EAST TENsEssEE.-Mr. Charles A. Dana
formerly the able editor of the Tribune, and
lately invited to assist the Secratery of War
has written letter to the New York press, in
which he invites benevolent attention to the
sufferings of the devoted people of East
Tennessee:
"The most loyal population which can be
found any where in the United States, so far
as my observation has enabled me to judge.
Their country has been repeatedly traversed
by both rebel and Union armies, and the con-
sequence is that in many portions of it the in
habitants are literally starving. The Govern
ment, of course will issue rations to the desti-
tute in the immediate vicinity of our military
posts, but this will not suffice to relieve the
distress that is now beginning TO be felt
among the secluded valleys of that region,
Having recently made two Journeys through
considerable portion oft, l state only what
l have seen with my own eyes. The dire
wants of that simple-minded people should be
met by the humane sympathies of our North
ern communities, whose ample charity cannot
be exercised toward more honest, more patr-
otic, or more innocent sufferers"

Fourteen years ago the first railway train
ran out Of Chicago. Now there are ninty
trains leaving that city daily. The total num-
Der ofcars in these trains is one .thousand
four hundred and thirty-two freight, and one
hundred and sixty-three passenger cars. Plac-
ing these out trains all In one line, adding
the length of engines and tenders of each train
the total length Of all the trains leaving the
city daily is twenty-five miles and twelve rods;
very respectable days journey for man to
drive from one end to the other. The in-com-
ing trains average the same length, and about
the same business. This, then would make
upwards of fifty miles of train required to
transact the daily railroad business Of Chica-
go. The Tribune says:
ALLOWING ten tons to be load for a freight
car, and thirty passengers TO a coach, there are
moved daily by railroad to and from the city
nine thousand seven hundred and eighty pas
sengers and twenty-eight thousand six humid
dred and iorty tons of freight. Suppose we inn
aginarily Danish railroads, and set ourselves
back fifteen years, when there were no rail-
roads in this section, and when freight and
passengers were moved by teams. One ton is
considered a load for two horses over a coun-
try ROAD, ana tnree persons ior a travelling
team of two horses. At this rate 1t would re-
quire six thousand five hundred and twenty
horses to move the passengers, and fourteen
thousand three hundred and twenty to move
the freight, and twenty thousand eight hun
dred and forty horses to move the passengers
and freight that arrive and depart daily by
railroad, and at less than one tenth the rate of
locomotive speed. What a spectacle would
eleven thousand teamsters present, hitching
up and starting off with their eleven thousand
teams. Yet this business is all done so syste-
matically-trains arrive and leave with clock
work regularity-that few except passengers
and rail road men take any notice of the move
ment of trains.
The business on nearly every road is con-
stantly increasing, and the engine and car
shops are constantly adding rolling stock to
keep pace with this increase of business. The
Illinois Central, for instance have built about
five hundred new cars during the past year
besides keeping up the repairs. The compa-
ny has now in use three thousand freight and
upwards of one hundred passenger cars, yet
are frequently short of rolling stock to meet
the demands ofgovernment and public. The
otherroads are generally doing pr oportion-
atey extensive business"
