A West Tennessee Tax Collector
Robbed.

On Sunday night last three masked
men perpetrated daring robbery up
on MIR. j. J. Fink, Tax Collector of
McNairy county. Mr.. Fink lives
about four miles Southeast of Purdy,
on the Hamburg road His house is
of the log cabin kind, having thin and
unsubstantial doors. The robbers en-
tered the house without difficulty,
knocking or pushing open the door
with fence rail. They were at once
in Mr.. Fink's sleeping apartment, and
presented three pistols at his head,
demanded his money or his life. Mr..
Fink, with GOODNESS, replied that he
had no money on hand, either in the
house or about his person, but his
wife being alarmed for her husband s
safety, pointed to his coat suspended
on the wall, and told them his money
was in his pocket-book in the coat.
The robbers seized it at once, and in
opening the book found about $3.50 in
money and two or three hundred dol
lars in county warrants-all of which
they gobbled and carried off with them.
Mr.. Fink had about three or four
hundred dollars besides what was Ia
ken in the house, but fortunately the
robbers failed to discover it, and it
was saved. Mr.. Fink is cripple and
quite a poor man, and the loss will fall
heavily upon him. It is believed by
parties conversant with the facts that
the masked men belonged to Mr..
Fink's neighborhood, or at least were
citizens of the county and familiar
with Fink's habits and surroundings.
Mrs. Fink is confident that she rec0g-
nized one of the robbers, and should
this be so, their early arrest is only a
matter of time.-JacksOn Wing and
Tribune.

General Pillows Case.

General Pillows letter to New
York paper, was we'll calculated to ex-
cite sympathy and commisseration.
The words fall as if from one in great
agony of spirit. How his heart must
have been wrung 10 give forth such an
expression. 1t sounded like a wall
from one who had given up all as lost
His case is indeed touching. The fates
seem to mock him in his old age, the
very time when he might reasonably
have expected to enjoy competency and
domestic tranquility. Before the war
Gen. Pillow was wealthy man, and
had acquired nearly all by his indom-
liable energy. The Federal army,
commanded by Gen. Curtis, seized all
his personal property and burnt off
his four large plantations, because he
was regarded as public enemy and a
belligerent. Among other property
taken was 225 mules, and the govern
ment refuses to pay for them to this
day. He sacrificed his all for the
common cause of the Southern people.
Since the war he has gathered the frag
ments of his fortune about him and by
great exertion and prudential manage
ment has made start again. Few
young men in the South have done as
much continuous hard work as General
Pillow in the last ten years. In the
great suit of Riddle, Coleman & Co. Of
Pittsburgh, in this city, the Federal
judiciary deny him the rights of a
belligerent, and hold him personally
responsible for his official acts as an
officer during the war. To escape a
judgment of perhaps one hundred
thousand dollars he has been forced
into bankruptcy, and in a short time
the assignee will sell him out of house
and home. 1t is out of the power of
the Legislature to relieve him, and if
any relief is to be had it must come
voluntarily from the people, Memphis

Tennessee Iron Interest

Supt. Killebrew, of the Bureau OF
Agriculture, Statistics and Mines, has
received letter from Mr.. Samuelson,
M. r., the representative of a capital
of %, 600, 900 invested in iron manufac-
ture in England, signifying his inten-
ton to establish branch Of his house
IN Tennessee.
A letter has also been received by
Supt. Kil.ebrew from a Pittsburg cap
italist, who proposes to purchase min
eral lands in Tennessee. Now that
the iron interests are depressed, these
lands are far cheaper than they will
ever be. The superintendent thinks
that should purchasers wait until a
revival they will have to pay consid-

THE Radical puritan element of the
North could hardly have anticipated,
when they sent an army South to muir
der, rob and burn, that the remnant of
that army would return home to prac-
tice the lessons they had SO well learn
ed, until the government is disgraced,
the people robbed and the country we'll
nigh ruined. 1t is a we'll defined case
of retributive justice, carrying with it

shake the social fabric and unsettle the
wisest principles, precedents and usa

ing money and prayers-from a safe
distance, in the rear of the march.
