A BIT OF SHOOTING.
Some Ferrymen Who Have Gone
10 Join Char0O.
From the Memphis Avalanche, 1sth.)

From the Memphis Avalanche, 18th.)
For years the travel from West and
Middle Tennessee and South Kentucky
to Missouri and Northern Arkansas has
been via Nails Ferry, which crosses the
Mississippi River from Darnelps landing
to Point Pleasant on the opposite Mis-.
souri, shore. This is the only available
crossing point between Memphis and
Cairo, andin consequence is largely pat
ronized Old Squire Robert Nall had
the ferry for long term of years, but OF
late has turned it over to his son.
RIVAL FERRYMEN
Not long ago Gen. H. NJ Darnell,
from whom the landing takes its name,
and who is large planter, thought the
ferry business good investment, and
accordingly started one Of his own in
opposition to Nails. The General EN-.
ployed two brothers named Coe and q
young fellow named Cole to run his fer
ry for him. Both ferries have run along
smoothly, the Nall ferry, perhaps, doing
the most business.
Last Saturday afternoon large party
of movers from this State came to the
ferry for transportation. Mr.. Nall sue
ceeded in engaging passage, when one Of
the Coo brothers came over to Nall s
boat and offered additional inducements
for the movers to take his boat. This
caused quarrel, in the course Of which
Nall and Coe indulged in several harsh
epithets. No blows were passed.. how.
ever. .s...
INAUGURATING A KILLING.
Gen. Darnell lives within short dis
tance of the ferry, ,anG, hearing the wrang
ling came down to the boat. When be
learned what was the matter, he turned
70 Coe and said: "Whv don't you xii
the d-n son of b--h?" This led to
an alteration between Nall and the Gen
eral, which resulted in tie former draw
ing pistol and shooting the General, the
ball striking in the left breast, near tht
heart, and ranging downward. Wher
the General fell, the man Cole, who hai
come up by that time, drew his pisto
and firing brought young Nall to th'
ground. While on the ground, Nal
raised his revolver and taking a COO
aim, dropped Cole dead in his tracks.
Then Coe, the man with whom h
had first had dispute. pulled his pis
tol, and, shooting Nall where he lay
killed him. This ended the tragedy
Mr.. Nail and Cole killed and Genera
Darnell mortally wounded, and in al
probability dead ere this.

about sixty-fi years Of age, man o

if il had not been for the effort the
grangers have been making for the last
year. The manufacturers of farming

to break the grangers' hold in this part
Of the state. They tried il in Iowa
and Illinois and failed. but they know
this part of the state cannot furnish
the capital to compete with them care
fully; therefore they are trying the
plan in Wichita Of getting in man
and selling him plow fifty cents less
than they call the granger price, know

them, and perhaps he will advertise it
in the EAGLE, thinkinghe would trade
there, and then would not grangers 90

HONOR TO THE PLOUGH.

Though clouds o'crcast our native sky.
And seem 10 dim the sun,
We viii not down IN ianguor liz,
Or deem the day is done.
The rural arts we loved before,
No less well cherish now:
And crown s4le banquet as of yore,
With honor 10 the plough.
In these fair field. whose peaceful spoil
To faith and hope are given.
Veil seek the prize with honest toll,
And leave the rest to heaven.
Wen grid ,is TO our work like men
Who own holy vow:
And If in JOY we meet again,
Give honor 10 the plough.
Let art arrayed in magic power.
With labor hand IN hand.
Go forth. and now in perIrs hour
Sustain Il sinking land.
Let never sloth unnerye the arm,
Or fear the spirit coz;
These words alone should work charm
All honor TO the plough.
The heath redress, the meadow drain,
The latent swamp explore,
And DER the long-eNpecting plain,
Difiuse the quiekcuing store.
Then fearless urge the furrow deep
Up 10 the mountains brow;
And when the rich results YOU reap,
Give honor 10 the plough.
SO siill shall health by pastures green
And nodding haryesis roam.
And still behind her rustic screen
Shall virtue find \ home:
And while their bower the muses. build
Beneath the neighboring bough,
shall many grateful verse be filled
With honor 10 the plough.

