POWELL. CoUNTY.-An Act was passed by
our last Legislature creating the county of
Powell from fractions of Greene, Washing
ton, Sullivan and Hawkins counties. An
election was held on the 9TH inst, in the diff
ferent fractions, and by an almost unanimous
vote they went in favor of the new county.
The Bristol News understands that the cleo
ton OF county officers will take place on the
10th, and that the county seat will also be
located on the same day.

ATHENS, FRIDAY. JUNE 4. 1858.

TnRouGH MAILs.--The contract for carrying
the through mails between New York and
New Orleans has been awarded to the Great
Central Route, as we learn from the follow
ing paragraph from the New York Herald OF
the 9th ult.:
The Postmaster General has given an order
90 convey the great Southern mail, leaving
New York in the morning, over the central
route, diverging from the seaboard route at
Richmond, thence via the Virginia and Ten
nessee road through Knoxville and Dalton,
Georgia, to the grand junction, fifty miles
East of Memphis, and thence via Jackson to
New Orleans. This service commences about
the LIST Of July, and continues to the a0th Of
June, 1859. The time from New York to
New Orleans is to be four days and seventeen
hours the compensation $500 per mile, and
the distance 1885 miles. After the LIST of
July, 1859, both the great Southern mails
leaving New York in the morning and evening
will be in connection with this central route,
as double extra service has been ordered to
commence at that time, in view of the COM
pletion of the Orange and Alexandria Rail
road to Lynchburg. This, it is confidently
believed, will shorten the time from New
York to New Orleans to three days and
twelve hours. The compensation for this
double daily service is to be 5000 per mile.
Full through arrangements have also been
completed for passengers at S4S. 1t is I'M
derstood that arrangements have also been
perfected by the department. in connection
with the above, for q semi.monthly mail from
New Orleans via Tehuantepec and Acapulco,
and thence by the Pacific mail steamers to
San Francisco which it is believed will short.
en- the present time ten days from New York
10 California.
The same writer, under date Of the 9th,
says:
The report that arrangements have been
perfected for semimonthly mail from New
Orleans to San Francisco vid the Istbmus Of
Tshuantepec, originated in the fact that the
terms were yesterday agreed upon, but it APP
pears that an unexpected difficulty arose
which had the effect to delay the consumma-
tion of the contract.
The gentlemen who have succeeded in Sc.
curing the through mails for the Middle
Route, deserve great praise. In year or
two we shall have not only the California
mails taking this route, but much the largest
portion of the travel 10 and from the shores
Of the Paciic--and which will ultimately
lead to advantages and benefits largely be.

KNoxvILLE.-We had the pleasure Of
spending several days of the present week at
Knoxville, the chief town of East Tennessee
and the Capital Of the future State of Frank
land. 1t wears the appearance Of having
been, at some time not very remote, rather
fast aud lively place; but at present its bust
ness streets furnish abundant evidence Of
"hnrd times" and "stagnation Of trade."-
The work of expansion and improvement
has ceased, and unless some arrangement is
made to resume operations on the Knoxville
and Danyil!e Railroad and complete It to the
Coal Banks, Knoxville has about attained its
growth, and instead of population of fif-
teen or twenty thousand inhabitants, it will
hardly maintain its present number, which we
suppose is about five. Without that road
even the Gas Factory will stop after awhile,
and darkness as profound as that Of Know
Knothing culvert will brood over the once
brilliantly lighted city. Towns cannot be
built and sustained by buying and selling
dry goods, any moro than machinery can be
kept moving without motive power. Manu-
features are what Knoxville needs, and the
road to these is via the Cumberland Coal
Fields, and if she don't take that, all the
"Branch Banks" and "Independent Stock
Banks"in the world will not prevent her from
shrinking, in business view ut least, to the
proportions of n respectable roadside village
But our friends there know these things
MS well, or better than we do; and we hope
they will begin to act upon them, as we real
ly feel an interest, common, we believe, to
East Tennessee, for tho success and prospcri.

of premature decay springing up and bios.
soming along its principal thoroughfares and

sendfo Duff Green, and put the Knoxville
and Danvile Road through, to the Coal
Fields at least.

