night shop on one of the boulevards
was broken into, and strong box was
found in the morning wrenched open

it was thought that the burglar had left
no trace, but on a careful examination
of the floor q piece of chewed tobacco

to rest on former employee who was
given to using tobacco in that particular

such proofs of his guilt were forthcom-

The First Cabiegran.

The first message over the Atlantic
cable was q dispatch from Queen Vic
toria to President Buchanan. There were
95 words in the message, but owing to
something getting wrong with the wires
1t was "a hours from the time that the
first word was received until the last was
taken off. The principal part of the
message was the queens expression of
the wish that the cable would prove a
bond Of union and a link of friendship
between the two great nations. Mr..
Buchanan heartily concurred in this
wish and incidentally remarked to her
majesty that in his estimation this

EAST TENNkSSkn AGAIN TO THE RESCUE.
What did our country do in that
tremendous emergency She called on
the people of East Tennessee to rally
to her rescue-and rally they did. On
to New Orleans they hurried, some on
foot, some on horseback, some on fat
boats, all ready to risk their lives in
driving back the invaders. The battle
of New Orleans was fought, fought al
most alone by Tennesseans and we won
the victory. The men OF these mount
aims met and conquered the brayest
and best soldiers of Europe in
that great battle, and thereby became
entitled to the record in history as the
champion heroes OF the world.
That battle would never have been
won had it not been for the East Ten
nesseans in our army. Indeed, the
very powder our army used in that bat
tie, was made in East Tennessee-made
right here in Jefferson county BY Sam'l.
McSpadden, some of whose defendants
are here to day.
Now suppose the battle of New Or
leans had been lost, and suppose Eng
land had held the country west of the
Mississippi. as she probably would have
done, what would have been the result ?
We would ave had another Canada on
our west; ahd thus hemmed in be-
tween the Mississippi and the ocean, a
long string Of states on one side Of the
Allegheny mountains anda long string
on the other side, we would certainly
have split up into independent and
hostile fragments. Again the men Of
these mountains, the patriot heroes oi
East Tennessee, saved the life of our
country, and made possible q nation