CHATTANOOGA'S TRIUMPH.
Her Locomotive Builders Distaneing
all Eastern COmpetifOrs-

Does manufacturing enterprise pay IN
Tennessee? The following, from the Louis
rifle ColHieT-JOHRdl of yesterday, would
appear to furnish a satisfactory answer to
the question:
AT o'clock yesterday afternoon a party
of ladies and gentlemen boarded an eXcuT
sion train, near the intersection of Fulton
and Clay streets, for a brief jaunt over
part Of the new NarTOw-gauge Louisville,
HarrOd's Creek and WeSport railway. The
party were taken up the read TO distance
of about seven miles from the starting
point, making the round trip in less than
an hour, most of which time was consumed
at stations
"The main object in view was to have a
public test of the efficiency Of locomotive
which President Callahan had recently pur-
chased from MessTs. Webster * Marks,
proprietOrs of the machine works at Chat
tanOOga, Tenn.
"The engine is very prettily modelled,
perfectly finished, and powerfully built.
She has been christened the Glenview. She
is capable of being run at high rate Of
speed, and is as easy TO handle as a velOci-
pede. With a train of seven cars, all full
of passengers, yesterday, she swept along
as freely as an arrow AMI as gracefully as
gazelle.
sThe engine was controlled by VIM.
Webster, Esq, of Chattanooga, Tenn,
whose father is the senior member of the
firm that built it. Mr.. Webster, same to
this city with the engine, and has cOntroll-
ed the whole matter of her transportation
from the shops in Chattanooga to the track
over which she is now TO run. he is a
skillful machinist, and avoids all ordinary
mechanical difficulties by anticipating
them, and thereby rendering serious sur
priSeS impossible.
JAS. Callahan, after visiting the large
locomotive works at Pittsburge, Philadel-
phia, Conceivable, and other places, de-
cided to give the Chattanooga works an
order for a trial engine. The one that has
been furnished was purchased at price,
about fifteen hundred dollars, below the
amount asked for inferior engines in the
other markets. Her boilers are constructed
Of the best Tennessee iron made by Hill
man & Co., Of Tennessee, who are cele-
brated for the superiority of their boiler
iron all over the country. The locomotive
makers at other points will have 10 be on
the alert, for Chattanooga is in the field,
and will contest the claims of any other
city in the country TO the highest hOnOrs in

broad or narrow gauge.
sBefore the war there was very little
manufacturing of any kind done in the
South: the indications now are that it viii
not be many years before anything can be
constructed there from a corkscrew up to
the most elaborate machinery that the
necessities Of commerce and industry de-

ROCHEFORT
Intercepted at Niagara by a Re-
porter.
He Abuses Mcmahon for a stuPit
soldier and is Anxious abouf Cuba

He Abuses Mcmahon for q stupid
soldier, and is Anxious about Cuba.
New YORK, May 30.-Rochefort has
been interviewed by a reporter who tele-
graphs from Niagara Falls the following. a
part of what he said:
"When Mcmahon and DeBroglie heard
that had escaped they said it was impos-
sible. The news was, however, true. De
Broglie fell sick and Mcmahon tried to
conceal the fact as long as possible. Poor
Marshal he has a mortal dread Of me. He
thinks WELD some occult power. 1t is
ridiculous that such man should rule
France. He was put forward by the Right
to advance the interests of Henri Cling, but
the Left will never submit to his rule.
They have too many able men, real states
men, to oppose this bungling general.
What could be expected from man who had
spent thirty years in the Bureau Arabe.
Events it appears are marching rapidly in
Europe. Within three months Mcmahon
shall be overthrown. France cannot con-
time to be ruled by that stupid soldier.
Rochefort asked anxiousiy about the
chances of the recognition of Cuban bel
ligerency by European powers, and ex-
pressed the opinion that an International
Revolutionary Junta should be organized
for the purpose of aiding all struggling
nationalities TO achieve their independ-
ence,
