E. TENNESSEE COAL.

On our desk may be found specimen of
coal from East Tennessee. We are indebted
for it to Mr.. w. NJ WILSON, mail agent on the
s. c. Rail Road, to whom it was furnished,
with the label"Taken from within twenty miles
of Loudon." 1t is well known that there are
"more ofthe same Sort" and not few, in that
section, with which we hope to become better
acquainted through the Blue Ridge Rail Road.
Charleston Courier.
EG- We clip the above from the Charleston
Courier, of the 24th. We do not know from
what particular point it was taken from, but
from the distance named, it must be from the
extensive coal beds at Waters Gap-the point
which we have heretofore named as being Sc
favorable for the construction of the E. Tennes
see & Kentucky Railroad.

THE STARS.
BY BYRON.

fe starsl which are the poetry of Heaven.
If IN your bright leaves we would read the fate
OF man and empires-'tis to be forgiven,
That in our aspirations to be great,
Our destines o'orleep their mortal state,
And claim kindred with you; for We are
A beauty and a mystery, and create
In us such love and reverence from afar,
That fortune, fame, power, life, have named
themselves star.
A SMILE.
See how beneath the beams smile;
YOn little billow heavens its breast
And foams and sparkles for a while,
And, murmuring, then subsidies to rest
Thus man, the sport of bliss and care,
Rises on Times eventful sea;
And having swelPd moment there,
Thus melts into Eternity

the battle speedily became general, $4,000 Rus

She now walks briskly thrugh the street

Was once so feeble, pale and wan,

What could it be that gave her health?
She heard my voice, and turning, said:
"What was it saved me from the dead
Brought back my health, once remote?

A Prophecy and its Ful6lnens.

The celebrated Dr. Samuel Johnson wrote
a pamphlet in ITO, entitled Taxation no
Tyranny, " in defense of the British minis
try for taxing the American colonies. II
contained passage referring to DR.. Frank
Inns view of the progressive increase of our
population, and remarking that at this rate.
the Americans would, after few years, fill
their own regions, and pass the boundaries
of their own hemisphere. At this prospect
the Doctor says: /" Let the Princes OF the
earth tremble." The view then taken is in a
rapid course of development. In the year
1918, without calculating upon the addition
by foreign emigration, the number of the
people of the United States, at its present
rate Of progress, will be one hundred and
seventy SIR millions! many who are now nv
ing, will be the witnesses of this astounding
fact, as the time is only sixty-six years dis
tant. Should the national virtue remain un-
impaired, the United States will control the
destines Of the world.
