Toca Lnprorem ents.-It affords us pleasure
TO note the continued growth and prosperity of
Loudon. There is no place in East Tennessee
that is improving so rapidly. It's delightful
to hear the busy sound of industry, and to
witness the increasing signs of enterprise and
public spiri', (which are growing with the growth
Of our town, and Strengthening with its strength.
George Welch & Co., are engaged in the G.
rection of buildings suitable for an Iron Rolling
MIL, to be worked by steam--the machinery for
which, was purchased at the North and has ar
rived. 1t alone will bring several families here.
z. C. Peet, is erecting building for the pur-
pose Of engaging in the manufacture of all
Kinds of Agricultural Implemonts-an enter
prise, by the way, that not only will conduce to
the growth of our town, but will be of incalcu-
liable benefit to an the surrounding country, as
lie intends to manufacture none other than from
the most improved patterns. Railroads will not
benefit farmers who do not produce a surplus
they increase the price of lands with proper
tionate increase Of taxes. This increase of the
price of land is only nominal to such farmers,
while the increase of tax is real; and in this par
lcular, Railroads are disadvantages to all
farmers who do not produce more than they
consume. In self defence, they must improve
Agriculture-to do this they must have improv-
ed Agricultural Implements. We recommend
Mr.. Poet to The favor Of all.
In addition to the above several other manu-
taturing enterprises are spoken of,which we hol
40 be able TO announce before great while.
In the way of family residences, quite an ac-
tive business has been doing. We numerate
the houses that are nearly completed, and in
course of construction, as follows:

Energy Of Cdaracter.-I love the energy

noble and dignifed in it. The man that posses
ses such trait of character must be respected,
when, this energy is employed in a good and

ted glory, and society mourn an irreparable loss.

The Senatorial Questionable term for
which the Hon. JOHN BELL was elected will
expire with the meeting of the Legislature, and
the question as to whether We viii again return
him or some other individual, is getting to be
extensively discussed. The Knoxville Regis
ter has already expressed preference for Maj.
HENRY-the Chattanooga Gazette is out in IA
vor Of Hon. JOHN BELL. We know that it will
be hard to decide between these two noble cham
pions Of Wing principles. Both deserve the
highest honors within the gift Of the people of
Tennessee. But only one can be elected Sena-
tor at this time. AS to who that one should be,
we would decidedly prefer the reelection Of
Hon. John Bell. He has attained position of
influence in the Senate, and is almost univer-
sally regarded as one of the most reliable and
prudent Statesmen in the Union. No man in
the country is more thoroughly versed in the
science Of Government.

Tie Union Gold Nines.-These mines are
situated in Union county, Georgia, about thir
ty miles, in nearly an Eastern direction, from
the Copper Mines of Polk county. They are
owned by company, who have just common
ced working them, and the result thus far indi-
Gates that they will prove immensely valuable.
The mines are on a small stream called Scum
Log tributary of Brass Town Creek, which
flows into the IIiwassee. There are three veins,
running North % degrees East. The Eastern is
abouttwenty feet from the centre or middle vein,
and the West about II feet. In running the
Northern direction these veins have the appear
ance of converging in short distance. We
have been shown several rich specimens from
the Union mines, and have but little doubt
when properly worked and tested, they will
prove equal to any of the quartz mines ofsCali-
fornia. We will give fuller deserifsson of
them at some future time-Athens Post

