation.

THE following biographical sketch
OF our honored townsman, Col. John
+. House, is from the pen of Lew"
the GAINESVILLE correspondent of the
Courier ournal:
Col. House was born in Williamson
county, Tennessee, January 9, 1927.
He was educated at Pennsylvania Uni
versity, Lexington, KY, and graduated
at the Lebanon (Tennessee) Law
School in 1850. Soon after receiving
his diploma he removed to GAINESVILLE,
Tennessee, where he has resided and
practiced law ever since. In 1853 he
was elected to represent Montgomery
county in the lower branch of the State
Legislature, when he made his mark
as most earnest and effective men,
Der. In 1860 he was the Bell and
Everett elector for this district. In1061,
when the late war was brewing, State
convention was called to take into con-
sideration the duty of the State of
Tennessee in the emergency then ex-
listing. In the election held, the vote
for convention or no convention was
before the people. Col. House was
elected as delegate to the convention
from the counties of Davidson, Rob
ertson, Montgomery and Cheatham,
but, as the convention was voted down,
it never assembled. Col. House was
in politics a Wing, and was for the
Union as long as there was the
least shadow of hope for the settle
ment of the difficulties between the
North and South by the pen bat when
Lincoln issued his proclamation, which
blasted the last hope of reconcile ton,
Col. House with thousands Of his
party, sided with the South. He was
elected to the Provisional Congress of
the Confederate States in August, 1861,
defeating Hon. Jas. NJ Quarles, of
Nashville. He was not candidate
for the position after the permanent
Congress was organized, but entered
the army of the Confederate States,
where he remained until the close
of the war and then returned to
GAINESVILLE and resumed the practice
of his profession. But the people
were determined that servant who
had proved himself so faithful should
not be permitted to enjoy life of ease,
and the election held In 1869 he was
elected as delegate from the counties
of Davidson, Robertson and Mont
gomery to the State convention of 1870,
which formed the present constitution
of the State. Here he showed that
ability which marked him as one of
the best, well-read constitution lawyers
in the State. He was appointed on
the Judiciary Committee, was also
member OF the select committee in
relation to Impeachment, and the case
of Judge Thos. n. Frazier, who was so
villainously ousted from his position by
the Brownlow clan. His finger marks
can be distinctly seen throughout our
present constitution, many of the best
portions of which are the work of his
clear, mastery mind He is the most
graceful and finished orator, a logician,
a well-read and accomplished scholar,
a high-minded and upright politician,
courteous and affable Christian gen.
tleman, distinguished civilian, and
an honest man. No member of the
next Congress will attract more par
ticular attention, or do more toward
rectifying the evils heaped upon this
country by the INSTRUMENTATION of
the Radical party.

GREENEyILLE, MISS.
The Entire Town Destroyed by Fire
Loss $25O,0OO.

MEMPHIS, September 4.-From pas
sengers who arrived from Greeneville,
Mississippi, late last night, the follow
ing particulars concerning the destruc-
tive fire in that place early Wednesday
morning, are obtained:
The fire, which is supposed to be the
work of an incendiaIy, originated in
the grocery store of Morgan K Platt,
then crossed Mulberry, going east and
west, destroying the entire portion of
the town from Mulberry Street to the
river, embracing nearly all the bust
ness houses of the place. In all, sew
en+y-three houses, valued at over a
million of dollars, with about a hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars insur-
ance, on which the Planters of Missis-
sippi, and Planters of Memphis, had
lare amount. There will be eonsid-
cradle suffering, as nearly all the pro-
visions in the town were destroyed.
The house in which the fire originated
had been previously set on FIRE four
different times. A man named Major
Thompson, has been arrested on sus-
picion of being concerned in the in
cendiary work.

The Whole Story In Brief.

