A CHANCE FOR BUSINESS.


The sensible and sober men Of the South, the
men who have dared to be loyal, see their own
interests and the interest of their country in
a true light. They very well understand that
now that the incubus of slavery has been re.
moved, free labor can give an impetus to the
development of their resources, such as the
philosophers Of the old school of politics
never dreamed Of. And they we'll under
stand, too that it is only by this means that
the old notions and prejudices-the debris of
slavery and secessionism can ever be thor
oughly cleared away-and that is something
that must be accomplished before the work
Of overthrowing the rebellion can be called
complete.
To the newcomers the loyal people of the
South look to for allies in the contest which
is sure to come-nay, which has already be-
gun-between them and the pardoned but
unrepentant, rebels, who are now everywhere
attempting to obtain the control of public
affairs; and to men who meet difficulties only
to overcome them-who find something in.

very existence Of obstacles and opposition
to men who are pioneers by nature, and the
Mortimer are always SO, the grandest in.
ducements are held out; and, more than all,
national advantages The men who go there
will have the qualification Of knowing that
they are doing their part towards demon
strating the great fact, which weak men and
foolish men have so long and so stoutly de-
MED, that there is no part of this land Of the
free where 1t is necessary for capital to own
labor. From the intelligent, loyal men of
the South, therefore, come invitations for
emigration.
Gov. BRowsLow, of Tennessee, one of the
most prominent of those doing duty on the
right side in that conflict which yet remains
to be repressed or rather fought out to the
end, in an official circular thus sets forth the
claims Of his own neighborhood to the atten.
tion of those who now propose to take hand
in the development of the resources of the
South:
"The climate of Tennessee is mild and
genial, being free from the scorching heats
North. Cattle and sheep may Craze on the
plains throughout the winter. The salubrity
Of the air. the purity Of the water and the
fine health of the whole country are alike
unquestionable and will be attested by
thousands Of Federal officers and soldiers,
who were all admirers Of the country while
here both in summer and winter. What we
now want are industrious enterprising
farmers and mechanics from the North and
Northwest, to aid in developing the resources
Of the State.
II may be little selfish, as my home is in
East Tennessee, as my wife and children were
born therein giving that division of the State

the largest town. is in the centre, being about
one hundred and fifty miles from the Alabama
line on the west, and enc hundred and fifty
from the Virginia and Carolina lines on the
east. Tho country is from seventy. five to
one hundred miles in width. The IIolston
river, In lower East Tennessee taking the
name Of Tennessee, runs through the centre
of the valley, and on its banks run the great
railroads connecting us on tho west with
Nashville and Louisville, and on the east
with Richmond Washington, and Baltimore.
These roads are now in successful operation.

months in the year. Into the Holston empty
