Ho farther re marks that tho cotton crop is still nlivo and growing, and until a killing frost, he ia justified tn hoping for . result far beyond present esti mates. Cotton, generally, in this section, con cluded its programmo for tbs year some time ago, by putting out top forms—bnt for • month there has been no weather even to advance this final effort.

Brain had made nn attack npon the nwinc, and was in the act of carrying off a large sized shoot, when the young miss pilched into hiai and killed him with a lightwood knot. Deut. or rax Sor runts StiTts.—The Radical members of tho Kn-klnx committee have re fused to allow tbo evidence of Kadieal State of ficers, as to fiDoneial management, to go to the pnblio in printed form. Tho startling fact, however, has been elicited that sinoe the close of the war the debts of tho /Southern States have been inerrased, by railroad and other im provement bonds, so-called, $22(1,000,000, for which expenditure there is little or nothing to show. Grant ami Butijr. —The Commercial Adver User (a Grant Republican paper at that) is guilty of the following. Need we point out with Artenms Ward that “this is sarkssam One of the anticipated pleasures of the Pres ident in visiting Boston next October will be that of congratulating General BnUer npon the triumphant issue of bis oanvaas. His Excel lency remarked to a Pennsylvanian, the other day: “It is nselese for the politicians of Massa chusetts to kick against the pricks; (he people ere with Butler.” It is this sagacity which give* the country confidence in Grant. Tn. Ex Eimnon G. W. 8., writing of two photographs of the ex-Emperor Napoleon, one token before the war, the other taken in Jane last, says the former is the portrait of a men over-hardened, over-worked, haggard with core end anxiety end more toil than he had atrength for. In the latter, thef.ee has grown round and fall; the cheeks erefirm; the eyes have eoareless good nature; the face and figure are younger; in the whole attitude and expression of the man as he is to day there is an appearance of ease, of relief, of good living, and of saying, “Yon think I care, bnt I don't." Mr. Hill's Letter To the member, elect of the Legislature will be fonnd in this edition of the Txlxohapii. He Instate that he has uved the State from another reconstruction sinoe the election lest December, and be suggests a course of general moderation —practical respect for the oonstitntionel amend ments, and, also, non-interference with the lease of the Western end Atlantic Railroad. The views of tho Txuouira in this general connec tion ere too well known to need repetition. Georgia, although a so-called State of tho Union, is still practically in the hands of her enemies, and this fact ahoald inspire her public men with oeation even in the matter of redressing her own injuries. She should give her foes no apology for violence, by any thing which can be plausi bly charged os violence in her own cense. We take it for granted that the new Legislature will be careful to illnatnte the sagacity of their an cestry embodied in the State motto—“Wisdom —Jnstioe—Moderatioh.” Eioiit Goon Dale.—Yesterday was tho eighth consecutive day of sunshine this section has en joyed since September set in.

Hamilton is attending on them, and hopes are entertained that through bis skill and attention their arms will be restored. Death or Colonel J. B. Lowe.—We regret to learn of the death of Colonel J. B. Lowe, of Social Circle, on the 26rb, of meningetis. Col- one! Lowe was a brother of Colonel Thomas F. Lowe, ef this city, a leading citizen, a bright Mason and an upright, unswerving gentleman. He was over fifty years of age. One bnndred and ninety-five acres of land near Rome were sold last week for $7,500. Hon. Britton Sims, member of tbe Legisla ture from Heard eonnty, died on the 16th in stant The Sim, of yesterday, says tbe Atlanta street railway is an established success, and is paying enrrent expenses already. We quote tbe following from the San, same date: The Tennessee Cab Compost. —This mythical company would seem to have been gotten np for ’ ' * * • big the express purpose of improperly making ig pile out of tbe State Road. As before re marked, it is a bogus concern, no such company having any locality or actual existence, so far aa any one can learn. A contract was, it seems, entered into by the Western and Atisntio Rail road, with this bogus company, to furnish a large amount of cars for the Road. This con tract was signed, on part of the Company by E. N. Kimball as its "manager.” In fulfillment of a purchase of ears from this “Company,” Foster Blodgett as Superintendent of tbe West ern and Atlantic Railroad, gave bis note or notes, payable in bank. These notes were in dorsed by E. N. Kimball and II. L Kimball, and thereupon were disoonnted by the bank— When they were dne, they were paid by Capt Blodgett on a paued bill of the Wmtern and Atlantic railroad. The whole was deliber ately done—tbe giving of the note or notes, and the payment of the money. Blodgett was invi ted before the oommittee to explain this, and was unable to give any satisfactory answer. He oonld not tell wbo composed the Company, nor where or when the cars were made or delivered, nor whether delivered to the road or not. He said, of oonrac, be knew they were delivered, bnt he oonld not refer to any ttidenee of that fact—had no bills for the same—no reports or eertifieates of subordinate officers that the cars were on the road, or had ever been pnt on it— only he simply knew they must have been re ceived because they were.

