Mr.. EDITOR Your correspondent "W."
is rather rough on us poor country folks
when he says, "the widest rumors were
circulated" &c. He denies by implication
that the sapient commissioners of the Mary
vile taxing district had resolved on any law
prohibiting US outside barbarians from
hitching our stock in the district. Yet a
well known physician of Maryyile who. I
understand is one of the commission, told
brother physician from the country, who
is also well known, that such a law was
passed Twill furnish "W" with the names,
If he wants them. 1t may be wild y idea,
but 1t is believed that the said commissioners
conceived all of sudden, a wholesome re-
| spect for the sturdy young men who ride
! good horses and wear red hunting shirts,
and who sometimes spend their money in
Maryville with free hand
! These young men have all been in Knox
vile, friend W., and none of them ever
hltched up their stock on Gay street, and
will not the next time they go, but you
ought to remember that Knoxville is at least
one half as large again as Maryville.
Please have patience with us outsiders.
The day may come when Maryvine will be
luuCpcuuGLl Vi luO y.
Then you can rule your little metropolis IN
city style. AIToH.

Even your Sanctification.

The more sound our experience, the
more quiet our piety, the more shall we
understand that this is the will of God,
even our sanctifcation. This is the
heaven we desire. We shall love it and
exult in it, in proportion as we love God
and exult in God. Herein " the children
of God have supreme taste for likeness
to God this is their chosen blessedness.
The children of the devil have no such
taste. They desire the incidental benefit
Of religion-such as escape from hell, and
dread Of it-also supports and consola-
tons under sorrows of life but they must
own that the renovation Of nature and
the restored image Of God awaken none Of
their sensibilities. The soul that is born
again is filed with expectations which,
however underlined, are at once spiritual
and glorious Beloved, now we are
sons Of God, and it doth not yet appear
what we shall be; but we know that
when he shall appear we shall be like
him for we shall see him as he is, "-Dr.

This shuts out the sunshine from pas

But ought these things so to act, and
so to obscure the sunshine of our path
way? Can man always live in the
sunshine, and yet be ready for the varied
duties of life that has much of hard
ship, and much of trial, and much of
WEAKNESS in it, at its best? In fact, is
there not sun that is always shining
whether we can see it, and feel it, or not :?
Can we not, and ought we not, to hope
on, pray on, struggle on, whether we see
and feel the sunshine or not? And is
there not time coming when the morn
ing shall break, and all the shadows shall

ever committed in this part of Texas

ly moved into the neighborhood to pick
cotton on the farm Of a Mr.. Hill, A dis
pute arose between the Sloans and negro
-Lum White-because OF an accusation
made by Lum that the Sloan children had
been grubbing peanuts from the hills oil
Lum's patch.
Lum went to the house Of the Sloan's
on Tuesday and wanted to whip the chill
dren, but was prevented by Mrs. Sloan
and her daughter, about 10 years Of age.
For this he swOre revenge, and the next
morning, upon the plea that she would
show her where some fine muscatnes were,
the wife OF l.um enticed the girl to u deep
ravine where Lum was In waiting. While
his wife held. the girl l.um outraged her,
and then, using u pocket knife, cut her
bowels open, both lengthwise and cross
wise, deliberately cutting off pieces OF the
Gntrals as they prOtruded and scattering
them far and near. lie then cut the girls
throat from ear to ear and left her body
where it was found.
At the inquest the woman confessed to
all Of the revolving details, when u young
man named Hart, incensed at this cool re-
cital Of hendish brutality, shot the negro
man dead. The wife Of Lum and an old

CHiCAGo, October lD.-A special from
Burlington, H., says The Mississippi is
still rising, and has now reached within
about foot OF the high water mark Of
June, 1850. The low lands on the Oppo.
site side Of the river are all under water to
the vicinity of sagetown, ILL.,, as are also
the bottom lands. On the Iowa side above
the city, several saw.mils along the river
front have been compelled TO shut down.
The islands above this city covered with
small trees are under water, and on some
only the branches Of the trees are visible
above the flood. At Keokuk, Ia, the
river still continues on the boom; and the
outlook is dangerous, and great damage has
already been done. There has been rise
Of fourteen inches in the lust twenty.four
hours. Operations at the timber yards
have been suspended. The water is grad.
TALLY covering the floor of the ST. Louis and
st. Paul Packet Depot. There is over n foot
OF water over the tracks Of the Iowa divi.
sion Of the Wabash & Chicago and Rock
Island 4 Pacific. II the water continues
to rise, work will have to be suspended at
the round houses and chr shops At Du.
buque the effects Of the flood are visible on
all sides. There will result untold distress
and loss in the stOppage Of saw mills
flour mills machine shops and
factories. The warehouses on the outer
levee are threatened with water on the first
floor and the goods therein nave been ele.
vated On barrels and boxes. The water is
up to the door stills. Occasionally piles of
lumber and racks OF cordwood are seen
floating down with the rapid current, broken
loose from some point above. The track
Uf the river road runs on narrow strip Of
land no wider than the ties with the water
on each side nearly up to the track From
all reports and indications the worst Is
over.
ST. Lofts, October i0.-A Warsaw, Ills,
dispatch says Me levee broke at a place
called Copper Slough, four miles below
there. The water IL now iour inches higher
than the big rise Of tho spring and
summer and rising Much damage will re-
suit 10 the crops Of hay and perhaps stock.
A Hannibal, No., dispatch says the
water only lacks few inches Of being as
high as last spring, and the situation Is
hourly growing more serious.
