The TWEED CASE came up in the Supreme
Court yesterday, and argument was post
poned till Friday. If Mr.. Tweed's lawyers
were only able to announce that their peril
nacious client would restore to the city its
stolen money the question of liberty might be
differently considered. But the surest way
to liberty is restitution.

damage cone to the Western and Atlantic
Road from the atlanta NelCs of Sunday,
which reached us Uid the Selma, Rome and
Dalton, and South and North Roads:
"The floods up the Western and Atlantic
railroad have not subsidized as was antici-
pated, and in some places the water is
rising at the rate Of ten inches Der hour.
Yesterday the OOslanaula river bridge,
near Resacca, was washed away entirely.
AT this place the water is three feet over
the track, and is rising at the rate Of ten
inches per hour. Serious appTehensiOns
are felt in this neighbOrhood, as the whole
Of the low country is completely sub
merged, and farm fences are all along the
river swept away BY the torrent. None
other Of the Chicamauga river bridges
have been washed away save the three al
ready reported, and this river is falling
slowly. IL has done an incalculable
amount Of damage to the farmers along its
course, and miles Of low lands have been
and are still flooded by it.
'The damage at Tunnel Hill cannot vet
be definitely ascertained, as the road is So
blOekaded up that hands cannot get TO it,
but as was stated yesterday, large land
slides blockaded both ends Of it, and tie
tunnel itself may have been forced in at the
north end, but this is not definitely known.
"Three trains are still hemmed in be-
tween the tunnel and Chicamauga river
and they are likely TO remain there for
some days.
SIT is supposed that two or three miles Of
track, at various places, is under water,
aud the damage done by washes cannot
even be estimated, but it is thought it is
very great and that the loss to the company
will be very heavy. If the water continues
to rise at OOstanaula river there is no
knowing what amount Of damage may be
done.
'Tickets over the road were sold yester-
day to Resacca only, but passengers for there
had to be brought back as that place could
not be reached and Calhoun is now as far
as trains can run.
"The telegraph wires are down and no
communication can be had from farther
north than Calhoun.
"All Of the hands on this end of the road
are at work where they can work, but it
will require force Of FIVE hundred hands
to put the road in order within a week.
The officers say that it will hardly be in or
der so trains can 90 through to Chatta-
nOOga within two weeks at least, and prob
ably three weeks, and until then no posi-
bic idea can be formed of the extent Of the
damage"

GERMAN MILLET.
The History OF fits Introduction and
Cultivation I'm Tennessee.

The History OF fits Introduction and
Cultivation I'm Tennessee.
In 1865 a seed store located on College
street, belonging to q German, whose name
is not now definitely reported TO us, was
attached for debt and the goods passed into
the hands of McROberts * Co, a well
known firm Of that day. In that stock six
sacks Of seed containing in all about twelve
bushels, were found, from which what has
since become so popular and widely known
as German millet had its origin as a pro-
duct in this country.
Mr.. NcRoberts informs us that he sold
over half Of the twelve bushels to farmers
in Bedford county, and the residue in the
vicinity Of Nashville. The seed did not
then excite more than a sort Of idle curl
osity-Only attracting attention on account
OF its unfamiliar appearance and the man
ner in which it was put up. 1t differed
from other miIlet seed in being larger and
Of a decided yellow color. He does not
know where it originally came from, but
thinks from the looks Of the sacks il was
in, and the fact that it had been in the
hands Of a native OF Germany, that it was
an importation from that country. Since
its cultivation on Tennessee soil be thinks
ne Ids DlNoEl hE4 al ~ AAAAN--A Va III
seed in the nature Of an increase Of size
and deepening Of the color, which is now
Of an orange yellow.
II differs from other millet mainly in
yield, both of hay and seed; grows very
rank and luXuriant and produces a head
usually about SIX inches in length and Of
the thickness Of tine thumb, though excep-
tiOnal heads have been seen quite as large
as a medium sized ear Of corn. The heads
are stuffed with seed, so that an acre Of
good soil with fair season viii yield 80 TO
- bushels. 1t yields more fodder than any
other miIlet, and the stalk differs from the
old Tennessee millet in being hollow and
better for feed.
Our merchants say 1t is essentially diiie-
ent from what has been known at the
North as German millet.
Since its introduction here it has spread
over larger territory every year and is now
sOwn in other States north and south Of
Tennessee. Our merchants have been
supplying the Louisville and Cinci Enati
markets with it. The great scarcity and
general demand this year make il very
dear. At the present price (abOut $50 per
bushel) a farmer ought to realize off an
acre Of good land, in one crop, SIS, recl-
oning fifty bushels to the acre. II requires
about half bushel to SOW an acre.

