the spirit Of improvement was at work in our
ncighboring town Of Cleveland. Several
new buildings have been erected since our
former visit, and there is evidently determi'
nation among the citizens to use all proper
efforts to increase md add to the heavy
amount of business which the place already
enjoys. A few enterprising men in commu.
nity can effect a great deal, and Cleveland
has somo of that character. The building Of
the Cleveland and Chattanooga Railroad, the
line fur which is now being surveyed under
the direction Of Col. Pritchard, the Engineer
Of the East Tennessee and Georgia Road,
and the construction Of the road to the Cop.
per Mines, the stock for which We UNDER
stand 10 being rapidly taken up, will add
greatly to the business Of Cleveland and give
an impetus to trade and industry that will
ensure its future prosperity. We are graft
fled at the prospect which is opening before
IL. Our paper from its commencement has
been generously supported by the people Of
Bradley county; and although they have now
two presses of theirsown whchitis their du-
ty to nourish and sustain, and not suffer
them to starve out and die for want Of pat
ronage, We shall not forget their kindness to
us and the favor with which our unpretend-
ing sheet has been received among them; and
we shall always hold oursclf ready to unite
and co operate with the presses in their midst
in any legitimate efforts to promote and en-.
large the prosperity of the town and county.

might par,ake with us in such delightful feelings
as are induced by prosperous condition. Our
mines are yielding prettier gold and more OF IT,
than any of the same extent in Califorula and
it is the opinion of many that they are not tho
roughly prospected yet. In fact, we are hndins

vegetation to spring up with vigor I'M
known in any other land. Come and we Will
show it 10 you. We will show yon our monn
ans clothed in dress rich as the lilies OF the
field, and our gardens teeming with all OF the
summer delicacies. We will give you your
" nps,'' and make your heart glad unto the dry
ing up of tears of sorrow. We will show you
things that have lain hidden since the good old
days of Solomon, even to the driving of trout III
our mountain brooks and but lately recovered
from oblivion by party Of gentlemen OF science
and learning, who visited this place not long
since for the purpose of rusticating in our shady
vallies, where they could alone find that retire
ment and repose SO needful TO the oyerwrought
soul.
You can come on the new wagon road to
Weaverrllle, and most any road from there will
carry you here. But don't stop in Weayervlle.
or you will be in bad fix for coming any far
ther; have tried it, and know their hospitality
To be of such genuine. jovial old sort, that man
cannot break with it. unless he break his heart
and in justification Of which, they are coninu-

Our Humboldt Bay trail is now open for the
season, and receiving supplies from
that source. But this new wagon road will un-
doubtedly turn some OF our trade 10 your place
and Weavervile which you cannot now look
for-the cost for receiving goods ria Humboldt
being fraction less.
