denomiDated the lands OF Egypt-for
corn. Fully fifty thousand bales OF cot
ton will be raised 10 the above named
counties this year, part Of which will be
hauled from sixty ID seventy-five miles
over mountains, to Springfield, Mis-
souri,, and thence to st. Louis; and a
large portion will be sent to New Orleans
direct by boat, when the river Iises so as
to permit them to ascend the river. But
the cotton is not half the value that the
trade of this country would be to Mem
phis were our people disposed to take
any steps to secure go valuable trade.
There is no such country for all kinds OF
stock. The mountains afford an mex
haustable supply of grass; fat two-year
old cattle sell at from six to eight dollars
per head; hogs at four cents on foot;
butter, ten cents per pound: eggs, eight
to ten cents per dozen; chickens, two
dollars per dozen; wheat and corn, fifty
cents to one dollar yer bushel. This, in
short, is the beef, hog, chicken, bread
and butter country Memphis can secure
with a small outlay of mOney-that
she is seeking to secure, with the Kan
sas City road, which is to be
built at great cost. OF course we
will some day have the Kansas City
roadj but why walt Tor thatl Wneni Dy
a little exertion, we can secure trade
fully as valuable as that Of the Missis-
sippi river below Memphis? l see that
congress has appropriated fifty thousand
dollars for the improvement Of upper
White river. II this be properly used
in constructing a few wing dams, so as
to eonfine the water to narrow channels,
that now spreads out over wide flat shoal
places, fully two feet can be secured at
all stages up to Forsythe; and then,
with the proper kind OF boat, the river
can be navigsted all seasons of the year
and stages of the water; and with this
boat Memphis can secure trade more
valuable than any one trade she now
has. There are other marvellous stories,
each true as holy writ, which l might
tell of this magnificent country. But
I'Il wait till see you face to face.

From an Occasional Correspondent
NASHVILLE, June Is No rain yet,
though appearances indicate there may
be some this evening. The farmers have
had a fine season for their wheat. The
danger row is, they will let it remain in
the fields too long, and be injured by
rain. The sooner IL is thrashed the bet
ter, after Il gets dry. The weather at
Nashville il very good no prospect OF
cholera o. any other epidemic. i'm
movements TO a considerable extent viii
lie made here this year. Many PERSONS
are going 70 Bon Aqua, Hurricane and
BeeTsheba springs. The Sangstar springs,
twenty-four miles from this place, on
the North western road, are said to have
fine waters and good hunting and fish
inc accom- n1OdatioBs. Many Of the pas
se1gers from Memphis to Chattanooga,
and farther esst, now come over the
Louisville road to Mckenzie, and then
over the Northwestern and Chattanooga
road to Chattanooga. The fare is the
same as over the Memphis and Charles
ton road, and the time not much longer.
I They can, by taking this route, stop at

p~ FRoE BERKEIEr.-Our cores
pondent ''Templar,' writing from
Glengary, Berkeley county, dIaer GATE
of March 6, says:- $3.50 T
Our friend Joseph Hays has purchas-
ed a set OF blacksnith's tools, (of course
be needed them,) and has opened a
smithy at his residence, about one fourth
of mile south of Glengary, and he de-
serves to be patronized by the commu-
nifty. being worthy industrious man.
! think that this shop will be great
convenience to the farmers in this vicin-
ity, as there is not another regular
blacksmith shop within four or FIVE
miles, aud farmers may save much val
liable time, by-patronizing Mr. Hays
Office.
Messrs George and Thomas Barney,
and James Price, have been employed
for some time in cutting railroad ties
upon the land of Nathan w. Gain, at
the foot Of North Mountain, and few
days ago they came near being burned
out, having built up fire while at din
ner, the wind scattered the fire after
they had gone to work, their coats "
ing near the fire were igaited, and Mr.
George Barneys coat vest, pair OF
gloves, aud memorandum book were
burned, before the danger from the fire
was apprehended by the men who were
working near by.
Mr.. John Brannon has gone into the
merchantie business, at his place about
three miles south OF this place, and just
beyond the Virginia Line. l think that
it is very good opening for business.
A singular case of poisoning has come
under my notice recently. The facts
ere these In August last Rev. Geo.
Everhart, a local minister in the NJ. l..
Church, and resident of this Valley,
was plowing in his field and struck his
ankle against one of the green burrs OF
the jamestown weed, or as it is COM
monty called "Jimson wood. The blow
gave some pain for an hour or two, and
then was forgotten, but next day ii be-
came inhamed and the limb began to
swell, and it has been more or less trou-
blesome ever since, at times seriously
interfering with Mr.. E.s locomotion.
During the present week Mr.. 4. has
been confined to the house, scarcely
able to move without assistance. He is
now slightly improving, and we hope
to see him out again soon. Altogether
it is remarkable case, and should serve
as caution to those who may nave to
come in contact with the green burrs of
the weed in question. l don't thinktae
drY burrs are dangerous.

A STRANGE FREAK.-Me Hoiiey

A STRANGE FREAK.-Ne FoHey Of
the Shadov Of Deaih.-A special from
Augusta, GA, to the Herald says;
A few days since the Herald contain
ed telegraphed report of a terrible
shooting affIay, which occurred in a
drinking saloon in the city of Macon,
between George T.. Abel and John J..
Cherry. 1t will be remembered that
Abel, without the slightest proyoca-
tiou, knocked Cherry down, shot him
through the bowels, shot al, but missed
DR.. G. w. johnson, and then shot bim-
self through the breast. Both Cherry
and his murderer, after lingering along
awhile, died. No one was able 70 give
any motive for the murder, and it was
generally supposed that it was the out
burst of diseased mind. 1t has since
been discovered that poverty and a
want of work had unsettled his brain,
and he determined to commit suicide.
One day, however, happening TO get
hold OF an old copy Of the Pilgrims
Progress, he was filed with horror by
Bunyans description of the Valley OF
the Shadow of Death, and declared that
be could not pass through it alone. TO
his family he stated that be intended TO
kill himself, and that he should not 60
alone. Cherry and johnson were both
bis is-friends, and it is thought he only
killed Cherry III order that he might
have bis company on his sfearful journey
to the other world

PIMPLES, ERUPTIONS, ROUGH
SKIN.

The system being put under the in
fuence of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery for few weeks, the skin
becomes smooth, clear, soft and velvety,
and being illuminated with the glow of
perfect health from within, true beauty
stands forth in all its glory. Nothing
ever presented to the public as a beau
tifier of the complexion ever gave such
satisfaction for this purpose as this Dis
covery. The effects of all medicines
which operate upon the system through
the medium of the blood are necessarily
somewhat slow, no matter how good
the remedy employed. While one TO
three bottles clears the skin from pim-
pies, blotches, eruptions, yellow spots,
comedones, or "grubs," dozen may
possibly be required to cure some cases
where the system is rotten with scrofu-
lous or virulent blood poisons. The
cure Of all these diseases, however, from
the common pimple to the worst scrof-
ula is. with the use Of this most potent
agent, only matter of time. Sold by
all druggists.
