THE DAlLlVvfcftlM TELEGHAPil PlilLADELPftlA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 18C9. JOURNALISM IN TENNESSEE. J1Y MAKR TWAIN. tit tlm Momnlils A la'nnrhe swoops thus who poKte.l him 2IP-lWhtle was writing the I nit word The miidr r. i'ii A his crossing ms i ni his VrlOd, knew he was ronrtliw a ientcnce that was saturated wltn iniamy aim With falsehood.

"Exchange. I was told by the physician that a Southern climate would improve my health, and so I went down to Tennwwee and got a berth on the Morning Gforij and Mi twit County IWir-whoop, as associate editor. When I went on duty I found the chief editor sitting tilted 'n a three-legged chabc with his feet on a pine taDle. There was another pine table in the room, and another afflicted chair, anjl Loth were half buried under newspapers Pud scraps and fihee.ls of manuscript. There vim a Wooden box of sprinkled witb cigar ntubs and "old soldiers, and a stovr with a door hanging by its upper hinge.

Tio chief editor had a long-tailed black cloth frock coat on, and whito linen pants. His boots were small nnd neatly blacked. He wore a rallied shirt, a largo seal a standing collar of obsolete pattern and a checkered neckerchief with the ends hanging down. Date of costume, about ISIS. Ho was smoking a cigar and trying to think of a word.

And in trying to think of a word, and in pawing his hair for it, he had rninplod his locks a good deal, lie was scowling fearfully, and I judged that he was concocting a particularly knotty editorial. He told mo to take the exchanges and skim through them and write up the "Spirit of the Tennessee l'ress," condensing into the article all of their contents that seemed of interest. I wrote as follows: "SPIRIT OF T1IK TENNESSEE I'KKSS. "The editors of the tSemi-Wckbi KarthnunkK evi dently labor under a misapprehension wltn regard to trie WHiiynacK railroad, is not trie oojeei 01 the company to leave Unzzardvllle oil' to one side. On the contrary they consider It one of the most Irn- lortutit points alone the line, and consequently can rave no desire to slight it.

The gentlemen of the Jiarthiptake will of courae take pleasure in making the correction. "John W. lllossom, the able editor of the Illgglnsvllle Thnmlerbolt and Unfile Cnof b'rteilnm, arrived in the city yesterday. lie is stopping at the Van Huren House. "We observe that our contemporary of the Mud Spring Moriihuj Hturl lias fallen into the error of supposing that the election of Van Werter Is not uu established fact, but he will have discovered his mistake before this reminder reaches him, no doubt.

He was doubtless misled by incomplete election retnrns. "It Is pleasant to note that the city of Blathervllle Js endeavoring to contract with some Neiv York gentlemen to pave its well nigh Impassable streets with the Nicolson pavement. But it Is dllllcnlt to accomplish a desire like this since Memphis pot some New Yorkers to do a like service for her, and then declined to pay for It, However, the Daily Hurrah Htlll urges the measure with ability, and seems con-lldent of ultimate success. "We are pained to learn that Colonel Rascnm, chief editor of the Dyiiuj Shriek for Lioerty, fell In the street a few evenings since, and broke his leg. Jle has lately been sintering with debility, caused by overwork and anxiety on account of sickness in his family, and it is supposed that he fainted from the exertion of walking too much in the sun." I passed my manuscript over to the chief editor for acceptance, alteration, or destruction.

He glanced at it and his face clouded. He ran his eye down tho pages, and his countenance grew portentous. It was easy to see that something was wrong. Presently he Bprang up and said: "Thunder and lightning Do yon suppose I am going to speak of those cattle that way 'i Do you suppose my subscribers are going to ptand such gruel as that Give me the pen I never saw a pen scrape and scratch its Way so viciously, or plough through another Tnans verbs and adjectives so relentlessly. AVhile he was in the midst of his work somebody shot at him through the open window and marred the symmetry of his ear.

"Ah," said he, "that is that scoundrol Smith, of the Moral Vol' no; he was duo yesterday." And ho snatched a navy revolver from his belt and fired. Smith dropped, shot in the thigh. The shot spoiled Smith's aim, who was just taking a second chance, nnd ho crippled a stranger. It was me. Merely a finger shot off.

