Messrs. Cyrus and W. H. Broad

peach trees, and 1000 apple trees.
These gentlemen came here in 1866,
from Ohio, and are making money.
They are capital farmers. Send us
more like them. In all fruit, they
have about 5000 trees planted.
Nashville Banner: Joseph Veech.
two years and four months old, living
in Jackson county, was accidentally
shot a day or two ago by a compan-
ion. The ball entered the center of
the forehead, and, as it is believed,
passed through the brain, out of the
skull, about an inch back of the right
ear, and dropped down on the floor.
The child is doing well.
A meeting of the citizens of Weak.
ley county is to be held in Dresden on
the 18th Of june in order that the
people may express their views in ref
erence to the proposition of'the bond,
holders for compromise of the State
Indebtedness, and also to give instruc-
tons to their Representatives and
Senator in the matter at the next
meeting of the Legislature.
Capt. Gibson, a large and well
known farmer of Maury county,
speaking of a short horn COW, says:
=" | think Annie will milk not less
than eight gallons of milk daily, from
the test we have made. Who SAYS
that short horns won't give milk ?"
Eight gallons of milk will weigh
about sixty-four or five pounds; and
Annie may be first>rate mixer, and
give not'over six gallons in "a hours.
Behind this food of the tactical fluid,
rich IN cream and delicious cards,
stand 900 acres of clover, of which
the owner may well be happy.

SON. He regards every southern
profession Of attachment to the Union
and constitution as hypocritical, and
intimates that. while new rebellion
may,not beimmediately contemplated,
yet rebellion is the ultimate design
of the southern people, as soon as they
recover from the depletion of the war.
3" BY the voluntary withdrawal of the
army" gays Morton, the south has
been placed upon her good behavior.
Following bloody campaigns for po-
litical power, they have been treated
with magnanimity, and should they
fail to protect all clasSes and races in
the enjoyment Of their rights, the
most conservative Republicans will
see there is no security but to pre-
serve the government in the hands of
the Republican party. As the De-
mocracy have acquired a solid south
by force, the Republicans should ac>
quire a solid north by vigilance and
the eternal justice of their cause.
Northern Republicans are now adj
monished that they can endure no
divisions that will endanger their suc>
cess. Should the north, by unhappy
discords, be divided, and thus fall a
prey to a solid Confederate south, the
rebellion will have been suppressed in
vain, the fruits of the war will be lost,
and our last condition worse than the
first"

IS. Louis Plan for Direct Trade
with Liverpool.

ST. LOUIS, May 28.-A project is
on foot here to open direct grain
trade with Liverpool. The plan is
for the railroads centering here, the
elevator companies, Mississippi Val
: ley Barge Company and the ocean
steamers to pool the risks by combi-
nation and send cargoes of grain, es-
pecially corn, from New Orleans
through the jetties to Liverpool and
other European ports. This plan will
divide the risks of shipments among
the parties most interested in building
up such a trade. 1t meets with their
hearty approval. The prospects are
that it will soon be carried into effect.
An ocean steamship company has all
ready named several grain carrying
steamers which can be put on berth
as fast as cargoes are ready for them,
and it looks as though it will not be
long before the St. Louis. New Or
leans and Liverpool line will be in full
operation.

THE STRIKE.

Yesterday was the most exciting day
since the strike began. All along the
line OF the railroad between Wheeling
and Baltimore, public sympathy with
The strikers had become more general,
intense and demonstrative; the strikers
themselves were greatly augmented IN
numbers at all important points by canal
men and coal miuers coming in and
Joining them; the news from the strikers
On the other great trunk lines Of rail q
road rs well MS ON the connec-
tions OF the Baltimore and Ohio
west of the river, all went to add courage
and desperation to the strikers on this
line. They lost their ususl quiet and
determined temper, became uDduly
elated, and plum ed into the deep crimes
of arson and murder. Our telegraph
columns tell fearful tale
In Baltimore blood has been crimi-
nally shed. many valuable lives have
been murderously taken, the torch of the
inceudiary has been applied TO property,
and demoniac passion has been given
loose rein.
At Keyser proclamation of a most iu-
cendisry character was issued by the
strikers, in which they did not hesitate
to boldly avow their intention TO commit
the greatest crimes. Tracks are to DE
torn up, bridges and property are to be
burned, trains wrecked, and even blood
is not to be spared. We mistake the
good sense and devotion to law OF the
people all along the line of the road, and
even of the better class of the late
employees of the company, if the svowal
of such sentiments and the extreme action
of the rioters yesterday, does not change
much of the sympathetic sentiment which
has heretofore existed for them into a
feeling of reprosch and of horror.

REFERRING TO STATE SCHOOL
TEACHERS.

Ry the action OF the State Board OF
Examiners held at Deer Park on the
18th inst. certain schedule of the rules
(which are published on the local page
were adopted, which embrace a course OF
preparation for the position OF teacher IN
,ur State schools, that appear to be eX-
cellent, providing the programme Is
adhered 10.
1t is this particular point that in-
drcas us TO refer TO the subject.
Complaint has frequently been made
that professional certificates" have been
GRANTED to incompetent teachers, and
thereby, lowering the standard OF worth
snd greatly damaging the efficiency OF
our public school system. II there are
wanted a superior class of men in any
walk of lie more than another, 1t is IN the
capacity of instructor to the youth OF our
commcnwealth, not only intellectually
lent morally. The latter qualification
should be blended fully, and surely
with the former. Whether the Board
has by the adoption of the present rules
compelled the applicant to ootn perfect
and increase his scope OF knowledge, we
are unable to say, but if it has been discov-
cred that such was necessary, the meas
ure was wise one, and the Ex-
aminers displayed wisdom IN SO
doing. Incompetent teachers are
not what the State wants, nor
ought they, if any there are, be permit
tod ia remain on the roll of honor, for
tbey degrade the profession in the the
State b. keeping down the stahdsra OF
professional distinction.