Dear Union and Amcricaa: -On the I'd inst
our business citizens obtained possession of the
gossipenkindling announcement, the marriage
of the worldrenowned LOLA MoxTEz At the
Mission Dolores, half past six o'clock, A. NJ,
July 2, 1853, by the Rev. Father FLAvEL FoN-
TAME, CURATE, Madame Marie Elise Rossanna
Dolores Lola Montez, Countess de Lanstfeld de
Head, Baroness of Rosentl.al, and CAainoil,-
esse of the Order of st. THERRsE, was married
to PATRICK PURDY HULL, Esq, editor of the
San Francisco Daily Wing. Lola was mag
ni6eently enrolled and appeared in an ecstacy of
delight, but wept profusely in making a rich
offering to the Virgin Mary. The dramatic per-
Torrance Il prophesy it will only prove melo-
dramatic marriage) was witnessed by Gov. Nc
Dougal and other prominent citizens. After
services, an epithalamium was sung; theu Lola
Hull tossed her ringlets, smiled her teeth and
took her departure. In returning to the city,
Lola performed feats of equestrianism that as
tonished profoundly her newly hedged, but not
yet initiated lord. This marriage should be
new epoch in Lola's life, but no one believes she
will abandon the luxurious; sensual philosophy
of Lpicurus, or forsake her favorite God, Bac-
chu5 or cease companionship with the sons OF
Mars. Lola is celebrated for many extraordi-
nary events, occurring out of the ordinary
course Of action. At Lolas first Concert In
Sacramento during her execution of the "Spl-
der Dance the .foOt-hght gentleman ~ in the
pit laughed outright immoderate!y be-
came offended-abused the giggling hombres,
and left the stage. Two hours after the con-
cert, party Of fifty blackguards gentlemen,
ordinarily caled) chicaree'd her at her hotel.
She appeared at window, bid them defiance,
made speech telling them they were all ras-
calls, thieves, &c. The editor of Tie CcHJ0rnt-
an offended her previously in a criticism, where
upon she addressed the following note to him.
The "affiair of honor" has not come off yet;
she allows him choice of three killing things,
viz: Poison! Ietticoats! :! PfStoIS!!! Now
mark her letter and read it, and pass your judg
ment upon poor Lola Hull. Here's the letter
copied verbatim.

The Climate of Countries.-Although Elin.
burgh, in Great Britain is situated ten degrees
further north than the city of n York. it has q
much warmer climate in winter, and theheat
and cold never attain 10 such extremes. The
climate of England is, to the majority Of our
people, mystery. The island is Situated be-
tween so ane $50 north latitude, and It has a
mlder climate than any we enjoy in the lati
tudes of 40 and 450. The British Isles are
situated in the path of warm ocean currents,
which flow across the Atlantic and beat upon
and circulate around them. The wild Orkney
Islands, which are situated in $50 5 min, have
warmer winters than we have in New York,
which is situated about TO further south. In
the city of Glasgow, the mean temperature in
the month of Janray is $50 and it has never
been below zero but twice in forty years and,
then only 80 for two days.
In INST, in the Shetland Isles, in latitude
co. min the mean temperature in january is
400. In many places of the United States rang
ing from New York to Maine, in lat 45o the
mean temperature is Go below zero. INST is
only one degree colder than Constantinople in
January, and no country in Errope, nor the
world, perhaps, enjoys the mldness of climate
peculiar to Great Britain ana Ireland This
must have wonderful effect upon the health
and organization of the people, The cause is,
as we have stated, generally attributed to the
currents Of the gulf stream; one philosopher,
however, attributes the genial warmth 10 moist
breezeS from Africa, which come over the At
lantic, crossing the equator. In Russia Moscow
is on the same line with Ednburg. vet its tenn
perature in winter is at least l3o lower. The
climate of England is moist and wet. : To for
eigners, accustomed to clear skies, it is disa-
greeable. The atmosphere is cloudy in summer,
and this is one reason why it is not so warm as
in other countries in the same northern latitude.
Were it not for the warm ocean currents and
the warm breezes, the coasts of England would
be ice-bound, and many of the plants which
now flourish there as cvergreens would be I'M
known.
On the northern coast of our continent-in
northern Oregon-the climate is much warmer
IN winter than in places on the same lines of
latitude in our Eastern States. 1t is believed
that currents from orient flow over the Pacific
ard wash the Oregon shores; as the gulf sire am
of the Atlantic does the British Isles. During
the past winter the thermometer ranged at II
degrees above zero, and the prairies were green
all the time, except when covered by OCCASION
al snow storms. The farmer is not compel
led, as in the Eastern States to depend FOR the
winter sustenance of his cattle on hay raised
the previous season; his cattle can Craze there
throughout the whole year, and wild flowers
may often be plucked in the months Of Janua-
ry and February.-Scientifc American.

