The meeting of the Press Association in
Murfrcesboro last week will long be re-
mcmbercd by us as n of the plcasantcst
occasions in our life. The hospitality OF
her citizens and the generous efforts to
make every visitor happy, were patent as
the MONDAY sun. We are sure that every
member of the Association left there with
Il heart full of love for her fair women,
gallant men, aud her elegant treatment OF
the Press. UereitiZcns seemed to vic with
one another in trying to make our two
days sojourn as agreeable as possible. We
can never forget the frank and unstintcd
kindness of Gen. ID. II. G. Spence, Gen. j.
j. Palmer, Maj. j. ID. Richardson, and
Can't. J. w. Childress. We were a guest
ofGen. Spence, and felt rs much at home
at his elegant mansion as if we had known
him always, and yet, we are very slow to
feel at home anywhere if the least scintil-
lation OF unwelcome is manifested. The
receptions at the homes of Gen. Spence.
Gen. Palmer, and Major Richardson, were
as elegant and bOun.iful as the men are
noble and generous. Murfrces5oro is
blessed with good citizens-men who rise
like tall poplars above the underground of
humanity, and the ones we have mention
cd are types of a host that live there. They
are sun-crOwned men--men made in the
image of God in all respects, and had such
men lived before the flood, God, in his JUS
tice, could not have permitted a flood.
What we say will wake an echo in the
heart Ofcvery member of the Press Asso-
ton. To us our visit proved u nepenthc.
that brought relief from pain and sor-
row, and produced IN exhileratIon Of spir-
sorely needed by one who has to
"plunge into the crowd.
And follow all that peace disdains to seek
Where revel calls, and laughter vainly
loud,
False to the heart. distorts the hollow
cheek,
TO leave the tagging spirit doubly weak"
We thank our friends at Murfreesboro
deeply. They made us forget for the
nonce that
The race oflife becomesa hopeless flight
To those that walk in darkness

"Mrs. A.C. Graves, of Winchester, Miss
Ncttie Power Houston, of Texas, and Mrs.
John A. GilchriSt, of Dresden, were nomi-
mated to read Il poem at the next meeting
of the Association. Mrs. Graves was Sc

'ln the event that Mrs. Graves should
fail 80 appear, it was unanimously decided
that Mr.. W.J. SLATER, Of the Winchester

This is an error. 1t was unanimously
decided that in case Mrs. Graves could not
attend that ace should select something for
defamation. We certainly could not fill
Mrs. Graves place, and very few others
could. We congratulate our brethren of
the Association upon their unanimous
election of Mrs. g., and predict that her

CAUSE OF FLOODS. =,

The frequent and protracted
droughts that have afflicted the earth
during some years past have been as
cribed to the increasing destruction of
forests, and now the excessive rains
and floods of the present season are
in a measure referred to the came
cause. Forests have a great effect in
equalizing the distribution of rain
and checking the dissolution Of ice
and: snow under the influence of the
summer heat. The existence of tim.
Der on hillsides also tempers the flow
Of surface, water and restraints the &C.
emulation Of torrents. It is q nota.
BILE fact that the violence, Of spning
and summer floods is increasing in
proportion to the denundation of for
ests and woodlands When will men
learn the unwisdom Of disturbing the
equilibrium Of Nature, and take care
not to set desolating forces at work
by a selfish disregard Of aught but
their. immediate personal interests? =