Repulsed by the President, neglect
ed by Congress. and trampled upon by
the arpet-baggers with the black
leagues at their back, the whites have
patiently borne the humiliations, rob-
berry, and iniquities to which they have
been subjected under partisan recon-
structlon. They have fairly tried by
every honorable means to divide the
blacks, when they could not win them
over by reason. Not content with all
these wrongs, the Republicans in Con-
gress press still sterner penalties on
the South, while pretending to preach
amnesty for all past offences. They
now insist upon social equality between
the races, and make the Civil Rights
bill test of this loyalty, having in
view no higher purpose than to consoli-
date anew the black vote.
The effect of this policy has been to
alarm the true white Republicans all
over the South, not only for the safety
of their common schools, but for that
of their families under the bad teach
ings of desperate scamps, who are
nothing but social incendiaries That
fear, taken in connection with the vast
number of Outrages perpetrated upon
helpless women and female children
by black fiends has brought the whites
together by natural law and without
any regard to politics.
In some places they have formed
white leagues, as an offset to the black
leagues, and therein have committed
great blunder, because this bad ex-
ample was to be avoided. They seem
determined by an efficient union to
carry the elections, just as was done in
North Carolina, without sign of vio-
lence, coercion, or intimidation. The
carpet-baggers even in Louisiana begin
to decipher the handwriting on the
wall, and kellogg cries out for troops
to save him, although he has the whole
militia and machinery Of the Govern
mentin his hands, while his adyersaries
have nothing but their voices, votes,
and moral power of public opinion,
which make these rogues tremble.
Reckless men on both sides, black
and white, may provoke collisions and
bloodshed. But war of races is abb
surd, although the leaders who organ
lied these black leagues, and their
imitators who are getting up white
leagues, have done their utmost to pre-
cipitate serious conflict. Peace and
happiness are inconsistent with the
rule of plundering carpet baggers.
Their trade is dissension, and hence
they incite such outrages as have re-
Gently been witnessed, in order to pro-
woke vengeance, and thus furnish a
pretence for calling on the President
for the military, by means of which
only their power can be prolonged.
That is the whole story in brief-Nea0
York Sun.

BRIGHAM YOUNG says his marriage
with Ann Eliza was not legal, but
purely celestial and conferred no earth
ly rights and privileges. 1t is singular
that biggamous Brigham and the unc-
tuous Beecher should approximate SO
nearly in theory, when defining their
relationship one with Ann Eliza, the
other with the sanity Elizabeth. By
the way, since Beecher is about to per-
ambulate the country as a lecturer,
Brigham ought to employ him as a
drummer and missionary to make con-
verts to his theory of celestial MARI
ages.

BANCRoFT's last volume of the his
tory of the United States, the New
York Post says, contains an over
whelming arraignment of George Ill
and his Ministry, and revelations of
the barbarous cruelty of British officers.
Now, if we substitute New, for old
England, A. Lincoln or U. S. Grant
for George Ill, and the yankee, for
British oficers--the South representing
the Colonies-Bancroft gives an exact
and forcible illustration of how history
repeats itself. IF he had extended the
parallel so far as to compare British
rule over Ireland with yankee domina-
ton over the South, the illustration
would have been complete and the
truth of history indicated to the full
est extent.