GONE AT LAST The New Orleans Delta,
of the 18th instant, says "Bily Bowlegs,"
the famous Seminole Florida Chief, with
about seventy of his warriors, arrived in the
city yesterday, under charge of Colonel Rec

west of Arkansas. About fifteen of his men
were left behind in Florida; but they will
doubtless follow their Chief very sooE. The

ONE OF THE Evils OF THIEvING ON A BIG
SoALE.--We learn thkt a lady teacher, lately
engaged in one of the Female Schools al
Murfreesboro, received her salary last week
day or two before the failure of the Ex-
change Bank had been asce-taned. Her pay
about $500 was given almost entirely in Elk
change bills-money which is now about as
useless as that much blank paper. Her sala-
ry for teaching, we understand, was heI

ton in which she was engaged will, we fee
sure, indemnify her at least in pars.-GdSetie

As ar item of political news, we copy the
following from the Cincinnati Gazette. We
have seen no similar announcement else
where.
AT a recent meeting of the Republican AS.
ISOLATION of Washington, D. G., which en-
braces many Southern men, the following
platform was adopted
/. The Federal Government has no power
over the system of slavery within the States;
but within its own exclusive jurisdiction it
has the power and ought to exert it, to secure
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to
all men.
.. There shall be neither slavery nor in
voluntary servitude, except for the punish
ment of crime, in any of the Territories of
the United States.
3. The people are the rghtful source Of
all political power and all officers should, so
far as practicable, be chosen by direct vote
of the people.
4. Candidates for political Offices should
be men of undoubted integrity and sobriety,
and pledged 10 support the principles of
this platform by all lawful and constitutional
means.
Senator Seward was present at this meet
ing, and made an elaborate Freesoil speech,
which was very well received. This is the
first popular address of the sort he has ever
made at the Capitol.

THREE SIGNs.-The Baltimore Republican
notices "three things" which have just now
come to hand that are strong signs that sec
tlonal agitation upon the slavery question has
had its day:
81. The speeches of Mr.. Pryor and others
in the Southern Convention against the re-
vival of the siave-trade.
20. The refusal of the National Tract So
cety to lend itself, through its publications,
to the objects of the Abolltonists.
"3. The refusal of the California Legisla-
ture to receive free negroes within the limits
of that State"

New SYSTEM OF ApvERTIsING.-Th great
coup of Mayor Tiemann upon the Georgia
lotteries-the accounts of which were pub
lished in all the papers yesterdays one of
the most splendid pieces of advertising for
Swan g. Co. and Ben. Wood, the owners of
the lottery, that was ever contrived by mortal
brain. The lottery is now known from one
end of the country to the other. We have
no doubt that after this furry has subsidized
the profits of its owners will be greater than
ever before.--M Y. Herald.

office, who confesses to having used $1,000
in State Bonds, he having been arrested in
New Orleans last week.

STRAISISG AT GSATs AND SWALLOWING
CAMELs.-During the present session the
Congress of the United States has been ap-
pointing committee after committee TO inves-
tigate certain alleged frauds, and official spec
ulations of all sorts. All these matters
were TO be pEObed to the bottom. The pro.
bing is now all over, and in what has it re-
suited! They have made an example of
some subordinate who has stolen a few hun
dreds, while the great scamps who steal by
tens of thousands have been sheltered from
exposure and even apologized for. Congress
allows fellow like Matteson to take his
seat among honorable men, even after all the
proofs of his lobby operations last winter,
and revenges itself upon some poor devil
who, humbly initiating his superiors, takes a
few hundreds. Making great fuss about
him shields the great rascals in high offices,
and they are able TO carry on a wholesale
trade in corruption as brskly as ever.

Pyrrho king of Sicily, sat upon his throne
of gold and precious stones, and about him

willing swords about kim, and in the terror
which his cruelty inspired. The light from