The Sfnmn Law.

It seems 10 be understood by three
fOurths Of the people of this city that the
law in regard to stamping checks and sight
drafts has been repealed. This is a great
mistake. On the contrary, a still more
stringent law has been passed on the sub
jet. Every check and sight draft must
have a two cent stamp put on 1t, and the
stamp must be cancelled by the drawer of
the check. In the absence Of a Canceling
stamp, the initials Of the drawers name,
with the date, will be a good cancellation.
For every failure to comply with this law,
the drawer of the check is liable to a fine
Of $50, and if the bank pay the check it is
liable to the same fine.
We see the following notice posted very
conspicuously in the National Banks Of
this city:
"The stamp law is being rigidly en-
forced by the Government. All checks and
drafts must be stamped, and the stamp can
celed, before we pay them or receive them
on deposit"

Business Correspondence.
On the 22d Of February our business

ton Of the hour, ascertained from his

forwarded checks 20 crediting firms for the
amounts owing, with greetings apDrOpri-
ate TO the anniversary Of WashingtOn's
birthday as an apology fer the rudeness.
The first response is from Sheldon Collins

excuse its publication and be appreciated
by our leaders:

the cause, say we all.
Again, thanking You for the remittance,

As HOT As EVER.


The fight between the two great Eastern
railway lines is being carried on in such a
persistent manner, so far as the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad is concerned, that IL has
become very evident the past few days that
all the Eastern lines viii be embroiled in
the war within a short time. Il has
already been shown TO be the policy Of
President Garrett to cary out his original
assertions, if it cOmpels the Inauguration
of an era Of low rates to dc so. \ large
number Of the local issue Of tickets from
Philadelphia to New York have been pur-
chased, and are now on sale at the Office Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in this
city, and passengers are now provided with
a through passage TO New York for Sl5.25.
A reduction over the Pennsylvania COmpa-
ny's lines is daily expected, and the man
aeement announces that if a reduction is
made, it will be lower than the one already
made BY the Baltimore road. This action
cannot fail to result il extremely low rates
to the East over all the lines.

A MAYNARD MEMBER.
How the Collection b Rskets Of an
EdgefeId Church Have Been Habi-
finally Robbed.

How the Collection b askets Of an
EdgefeId Church Have Been Habi-
tuaIIy Robbed.
For the past two months numerous COM
plants have been made to the Treasurer Of
the Edgefeld Baptist Church by its MEM
bers, that they had not been credited with
money contributed to the church by them.
During this time, sums Of seven and eight
dollars have disappeared on various Occa-
sions and no account could be given Of it..
Last Sunday the officers Of the church de-
termined to keep an eye on the baskets
used in taking up collections. This was
accordingly done, and at the close
Of the morning services, young
man about seventeen years OF age, assistant
librarian Of the Sunday-schOOl, was detect
ed in the act Of stealing the church funds.
When the officers called him to account he
denied the charge and protested his innc-
cence 10 the last, but a number Of envelopes
containing money were found upon his
person. He then confessed his guilt and
acknowledged having stolen money from
the baskets on several previous occasions.
Since beginning his operations he has
taken sixty dollars. He was
taken before Justice Miller and
committed to jail TO await the action
of the congregation IS to whether be shall
he prosecuted. II is said that some two
wears since. be stole a number Of tickets
for a festival at the church, from Wheeler,
Marshall < Bruce, forged the signature
and sold them, appTOpriating the money.
his arrest and incarceration created quite
a sensation on the other side f the river.
Sympathy with the young mans DIS
tressed mother impels rs to comply Win
her request, made on her part by the treas
urer Of the church, that the name be sup
pressed.
