Fred. Grant, entitled 'Halecks Injustice to Grant,
This article explains how Halleck misrepresented
General Grant after the capture of Fort Donelson,

clusvely in extracts from dispatches many of which
were suppressed.
Gov. Ireland of Texas describes the progress OF
that State.

One of the worst cases of mistaken
zeal and utter blindness, was that record
last week. A detachment of the Saliva
tion Army is reported as passing through
Waverly on its way to Jackson, "to fight
the devil" AS well might an imp from
the regions of darkness ascend to the
nights of the gold-lined clouds in search
of birthstone, as for a campaigning "Sal-
vationer" to deliberately march away
from the big distillery in search of the
devil. But that is possibly the reason
for our friend Jones chuckling over the
matter. He knows if they come to Jack
son they will not find the Old Boy.

Hon. James Emmitt is well known in
this county, and no one has ever accused
him of trickery, deception or dishonesty.
If his medical discovery is not what he
represents it to be, he is mistaken. He is
not trying to deceive the public. He is
not that kind of man.

1t seems to people outside of Gin

By the act Of this one man, Supreme
Judge is kept off the bench, and his
place occupied by Democrat who
was overwhelmingly defeated at the

Daniel C. Wilson was farmer and
circuit preacher living in Fayette
County, and man who is said to have
been cursed with strong appetite for
intoxicating liquors. A few days ago
he attended stock-sale at Washing

than was necessary for the stomach's
sake, and as consequence was COM
PEELED to get off of his horse and take
a rest in piece of woods along the
road. He remained in this situation
all night, and all the following day,
when he was found by a gentleman
living near, and taken to shelter, but
died in short time. Thus it seems
no station in life is proof againet