The position taken by the Radicals,
thatopposition to the civil rights bill, is
the exciting cause Of the race disturb
ances in the South, is false however
plausible it may be. In one sense it
is the cause. the expectations, vague
and indefinite, to which the proposed
law has given rise, have had the effect
to make the negroes arrogant, exact
ing and aggressive, and in this effect
lies the sole cause of the exaggerated
upheavings about which northern Rad
icalism is making so much ado. The
color line has existed, so far as the
negroes are concerned, ever since the
Inauguration of that damnable politi-
cal heresy which made citizens of semi
barians and invested with the highest
privileges of enlightened freemen,
hordes of stupid slaves. Ever since
that accursed day the Radicals, fearing
the influence of the former masters
upon the emancipated slaves, have
omitted no means, however base, to
erect barrier of vindictive hate be-
tween the two races in the South, and
to make the color line as inefaceable
as the sectional bitterness so sedulous-
ly cultivated in the interest of yankee
greed and corrupt ambition. Pamper-
ed by the simulated devotion ofnorth-
ern fanatics and the exclusive legisla-
ton, in their behalf, of the most cor
rupt government on earth, the negroes
have ceased to be content with all the
rights conferred by law upon the whites,
now insist upon their right to invade
the sanctuary of our homes, upon the
presumption that we have no social
privileges which they are bound to re-
spect.
The negro is not to blame for all
this. His ignorance makes him the
plant tool of the fawning hypocrites
who cover their hellish designs under
the garb of friendship. They are the
miscreants who have drawn the color
line, and then eDdeavor to give deeper
shade to their own infamy by the effort
to fasten the guilt upon the southern
whites, who have exhausted all the re-
sources of argument and persuasion to
blend the races in unity of interest
and mutual sympathy. These efforts
have failed because the success of Rad
icalism is incompatible with the mate
rial interests of the colored race. As
the negroes were set free through ha-
tired of the South, so are they to be vic
timized, for all time to come, to crafty
Radical greed for plumber and power.
To secure their votes for the dominant
power, they must be separated from
the southern whites by an impossible
barrier of hate and color, hence civil
rights and social equality. This is the
truth in a nut shell and whilst we
would avoid, by all fair means, armed
conflicts, yetthe issue is not with us, and
we ought to stand ready for any emer-
gency prepared for US through the con-
trolling agency of the Radical emisa-
ries who are doing, in our midst, the
work of their masters in Washington.

The Iron Wagon.

EDITORS CHRONICLE II notice |
with great interest that the project of
having huge shop in our midst for
manufacturing the Iron Wagon" is
still under discussion, and that there
is fair prospect of success. This
looks more ike business" to me than
anything | have seen our people take
an interest in towards the development
and building up of our section of
country.
Factories are what we want. The
railroad may carry off as much of our
money as it brings here, but not SO
with factories. They keep our money
at home and bring it from a distance
too. We have heard of the great ad-
vantage of keeping our money athome.
This is good thing, but it is much
better thing to bring it to our home.
The shrewd yankee has seen this and
acted upon it, and / need not tell any
sensible man what the result has been
to the north. The north has taken
pains to protect and help their fac
tories. They have worked for them at
home and they have worked for them
in Congress, and have spent their
money, time and brains freely to have
them.
We have proposition from a live,
energetic, skilled machinist to COM
mence factory here, which will, when
under good Roadway, bring and keep
among us about 100000 yearly-will
employ about one hundred workmen-
who with their families will both sell
and live with US. He does not ask us
to give him money, but he asks the
people of this section to lend him part
Of the money to commence with. He
offers to give good Understanding
notes for all the money he gets, and
some of the best business men of
GAINESVILLE are to see that the security
is good before the money is paid over,
and to be the Trustees of all the money
subscribed. 1t surely cannot be hard
to raise $50, 900 in the GAINESVILLE To-
bacco District for such good purpose
as this, and if every man will help lit
tie there will be no trouble at all. Let
Us put our shoulders to the iron wheel
and have the iron wagon factory right
here among us. Farmers, business
people of all classes, are equally in
terested, and will all get the benefits.
The merits of the wagon l will leave
for further discussion-but of the ad-
vantage of having the factory here 1
do not suppose any man will doubt.
Respectfully,
E. B. Ross.

As the negroes are the only citizens
of the South who are cared for by
the general government, the whites
have no option but to take care of
themselves, or go under. To avert
such catastrophe to themselves and
to civilization, the whites must be a
unit in resisting, by all legal and moral
means the damnable Radical plot, to
negroise the South.

Hon. John E. House.

The Democratic Convention of the
Nashville, Tennessee, District, assem-
bled at GAINESVILLE Wednesday last,
there being two hundred delegates in
attendance. Hon. John f. House, of
GAINESVILLE, was nominated for Con-
gress by reclamation. Mr.. House is
one of the most cultivated men in Ten
nessee, having no superior in the State
as an orator; and he will make, no
doubt, splendid mark in the next Con-
gress of the United States. We re-
joice that Tennessee is placing such
men forward as her Representatives in
Congress-Bo10tiag Green Democrat.
