Hard Ndmes-The subjoined article, from
the Albany Journal, gives directions for the
photography and pronunciation of some of the
hard Russian, Hungarian and Turkish names,
that are now so current among US, and the arti
culation of which is so puzzling to Anglo Saxon
tongues. We believe they are in the main cor
rect, though, of course, such directions must, in
many cases, give only an approximation to the
true sounds of the foreign letters
Some of the Eastern names that abound Just
now in the foreign news, are subject to all man
ner of spelling, cccasiOning an equal diversity
of pronunciation Here is the correct orthogra-
ply and pronunciation of q few of the the most

THE aToUDON FREE PRESS"
For 1853.

Having assumed the onerous and responsible
duties Of public journalists, we feel the just de-
sire TO increase the circulation of our paper,
as it will not only increase our capabilities Of
doing good, but at the same time give us rea-
sonable remuneration for our labors. To ac-
complish this desirable end, we have determin-
ed to send out this Prospectus with request
that all who feel an interest in the increased
circulation of our paper will send us the largest
number of subscribers they possibly can. Yet,
we cannot make this request without rendering
appropriate Acknowledgements to several friends
whose exertionS in procuring us subscribers have
mot been unnoticed by US.
We deem it unnecessary to occupy lengthy
exposition of the leading features of the FREE
PRESS. Its political complexion is uncompro-
misingly WHIG-but we are truly glad that the
evil times of unrelenting political warfare has
for time at least ceased. and those so long and
so recently in antagonistic array, are drawing
together in friendship and in purpose, to mingle
united effort and united wisdom to advance the
Interests and the true glory cf the land. We
look to the promotion of the interests Of Agricul-
ture. of Manufactures and of Commerce. as
being by far more important to the improve
ment of the country, than any political issue
upon which the American people are extensively
divided. These great interests shall have our
warmest support. Our leading aim shall be to
arouse public sentiment to the Importance of
iedustrial progress--of enriching cur fields, of
beautifying our homes-of starting up the busy
hum of industry and enterprise.
AS to the merits of the FREE Press it is for
the public to iudge-we can only claim that we
have earnestly endeavored to publish paper
worthy of public patronage. 1t is filed with
readable matter---containing the latest Foreign
and Domestic NewS.-full and impartial quota
tions of the Produce Markets Of Loudon, Au-
gusta, Savannah, Macon, Charleston, and Nash
vile, with occasional quotations from other i'm
portant points---together with the prices and
number of Hogs sold in Cincinnati each week
during Packing season--also the prices of Pork
at numerous other points, so as to give our Ira
ders n broad and correct basis of judgement in
regard to this important article Of trade. In
a word, our paper is for the business men Of
East Tennessee.
We are anxious to increase our circulation,
and have determined to offer the FREE Press
at greatly reduced prices to Clubs-money to
accompany the names, as follows

The Spirit Of tie Religious Press-While
the secular press is daily growing more liberal
and courteous, the religious press appears to be
running on the opposite track. The New York
Express, which copies over a column of ex-
tracts, for the purpose Of showing the spirit of
the religious press, says:
"They seem to be Intimately more desirous of
disparaging, every one his neighbOr, than of
uniting to advance the common cause of Chris
tianity, which all of them profess to serve.
Come, come, gentlemenl drop your fine drawn
distinctions about what is Evangelical and
what is not-what is Catholic, or Roman,
Orthodox or not 'OrthodOx'-and help US of
the day press to do some ofthe real, practical
good among our fellow men, which the Redeem
er himself would engage in-were no among
you. The city is full of heathen! The jails
are full of murderers and thievesl We have
still plenty of give Points among u.s. Each
and all of them inviting you to a more except
able work than that of uncovering one another's
faults, and calling one another names.-That
may be good enough sectarianism, but not
Christianity