would be real American, and beat the
Turks in pictureskness-and besides
look Roman like too. Give my respects
to Mr.. Marcy, and hint this Indian no.
ton to him. / am sure it would take
like wild-fre.
And, Gineral, you've got another real
whaler in your Cabinet, and that is
Gineral Gushing. 1t seems to me, if
that man lives, he's agoing to outstrip
General jackson. I had no idea there
was SO much grit in him till he made
that speech 'tother day at Newark, in
the Jarsies. Since I've read that
speech l feel ali over like an old Roman.
1t seems as if / can see our country
marching right up to the very tip-top of
the worlds mountain and kicking all
the nations of the earth down to the
bottom of the heap. That old Greek
that folks tell SO much about, never
poured out sich grist of oratory in all
his born days. can't help copying a
little piece of it out of the newspapers
into my dispatch. Here tits:
"There is destiny to a Republic
There is law of its existence as clear
ly and undeniably as there is law of
the existence of human being, that he
shall begin in youth, that he shall grow
in juveneseence, that he shall harden
into manhood, that in the plentitude of
his manful strength he shall overtop the
nations around him. Applause. +
We are now the men Of the modern
Rome. How was it with the old Rome.
She conquered. She went on annexing,
according to the law of her existence,
applause, and so long as she pro-
ceeded in the application of the law of
her existence, no earthly power could
Withstand her progress. Applause.
l say that was the destiny of ancient
Rome, and it is the destiny of modern
Rome. There can be no pause in our
progress, except the pause of decay;
when we cease to grow we shall begin
to perish; for upon us as republic is
impressed, not curse, Though it was
curse of him who thrust from his
door the thirsting Saviour on his way to
Calvary; it was his curse that ven
geance of God should pronounce over
him as the perpetual sentence of his sin
march, march; for him there
was no pause. l say, as on him was
pronounced the curse, on US has been
poured the benedictiOn, applause; for
us that same Divine voice has said,
March, march, march-onward, up
ward, so long as there remains a celes-
tial hight in the infinite regions of great
ness which it is possible for human
power to scale" Applause.
That speech came over cousin Sar-
gent Joel like streak of lightning
He went right to work and secured up
his old fire lock as bright as pewter
platter. And now from morning till
night, with his fire lock on his shoulder,
he marches aboutthe house and round the
barn in military step, saying to him
self as he goes, march, march, march;
we are the men of modern Rome!-I
March, march, march; annexation day
is close at hand; March, march,
march"
But, Gineral, l must be in a hurry,
and be off on my tower before the
countries is all annexed, for then my
commission of Minister Gineral won't
be of no use. So l subscribe myself in
haste, your faithful friend and we'll
wisher.

swim and his Servant.

Dean Swift, while on a journey, and
stopping at tavern, desired his servant,
John, (who, by the way, was as eccen-
trio as his master, to bring him. his
boots. John brought up the boots in
the same state as they were taken of
the previous evening.
"Why didn't you polish my boots?''
said Dean.
"There's no use in polishing them, +"
replied the man, 'for they would soon
be dirty again"
every true" said the Dean, and he
put on the boots. Immediately after
he went down to the landlady, and told
her on no account to give his servant
any breakfast. The Dean breakfasted
and then ordered the horses out. As
he was ready to start John ran to him in
a great hurry and said:
"Mr. Dean, l didn't get my breakfast
yet"
"ohl" replied the witty divine,
"there's no use in your breakfasting;
for you would soon be hungry again.
John, finding his theory thrown back
on himself, submitted to the privation
with the same stoicism as did his master
with his boots. On they rode, the
Dean in front reading his prayer book,
and the man behind at a respectable
distance, when they were met by a
gentleman, who, after eyeing Dean
very closely, accosted the servant thus:
''l say my man, you and your master
seem to be sober pair; may ask who
you are and where you are going?"
"We're going to Heaven" replied
John. "My masters praying and I'm
fasting"
The gentleman looked again in won
derment at the master and man, and
rode off!
