OUR rENNEssEE LETTER

DEAR JOuRNAI-A note from the
prolific land Of Middle Tennessee
may prove Of some interest to your
readers. therefore give them a
few items which have been spoken
about here and elsewhere.
Severty~two thousand shad have
been placed in the Cumberland riv
err at Nashville, and it is expected
that they will find their way to tb'
Gulf Of Mexico, and in three years
return to the place of starting This
is one of the strange laws of nature
which we, by reason of the need of
better term, call instinct. 1t is,
however, a very profound question,
requiring all the powers of mind of
the philosopher, the naturalist and
the logician to solve, and even then
it is left almost unsolved 1t may
be donated if even the fish them
selves could fully explain their &C
tions even were they endowed with
human knowledge and language
Can man always tell the moving
springs of his own thoughts
Shad and herring ''planting' IS
having more aud more attentlon Civ
en- to it in these United States every
year, aud let us hope the time may
soon come when all the available
creeks, ponds, rivers, lakes and ar
ti6cial reservoirs of water all over
the nation, and especially in our own
Cobb county, Ga., will be filled with
some suitable families of the tinny
tribes, thus giving US new source
of wealth and food, and converting
many of our waste places to good
use.
While at basket meeting at Mar
shall Acadamy few weeks ago,
saw family of Cherokee Indians
the only family in all this region OF
country. They were from lower
East Tennessee, but speaking of 60
ing soon to their own people in the
Indian Territory. 1t fills the mind
aud heart Of thinkidg soul with
many a sad thought, as it muses. and
meditates upon such fact as that OF

In Gainesville, Marshall county,
three weeks ago, | Witnessed ter
ribls sight. Mr.. James Turner,

tie boy behind him on a young mule
and that instant the mule began tn
buck and run, throwing both of
the riders. but the boy escaped un-
hurt. Not 40 with Mr.. Turner; his
/ foot caught in the stirrup and rein,
by which he was dragged over two
/ hundred yards, managing the poor
man in such a horrible manner that
he remained unconscious during the
night aud died the following morn
ing.
The crops are so splendid all over
Tennessee that she may get out Of
her financial troubles, and non>pay-

be so great an injury to her credit

COST OF so1oMoMs TEMPLE.

According to the computalion Vt
ViIlalpandns, the value OF the talents
of gold, silver, aud brass used in the
construction of the temple amounted
to $3+,399.I07, 800. The jewels are
reck oned to have exceeded this sum,
but for the sake of an estimate are
set down for the same amount. The
vessels of gold consecrated to the use
of the temple are reckoned by Jose
plus at one hundred and forty thou
sand talents, which, according TO
Chapel's reduction, are equal TO s.
| 726, $4,000. The vessels of silver
are computed at s., 44G, 100000
The silver vestments at $4,000, 900;
and the other musical instruments at
5000, 600.
To these expenses must be added
those of other materials the timber
and the stone, and of the labor EN-
ployed uuon them, divided thus
there were ten thousand men at l.eb-
anon heNing timber: there were ten
Thousand bearers Of burden; there
were twenty thousand hewers of
stone and three thousand eight
hundred ovcrseers, all of whom were
employed for seven years, and upon
whom, besides their wages and Diet,
solomon bestowed about S33, go,
600 in donations. The daily wa
ges and fo ID are estimated to have
been S4G9,3sG, 600; and the costly
stone and timber, in the rough, are
set down to be worth about one third
that of the gold, silver and brass, or
Sl2,72G 10000. This makes the
grand total of the cost Of this magnih
cent structure, the sum of $S1,2l2,-
1872, 900. This is sufficient to pay
the present estimated Indebtedness
of the whole world four times over

DEAD BODIES.

Az old well near the Medical Col
lege in Atlanta, was found full OF
dead bodies. The bodies it is said
were brought from the North for a
summer class Of medical students,
and failing to organize the class in a
suitable time, the bodies had to be
deposited in the well. The Mayor
had the well filled up with lime and
dirt.
That's right! We get all our
agricultural implements, clothing,
notions, bacon, corn, etc, from our
our Northern and Western friends,
why not our dead bodies too?

A STRANGE CASE The La
Grange Reporter says "a little daugh>
ter of Mr.. Fraser, who lives in
Rough Edge District, in this county,
died last week. She had complain,
ed of pain in one of her legs and the
parents thought it was rheumatism,
as they did not know of her having
received any injury. She grew
worse three or four days, with fever
in her leg, and physician was sum
moned. He, by examination, dis
covered that her leg was broken, and
in a day or two after, she died. The
parents never learned how her leg
was broken"

SENATOR NORWOOD.

SENATOR NoRW0OD's speech de.
livered at Emory College, and pub
lished in that newsy and able jour
nal. the Atlanta Constitution, was
perused by us with good deal of
pleasure. Like all of his speeches it
was grandly beautiful, ably eloquent,
and Intellectually great. He says
the war was waged by the North
through mercenary motives, and as
they loved the Union better than
they did the Constitution, they
fought for the one to the destruction
of the other. lie says the negro
was given the right to vote to retain
power, but as the negro always votes
for men, not measures, the South
will eventually add him to her
own power, then the Radicals will
demand bis Acknowledgement or COLI
onization.

A Foolish THIEF--Perhaps one
of the most bunGling bank robberies
on record, says The Nashville 4mcri
cul, is that detailed in our dispatch
es this morning. The teller of the
Planters National Bank of Louis>
Vile robbed the Institution of one
hundred thousand dollars, ard after
secreting the plumber in the rear of
the house, slammed injured inuo-
cencc by representing he had been
chloroformed and stabbed by masked
robbers. and made to deliver up tie
key Of the safe. The story was al
together 100 thin" for belief, and
very slight persuasion induced the
teller to confess that he himself was
the robber. 1t would be hard to find
a parallel for such foolish and crimi-
nal infatuation. Two days ago the
man occupied an honorable and res
pectable position to day he is the
inmate of feIon's cell, with blasted
hopes, and may be a penitentisry
home as a legacy for~the remainder
Of bis life

VALUABLE GHosTS.--The Bridge

sceances in that goodly town, where
the spirits enter iato performances
far more satisfactory than rapping.
stone throwing, table-tipping and the
like. Says the Farmer:
One of the remarkable feats per-
formed by the spirits is the bringing
upon the table a fresh supply of
tropical flowers. The flowers exhale
beautiful fragrance, are fresh with
dew, and of varieties which cannot
be procured in this vicinity, The
members Of the circle the other even

cigars, dropped upon the table by,
spirit visitors, and the medium him

With a plate of ice cream furnished
by the same mysterious agency.
These are the kind Of manifesto,

by improved culture the bill of fare
might be extended, so as to cover
