Now AND THEN.-From letter just writ

States Navy, we clip the following:
When was first appointed to the naval
service, came in from Tennessee on horse
back to join the Brandywine, then fitting out
at Washington to convey General Lafayette
TO France. | came via Knoxville and Abing-
don, and so on.
In those days Knoxville was supplied with
groceries from Nashville and with dry goods
from Baltimore, and the waY was literally
thronged with road wagons fetching and car
rying merchandise. Many of you, gentlemen,
recOllect, have no doubt, the caterpillar gait
OF those road wagons, with their blue bodies
and white tops=lheir six horse teams with
juggling bells and bearskin hames.
The most they had to carry down was just
such articles rs Jacob sent down by his sons
10 Bgypt-spices and little honey, beeswax,
ginseng, feathers and dried fruits. These.
with empty wagons, constituted the outward
cargos for the people in thuse days had to put
their grain on the hoof to get il 10 market.
Now the Railroads have changed the indus
trial pursuits OF the people in that region of
country; the road wagons, with their twenty
miles day, have disappeared. Tobacco and
corn are taking the place Of herds aid cattle,
aud minerals of great value are mined from
the hills; salt and iron, clipper and coal and
plaster and silver are ati1ohg The sources of
wealth in that formerly secluded region of
country.
