interior points in Ohio and Indiana report they
will close operations next week. with q lighter
business than last year. At interior points in
Iowa, Illinois and Missouri hogs are arriving

McPHERSON'S DEATH.
The Circumstances Under Which He
Was Killed.
An Important Omission in Sherman's
Memoirs Supplied.
To the Union and American:

To the Union and American:
SHELBYvILLE, Tenn, June 21., 1S75.-
An item Coz the future historian concerning
the death Of Mai. Gen. MCPHERSON, near
Atlanta, July p, 1854, has just come to
light.
Sherman, in his Memoirs, is pathetic
concerning the loss of his gallant subOrdi-
nate, yet he could not tell the particulars of
his death. Mcpherson had gone st the
head Of his staff in front of his line Of bat
tie, trusting to his skirmish line
for protection. His skiEmiShers had been
captured. He vas on a crooked road
through dense woods, and, e,e he was
aware of It, he was in close proximity to
the COnfederates. So sudden and uneE-
pected was his appearance upon the scene
that the gallant Captain Richard Beard,
now Of MurfreesbOrO, "a son Of that dis
tinguished theolOgian, Rev. DR.. Richard
Beard, of LebanOn,) whose command was
across this road and who himself was on
its edge, Involuntary brought down his
already drawn sword to Spresent." The
General halted and, lifting his hat to the
Captain, wheeled his horse and started for
the rear, but his steed had not made more
than two leaps before the rider fell ID the
ground on his face and knees, having been
shot through the heart.
The Captain and some Of his command
were very soon captured; but, though be
acted properly in the matter, he did not ex-
plain at that time. He thinks the courtesy
shown BY the General to him was mechan-
zeal, rather than an intentional respect for
him as a rebel. S.

Crops in Tennessee and North Ala

The following from Mr.. John F. Whe-
less, Of this city, appears in the Nelg Or
leans Times CT Sunday:
have TO report a decrease incotton acre
age Of 10 per cent. in Middle Tennessee
aud Z per cent. in North Alabama.
The increase Of small grains is 80 per
cent. for Middle Tennessee and 50 per cent.
for NOr.h Alabama. Corn increased II
per cent. and 9 per cent for the localities
named.
the prospect for each Of these crops is
much better than last season; this is espe-
cially the case with wheat.
The fruit crop is a serious failure, par
ticularly peaches.
The condition Of the stock is very much
worse than ever known. As to cattle and
swine am not so well advised, but can
safely infer it is not an average. No ma
terial change as to quantity.
There is an ample supply of labor, and il
is more efficient than heretofore.
Business is very dull, resulting from 10
cal and general causes, but with good crops
this season we anticipate a reaction and
more prosperous times.
Z Last seasons crops were unprecedented
failures, especially cotton, which averaged
0nly about 50 per cent for Middle Tennes-
see and % per cent for North Alabama.
Therefore, with our present prospect, it is
reasonable to expect a greater yield, not
withstanding the decreased acreage stated
in the answer to the first question.

my duty to inform some one Of the intend
ed raid on Nashville jail next Saturday
night, l write you. 1t is a fixed fact that
several hundred citizens of this co lnty will
visit Nashville tomorrow night for the pur-
pose Of securing the negro Wood
son and bringing him back here
to be hung. Now, 1 think
this thing should not be done at this late
hour, and write TO put the Nashville people
on their guard. The men engaged in this
are some Of cur best citizens and deter
mined men, but if you will take the thing
in advance, and remove the negro to the
PenitentiaTy if necessary, you, and me,
will be saved the disgrace of such a crime,
for the law viii certainly hang the negro,
if permitted TO take its course. 1 would
sign my name 10 this letter, but think it
best not to do so, for the excitement here
is at fever heat. Yours, etc, FRIEND.

How'll worked in Nashville.

The Peoples Protective Union of Mem.
phis, in casting around for means of relief
from oppressive taxation, opened a cor
respOndence with John NJ. Bass, Esq,
formerly Receiver for this city. Mr.. Bass
obtained from City Treasurer Nelson, and
forwarded to the Union, some suggestive
facts and figures bearing upon the city ex-
penses under the Reoeivership, as compared
with those Of the Alden ring. The City
Treasurer says in his note to Mr.. Bass:
"Your management was such as to re
duee the expenses in every department OF
the city government. Very considerable
reductions were made in the street, water
works, wOrk-hOuse, fire, salary and miscel-
iaDeous departments.
"The most marked reduction was made
in the work-house department, which for
merly cost $4,000 per month. Under your
administration that department only cost
$500 per month. In other words, you car
ried on that department for as many hun
bred dollars as thousands formerly ex-
pended.
"In round figures your control Of the af-
fairs Of the city cost $4,000 per annum,
against $4,000 under the preceding ad-
ministration. l mention these figures as
an approximate estimate OF the rate OF
difference.
Every one here knows that the appoint
ment Of a Receiver saved the city from
financial ruin.
"The Reoeivership gave entire satisfac-
tiOn to all our people. When a laboreT
worked or a merchant furnished mate
rial for the corporation under your adj
ministratiOn, he knew he would be paid
in cash as soon as the work was completed
OF the material furnished; whereas, before
your appointment no one knew when or
how he could be paid. He had to take cor
pOratiOn scrip Cor a check on the treasger)
Of uncertain value, and difficult to dispose
of at any price. This made a reduction Of
no incOnsiderable amount.
"Tbe Receivership, you remember, was
discontinued only when the people came
into possession Of their own affairs, and by
general consent

kind as to allow me a small spaee in your

made in said article?
The Rev. ID. i. Lapsley starts out by
saying that the Hsecret" relates back to the
last change in the pOstmastership, and that
all Of the colOred attaches of the pOstofice
were to pay $50 each. This is outrageous
ly false. He also said that each Of the 9TH

far as l can learn, that is also false. Rev.
D. l.. Lapsley further said that

him to pay the fee in small
installments, in order that he might keep
his position, which is still another IN
founded assertion.