/ A Hundred Fears Hence-A writer in an En-
gli5h publication, in speculating upon the con-
dition of the world a hundred years hence,
says: "There are in the world, in this year, not
| less than sixty million of Anglo-Saxons. Now,
as they are doubled in number in half of a
century, in 1852, they will swelled up to the
enormous amount of two hundred and forty
milIionsl Two hundred aud forty millions of
human beings, all speaking one language, bor-
rowing Inspiration from one liteature, contribu-
ting equally to the store-house of science, ami
mated by kindred sentiments worshpping at the
same shrine, and all and each of them indefa-
tigably contributing to the ful6lment of the mis-
sion specially given to the race, to renovate,
consolidate, enlighten, strengthen, and Chris
tianise the sons and daughters of Adam, so
that, in the appointed time they would be indeed
the sons and daughters of the bright and heav-
enly morningl What prodigious family
The mind stagers under the bare conception of
its coming incidents, in their sober entirety
Ipon a moderate computation, one hundred
~ tiity millions Of this population viii be lo-
Gated on the continent or@America. x vast
proportion of it will be a maritime population
situated on the shores of the Pacific, where
Liverpool and New York will send out their,
ships to trade with the islands of the Pacific
ocean, WIFI AuSIrdlld anu New Lealdnu, anu
further westward, with Japan, China, Burmah,
India, and even Persia, although it may then
be Russian province. From the promises of
future which have already peered over the
horizon, it is quite manifest that the Anglo
Saxons in America and our present Austria
liam group of colonies, will be lords of the
seas in the southern world. In the physical
regions created and controlled by man, there
will undoubtly be many stupendous revolutions.
In travelling, whether on land or water, the
people of the day Will call us slow, as we call
those who lived century ago slow. The voy-
age to New York will probably be effected in
two days; to India or Australia in eleven:
which would be Just at the rate of about sixty
miles on hour-the present speed attainabs
on railway"

The National Hteuigencer of Tuesday last,
in demonstrating the constitutional power of
Congress to execute works of Internal Improve
ment and especially the Improvement of Riv,
ers and Harbors," closes its remarks as fol-
lows:-
''The Internal Trade of the country is a
source of vast public and private wealth, almost
surprising belief 1t now amounts, Lake Trade
and Western River Trade, to about fire ham
dred millions year, and nearly eleven mil
iions of our people are directly interested in
its prosperity. As national matter it rs not
iess important, for It directly or indirectly affects
the interest of every city of the seaboard, and,
it may be said, every citizen of our country,
We desire that its management should be left
IN the hands in which the Constitution has
placed it, which have heretofore managed it
and which have managed it so well"

DegeAerati0R.-In the muster which was
made this year iu Berlin, Prussia, as every year;
of the youths of 10 years of age, bound to serve
their appointed time in the ranks, out of LII
young men liable, only 723 were found capable
or fit for service. This is not confined to the
capital the military authorities show that it is
still worse in the provinces. In Halle, out of
SIS who submitted themselves this month as
being of the..requiste age, only 427 are eligible.
This is attributed, to their having been born in
the cholera year, 1928 and to many having
been deprived of all parenal care from their ear
iest youth. The same result has lately been
noticed at Stockholm, of their being an sufi-
cient number of recruits to be obtained arising
from the impoverished physique of the present
generation

Facts for Southern Hen to think of-The

A Hundred Miles an HOw.-The Scientific
American has an engraving of the Rail Road
which is to run hundred in an hour with per-
feet safety. Its distinctive principle is that the
cars run on a single track for the train to be
hung upon it. The train is, in fact, placed a
stradde of the rail, running on wheels, to
whose axles the cars are hung. 1t is obvious
that, with the rail running, as it were, through
the car, the latter could not be thrown off the
track by any amount of speed, and no obstruc-
ton of Sufficient magnitude to do mischief
could be made TO lay upon single rail raised.

