Chattanooga Correspondence.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Your correspon-
dent from the city under the shad-
ow of Lookout Mountain has not
favored you with a communication
for a considerable period of time.
He will therefore now endeayor to
write such q letter as may make
amends for past silence:
Our business men are busily en-
gagged in their fall and winter trade,
and at this time our streets present
a lively appearance indeed. Not
outstanding the epidemic of yellow
fever last year, our population has
increased in the past two years
something near twelve hundred PEG
pie, the great majority OF whom are
enterprising, energetic and wide
awake business MEN and their fami
lies. The Cincinnati Southern
railway will be completed and trains
will be running through regularly
from that city to ours by the LIST
day OF January next, and that will
give a new impetus to the trade of
Chattanooga.
We have recently had Il very live
ly and exciting municipal election /;
one with which politics had but ht-
tie to do. There were two candI-
dates in the field for Mayor, three
for City Marshall, and as for Alder
men, they were too numerous TO
mention. The new board was in
Quoted into office last night, after
which an entertainment To the out
going and incoming boards was
given by the retiring Mayor, Hon.
j. I. Hill. Your correspondent be
ing honored with an invitation to
that entertainment was present, and
to say that the occasion was one OF
enjoyment, but family expresses
the feelings of those who were SO
fortunate as to be there. The occa-
sion was truly "feast of reason
and a flow of SOUL" (and also of

bile were proposed and responded to
IN the most delicious manner

for the purchase of a rolling mill,
and if successful, he announces hi

kind, send them over here; we have

Intemperance and Bob InGersoll.

EDITOR OF THE CITIZEN The ex-
tract which you published last week
from a speech of Bob Ingersoll
made recently before a jury in a
case involving the manufacture of
ardent spirits has caused much re
mark about town. 1t is certainly a
powerful delineatien of the evils OF
intemperance in few words; indeed
it would seem impossible to con-
dense more point and power in so
little space.
Col. Bob's severest critics forget,
for the time, his scoffing to admire
this splendid episode. Now, who
would be so rash as to suppose, for
a moment, that this was all stolen
thunder? That the incompatible,
the eminent, matchless, transcen
dent Col. Bob. would be guilty OF
old scrap book, made by hands
that are long since resolved to dust,
that contains this very extract, al
most word for word. 1t was taken
from a speech of mem Der of leg
islature, considering, for the time, a
measure to prohibit the sale of Ii
quOr. / regret that the name of the
speaker, nor that of the paper
from which the extract was cut, is
mentioned. The slip was put in the
scrap-book previous to 1858. This
is small matter, and l only call
your attention to it 10 show the nu-
merous admirers of Col. Bob that he
is not entirely perfect, or, at least,
has his little weaknesses, as well as
his fellows. OF course you would
not spare your valuable space for a
ger 60tima copy OF what you had pub
lished in the CITIZEN so recently.
Ii anybody is curious to compare
the extracts, you can direct them
where they can be gratiied. r.

Rain was never more devouLly
prayed for in August, than was a
cold spell in which to Kill the raw
enous porker, and the most fastidi-
Gus could ask nothing nicer in
that way than we have had the
past week, and a general hog kill
ing time was had, and we are revel
ing in sausage, spare ribs and
iat.y bread About car loads of
hogs have been shipped from here
each day this week, but l think
the last have gone. don't think
another car load could be had at
any price One thing has been re-
marked about the hogs shipped, Is
that those that came from the Mar
shall country are fat, while those
from Big creek md this vicinity
are not so good, indicating where
corn IS plenty; Marshall had rain,
while we suffered
The Dora Bloom Minstrel troupe
we're to have performed here last
Wednesday night. All things were
made ready, but no audience ap
peared. They gave the town few
stirring airs Oh their brass band
and retired in disgust, which as the
lover said, it was "heartily recipro
Gated" We ask all those travelling
nuisances to take warning, and give
us the go-by, for we have had our
share OF such affections.
The average road overseer is now
working and having worked the
county roads, preparing for the
Criminal court; and allow me to
say l know men who for themselve
will tolerate nothing but fret class
work, who on the road do thai
which any sane man would pro-
nOunce idiotic. Why, sir, let them
come to a small gully aud they will
heap great piles of big, rough rocks
into it, and maybe throw a little
dirt on them, which the first rain
washes bare, by which our roads
are made seven told more the child
of the devil. Tnen let said overseer
come to any steep hill, he will get
the biggest rail he can find and
iasten several down across the road
at the steepest place, professedly to
turn the water off the road, but ap-
parently to try the strength OF
teams and vehicles.
Were / a road overseer the first
thing / would want to do would be
to march my hands over the road
without tools and throw into the
fields every rock that lay anywhere
near my road. Then / would have
hauled sorghum stalks (they lie in
heaps everywhere and fill the gull
lies and cast dirt on this, and it
will never wash out; or put small
brush in and then cover with earth
and no amount OF water can remove
them; then ditch on each side, and
instead Of the rail slight drain on
either side and q little bank Of
earth and sorghum stalks. The
roads are shame and digrace TO
our fair county.

Rev. Mr.. Long preached a very
searching sermon last Sunday morn
ing to his Church touching their du-
ties towards supporting church in
situations. He cut off one way of re-
treat usually resorted to by the
worldly minded, in his main attack,
by saying that some perhaps would
go away and say he had preached
begging sermon. He then re-
Delled such an insinuation with
great force and said that God
was not dependent upon charity
and His cause would prosper
without his hearers assistance
He simply pointed a duty and
would despise to beg men to per-
form it.
