We have seen specimen of a superior ar
tcc of printing paper said to be Madden tirc-
ly of cane poles, which invention, if all we
hear is realized, will work great revolution
in the printing business. The paper is su
perior to that made of rags, and at one ihrd
less cost. The steamer Charleston which
passed here short time since had On board
about twenty-five tons of cane poles, destined
for Wheeling, where they are 10 be manuiac
tured into paper. Mr.. b. a. Lavender, Of
Baltimore, who is interested in the project,
has made contracts at the South for large
quantities Of cane poles.

SGREssIoSAL.--Col. Josiah NJ. Ander-
son, of Marion county. is announced in to-
days paper as n candidate for Congress from
this District Col. Anderson was elected to
Congress in lS49, from what was then the
third district, and served faithfully for two
years, aboring with zeal and fidelity 10 pro-
mote the interests of his constituents. In
1851 he was again n candidate in obedience
to the expressed wishes of a large portion
of the District, but was defeated by the de-
lection in Knox county-a detection rs dis
graceful as unexpected. lie is before the
people again as a candidate for Congress
not as the nominee Of Convention or n
party, but Mt the earnest solicitation Of
friends in different counties of the district
ready and willing to submit to any course of
action the majority may deem best calculated
to promote harmony and secure success
We know Col. Anderson well, and we are
satisfied he would take no step which he did
not believe would meet the cordial approba-
tlOn OF lne luBcSb HulnUeT Vi tilooS WIN
whom it always has been, and still is, his
pride and pleasure to act. Not only so,
but that he would not be 4 candidate for mo-
ment if he thought such step would pro-
duce the slightest discord or dissatisfaction
in the district. Other names have occasion
ally been mentioned in connection with tie
race, and we have heard it said that
Col. Heiskell, of Monroe county, would be
candidate. We are not appraised, however,
that the Col. INDUCES any such intention at
this time-if he did he would probably have
been heard from on the subject ere this. In
any event, there will, there can, arise no diff
Guilty or clashing of preferences, as all tae
gentlemen whose names have been alluded
to in connection with the candidacy for Con.
gress in this district, will cheerfully submit
to any honorable arrangement that may be
proposed, should a necessity occur-and none
more readily than Col. Anderson, the only
one who has as yet been formally announced
for the race.

VIM, G, Horror, } Secretaries,
WILLIS Lowry, ~

We must be permitted to call the at
tention of the citizens of Athens and the
surrounding country, to the importance OF
securing the object to promote which the
meeting of Mondg was called Here is an
enterprise the success Of which will do more
to build up the prosperity of Athens-to in.
crease its limits, enlarge its business and
promote the interests of the people Of the
whole county, than any which has ever pre-
scented Itself. II is not an enterprise con-
ceived in doubt and its termination wrapped
in uncertainty-but its construction and in
tersection with the East Tennessee and Ga.
Railroad, is n fixed fact-a reality about
which there eau be no mistake The road
will be built and must intersect with the East
Tennessee and Georgia line. The only ques-
ton, then, for the people of Athens and the
adjacent country, is whether they will avail
themselves of the opportunity now offered
to secure an enlarged and permanent pros
perity, or will they let the opportunity pass
unheeded, and permit the intersection to be
made at some other point and an interest to
be built up in our neighborhood which will
draw away from us what trade we now enjoy,
depopulate our streets, and render town
property valucless. The question for us is,
will we stretch forth our hands and secure
the prize tendered-or shall we fold our
arms and let Others snatch it away! 1t is
sometimes thrown in our teeth, tauntngly,
that Athens is finished If we permit the
present opportunity to pass unimproved, we
are afraid but few years will elapse before
we will all be brought to acknowledge that
there is more truth than wit in the taunt.-
The amount necessary to be subscribed for
stock to secure the point of intersection at
this place is so comparatively small, and it is
so manifestly the interest of all, that it docs
seem there should be no difficulty about
raising it, and raising it at once. Forty thou
sand dollars Of Stock is all that is necessary
to be obtained in McNlnn county. One half
the amount is already subscribed. Shall Me-
MINI county hesitate moment about taking
the balance, when all her interests are so vi.
tally concerned! Will the people of the
town and of the country suffer the rich prize
to escape them, rather than invest few dol.
lars which in three or four years must return
fourfold! If the amount required IS secured
the work will be commenced some time dur
ing the present summer, and commenced at
the point of intersection. Will our people
come up to the mark-wil they aid in this
most desirable object! Will they act, and
act at once! What we do must be done i'm.
medatcly. The Engineers are in the neigh.
borhood ready 20 make survey and locate
the line. To secure the prize the stock must
be taken by the first OF May. Nows the
time for action, o,day-to-morrow will be
too late

ETA Washington letter says 1t is said

that George Law demonstration ia to be
made by the Know Nothings in this city.
Law has a set of hackers that will break
him down--or rather let him fall-as soon
as he ceases to ensure drafts. The political
spectators in Know Nothingism, will make
more out of Commodore Stockton, is a
Presidential candidate, than George Law
The first men which they may bring out
prominently as candidates will be run down
and forgotten before the election in Novem'
ber 1856. The party itself may not be able
to hold together so long, and may before
that time, be resolved into its original poitl.
cal elements. There are already some udi-
cations that the Wings us well MS the Demo-
Gratis, who are in it, will return to their old
banners.
The same writer adds in regard TO the
canvass in Virginia:
The Democrats who were supposed to be
hostile to Mr.. Wise's election, arc coming
out for him, and am much inclined to think
that he will beat his Know Nothing compel
tor, Mr.. Flournoy. The Wing party of Vir
ginia will, however, rally very strongly against
Wise, though this will not show DISPOSE
ton, on their part, to unite with the Know
Nothings upon their candidate, whoever he
may be, for the Presidency.

razeeing of Sebastopol being a preliminary

parture for the Crimea until the result
Of the Vienna Conference was ascertain
ed.
SPAN.-The celebrated Don Carlos died on
the 10th ult.
ITATY.-lt is reported that serious reyo-
lutionary movement, headed by MazziB, had
been discovered in Rome. Both the French
and Austrian roops were held in readiness to
suppress it.
WAR NEws.-The French rockets had set
| fire to SebastOpol in several places. The dis
grace of Menschkoff is confirmed. Russia

ed instructions to Vienna that the death of

sB Inc tlrcut Court has been IN ses-
sion here during the present week, his Honor
Judge Cant presiding. The only suits Of
importance we have heard of that were
up for settlement, and involving nice and in
tricate points of law, were the ",cood.pile"
cases. We believe they were all disposed of
some one way and some another. We
are pleased to see the laws being so rigidly
enforced, particularly against "woodpies,"
ms they are great nuisauees, specially in cold
weather We had intended to report the ar.
gument Of counsel on both sides, as well rs
some of the points calculated, but must de-
fer il until the intense excitement subsidies,
and the public mind is in condition to calm
ly judge of the merits, pro and con. In the
mean time, II is proper we should remark.
that the question has called upa new element
to enter largely into the canvass of the pres
ent summer and 10 exercise tremendous in.
llucnce in determining lis results. Candidates
will, therefore, be cautious until they hear
from us again.
