J. B. MURPHY
RESIDENT DENTIST,
R ESPECTFULLY informs his friends, and
the public generally, that he continues
the practice of DENTISTS Y in ail its branch
es, and has fittod up an office, over the store
of McGuire 4 Pinson, where he is prepared
to execute all operations appertaining to Den
tistry, in the most approved manner.
Ht would also call the particular attention
of those in want of Artificial Work, to his su
perior style of teeth, set on gold plats ; for
beauty, strength and life-like nppeaennee,
thsy are not surpassed. As an impression has
been made that my prices for dental opera
tions are higher than the usual run of Den
tists, I beg leave to tay that they are th*sams
as charged by Deutists at Augusta, Maeon
and Savannah. For Artificial Work mychor-
ges are as follows:
Entire Rets Upper and Lower from $100 to $2 at
Half Sets, Upper or Lower, from 50 to 150
Temporary Sots, Upper and Lower, 25 each.
Partial Sets in proportion to the above.
As I am well posted in all the late improve
ments ofihe day, I feel confident that I can
meet tbo wants of ell who may need th* sot-
viees ofa Dentist, and if references nr* want
ed; as to their utility in answering th* purpo
ses of nature, I can give them in abundance,
from those wins have tested iny skill, for the
last fourteen years, iu this, and adjoining
States.

ntik*,” who ia an applicant for
the tfaahville Postoffioe, in a totter
written from Washington to the Nash
ville Patriot, tints shows up the econo
my of the Federal Government:
The way the Government gets its
work done is curious. As an illustrfe
tion, you and your family meet m con
vention of the whole, and adopt a reso
lution authorising the construction of a
hen-coop in your back yard. You at
once appoint* me superintendent of the
work, putting a thousand or two dol
lars in the bank for me to check on.—
I get you to appoint my brother-in-law
olnef engineer.
1 appoint two of my brothers assis
tant superintendents, and my brother-
in-law appoints two of his brothers assis
tant engineers—all at your expense.—
We buy us each a fast horse ana buggy,
and ride around town, drink cocktails
and play billiards till the bank deposit
gives out when we make out a printed
leport of seventy-three pages, furnish
ing you a complete topographical sur
vey of your back yaitl, and a vast
amount of statistical information with
regard to the number of hens you are
likely to have for the next forty years.
We wind up the report with the an
nouncement that the site of the hen
coop has been selected, and a call for
another appropriation to prosecute the
work, which we assure you will be done
with “vigor.” You place another
thousand or two in bank, and we em
ploy two hundred hands at three dol
lars a day to transportseventy-five cents
worth of lumber (which costs you un
der our management about tens times
that many dollars) to the place of oper
ations, which requires about three
months.
In the meantime, we drive around
audgoou vigorously with the liquor
and the billiards. We then come up
with another report and a demand for
another appropriation. With this we
get the walls of the structure up, and
with one or two more appropriations,
and great many more cocktails and bil
liards, we get the thing covered in;
and at the end of twelve months,
which we very appropriately style our
“fiscal year,” we put you in formal pos
session of a ten thousand dollar hen
coop, that any negro carpenter would
have been glad to knook up some Sat
urday afternoon for a suit of your old
slothes..
lie thus modestly excuses himself
for epistolary brevity.
I meant to write you a long letter to
night, but unhappily 1 fine myself
placed in a singularly unavoidable po
sition for writing with my accustomed
force and perspicuity. My room is sit
uated in awing of the building. Just
opposite is another wing, with a nar
row court yard between. There must
be a ooucert or a circus, or some sort of
show in town to night, for at a window
immediately opposite mine a couple of
very pretty, what I would suppose to be
chambermaids, have been putting on
their clothes tor the lust hour, as if they
were fixing up to go somewhere. Thu
is very annoying to a man of family,
and if it were not so far down stairs, I
would go and complain to the landlord.
It would require an individual of tre
mendous power of concentrating his
thoughts to write an able letter under
such circumstances. 1 would close the
blinds and get further from the win*
dow, but I expect to pay for staying in
this house, and I am not to be driven
from pillar to post by such a spectacle
ns is now before me.
The Loan ef the Confederate 8tate*«-
A Calculation.
The following extract from the Mr-*
bile Advertiter furnishes an estimate of
the value of oetton, which is to sup
ply the the basis of security for the pro
posed loan: ’ .j. ", v . f ,
With these data before us, it is not
extravagant estimate that the cc
crop of the eight State*, during
next ten yean, will increme 40
But when is added to this the
ration that in the event of the
States standing aloof from the South
increased emigration hither of the CtB-
zens of those States, with their fhmUMi
ot slaves, is sura to take pUoe, we map
safely disregard the 4$ per oeat. of the
crop which is produced in those
States, and base our calculation upon
the former entire crops of the United
States. On that basis, the expectation
of future crops in the ConfederateStatse
is as follows -.
fn . ’ Bale*.
1861- 62 4,088,000
1862- 63 4,228,000
1863- 64 4,373,000
1864- 65 4,520,000
1805-66 4,67c,000
2866-67 4,8351000
1867- 68 5,000,000
1868- 69 5,171,000
1869- 70 --a-*•— 5,348,000
The next element in the calculation
is the average weight of the bale of oot-
ton, ranging from 300 pounds on the
Atlantic coast to 400 on the Mississippi
river, and upwards of 500 pounds for
the Mobile market. This we think*
may safely be put at 440 pounds; accor
ding to which the duty per bale will be
55 cents. These data give us the follow
ing results, as the principal and inter
est of the $15,000,000 loan for each year,
the income applicable to the redemp
tion of the debt, and the balance re
maining each year:

