Our people take greedily to the
European war news. Anything
for a change.
A thousand acres Of land near
Tuscumbia, Alabama, were recent
" sold to two Indiana gentlemen
for $4,000.
Mrs. Sarah NJ. Mack, sister OF
the late Hon. Aaron V. Brown and
the last survivor of that immediate
Brown family, died at Franklin on
the 9th inst, in her eightieth year.
The Russians seem to be drawing
a net surely about the Turks, The
armies are slowly and surely ad-
vancing and have already in effect
tur2ed the first line of defense.
The war in Europe proceeds. The
latest theory Of the war is that Rus
STA will remain in force on the Dan
ube not attempting to cross, but
simply holding a Turkish army
there, while the Russian Army of
the Caucasus" overruns Turkey in
Asia and attacks Constantinople
from the Eastern side.
We suspect that the spectators
in wheat have exaggerated the eff
fects of the war and are likely
to get their fingers burned by oper-
ating too boldly. There is more
likely to be a decline in prices than
a further advance, and the opera
tors will try to save themselves by
undertaking the supply in the Amer
can market.
Frank NJ. Paul was the publisher
Of the Chattanooga Rebel during
the war, and every rebel knows
what spicy sheet it was. Well, he
is going to return to his first love
and start another daily in Chatta-
nooga to be called the Dispatch,
and we predict that it will be a sue
cess. The Courier Journal suggests
that the new paper be called
"Paul's Daily Epistle."
According to an article in Black
wood for April, on the reconstruc-
ton of the French army, France is
now able to defend herself against
Germany, but is not yet strong
enough to attack her. The French
army, says the writer, is now l, 300,
900 strong, and can be increased to
nearly 100000. Yet the Alsace-
Lorraine forCresses alone will keep
the French at home for years.
The insurrectionary war that
ragged ten years between large
portion of the Cuban people and
the Spanish army in the Island Of
Cuba is at last ended by the tri
umph Of Spain; and a decree of the
Spanish Crown, dated May 9th, de
clares unreserved pardon to all per-
sons banished from the Island for
political reasons; and embargoes on
the property of living and dead in
surgents are raised.
Colonel John W. Forney, the ed
itor Of the Philadelphia press, makes
the following prophecy: "ln one
year, with ordinary forbearance and
less of the little politics of faction
and more of the larger practices
of patriotism, the American people
will be rich, united and indepen-
dent of all the world" This is a
cheerful picture as to the future of
the American Union, and every pa
triot will labor for itsconsummation.
A late Washington date says gen.
tlemen of all parties arriving here /
from New Orleans speak enthusiast
ically of the good feeling and con
duct Of all the people produced by /
the pacification. Republicans say /
the colored people are treated better
than ever, and that Gov. Nichols /
and his party friends have shown
