Quorum Court
Was in session Monday. A large
number of country people were in
town until it commenced raining
hard, when, with visions of another
"flood," those who lived near streams
took "French leave."
Making Repairs.
Workmen have-been engaged flip
week in repairing the dams and race
of our mills. Watkins & 'Kannft'n
Mill will be grinding to day, Waters'
will be ready to grind in eight or ion
days, and J. C. McCoy's Saw Mill

The .loncsborn Journal.
We have received a copy of the
above new paper, published at Jones
boro', Tenn., by Mr. John S. Hays, a
Practical printer and clever man.
'he "Jonesboro' Printing Co." are
announced as editors and proprietors.
The paper is handsomely printed.and
its mechanical execution is superior
to any country newspaper in upper
East Tennessee. We cordially wish
"John Sydney" abundant success.
Almost a Homicide.
Last Saturday night, a little after
dark, a young man named William
Morrison shot Frank Rogers, the ball
entering his left breast, striking the
breast-bone and ranging upward.
Dr's Blankinehip and Morton dressed
the wound, and probed for the ball
but could not find it. Frank was up
next day as usual, and said he found
the ball in his breeches pocket ; ho
seems to be doing very well. Mor
rison gave himself up to Sheriff Ed
raondson shortly after the shooting,
and on Monday was bound over to
Court by Esquire Garner, Morrison
giving bail. We have not learned the
cause of the shooting, aside from the
fact that Frank came up to Morrison
on Pigeon alley, and, as we learn,
was fired upon by Morrison before
cominer close together. It is said
that there had been no previous difll
cultv between the parties, and that
Frank was not the person Morrison
aimed to shoot.
New Hoot and Shoe HIiop
Mr. John Goodwin has opened i
Boot and Shoe Shop one door South
of Jno. S. Lawrenoe'fl store, where
xeo trust he will bo called on by our
citizens who want good, substantial
work. Ho is a first-class workman,
and will civo perfect satisfaction.

following particulars of this unfortu
nate occurrence from PiJa. Martin:
Mr. Wood ide nnd a young son of
Mr. Boyd McMurray's were crossing
Abraius Creek, a short distance above
where it empties into Little Tennes
see River, using a ropo, stretched
across, to puli the canoo over. The
canoo upset, Mr. Woodsido becoming
entangled in the rope was swept un

Cateliing Otter.
Recently a young professional man
of this county, living on a stream Paid
to be infested with rnuskrats, otter,
and lch like, concluded to enrich
himself by goiug into the fur and
Bkin business. Ho accordingly set
his traps, and anticipated a rich haul
of gamo. One morning, on going tho
rounds, he discovered a most strange
animal caught in ono of his traps. A
neighbor's Jennet had strayed that
way, and stepping into a trap had
tripped ou the bank and fell into the
creek. Sho was dead, lying on her
back, legs erect, tmd the trap dang
ling from her forefoot.
And now when anybody wants to
bo shocked by an earthquake, just
say "Otter" to that young man. A.
Editors Republican :
The time is now at hand when we
may be compared to a "bubble on the
ocean wave," drifting far out on the
turbulent waters of the Pacific, or to
a yard frog, after swallowing thirteen
ounce balls, sittincr quietly by the
cellar door meditating on the proba
ble result of a leap into tho dark.
Our daily communication with tho
"outer world" is cut off, consequently
we have no knowlodgo of things that
may happen "in a day." Knoxville,
proud Knoxville, may be sleeping
3,000,000 miles beyond tho confines
of an imaginary purgatory, for aught
wo know. The onca beautiful waters
of the Tennessee .River, that have
hvif running down stream ever rince
Job- turkey first gobblod, maybe
running straight up and down and us
kno.v nothing about it. What a sad
predicament. Is it possible that we
are drifting out on tho ocean of time
with our "little barks" laden with
aitjs at only 8 cents a dozen, railroad
tax to pay, and wagon hire dearer
than house-rent t Save us! Givo
us back our Railroad. Shall we lay
down our oars, quietly fold our arms
and nit down, as if. though we were
cemented to the ground, and calmly
submit to all this brain delusion
about impossibilities in reference to a
new railroad bridge across Little
River? or 6hall wc seriously consider
things in their truo light and say we
must and wiU have a Railroad ? A
Railroad wo cannot do without. If
we cannot have it through the medium
of the present company and tho State
should make no appropriations, there
are men who will repair tho road by
subficription rather than do without
it. Lot us have it. Then we can, as
heretofore, ship the products of our
county to market, and "aigs" will bo
worth a shilling. Maryville, without
a Railroad, may truthfully bo ora
pared to our mills soon after tho high
waters ; they were not worth a dam.