Gen* jEinct If. Clanton Killed *>y Colonel I>n vM 3L Nelson. From tbe Knoxville Herald, 28tb. One of the most deplorable affrays that ever took place in Knoxville, happened hut evening. Gen. James H. Clanton, one of Ibe best law yers, and most popular men of Alabama, was shot and instantly killed by CoL D. M. Nelson, of Cleveland, Tenn. Gen. Clanton was attending npon tbe United States Conrt to guard the interest of Alabama in tbe A. A O. Railroad ease, and bad never met CoL Nelson, who was interested in a case now pending in ibe Snpreme Court, until fire nun- utca before the affray oecured. After the fatal shot hid been fired, the body of Gen. Clanton was taken into the beck office of tbe Confectionery store under the Lamar House, where every effort was made by compe tent surgeons to restore life, bat in vein. As soon at life was ascertained to be extinct, the body was removed to the reading room ol the T.nmar House, and Esq. J. F. Ally, acting Coroner, snnunoned the following jury : W. U. McBath, E. W. Adkins, A. O. E. Cnllen, J. N. Hacker, S. IL Renahaw, Joo. Crowley, and J. A. Brakebil). After tbe jury were sworn, Tomlinson Fort, Esq., being sworn, stated to the jury that about ten or fifteen minutes before G o’clock, p. m., be was standing et tbe corner of Gey end Cum berland streets, baring just come out of Eifler’* Saloon. He bad jnst met Col. D. M. Nelson and was walking arm in arm with him, being an old friend, when he saw Gen. Clanton with a dark whiskered gentleman (CoL A. S. Prosser) on the other side of tho street. They crossed over and met them and be introduced Gen. Clanton Nelson with the remark that Nelson had fongbt “us,” (Fort was in the Confederate army and Clanton also) bnt bad been very liberal and honorable towards his late enemies. CoL Kel son or Gen. Clanton proposed to go and take drink. CoL Fort thinks CoL Nelson made the proposition. As they walked along the talk turned in some way on amusements, and CoL Nelson remarked that be could show Clanton something good if he was not afraid. Gen. Clanton said, “Do you think Fm afraid ?’ CoL Netaon said, “I don’t know whether yon ore or not” The ume remarks were repeated several times, Nelson apparently becoming excited, bnt Gen. Clanton was cooL Fort put his hand on Nelson’s shoulder, wbo was under the influence of liquor, and said, “Keep cool, Dave. Yon are in ibe wrong. There is no nse in figbting.” At length as Nelson repeated. “I don’t know whether you are afraid or not,” Gen. Clanton said: Well, if yon think I’m afraid just try me. Name yonr friend, time, place and distance, any time or any place." CoL Nelson said this was as good a time and place as any. Gen. Clanton then said, “Fort, step off the ground for your friend." CoL Fort refused to do so, aa both were friends and there was no canto for a quarrel. White be was talking with Gen. Clanton, CoL Nelson hsd gone into Eifler’a saloon, and as ho wss urging Clanton to go off as Netaon was drunk, Fort heard tbo door of the St. Nicholas open. He looked and saw CoL Nelson with a double-barrelled gun coming ont He thought that Netaon fired (ho first shot, and as he fired, Clanton levelled his pistol cocked it and fired. Nelson at anee fired again, and after tbe shot Gen. Clanton fell forward, doubling himself np on his hands and face. He didnotknow what became of Nelson after the fatal shot was fired. Colonel Fort stated that during all the con versation Gem Clanton held bis bands on his coat collar, while Nelson kept his hands in his pocket. Jndge C. F. Trigg being sworn, stated that he hadjustlaiddowninhisroom.No. 10, in the La mar House, and heard loud talk on Cumberland street, and got up and looked out of tho window and saw Clanton and Fort standing in the street. Clanton said