summer. 1t win d remembered by
some of our readers that twelve OF
fifteen years ago lhs subject was
mooted in several I the papers. j
our recollection is tot at fault. the
proposition was thk the new State
should embrace Al the territory
known as East tennessee, with a
portion Of North Western Carolina
and Western ViriDia, 10 be called
The State Of FrMlkland." Whefh-
er the plan is feaible, and swhether
the people in th{territory mention
ed would conseg TO a separation, is
doubtful, thougfBeveral strong argos
ments might befdduced 10 its favor.
The area emlaeed in the limits
mentioned wouh constitute a State
of ample BOUNDARIES, and embracing
greater facilities for manufacturing
and richer mheral resources than
any in the Uiion. With soil ca

and originally constructed sentences,

would probably desire. In fact, we

But certain persons ere forever deiu-

they have something Of vital inipor-

Press has duty in this regard, to

respondent Of the Nashville Patriot
speaks Of fbe place and its pros
poets as follows:
Tuliahoma is situated II miles
from Nashville and so miles from
Chattanooga; and is, according to the
statement Of engineers, the highest
point on the N. & G. r. r. To the in.
valid this place has many advantages,
such as pure air, and good water; the
town and country around has an m
limited supply Of good freestone wa
ter, as well as mineral; there is
"a pure stream of water running
through the town, which is formed
by two large springs one-half a mile
above the town; the water Of which
is quite cool enough 10 drink at this
place through the summer; the
nights are quite pleasant, and

We are within twenty minutes ride
by Railroad of Elk aud Duck rivers,
where the angler can WELD his
tackle to his hearts content. The
huntsman can here find turkies and
deer in abundance. Our town is
nov about seven years old, and has
a population of about 1900; there
are now some fifteen or twenty new
buildings being erected, among which
are two churches, a Baptist and Cum
berland Presbyterian; there is al
ready good Church owned by the
Methodists, and although our town
has had great deal Of opposition
to contend whit bids fair yet to sur

road from this point, known as the
Southwestern Road, designed to con-
meet with the great Central Ken
