ABAsE SANDER.

Water Valley Miss. Cor. of the y. J Times.
The condition Of most of the towns
in Mississippi is favorable to the spread
of the fever, If their condition Is like
that of Milan and of Water Valley,
and | am assured they are adj very
much ankle. There is no such thing
as tidinpss anywhere. All sorts Of re-
fuse is thrown into the streets for the
enly scavengers, the roaming hogs, to
clean up. AT Milan l noticed that
the back yards and alleys were uni~
formly filthy, with pools of stagnant,
misunderstanding liquid in them, with
heaps of chicken feathers reeking in
the sun, bones and pieces of meat de-
caying at the very doorstep, and a
great lack of scrubbins -brush appear
ed in TIE houses. Ii this neglect Of
preeaution is spoken Of, the negligent
tenant gays the place was all cleaned
up In the spring, and that it is dan
gerous to too much disturb the ground
in the bot summer season. Having
seen the condition of some Of these ex-
posed Mississippi towns, the wonder is
lot that they all escaped the fever at
this time, but that they have not been
desperately afflicted before.
The writer of the above passed
through here abJut two weeks since,
saying he was sent out by the New
Yord Times to write up the fever. He
was terribly scared, and did not seem
to know clearly what he was doing.
He however sent off twelve hundred
words from here by telegraph-writ~
ing UP the fever at long range, Grena>
da being nearly two hundred miles
south of here. We are told that he
never did enter Grenada at all, but
wrote from Water Valley long and
reliable (?) history Of the plague,
which is little nearer the truth than
his description cf Milan. Any man
who pretends to write fer the press
ought to know enough of geography
to locate a town in its proper state,
instead Of putting it seventy miles off
in another state, before he begins to
criticize the habits Of the people too
closely. He seems to think that eve
~ town should hare paved streets,
underground sewers, gas and waters
works, and all other conyenieaces of a
large city, and does not appear to
know that 1t Is impossible for small
towns, ren,ote from stone, ID have firm
and solid streets. SO far as Milan is
the above is base SANDER,
written by ndrunken man or
Il fool, or boA. Bat ii is oa par
with everything published in the
Times IN regard to the South. That |
paper is and has been one OF the bit
tercst enemies the South has ever had, !
ard we canHo' expect any better treat !
ment from it We have seen more !
filth and smelled more foul odors on
many streets in New York in one day |
than al of Milan could rake up in a

We copy the following communica,
ton frgm the Nashville American OF
Tuesday. We viii state that Col.

reading the article, telegraphed i'm
mediately for several gentlemen to meet
him in Nashville and confer about the

Milan, Tenn, Aug. "a, 1873
The prevalence Of fever in Memphis
and New Orleans and the consequent
suspension of all business in those ci-
ties compel our business men to be
hooking PRESENTATIONS fer new business
connections and new outlets for their
cotton. Trade with Memphis now is
something not to be thought of. And
50 with New Orleans. And our mer-
chants are naturally casting about for
some available point to ship cotton to
and purchase goods of. Nashville at
no time ever had so favorable an OPP
portunity to get the trade of upper
West Tennessee as now. All business
relations between Milan and other
points in West Tennessee and Mem
phis are suspended. Our cotton trade,
goodly portion Of which went to
Memphis (the balance going to New
Orleans(, and which is now opening,
must find new outlet. Shall this
outlet be Nashville, or Cincinnati,
Louisville or st Louis2 Gibson county
last season shipped about II, 900 bales
Of cotton to Memphis and New Or
leans. Of this Milan alone shipped
5000 bales. This is only one article
Of produce. Nashville, by stretching
out her hand, may to-day control this
trade. Our merchants buy goods at
those cities where they sell their cotr
ten. What efforts is she making to
control our trade? Once get it and she
then has it forever.
One thing would to-day insure to
Nashville our trade for the future.
That one thing is the extension to
Milan from Huntingdon of the Ten
nessee Central Railroad. 1t is almost
graded the entire way, and one month
from this date the Nashville d Chat
tanooga railroad could have it COM
pleted and i'll running order, and be
the "bag carrier Of this rich and
growing country. 1t could then have
close connections with New Orleans at
this place and with Memphis, aud all
points west. We have Il town of g.
500 inhabitants, a rich and compara-
tivly new and prosperous country.
Cur town is due west from Nashville,
and all reshiPping will be avoided by
the extension,

.ty will never again present itself. 1t