to Fort, be told mo to take my po sition. Very soon Nelson came ont of Eifler’s with a donblo-barrel gun in his hands, and rested the gun against the right hand ride of a post, and fired at Clanton, who bad no weapon in his hands, at the time. Soon after Clanton drew a pistol and fired. Nelson then fired ugain at Clanton, wbo stood quartering to Nelson. Doctors W. F. Green, of Greeneville, and J, B. Tadtoek, of this city, tilled to the jury on oath, after making an examination of the body, that fifteen or eighteen shot or Bmall balls bad entered tbe chost near the right shoulder, frac turing tho shoulder joint, severing sevoral arto- tries and veins which are essential to life. They thought that a portion of the shot bad entered tbe lungs. Two shot or rings were taken ont on tbe back side of the shoulder by them. Tbe jury consulted s few minutes and ad journed to meet this morning at !• o’clock, when they will render their verdict It is but jastice to Mr. Eifierto state thst tho weapon was not obtained from bis house, but from some of the houses on Gay street, to whose back doors access can be had from his back door. We learn tbat CoL Nelson, immediately aftor the fatal shot, procured a home and fled across the country. The last hoard from him', was at II o’clock last night He was reported to bay. ing passed tbe toll gate noar Jndge Temple’s bonse on the Kingston piko, three milos ahead of Sheriff Gossett Tbo father of CoL Nelson, Horn T. A. R. Nelson, one of tho Judges of the Supreme Court of this State, sent ont two of his other sons, in company with tbe Sheriff, to bring him back if they conld find him. Wo have elsewhere stated who Gen. Clanton, the deceased, was. Nearly every one in East Tennessee knows CoL Nelson, but for tbe information of those at a distance, it is proper tbat we shonld state that he is tho second son of Horn T. A. R. Nelson, one of the Judges of the Snpreme Conrt of this State, a jurist and statesman of national reputa tion. He was a Captain in tbo East Tennessee Regiment in the Federal army, during the late war, and was on Gen. Gillem’s staff. Toward the close of the war he was brevetted Lieuten ant Colonel. He ia a young man of warm, gen erous and impulsive nature, and has hosts of friends wbo will deplore so untoward sn event in bis career. THE BEJTAIXS The remains of Gen. Clanton, clad in a new suit of grey coarimere, with a bouquet of ever greens and flowers on the breast, from tho hand of Mrs. J. A. Rhea, of Montgomery, after remain ing in the Reading Room of the Lamar House, where they were visited by numbers of our cit izens. till ten and a half o’clock, were placed in a mahogany enamelled casket Accompanied by a number cf friends they were conveyed to Ibe depot and leftfor Montgomery on the twelve o'clock train in charge of CoL J. H. Gindret, of Alabama. Beets ct Montgomery.—Tho Montgomery Advertiser says: Some idea of tbe immense value of real es tate in the bnsinesa portion of the city of Mont gomery may be bad from the fact that one building on Court Square, rents for $10,450 per annum.' It measures about fifty feet front by sixty feet deep, and therefore rents at about tho rate of three dollars for every square foot of surface of soil on which it stands. The following “notioe” was stuck up in va rious places in a certain district of Grayson eonnty, Kentncky, a short time since: “Notice to all their will be a Big barbecue on Saturday September tbe 9th 1871 in the territory grayson County and the fair will be 25 Cents a meal and there will be one of the New kinds of Swings their on the grown and one of the finest Ban ger pickers you ever heard gows with the swing free and yon all Shall Ride twenty Rounds for ten Cents Come one Come all and hear the Banger.” HARRIED.