Editors Rbpcruoan :
As intemperance at me present tunc is
sweeping over our land like a mighty whirl
wind, tearing up by the roots the sturdy
old oaks of our community, and twisting
off, as it were, the tende r saplings of our
family forests, and entering the very doors
of our Churches, nnd tearing from thence
the old and the young whose presence in
times past, sweetened the pleasures of our
meeting together to worship, we feel con
strained to acknowledge our weakness and
inability to contend with this monster, and
call upon the Ministers in Maryville nnd
vicinity to donate to the cause of Temper
ance, just one hour of their time, durin
each month, for the next six months. This
hour to be spent in any manner that the
donor may think best to promote the cause
of Temperance, either hi a Temperance
lecture, or Temperance sermon on the
streets, or on the housetops, hallooing
Any way to get the Ministers of the Gospel

From various'perFona w". leant that
the destrtct'oti of property in the
Coves, ty last vt(k-H fieslut, wa
'renter than ever b' f re known. In
TuehiileeehoeCove the dwelling house
of Esq. "Henry WpLIt was waited
away also fccvcml log houses were
swept away by the flood. All the
rail f nces on tho river, from the
Cjvestto Mr. John Rorax's, are gone.
It in said that thero are mild enough
on Mr. Rorai'd islands to enclose
Blount county. Walker's mill, on
I loss' Creek, Miller 'r Cove, was car-,
riod off.
The Little Tennessee was higher
up about Chilhowec than it has been
for several years. Just below Esq
Brighfa tho water caui-i up into the
house of Mr. Mortimer Bright, and
tho family took refuge in an cu.hou:-e
higher up on tho Lank : during the
storm Wednesday night a large tiee
wan blown down, which fell across
the outhouse, crashing through the
top n:d hurling a part of the timbers
ii.t.i ih river. The fani ly, strange
a.-. :t ta:i appear, fortuiir-t"ly escaped
Borious injury. There was great
dc. uf turn on i lii ri"r, but wj have
not jet received fu'l p'.iuicnlars.
Mr. Jno. A. Ellis, of Montvale.
informed us Monday that nenrly every
farmer near Ihi.t place was damaged
by tho washing away of fencing,
tearing up of t!ie soil. iVc. The Josses
ratige from 20 to $100.
Mr. J.. W. French informs us that1
it is a mistake that the cattle of Mr.
Jessee Donaldson, on Little River,
were drowned, but that they had an
exceedingly narrow escape, tho water
being several inches deep in the
barn.
All tho mills in Happy Valley were
destroyed except one, and tho dam of
it is gone.
S. M. ells Bro., at this place,
had their Tanyard damaged to the
extent of ovor 100: Watkins &
Hanna's loss is about $500. Col.
Jas. Davis, on Little River, had his
barn washed away ho lost 200
bushels of wheat. We find it impos
sible to givo all tho losses in the
county, as we havo no means of
getting them.
Mr. V m. Means informs us that on
Wednesday night, during the storm,
a double chimney of Esquire E. B.
McKeehan s houso was struck by
lightning and demolished down to
tho roof.
ESTIMATED LOSS IN ELOUNT.
The total loss by the recent freshet
in this county, ifl estimated at $150,
000, which includes only what, can be
enumerated ; there is undoubtedly
considerable more losses than has
been reported.
WATER PTOTJTS.
A largo number of terrific "water
F.pouts" are reported to have fallen in
various portions of tho county, some
of them making great pits in the
ground, and washing away soil and
fencing that would not otherwise have
been destroyed. Iu the range of
mountains cast of here, on Nine-Milo
Creek, and on Bay s Mountain, on
Little River, these "waterspouts"
were unusually large and destructive.
Near Mr. Solomon Farmer's, on
Ellejoy creek, a "water spout' washed
away a large part of the mountain.
This creek was ten feet higher than
it has been during tho last hundred
years.
Mr. Jas. Greer, of the firm of J.
M. Greer & Co., this place, informs
us that a water spout fell near
Miser's Station, in the lower end of
this county, which took up trees 2
feet through and washed them far
down a gorge.
TnE MAILS.
We have received but two mails
from Knoxviflo si ace Feb. 23d one
mail last Saturday, carried over "by
Mr. Joseph Anderson, and one last
Wednesday morning, brought over
by Messrs. Joseph, Thurston and
Isaac Anderson, for which they de
servo considerable praise, as it rer.
quired no little nerve and labor to
surmount the obstacles of a trip to
Knoxville by "Shanks' mare."
We havo received no mails east
from beyond Bristol ; and none at all
from west of Knoxville.
Mr. John Smith took tho mail from
here to Knoxville Thursday, and
brought back tho mail, from
Knoxville" j esterday .
MOIiOANTON, LOUDON COUNTY.
I would not be understood to say
that it rained at no other place during
the week ending February Slst ; but
it did rain at Morganton. It rained
above Morganton. Tlw river rose
within 17 inches of the mark reached
in 18G7. Only five houses wer tena
ble after tho water rose ; several even
moved to other places. Borne were
left in tho streets. The water como
up to the top of the door of the
church. The warehouse was washed
to, pieces, but saved. The Ilolston
bock-waters reached several miles
above Morganton. The Tennessca
was said to havo been seven feet
higher than it was 8 years since.
Much damage was done- by the wiud.

