To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
Yesterday morning left Rogersville
on my way home, and rode several
miles on the Rogersville and Jefferson
Railroad, owned by Mr.. Aiken, of
Knoxville.
"have travelled some," in my time,
and in many different modes, but my
ride from Rogersville to the south side
of the Holston river was the most unique
I ever experienced.
Arriving at the depot l found the
dump" about ready to start 1t was
merely a hand-car, such as is used by
the construction force, with two seats
with backs on the rear end. The freight
and baggage were placed on the floor
of the car or dump" When ready
to start a horse was attached to the
dump" the passengers got in, and Joe,
the employee, started the horse and the
"dump" and al it contained followed.
Our course was up grade three-fourths
of a mile or more, when the horse was
stopped, unhitched, switched off, (the
horse, l mean, switched off, and the
"dump" started down an incline and
continued to move from its own Yoli-
tion sill we reached the river and till
we had nearly crossed the bridge.
When we got upon the bridge we were,
of course, on dead level, and the imp
tus the down grade had given the
dump" was not sufficient to send it
clear across the bridge, so Joe jumped
out and pushed it to the cars, which
were waiting to take in the passengers,
baggage and freight on this side of the
river. When the down grade was too
great, Joe checked it with a brake. The
bridge is nearly finished, and in few
weeks the stately iron horse will take
the cars over it, and the present occu-
patton of the "dump" will be gone and
only live in the memory of men and as
a fearful thing of the past.
The cars took us to Persia p. o.,
where 1 got out and walked to st. Clair
When arrived there found that Mr..
BroyIes had commenced the fall session
of his school the day before. st. Clair
looks as though the people lived COM
Portable and well, maugre the hard
times.
Starting out again, found myself in
Whitesburg in short time, where
stopped several hours. Found the mer-
chants busy buying dried fruit and pro-
duce. Visited THE Times" office, and
started for a snug harbor for the night,
which I found at Daniel Fishers, in
Mr.. Fisher is known as a
most excellent farmer, of whose efforts
on well known farm l have before
spoken of. His system of rotation of
crops, blowing in oats, and good cul-
ture is fast bringing a very poor farm
into excellent condition
Wednesday morning, walked home,

THE SOUTHERN sCOURGE.

Accounts of the ravages of the
yellow fever in the Southern infect
ed cities increases in heartrending
fatality. Words cannot tell the ter
rible sufferings to which they are
subjected. Appeals for help still
come up from all quarters. and from
all sections, towns and cities, the
people are responding nobly. At
Memphis the borrow and fatality has
increased rather than diminished
during the week. The daily lists
of deaths and new cases are terrible.
From the tone of the city papers
and the dispatches the people re-
naming in the doomed city seem to
have settle down into q state of des-
pair that is hard to break by the
closest home thrust Of the plague.
They seem to know nothing of what
the outside world is doing. nor do
care. Doctors, nurses. drugs, sick
rooms, collins and graves engross
their attention with their petrifying
monotOny of occurrence. Many of
the most active workers have fallen
before the destroyer or are now
stricken with the pestilence. Ar
engagements have been made TO bury
the pauper dead more speedily, and
special policemen in each ward have
been detailed to search out the dead
and have them promptly inferred
A large force is employed in digging
trenches to facilitnte sepulture in
the Potter's field.
At New Orleans. there were II
deaths and 232 new cases on the
18th. The Sisters of Charity have
200 infants, of all nationalities, in |
charge, and they badly need food,
clothing, and especially blankets.
yellow fever has gained entrance in
TO the institution, and forty Of the |
little inmates are suffering with the |
disease. At Vicksburg, on the same
day, there were q deaths and 186 |
new cases.
At Brownsville, the fever has been
or the most violent character. The
officers OF the Howard Association
and the city officers, had to bury |
the dead. Scarcely case recover
ed. There is no abatement OF the fe-
yer at any infected point. Pestilence,
famine and death stalks through it.
More than a million of dollars are
needed for the relief of the sufferers.

Such a vast quantity of dried fruit as
is coming into market was never ex-
perienced in MorristOwn. The fact is,
there IS a superabundance of peaches
ana pioniy Ut apples. and for mars titan
full month the farmers have been pre-
pairing the fruit for market. There is
scarcely an exception at any farmhouse
in all East Tennessee, if we may judge
hY what our correspondent J. S. w.
saW IN Hami1lpR, Granger, Claiborne,

"walk over" in those counties. The
result is, dried fruit is taken in by every
store in town One firm are taking in a

OUR NEXT REPRESENTATIVE
WHO AND WHAT SHALL He BEa


To the Editor of the 8Iorristown Gazette
The Republicans have nominated
their man for the legislature. The sue
cess of this party in the present canvass
means hard money, contraction of the
currency, hard times made harder and
continuation of the policy which makes
the rich richer and the poor poorer in
National politics, and the payment of
our bonds at par or upon such terms as
the bondholders see proper to dictate,
and an increase of the already heavy
burden of taxation upon the people in
State politics.. Now the people, the
common masses of the two old parties,
do not endorse and do not propose to
endorse such policy. They propose to
make their voices heard and their power
felt in the approaching election We
want no candidate of a party caucus or
party convention; we want no candi-
date OF any Ring, national, State, MUM
cipal or corporation, we want no candi-
and would be leaders; but we want a
candidate of the people, from the peo-
pie and for the people. Such man is
T. q. CAIN. He knows our wants, he
appreciates our condition. he has the
stubborn will and the unflinching cour-
age to stand up for our rights and repre-
sent our interests In the legislature, and
the people propose to run him, and more
than that-theV nroDose to elect him.

The refusal OF Gov. Hice, of Massa-
chusetts TIC deliver the person of Hiram
H. Kimpton to the South Carolina au
thorities appears to have been based on
technicalities alone, considerations of
morality and public policy having ap-
parently beon ignored. After lengthy
examination of the case the Attorney
General of the State submitted his opin
ion to the Governor, in which he "cited
Numerous facts and precedents of action
in similar p.tsos where the discretion of
the executive has been exercised, and
the warrant for the surrender of the al
legged fugitive was refused" From this
it would seem that the Governor simply
availed himself of his discretionary
power to save notorious scOundrcl
from the peril of trial. This is not
the best way to abolish sectionallsm and
restore mutual confidence.

We are glad TO see that most of the

a Republican Congress with the ap-
preparations made since there has