N. J. REYNOLDS,

Europe and the Morrill Tariff.
The Morrill Tariff seems to have pro
duced a consternation in tho British
manufacturing districts, and turned
from our Northern protective abolition
ists all the sympathy of their allies—
the British abolitionists. The London
Times, whose sympathies all along have
been with tliu Northern Abolitionists
and Republicans, and which has treated
very contemptuously the aotion of the
South, has a most significant editorial.
After declaring that two rival republics
new actually exist in the American Un
ion, under widely different auspioeg,
and expressing its abhorrence of slavery,
and its sympathies with the North, it
proceeds as follows:
“Their internal institutions ore their
own affairs; their finanolal and political
arrangements are emphatically ours.—
Brazil is a slaveholding empire, but by
its good iaith and good conduct it has
contrived to establish for itself a place
in the hierarchy of nations far superior
to that of many powers which are free
from this domestic contamination. If
the Northern Confederacy of America
evinces a determination to act in a nar
row, exclusive and unsocial spirit, while
its Southern competitor extends the
hand of good fellowship to all mankind
with the exception of its own bonds
men, we must not be surprised to see
the North, in'ipite of the goodness of
its cause and the great negative merits
of the absence or slavery, sink into a
secondary position, and lose the sympa
thy and regard of mankind.
The Revenue of the Confederate
States.—A correspondent of the Ma
con (Ga.) “Telegraph” writes from
Charleston.
On the subject of revenue for the
Confederate States, I am crdibly inform*
ed that Collector Boston, in Savannah,
is willing to enter into bond to turn
out three million dollars to the Treasu
ry the first year, Charleston is, with
equal confidence, oounted for five mil
lions—New Orleans for seven, and Mo
bile for three. There you have abun
dance of money.
Charleston harbor is woll stocked
with shipping, and it is odd to see the
Confederate nag flying from the North*
ern masts.
In 1870 the sum of $1,161,587 would
have to be provided for, while the duty
would yield $2,941,400, or nearly tktee
times the necessary amount.
Tbe Mvstrrious Murder at Jackson.
—All newspaper readers remember the
account published at the time relative
to the atrocious and mysterious murder
of young Miller, in the Union Bank, at
Juckson, Tenn., and the robbing of the
bank, about two years ago. A Jackson
paper a few days since intimated that
a prominent and well known citisen of
that place was suspected of being the
author of this dreadful crime, and had
fled from that place. The Banner, of
this city, has learned something further
in regard to the matter, and its issue of
Sunday says: “We learn verbally that
this suspected person jis Mr. John S.
Miller, a prominent merchant of Jack-
son, a man of high standing, and nnole
of the unfortunate victim. The evi
dence against him was entirely circum
stantial, but seems to have been strong
enough to induce him to seek safety in
flight. Among other things it isknown
as we are informed, that previous te the
murder, his affairs were very much em
barrassed, and he appeared greatly har-
rassed on account or the fact. Subso-’
quently to the murder he paid off hi* lia
bilities, and went on again swimmingly.
—Nashville Gaulle
The Purpose or the Secession Party
in Tennessee.—The Memphis Avalanche
says:
To make easy the minds of the Un
ionists in Memphis and throughout the
State—a doubt about the purpose of our
party being suggested in a communica
tion in the Bulletin of yesterday—we say
that we will run a candidate for every
office, from Mayor up to Governor. We
do not intend to let the most remote
opportunity pass which will aflbrd us a
chance of fighting them. We will have
a regular party organization in .Mem
phis, in SE
’ county, in foot all over
political
*°y i .,
the State. We will never give up the
fight until we drive them from tho last
ilace of honor and trust in Tennessee,
f they whip us we will try them again,
and if whipped again we will try them
unother time, and so on without end.
Ours is a war until Tennessee secedes,
or of a life time If she dees not. We
cannot strike hands with a Union how
ler upon Mty riane involving even the
most infinitesimal extent of
power.
; . -ewe—-—-
Goons Doty Frrr.—The St. Louis
Republican of the *23d says;
“Every day our importers of foreign
merchandize are receiving, by way of
New Orleans, very considerable quan
tities of goods, duty fret. The goods are