Then the chief editor went on w-ith his erasures and interlineation. Just as ho finished them a hand-grenado came down the Btove-pipe, and the explosion shivered the stove into a thousand fragments. However, it did no further damage, except that a vagrant piece knocked a couple of my teeth out. "That stove is utterly ruined," said tho chief editor. I said I believed it was.

"Well, no matter don't want it this kind of weather. I know tho man that did it. I'll get him. Now here is tho way this stuff ought to be written." I took tho manuscript. It was scarred th erasures and interlineations till its mother wouldn't have known it, if it had had one.

It now read as follows: "SI'IRIT OF THE TENNNKSEE TOE53. 'The Inveterate liars of the Scmi-Weekhj Earthquake are evidently endeavoring to palm oil' upon a noble and chivalrous people another of their vile and brutal falsehoods with regard to that most glorious oeneeptiou of the nineteenth century, the lial-lyhack Railroad. The idea that liu.zarilv'llle was to lie left oif at one side originated in their own ful- Home brains or rather in the settlings which they regard as nruins. rury mm oeiier hwuiiow tins lie, and not stop to chew it, either, If they want to save their abandoned, reptile carcases the cowhidlng tliey no rich I deserve. "That ass lilossom, of the Hlgginsville Thumlrrlmlt ut IMue Cry of tieeiumn, is down hero again, bumming his board at the Van Kurt-n.

"We observe tnai ihe besotted blackguard of the Mud KnriiiKS Mnrnina Hmol is giving out, with his usual propensity for lying, that Van Werter is not elected. Tlie neaven-Dorn mission or journalism is to disseminate truth to eradicate error to educate, rellne, and elevate the tone of public murals ami manners, and make ail men more irentle. mora vir tuous. more charitable, and in all wavs better, and lioller, and happier and yet this black-hearted vil lain, this neii-spawnea miscreant, prostitutes his great onice persistently to the dissemination of falsehood, calumny, vituperation, ami degrading vulgarity. His paper is notoriously intit to take Into the people's homes, and ouirlit to be banished th gambling-hells and brothels where the mass of reek ing pouuuou which noes duty as Its editor, lives, iuuvcb, aiiu uun ma ijciuk.

"Uiainersvuie wants a Nicolson pavement-it wuniR a jiui nun a poor nouso more. Tlie Idea ol a pavement in a one-norse town with two glH-mllls iiiucKHiuiiu siiop in ami tnat mustard plaster or a newspaper, the Daily Hurrah I Bet ter borrow of Memphis, where the arric.ln in chn crawling insect, lJuckner, who edits the Hurrah, is l.raying about this business his customary loudmouthed Imbecility, and imagining that he is talking eense. Such foul, mephitlc scum as this verminous ilucKner are a uiHgraoe to Journalism. "That degraded ruitlau Hascom. of thn fihrieknr Ltberty, fell down and broke his leg yesterdaypity it wasu't his neck.

He says It was "debility caused by overwork and anxiety." It was debility caused by trying to lug six irallotia of fnrrv.rr,,i whisky around town when his hide la onlv lor four, anu anxiety wwui wnere no was going to bum another six. He falnteafrom the exertion or walking too much in the sun And well he miggt Bay that tout if ne woum wain rrntyit ne would get lust, as far and not nave to wik nun as mucn.

Mush-and-milk journalism civAfi me the fan-Lods. About this time a brick came through the -window with a splintering crash, and gave me ft considerable of a jolt in the middle of the tack.

I moved out of range I began to feel )u me wy. 'me cU)vj wuu; "That was Vlie Colonel, likely." I've been p-tnertinc him for two davd. Ue I will.be up now, right away. He was The in the door a moment Colicl" appaared afterwards, with a dragoon revolver in ml. He said: "Sir.

"I have an article on tho 'Encouraging Progress of Moral and lutolloctual Development in America' tio finish, but there is no Lurry. Uegin." lioth pistols rang but their fierce clamor at tho same instant.

Tho chief lout a lock of hair, and the Colonel's bullet ended its career in the Meshy part of my thigh. Tho Colonel's left shoulder was clipped a little. Thoy firod again. 15oth missed their men this time, but I got my share, a shot in the arm. At the third fire both gentlemen were wounded slightly; and I hud a knuckle chipped.

