VIZ were blessed with n heavy rain on
the 9Th and eth inst, which was very much
needed to impart new life to vegetation.
US. MARsnAIs, Capt Adair and "some
great unSnown"-though msrshal-visit-
ed our county few days ago, and took two
Of our citizens to Louisville. II is useless
to say for what, be Il ever known, when we
tell you Of visits made by the Deputy Mar
shall, the object il to arrest some person who
is charged with handling Tie stuff" Illicit
ly. The good people here are getting tired
Of this Federal Court business. They are
striving to earn support by the sweat Of
the BROW having buried the past, they
now put forth every effort to live n life I'M
molested by marshals. Many Of our citi-
rens have been forced TO go to Louisville,
against whom nothing could be PROVEN.
Were II not for the money-and quite a
small thing at that-they find in 1t, our
government could go, so FAR as such mar
shals arc concerned. They care not for
moraliEing the country, il is the almighty
dollar for which they labor.
THE Good 'remrlars OF this neighhorhood
gave an excellent supper on ths 9Th inst,
notwithstanding the inclement evening,
quite large attendance present.
We had the pleasure, recently, Of visit
ing Pulaski county. While gone we gath
cred the following: Ian home on 3lst ult.,
ar lived at Buncombe, Pulaski county, at 2
u. M, same day; found the above to be
quite an ancient village A dry goods
house, and Doctors Office constitute the
business houses Of the village these were
both closed. We noticed several s,slwart
looking young men there, who, nc doubt,
could do well out west, at their business.
In fact those on the "stool Of do nothing"
had large majority at Buncombe. Leav-
ing this home Of "loungers,' we reached
Science Hill at 8 p. m, remained over night
with Rev. Mr.. Goodwin, whom we found to
be quite a clever and accommodating gen.
tleman. Leaving Rev. q. we went next to
the capitol of the county, Somerset, which
place we must say, is a very quiet town
considering two, II not more, bar-rooms
there in full blast While there we called
at the REPORTER Office, formed the acquain-
lance Of the proprietors whom we found 10
be pleasant gentlemen we purchased a
copy Of the paper which, after perusal, we
pronounced quite newsy sheet. Point
Isabel claims our attention next. This is
situated on Cum berland river, Immediately
on the line Of the c. $. L. Il. Sensibly and
truly did your reporter, at Somerset, re-
mark shon time since, when he said il had
sunken into its former monotony. There
is nothing there now to attract the attention
Of travellers except a tunnel through the
river bluff and bridge across the Cumber-
land. These are in close proximity, some
thing rather unusual. The bridge builders
seem to he progressing slowly with the
work. Next we visited Tatevile, which i.
about two miles south Of the place las,
mentioned. Here we found business pretty
brisk for a small village. Two dry goods
stores, post Office, blacksmith shop, and one
Of those specimens Of rural arehitectur,
known a. country school house are the
principal bull ings. Also a cemetery that
seems to be properly cared for, demons;ra-
ting that they respect their city Of the dead
