PROSPECTS, OF
THE L0UDON FREE PRESS,
For 1853

Having assumed the onorous 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
not 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 antagoristic array, are drawing
together in friendship and in purpose, to mingle
united effort and united wisdom to advance the
interests and the ty7te glory Of the land. We
look 10 the promotion of the interests of gricul-
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
industrial progress-of enriching our fields, of
beautifying our homes-of starting up the busy
hum of industry and enterprise.
4. As TO the merits of the FREE PREss it is for
the public to judge-we can only claim that we
have earnestly endeavored to publish a paper
worthy Of public Patronage. Itis filed "fSs.
readable matter---containing the latest Foreign
and Domestic News-full and impartial quota
tions of the Produce Markets of Loudon, Au-
Custa, 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 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,
accoupanv the names, as follows

Wholesale Destruction Of Letters.-On We'd
nesday last seven hundred bushels, or about one
million of dead letters were destroyed, in accor.
dance with the usage of the Post Office Depart
ment. They'were carted to Monument Square,
and spread over line of two or three hundred
feet, when the match was applied. The entire
mass of combustible material was soon in a
blaze, and several hours elapsed before the con-
flagration was completed; the official atten-
dants meanwhile raking the burning fragments
to facilitate operations The atmosphere for
thousands Of feet around was filled with charred
fragments. A large number of persons wit
messed the proceedings with much interest

A THOUGHT.

1'-1-0O O'4zA I LII d
The flower springs by the fountain side
And blooms its little day;
Speeehless it lives the life it has,
And silent fades away.
O, | would not be Ike the flower,
To perish in the mould,
And leave no record of my heart;
No fond affection told
Let beauty be to others given,
And beautiful array
To those who like the flower, are but
Ambitious to be gay;
l only ask the pen, the tongue,
That can the heart unfold,
That the deep beauty Of the soul
Be not upsang, untold

Too Much EDUCATI0y.-For my part | can't
conceive what on airth eddication is a comm
to. When was young, if a gal only under
stood the rules of distraction, provision, pulti-
plying, replenishng, and the common denomi-
nator, and knew all about the rivers and their
obituaries, the corvents and dormitOries, the
provinces and the umpires, they had addication
enough. But now they have to study botany,
algiebv, and have to demonstrate supposi-
tions about sycophants and cireusses, tangents
and dingones of parrallegrams to say nothing
about the oxhides, cowstieks, and abstruse
trianglos' And the old lady was so confused
with technical names that she was forced to
stop.

Story Of AacieAt Tmes.-Brantome, a re-
spectacle French author, relates, that in the
reign Of Francis /, young lady, who had a We
ry talkative loter, laid her commands upon him
to observe an absolute silence for an unlimited
time. The lover obeyed the order for two years
during which space it was thought that, by some
accident or other, he had lost the use of his
speech. He happened one day to be at an as
sembly where he met his mistress, who was not
known as such, love being conducted in those
ent. The l@f; boosted She would cure him in
stantly, and did it with single word-Speat.
What more could the Pythagorean philosophy
have done With all its parade and boastng? Is
there lady now that could depend upon so ex-
act an obedience even for a single day? But
the times ~ chivalry, in particular, afforded ex
ampes, ALMOST incredible, of an attachment
carried cyan to alteration, which the knights
and other military heroes of those ages CON
stantly evirced for their mistresses, to whom
indeed che, were, in the literal sense of their
amorous professions, the devoted Sldres.

WILD MAN OF THE WoOps AGAIY.-A few
weeks since we published full account of the
capture OF q wild man that had been found in a
cave near the Muscle Shoals in this county. We
gave the name of the unfortunate individual as
Goring. Our article was published in nearly
every paper IN the Union, and of course, it at
tracted the attention of Mr.. Goring, the father
OF the pocs eutcast, who resides in Knox coun-
ty, East Tennessee. The old man read the ar
tieie with pam and modification, for he felt sure
from the description that it was really his son,
who had Seen absent for nearly seven years
and when last heard from was in this vicinity
where he WIS caught. From the description, as
well as from information received through a let
ter from oiE townsman, Mr.. j. j. Craig, the old
man was satISied that il was his son and atho'
poof teehk, and bent beneath the weight of
sixty ysaE-S Be sat out for the purpose Of find
ing 1sEs's 8 f possible l,issleluded s1e
He arrived " Florence on Wednesday morn
ing last, nearly exhausted from fatigue and ex-
cltement. We were present when the old man
was told of the finding and capture Of his son
and the recital caused him to weep like
child. We voluntarily offered him our aid, and
in company with the old man Goring, w. H..
Hays, and A. P. Neely, we set out for Balm
bridge at the foot of Muscle Shoals where Young
Goring was stationed. On arriving the old
man fastened towhere his son was Standing
He offered him his hand and asked him if he
knew him. The son gazed at him and answer
ed, he did, and called him father, while the old
man again weH as if his heart would break
They then hada long private conversation, and
after some persuasion the poor unfortunate man
agreed to return home with his father We
came to town IN company with the father and
son, and the yanng man gave very interesting
history of his life and the cause which induced
him to withdraw from the world and seek the
seclusion of the woods. He said that those he
worked for would not pay him, and the world
generally had treated him badly, and being nat
urally melancholy and retiring had concluded
to shut himselfout from the world. He regret
ted his conduct and said he would have come
in long before he was caught but was ashamed
of the tattered garments he was clad in He
says his mind was never impaired, but he al
ways stunned society, and had an involuntary
shrinking at the approach of man, and this fee
ling had grown on him during his wild adven-
lures in the woods. In company with his father
he left for home yesterday morning, and we
trust he will sbon see his aged mother, and 9TH
er relations who are now anxiously looking for
his coming Florence (Ala.) Gazette, AprH 9.
