The Menphia Appeal, of the 2

a conduetor diu the Chattanooga and
Memphis Rilroad; which was briedh
mentioned in our telegraphic de

On Wednesday night; as tho tr~ii
for Memphis wan leaving Chattanoog
Gen. DuatneY H. Mnuey, the well
known dofdtider of Mtobile, stbppedi
into the Pullman sleeping cihr and
took a usent. Seeing Mr. Trice, . th<

this Trice responded that it wa
known as a S ,uthern Pullman car,
but Was ownel by a Northern com
pany. duu. Mattry then asked Trice
his name and on bein4 ans*8red; pibk.
ed up his oarpet saok and eft, for the
ladies' oar, here, as Trico *as inL
fordietl by a blalhsman, Gen Maury
indulged in sums remarks about him,
making threats of a sUmmary charse.
ter. Trice, ipon hearilig 1lls, ltladc
up his mind to Intuire into it; and
was about leaving his oWn for the
ladieb' car for that putpdso when Gen.
Maury made his tppeitralide and d.
dressing him (Trice) asked : "Are
you the man who circulated those lie
obout Mr. Davis I" 'To Which Tribe
responded : "I am the nian who told
what you refer to." To this Gen.
Maury responded, stepping back and
putting his hand on his hip : "You
are a d-d lying son of a-." Where.
upon Trico seized Gen. Maury by the
arm to prevent him, as lie says, from
shooting, knocked him down, and
seizing a large poker near his hand
struk Gen. M. on the head every
time he attempted to get up (perhaps
six or seven times) until he be-3ame
senseless from the repetition of the
blows. By this time the cars were 1o
motion, therefore the authorities
could not intervene. Gen. M. was
taken charge of by the employees of
the train until Huntsville was reach
ed, where he was put off to receive
medical treatment.
About Editors.
Will Castleton rhymes as follows
about a farmer who took a boy to a
pa inting offiue to "make an editor
out o' him P.
The editor sat in the sanotum and
looked the old man in the eye ; then
he glanced at the grinning youth
hopeful, and mournfully made this
t6ply :
"Is your son a small unbound edi.
tion of Moses and Silomon both ? can
h1 compass his s-pirit with meekness,
and strangle a natural oath 1 Can he
leave all his wrongs to the future, and
carry his heart in his cheek 7 Can
he do any hour's work in a minute,
and live on six pence a week ? Can
lie courteously talk to an equ'l, and
browbeat an impudent dunce ? Can
he keeip things in apple. pie order and
dd half a dozen things at once ? Can
ho press all the prings of knoweldge
*ith quick and reliable touch 1 Can he
be sure that he kitows how muoh to
know; alid kno*A, I .w to not
know tob much ? Does he know
hw to stir up his virtue, and put v
