A Western Mans Views.

A correspondent Of the Pitts

ing from Chattanooga has this to
say Of his reception :here:
"But what struck me more par
ticularly in this section of the
South, where they have suffered
more, perhaps, from war than any
other part, is the hearty welcome
any one from the North receives,
and the great anxiety manifested
to have Northern men come and
settle among them, and especially
that the minds OF the people of
the North be disabused of the
idea that there was any prejudice
existing which would prevent
their cordial reception. Your cor
respondent has abundent evil
dence of this.

Sheen Raising.

The odious(?) dog law which
was expunged from the statue
books by the supreme court, aud
which made the present legisla-
ture the laughing stock OF the
whole country, was salutary law
in It's effects, Notwithstanding the
short time of its existence, which
fact is beginning to realized, judg'
ing from the numerous reports
that one hears of the slaughter OF
sheep all over the country. The
law, whilst i'll force, did visibly
decrease the number of worthless
dogs, and a new impulse was Civ
en- to the sheep raising; but this
interest 10 decreasing again. l
mention. this, SO much ridiculed
subject, simply TO ask a question:
l. there no legal mind in the great
State of Tennessee that can frame
bill to meet the requirements OF
the constitution on this question,
which SO nearly affects interests OF
such great IA ,gnitude tothe whole
State? [ notice that the legisla
lures Of other States have passed
laws on this subject which seem
to meet the appreciation oil their
people, and are producing good re.
suits. make there suggestione,
hoping that the RURAL SUN,which
is the organ OF the farming aud
stockgrowing interest of the State,
will continue to urge upon our
people the importance OF taking
some action on this subject, before
the election Of the next legisla-
ture. close by wishing the sun
may continue TO grow IN useful
ness, as it has done from year tc
year, and abundant prosperity.

az to be harmless even to children, 1t Is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
