more like a small lock Of niger wool

anything else under the sun.
Your correspondent regrets that bis
able young friend. j. W. Faxon, in
dulges the vulgarity Of denouncing
the writer when he is unable to refute
what is written. Why does he not
show that public and private debts
press upon the individual with like
obligation, instead of trying to portray
the author OF such theory as crank
politically dishonest" and other op-
probrious terms, as he did in the To
bacco Leaf of the 9TH inst? If Faxon
should emigrate from Tennessee would
he leave his pro rata of the public
debt behind2 If not. he should STOP
the argumentum ad hominem, and
give a plain, unimpassioned reason for
the faith hat is in him.
Every Democrat in Tennessee should
rally to the support Of the Nashville

consistent journals in the State. The
proprietor and managing editor, John
W. Thomas, Esq, is a young lawyer
Of rare promise, while in his staff,
Colonel George Mcknight, Major n
G. Bate and L. NJ. Riley, he has strong
editorial support. Major Riley is an
editor by nature, and was once con.
nectsd with the GAINESVILLE press
Bate has been in the harness from
boyhood, while Colonel Mcknight,
though coming to the tripod later in
life, had a splendid schooling as a man
Of letters and as a member first of the

The Egyptian Puzzle.
Nav York Herald.

AS the Sultan is aware that he
could never govern Egypt save under
the tutelage of Europe, and as he
cannot possibly be supposed to set a
high value upon sovereignty with such
a limitation, has refusal to assert his
authority in hat province will only
be an evidence that he has the old
time inclination Of Sultans not to
trouble himself about theories. He
has no occasion to go to Alexandria to
get into trouble. He will therefore
probably pursue the same policy as
hitherto, and while bowing politely to
the Khedive before company, he
will encourage Arab Pasha to 60
ahead and make as much trouble
as he can, because in the troubles OF
Egypt there may be some hope for an
improvement OF the Sultan's prospects
in that country. But what will the
Conference do When the possibility Of
action by the Sultan is erased from

ton is necessary but unless it is very

however, we can speak without quail.
iRcation or reserve; and, the situation
being thus simplihed, il costs us
nothing to rally with the great ma
jority of the Democrats of Tennessee
to the Banner of Democracy, which
General Bate filings out to the breeze

whose folds are already Tapped by
those of the black flag of Radical
ism.
The debt is a sham, not a real issue.
Both parties propose to scale it. One
Of them has already scaled it. The
difference relates to q detail, not a
principle, and is one of ~expediency

enough to constitute a cause of irr> c.

their own. We simply refuse to be
duped. We refuse to give our con-

party on a pretext OF public credit and
honor In order that the party which is
in league with Malone may be con-
tinued in power. In this course we
are justified by the facts, by the argu-
ment an by our inclinations, as we'll as

On railroad maps never known before.
1t has had a decided effect upon the

men aud capitalists to be directed this
way. The Chesapeake l. Ohio railroad
having connected the Mississippi river

No other choice is left. The Memphis

and the Erlanger Syndicate will
touch the bluffs as soon as
possible. These three new
and distinctive roads will make
Memphis quite a railway center. We
will then have centering here seven
great lines, five east Of the river and
two west. These are assured; Others
will have to be built, one to New Or
leans and another to Texas. This
will give Memphis practically nine
important railroads, and as the place
is noted FOR its genial climate and

Two Congressional Falsiaers.

Mr.. Benjamin Butterworth falsifed
the Congressional Record, a few DAYS

out at the same time some remarks Of

is the notorious Mr.. George NJ. Robe

A source of Wealth and Pros
Derffy.

There are various sources Of wealth
in the South al yet comparatively un-
developed; some that were considered
insignificant are becoming important
One Of these, the Irish potato crop
mas in Shelby county, grown up within
the last few years to be a big interest.
Many Of the small farmers are grow
ing rich on a few acres of land that
was considered worn out years ago.
The profits are enormous, and there
is no question but that numbers Of
farmers IN this vicinity make more clear
money from a few acres planted in
Irish potatoes than many of the big
planters in the Mississippi bottoms.
These small farmers are producers;
they require but little capital and
make something where there was
nothing before. Where a man is able
aud willing to lwork, a few hundred
dollars will buy a mule and the
necessary implements and carry
him over the first season. II
he is not able to buy at first he can
rent very cheap, and after his first
crop is in market he has both money
and credit and can buy all the land
he desires upon easy terms. One in
stance affords sufficient illustration
Two or three years ago a family from
Mississippi came to the neighbOrhood
Of Buntyn's Station and started a
market vegetable garden in q small
way five miles east from Memphis. In
a short time they we're able to buy
some poor land, and on the first Ell
January, 1881, they bought another
piece, paying $1,000 down. That piece
Of a few acres wa planted in Irish
potatoes and the first crop brought in
market $2lOO. There is no bust
ness, no dealing in futures,
no cotton mill, no cotton plantation,
manufacturing or commercial pursuit
that can make such a showing as this.
We could give the names if necessary
and the names of others who have
been equally successful. This is but
one industry. Fruit raising is another
as we'll as small farming and stock
raising generally. Who will say that
the South is not coming forward and
contributing her full share to the
prosperity and welfare Of the whole
country. The people are not afraid
of honest toll, and none enjoy its
fruits more or turn the profits to better
account. New England will
have to look well to her
l%aurels. The Southern people are
becoming a money making and a money
saving people. And growing rich does
not make them sordid or harsh OF
selfish. They will still love the chase,
the dog and gun, books, music, travel
and art, and in time the mere favored
portions Of the South, such as the
country around Memphis, will be the
acknowledged garden spots ofthe earth.
The accumulation of wealth will come
soon enough, but with it will remain
chivalry aud refinement and the old
characteristic Southern hospitality.

DR.. LOTION LEAVES.
Farewell; Sermon Of = MIinister
Who Stranded His Bark
on Rock and Rye.

Rev. DR.. George A. Lotion, who the
other day resigned from the p~astorate
of the Third Baptist church, preached
his farewell sermon yesterday morn
ing. The congregation was an I'M
usually large one. The ordinary seat
ing capacity was taxed to the utmost,
and in order to accommodate the hum
dreds who came, chairs were placed in
the %aisles. His text was from Second
Corinthians, thirteenth chapter and
eleventh verse: Finally, brethren,
farewell. Be perfect; be Of good COM
fort; be OF one mind; live in peace,
and the Lord of love and peace shall
be with you"
Those who have been attending
services at the church during DR..
Lotions ministry there say that he
never preached a more fervent or elo.
quent sermon. He in no way referred
TO his recent troubles, but merely in
reference to himself said that had he
followed the advice Of his physi-
clan he would have resigned
six months ago. He had made
up his mind to resign the pastorate Of
the church any way on account of his
health. He reminded his congrega-
ton that be was preaching his fare
well sermon. and had endeavored to
select an appropriate text. Having
been their pastor for six years he re-
counted what he had done. He
had preached over FIVE hundred
sermons, and had baptized over tive
hundred persons. Finally he thanked
the officers of the church and all the
members for their sympathy and CO.
operation during his pastorate. He
thanked the press Of st. Louis for the
manner in which it had treated him
while here; and added, the press was
a power for good. In fact, the future
of the country and of the church de.
pended much on the press. In a most
and touching manner DR.. Lof-
ton declared his love for the church
and all connected with it, and closed
by bidding all the members of the
congregation a cordial and atfectionate
farewell. When the services we're
concluded hundreds of the congrega
ton shook hands with the minister
and babe him adieu. Some time this
week DR.. Lotion will leave for Warm
Springs, Ark, to join his family.
