The Memphis Appeal in its
'Talk on Change" says: "A gen
tleman, who has been travelling ON
horseback doing business in Mid
die Tennessee, stated that the
planters there were generally sub
stltuting grains and other market
able produce for cotton. and that
the breadth of land devoted to
corn, wheat, rye, etc, is beyond all
comparison with any former years
in Southern history.

little with US when the oyster sea-

From East Tennessee.

A gentleman just from Bristol,
who has been stationed there for
the last six weeks on railroad
business, gives further informa-
ton as to the condition Of affairs in
East Tennessee. He says that he
did not hear a Union sentiment
uttered until after the bridges
were burned, and up to that time
he had no iGea that any great di-
versity of opinion existed
1t was reported when he left
that a party of Lincolnitcs, 1000
strong, were assembled in Carter
county, east of Bristol; another
camp of from 500 to 700 in Brad
ley and Marion counties, and
few companies elsewhere. Great
excitement prevailed in the COM
mmity. The outrages were, how
ever, having the effect to strength
Ell the friends of law and order,
Many good citizens were announc-
ing that although Union men they
had never expected that party to,
become bridge burning incendia-
ries. They were freely expressing
themselves in favor of peace and
against civil war. They declare
they will support the laws of the
State, and also aid in preventing
'urther outrages by the marauders. !

AN ACTOR SHOWS HIS CoLoRs.

Mr Mari, Smith, former lavonte with all New
York pay-goes rcapFeared after long absence M the
South, ut the Winter GARDEN on Wednesday evening.
IL has been q subject Of much comment, not OF the most
fatteripg sor that he allowed his name 70 be used 10
Ncw-Olicins Of professional party who testi-
fed thc;r allegiance 70 the Secession cause by banding
together in q company, nicsnarncd al the North the
Cocktail Guard" The feeling against Mr.. Smith
and his Hasocafes lone Of whom departed for England
without taking leave Of his Northern fieuds has been
a. decided IN ibis city that in fear OF serious demon
stralion upon his Gr appearance, number or police
men wors stationed throughout the house. large
epu,on q The fenis oftho actor also appeared, and
openly ayowei their intention N sustain suitli, nd
their physical appearance Indicated that they could
make a very successful resistance 70 inuch greater
force OF macunicuts than e entire aId enee clmpoaed,
even without the assistance Of the police. When The
actor agpearcd upon the stage Ia tho farce OF BoD
Nettles. he was greeted with e shout Of applause
which drowned volume of hsses Tor several moments.
When these became evident, angry cries were raised
sgainet those who dared thus 20 manifest thoir lis
pleasure, 70 " Put them out can whip the man
that hifsed;" "It's cowardly," Sc.
In the mids, Of the confusion, Mr.. Smith claimed
tho attention OF the sldenee, aud tai ,ha, ne was
profoundly grateful Cor his reception. He had de-
tocied expressions Of dsapprobs,ion and knew what
,hey meant he would now offer FROM the STAGE 10 G
New-Ycrk audience, from whom he hal received 10
many isvos, what he had not sought to offer through
the newspapers explanation. During his rrcies-
sons career, malicious CHARGES had beer made tha, he
had joined the Secession forces IN Now-OTeans lie

woud be- impossible for him to fight against the nag
under which he was born and he meant to do 1t.
Was ths satisfactory! Even tho bssers Appeared TO
be ,aised either that this statement entirely exoner-
ated Smith from the charge Of inhdeliy, or that Il
would not be prudent for them TO think differently
aioud, and the cheering was very enthusiastic. We
believe that Mr. Smith has been troubled to secure an
engagement at any leading thes;er in New-iork iOr
the coming season, but, after this demonstration, lie
will probably be able to resume the honorable position
he 10 long held before the theatrical public.