Early History Of Alatama.-We copy the
following bit of State history from an article,
which appeared yesterday in the editorial col
ums of the Mobile Register.
"The first settlements in Alabama, by the
present race of inhabitants, were not made i'll
The Tennessee Valley. During the American
Revolution. large numbers of emigrants from
South Caroliua and Georgia, found their way
to the region of country about the junction OF
the Tombeckbee and Alabama rivers, in what
is now Clarke, Washington and Baldwin coun-
ties Here the first infant settlements of the
subsequently fourshing State of Alabama were
established. I'VE of course, leave out of this
view, the French and Spanish occupations i'll
and about Mobile, which were long antecedents
Idescendants? of those first american settlers
still reside in the homes which their forefathers
hewed out i'll the neutral territory" between
the dominions of the Creeks and Choctaws
here, as early as l000 the county of flashing
ton, including all''the Tensaw and Tombeckbee
settlements was laid out, and the inhabitants
were computed at FIVE hundred whites and
two hundred and fifty blacks, thinly scattered
along the Western banks of the Mobile and
Tombeckbee, for more than seventy miles
and extending eastwardly for twenty-five miles
on the Alabama"(See american State Papers
" vol. 8, p. 956.)
The settlements in the Tennessee Valley
were not begun until afterJuly, 1905, when the
Chickasaws and Cherokees, by treaties, ceded
their claims to the lands in the Great Bend
of the Tennessee" About that time, an adven-
torous pioneer from Tennessee, named Hunt
penetrated the region, and pitched his cabin by
the "Big Spring." around which the fonrishing
and beautiful town bearing his name now
stands He was the first settler in that now
populous region. Emegrants poured in rap
idly, and in December, 1903, Gov. Williams,
ofthe Mississippi Territory, laid off Madison coun-
ty, reciting that there were then Several thou
sand inhabitants within the limits commonly
called the Great Bend.n

The following anecdote is told by the Chica-
go Journal of Gov. Reynolds, whom they call
"Old Ranger in Illinois, when for the first time
in his life he visited the seaboard as represen-
tative to Congress from the back settlements.
"Upon reaching Baltimore, the Governor
rose early in the morning and paid visit to
the shipping at the docks. when the tide was
full, and again at noon, when it was at ebb; and
not satisfied with the sudden change that had
taken place, again in the evening, when the
tide was in. Heretofore he had resolved to
keep everything to himself, and go in pursuit
of knowledge under difficulties on his own
hook: but now his astonishment broke over his
bounds, and as he returned to the hotel, the
old Ranger remarked that this was the curl
ousest country he ever seed in his hfe-t'oo
.fieshets IN one day, and nary drop Of raIH!'

BY YOUNG IRISH LADY.
We're but his own wife to guard and to guide him,
'Tis little of sorrow shouldfall on my dear
I'd chant my low love-verses, stealing beside him,
So faint and tender his heart would but hear;
I'd puii the wild blossom from valley and highland,
And there at his feet would lay them all down
I'd sing him the songs Of our poor stricken island,
Till his heart was on fire with love like my own.
There's rose by his dwelling-Pd tend the lone
treasure,
That he mighthave flowers when the summer would
There's harp in his hall-Tdwake its sweet measure
For he must have music to brighten his home;
Were but his wife to guard and to guide him,
'Tis little of sorrow would fall to my dear,
For every kind glance my whole life should reward
Him
In sickness I'd soOthe and in sadness I'd cheer
Ny heart is fount yelling upward forever,
When think of my true love by night or by day,
That heart keeps its faith like fast Having liver,
Which gushes forever and sings on its wayJ
I've thoughts full of peace for his soul to repose in
Were L but his wife to win and to woo;
Oh, sweet, if the night of misfortune were closing
To rise, like the morning star, darling, on you.

What IS a Letter.-Thisquestion is answered
by poet, thus happily:
What is letter? Let affection tell dwell:
A tongue that speaks for those who absent
A silent language uttered to the eye,
Which envious distance would in vain deny;
A link to bind where circumstances part,
A nerve of feelin' stretched from heart to heart
Formed to convey, like an electric chain,
The mystic fash--the lightning ofthe brain
And thrill at once, though its remotest link,
The throb ofpassion, by drop ofink.

tions of debts due the Bank for payment for the

see Banks generally Dyes Detector, Nov"
The is undoubtedly some news in the above,
both for the banks and the people of Tennessee.
As for ourselves we have heard of no new is
sues of the f. & NJ. Bank, and our business ex-
perience has taught US that its bills are no go,
neither with the banks nor the people. We
rather suspect that Mr.. Dye has been bamboo
zled, or else he is endeavoring to palm off a
fraud upon the country, by which many inno-
cent persons might be wronged and deceived
As stated by us some days since, the bank is re-
deeming certain class of its paper, but it is at
the same time pleading the statute limitations
on another class, so that the advantage to the
great mass of the bill holders is just nothing at
all.
We would advise Mr., Dye, if he desires TO
gain the credence of the country, to be little
more circumspect and exact as to his informa-
tion.- Memphis Appeal, Nov II.