AT KNOXVILLE.
The following additional particulars
we condense from the Knoxville
dailies :
Mr. S. T. Atkin, whose saw mill
was at tho mouth of First Creek, was
damaged to tho extent of $10,000.
His machinery is nt the bottom of the
river, and a poition of his mill, a
store house, and over 300,000 feet of
lumber floated away. Tho water
subsided about Sunday, but owing to
the rains Monday morning raised
four feet again, and tho backwater
reached tho Tannery on Second
Creek. But the waters were falling
Tuesday at 12 o'clock, in. Masuro
monU show that the river lacked
about 28 or 30 inches being as high
as it was in 1SG7.
IN KEVIER COUNTY.
In Sevier county great damage was
done on tho Pigeon rivers. A cor
respondent of the Knoxville Chroni
cle states, that Pigeon rivers Were
about three feet higher than iu 18G7.
Thero was twenty feet of tide water,
and it spread three fourths of a mile
on each side, upon an average, from
Sevierville to the mouth of the river.
It swept everything before it barns,
mills', corn-cribs, and dwelling-
"On the "west fork of The river .our
or five mills were washed away. N
W. Emert lost his saw aud grist mill.
Tho bridge at Pigeon Forgo was
taken, Trotter's mills badly damaged,
and their stables, corn and forage
nearly all lost Thomas Sharp's fine
flouring mill, together with his saw
mill, barn and al" his forage and corn,

and dollars. John Cams lost his
kitchen. J. P. Catlett lost his stables
and a largo amount of forage, and
several hundrod bushels of corn.
His farm is badly damaged. Mr. A.
Umbarger lost his saw-mill.
Tho water in Sevierville was from
8 to 10 feet deep in places, and was
on the floor of every house in town
from 12 to 48 inches deep. The
river continued to riso rapidly until
5 o'clock next morning.
The exclf cment in town was intense.
The screams of women and children
were intermingled with pealB cf
thunder and the roar of maddening
waves. No lives were lost. The
town was surrounded by the waters
so that no assistance could be render
ed from outsido.
Mr. A. T. Blair, two miles below
town, losthii? 6aw mill, stables, forage,
corn, blacksmith-shop and a good
portion of his household furniture.
Largo quantities of corn and , wheat
have been damaged m cru3 ana
Granaries.
J. S. Ford had about 30 or 40
stacks of hay ruined.
The loss in the county isstimatel
at from $100,000 tc$'JOQ,000 ' . It is
impossible to make a cqrrett estimate
now.
Tho water was 14 inches doep in
Gass' store, about the 6amo in Mur
phy's nnd Emmett Si Stafford's, and
about 2 feet deep in Wynn & Trot
ter's. They all sustainod consider
bio loss.
In addition to what is given in the

tlit the bridges over Boyd's &"d
Gass' creeks ftro gone. Mr. Murphy,
one mile abovo tho mouth of Pigeon
river, lost 4,000 bushels of corn, aid
a valuable horse. David Reagan, at

We have to use a boat to get to and
from tho telegraph office, and from
one side of town to the other. Tho
railroads are cut off in every direc
tion, consequently there has been no
mails to or from the city for several
days past, until.now, a steamer lias
gone down the river with mails and
passengers to Bridgeport, where it
will meet tho tram for Nashville.
Only onevire remains up, aud we
fear its loss momentarily.

On the weptem division there are numer

loss of the two spans of the bridge over tin
llr.vassi'c. The contractors telegraphed l'
the railroad company that they woul.l
trestle the bridge ns soon as the water run
down sufnet ntly. The steamer K.
Jackson, is nt Charleston, and will be usea
in making transfers.
W01 k was commenced on the repair of
the "h-caks" on the western division. If
no further disaster occurs the repairs will
be completed in four or five days. Mean
while, of course, no trains will run over
t !iu western division. But the flood in tho
lower end of the valley, will probably
further injure this line soutl' of Cleveland,
and in tho light of present knowledge,
speculation is useless.
