lost in sectional bitterness, and an early
Presidential election secure the triumph of
the Abolition Party. This will bring
about secession on the part of those States
who are unwilling to compromise the pride
of abstract rights; and then-I shudder at
the thought bloody revolution, accom-
panied by the material ruin of the south.
Slavery, if this comes to pass will be abol-
ished by the decree Of military tribunal,
and the pride of my people fearfully hum
bled before God.
This is an awful picture for me even to
suggest, but as l contemplate it, my soul
sickens within me. Repel it rs | may {;
Danish it from my mind as mere fancy (;
yet IL grows upon me as hideous realty
which may a merciful God spare me the
pain of realizing.
Since the death of Mr. Calhoun there
seems not to be a statesman left in the South
of sufficient power to control the storm,
which his States right theory has provoked
The public men seem to me to be either the
satellites of opinions or mere local lumin-
aries, rejecting the wild and weird light of
passion. No one seems disposed to COM
promise any opinion, prejudice or fancy,
because all are with wild this doctrine o.
rights. We'll, an individual may exercise the
right of self destruction, unless his friend
or the magistrates question this right, and
assure nun JuNl lNtIe are no NNSDlule anu

exercised.

From Mr.. J. J. Wade, the County
Assessor, I learn that the number of
dogs for the county at large are 1,799
at S1,0O and As at $500. a total of s., O24
Yet he thinks there is large number
that were not given in. The poll was
about the same as the dog tax.
The streets in Sevierville have been
considerably improved this summer.
Mr.. Brownlow Reagan and his con-
cubine were sentenced by the Court at
its last term to work on the streets,
with ball and chain to their legs, until
they work out all the fine and cost,
and they have done admirably. The
corporation has done well this sum-
mer.
The Baptists are contemplating
building fine church in Seviervllle
this incoming winter.
The Good TemPlars are doing a big
business in Sevierville; they are bring
ing in some of the widest young men
we nave, and are reforming the young
men wonderfully. We are glad to see,
when we go to town, the young men
holding their heads up, looking like
young men should, instead of lying
around grocery, half dead. We find
them cheerful and jolly.
Mr.. w. G. Murphy has bought about
800 head of hogs at 81 cents. He con-
templates feeding them to bacon.
Some hogs have died of cholera.
Our people contemplate sowing large
crops of wheat.

An interesting meeting has been in
progress for near two weeks, at the
Methodist Church in this place, Many
penitents are at the altar of prayer
every night, and several have pro-
fessed religion.
Messrs. w. Van Huss & Bro. have
Just finished the brick work on q hand

situated on the corner of Main and
Cumberland streets.
The cool weather of several days
past is producing demand for shawls,
overcoats, and such like, and it is the
general opinion that Jack Frost will
make his appearance before a great
while.
Morristown, at last has ready-made
clothing store, Mr.. +. G.. Shannon
having opened up a stock in that line.
This is something we long have need
ed, and your correspondent wishes Mr..
Shannon much success in the enter
prise.
One day last week an enterprising
fellow drove two oxen up to Jake
Hodge, our "butcher man." and sold
them to him at a very low price, but
in few hours afteTward an owner for
the cattle put in an appearance, ~
proved his property, and left Jake
minus the money he paid for the
cattle, and very much interested in the
whereabouts of the man from whom
he purchased.
A considerable number of hogs are
being fed in our county, and l hear
that cholera has made its appearance
among them on several Chuoky River
farms.

This week has witnessed the closing
scenes of great revival season at
Adair's Creek Church. Through the
way and Hausford, quite number
were added to the faith and received
into the Church on last Sabbath. To
day the people of Spring Place and all
the neighbOring Sabbath schools en-
joyed themselves richly by participa-
ting in the exercises of picnic, given
at the above named place. After being
highly entertained by singing from
the several Sunday Schools combined,
and music by the Grassy Valley
String Band, the people were addressed
very appropriately by Rev. Mr.. Brain
and Mr.. Washburn, OF Knoxville, af-
ter which all partook of the banquet,
so abundantly prepared, and were
happy.
Doc. Simpson and Lucy A. Smith
were married last Thursday.
Corn looks well in this valley, and
promises a bountiful yield.
The Irish potato crop will be short
unless it rains soon, though the pros
poets for rain are very flattering to-
day. May it fall Immediately, if not
sooner.
Watermelops are just closing out
their old stock, at reduced cash prices,
while Cider and Co. are just opening
out their fine assortment of highly
favored sweet, juicy and well tasted