I then snid I believed I would go out and take a walk, as this was a private tuattor and I had a delicacy abont participating in it further. Hut both gentlemen begged me to koep my seat and assured me that I was not in tho way. I bod thought differently, up to this time. They then talked about the eloctions and the crops a while, and I fell to tieing up my wounds. But presently they opened fire again with animation, and every shot took effect; but it is propor to remark that five out of tho six fell to my share.

Tho sixth ono mortally wounded tho Colonel, who remarked, with fine humor, that ho would have to soy good morning now, as he had business up town. Ho then inquired the way to the undertaker's, and left. Tho chief turned to me and said: "I am expecting company to dinner, and shall have to get ready. It will be a favor to me if you will road proof and attend to the customers." I winced a little at the idea of attending to tho customers, but I was too bewildered by the fusillade that was still ringing in my ears to think of anything to Bay. He continued: "Jones will be here at Cowhide him.

Gillespie will call earlier, perhaps throw him out of the window. Ferguson will be along about 4 kill him. That is all for to-day, 1 believe. If you have any odd time, you may write a blistering article on tho police give the Chief Inspector rats. Tho cowhides aro under the table; weapons in the drawer ammunition there in the corner lint and bandages up there in the pigeon-holes.

In case of accident, go to Lancet, the surgeon, down stairs. He advertises we take it out in He was gone. I shuddered. At the end of the next three hours I had been through perils so awful that all peace of mind and all cheerfulness had gone from mo. Gillespie had called, and thrown me out of the window.

Jones arrived promptly, and when I got ready to do the cowhiding he took the job off my hands. In an encounter with a stranger, not in tho bill of fare, I had lost my scalp. Another stranger, by the name of Thompson, loft me a more wreck and ruin of chaotic rags. And at last, at bay in the corner, and beset by an infuriated mob of editors, blacklegs, politicians, and desperadoes, who raved and swore and nourished their weapons about myhead till tho air shimmered with glancing Hashes of steel, I was in tho act of resigning my berth on tho paper, when the chief arrived, and with him a rabble of charmed and enthusiastic friends. Thou ensued a scone of ribt and carnage such as no human pen, or steel one, either, could describe.

People were shot, probed, dismembered, blown up, thrown out of tho window. There was a brief tornado of murky blasphemy, with a confused and frantic war dance glimmering through it, and then all was over. In five minutes there was silence, and the gory chief and I sat alone and surveyed the sanguinary ruin that strewed the floor around us. He said: "You'll like this place when you get used to I said: "I'll have to net von to excuse me. I think mnvbe I mieht write to suit vou after a while, as soon as I had had some practice and learned the language I am confident I could, lint to speak the plain truth, that sort of energy of expression has its inconveniences, ana a man is liable to interruption.

You see that yourself. Vigorous writing is calculated to elevate the public, no doubt, but men i uo not liKe to attract so mucn attention as colls forth. I can't write with comfort when I am interrupted so much as I have boon to day. I like this berth well enougn, but 1 dont like to bo left hero to wait on tno customers. Tho experiences are novel, I grant you, and entertaining, too, after a fashion, but they are not judiciously distributed.

A gentleman shoots at you through the window and cripples mo; a bomb sneii comes uowu tne stove-pipo lor your gratification, and sends tho stove door dowu my throat; a friend drops in to swap compliments with you, and freckles mo with bullet holes till my skin won't hold my principles; you go to dinner, and Jones comes with his cowhide, Gillespie throws mo out of tho win dow, Thompson tears all my clothes off, and an entire stranger takes my scalp with tho easy freedom of an old acquaintance; and in less than five minutes all the blackguards in the country arrive in their war paint and proceed to scare the rest of mo to death with their tomahawks. Take it altogether, I never have had such a spirited time in all my life as have had to-day. JNo. I like you, and 1 like vour calm, unruffled way of explaining things to the customers, but you see I am not used to it. The Southern heart is too impul sive Southern hospitality is too lavish with tho Btrancer.

The paragraphs which 1 have written to-day, and into whose cold sentences your masterly hand nas lniuseci tne iervont spirit of Tennesseean journalism, will wake up another nest of hornets. All that mob of editors will come; and they will come hungry, too, and want somebody for breakfast. I decline to be present at these festivities. I came South for my health I will go back on the Bame errand, and suddenly, lennesseo journalism is too Btirring for mo."
