the counties of East Tennessee except three:
The number of slaves in these counties is l9l43-
In 1910 1855; consequently there has been an
increase thus far of ,2SS in the number efsaves.
Considering that East Tennessee is farming
aud grazing country this is rather remarkable

The reader can for himself calculate the ratio
of increase in the respective classes of popula--
ton in the several districts. The advance of the
whole population in the Trans-Aleghany region
is particularly striking; but the relative increase
of the slaves in the whole of Western Virginia is
also remarkable. The slow progress 81 the free
negro population confirms the view now ge neral
y known by Southern men to be rect, that
freedom is not beneficial to the African
when it is in contact with the white race.

"Mr. President, wish friends in the fore
part of the meeting would speak up, so that
friends setting in the back part OF the meet
ing can hear what's going on in the front part
of the meeting Ii is almost impossible for
friends in the back part of the meeting to
hear what is going forward in the front part
of the meeting. Friends in the back part of
the meeting feels as much interested as friends
in the front part of the meeting; and it is
highly necessary that friends in the fore part
of the meeting should speak up SO that
friends setting in the pack part of the meet
ing can hear what's going on in the front part
of the meeting. And therefore, | say that if
friends in the fore part of the meeting would
speak up so that we setting in the back part
of the meeting could hear what's going on in
the front part of the meeting it would be
vely satisfactory to the friends in the back
part of the meeting"

Railroad Progress.

The present fine weather is favorable fol
operations on the line of road now under
contract, and we learn that The contractors
are pushing the work ahead with commenda-
bic vigilance. 1t may not be generally
known, even to all the readers of our papers,
that there is, in these papers, a notice to con-
tractors for bids upon all the remaining por-
tion of the road from this place to jackson.
But such is the fact, and we regard the
movement as q very wise one on other ac-
counts than that Of having the road ready for
use in the shortest time. We believe that
all those railroads which are completed with.
In two years will have greatly the advantage
OF those which at that time are but half 6n-
ished, aside from the mere revenue to be de.
rived from them. It is therefore important
to push ahead. And besides. funds can be
raised better nov than hereafter, and the Ion
ger the work is delayed the longer must in
terest belpaid upon uhproductive capital.
