CLEAN UPl-Our town is remarkably healthy,
considering the warm weather. and the extent of the
population and to keep it the best thing the au-
thorties can do Is to order all parts and local. ties TO
be thoroughly cleansed, and kept so. free use
should also be made of lime. In many instances
there are too many persons crowded together in
small tenements and these are not kept as clean as
they ought to be kept. If these continue, we may
look for sickness and many deaths.

MARYV1LLE Tenn, June 7, 1861.
Coz Harris; SIR-One of the delegates TO the
late Knoxville Conventions citizen of this place
An open and avowed abolitonist-a man in com
municaton directly with the powers at Washington,
communicated something TO another citizen Of the
place to-day which l deem it proper for you to
know. The information was given to man who
was supposed to be favorable to Lincoln, and from
whom the information was derived. II Is this
that it was known and admitted that the vote of the
State would be for the ordinance of secession but
that East Tennessee was going to take her destnies
into her own hands-that in less than month civil
war will be in our midst-that before the end of
next week the railroads will be torn up and the
bridges burntthat East Tennessee will very shortly
have $4,000 troops in the field, and whether they get
oih themselves. '' w.
Now, sir, believe all this is intended believe
that before the last OF next week the roads will be
torn up, and the bridges destroyed If they can cut
of the facilities for throwing troops in here they
will place the secessonists of East Tennessee under
a most brutal despotism. You have doubtless al.
ready learned that train with two companies of
armed troops, en- route for Virginia was fred into
by mob of several hundred citizens at Strawberry
Plains on the 9Th. This is only the beginning.

Another rule for successful advertising was
to advertise in the best place in newspaper.
no matter what it might cost. The advertise.
ment must be in a conspicuous place or it
would not succeed. Merchants in Europe
beat us advertising. They frequently pay over
800. 900 a year for advertisements Stewart,
of New York, advertised his cotton goods all
over the Union. His cotton goods alone were
advertised, and it brought him immense re
turns. Mr.. Bonner once went to Mr.. Bennett
the editor Of the New York Herald, and asked
him if he could have three pages in the NOR.
rows paper for his advertisement of the
Ledger. The answer was yes,if he would pay
double rates he might have as much as he
pleased. Upon which Mr.. Bonner said he
would have the whole paper. The conse-
quence was that next day the paper had moth
ing but Bonner advertisement in it.
On one page in large letters, il was stated
that an article written by Henry Ward Beech
er would be in the Ledger; and SO on through
the whole eight pages. Mr.. Bonner did not
advertise all he had got to sell, but only at
tracted attention to the Ledger. lft
People who wished to succeed must use
their brains; they must not depend npon man
ual work. Advertise, and a thousand men
could be got directly for labor on abe streets
every one could do it. But adver-
tise for telegraph company presidents, col
lege presidents, &C., and few would answer
the advertisement Young men must cslti-
vate their intellect. Simply good hand WI.
ting would not insure success. Mr.. Bonner
bought the Ledger for $500, when it had Q
circulation Of only one hundred and seventy
five. He went to see Mr.. Barnum. to consult
what was the best plan for advertising. They
at last fixed upon plan, which was TO have q
story written especially for the purpose and
printed in every paper in the State of New
York, in cities. and towns and villages. The
name OF this story was the '.Gunmaker OF
Moscow The FIRST part of this story WIS put
into every paper on the same Saturday morn
ing. At the end of part first it stated that it
would be continued in the New York Ledger
published by Bonner. The story was copied
into massachusetts, papers, thence into Penn
sylvania papers, and thence into those of other
States, and Mr.. Bonner soon became one oi
the richest publishers in the United States.
The great advantage Of having large column
advertisement in paper was that it covered
other advertisements-peoplec could not help
seeing it.
But advertisements must be frequent
single advertisement would have no effect.
They must be repeated until the name of the
advertiser becomes we'll known.

AMERICA IN EUROPE.

4 writer in an Eastern journal calls atten-
ton to the increased consideration given to
our Government and free institutions, by Eu-
ropean thinkers and political writers. This
is not confined to revolutionists like KossurH
and GARlBAI.D1, and the more impetuous Ma.
zISNI. Albeit we cannot but stop here, and
quote, en- pareathesis, the following well ex-
pressed sentiment Of MAziNYr, recently ex-
pressed concerning the relation Of the Uni
ted States. to the cause of human rights
everywhere.
You have struck deep in the heart OF
Europe conviction that there is in you a
strong. almost incalculable power to be reck-
oned with in the onward march of mankind.
Ali the numerous and ever-ncressing republi-
can elements of Europe have discovered in
YOU the representative. You have become a
a leading milton. You may act as such. In
the great battle which is fought throughout
the world between right and wrong, justice
and arbitrary rule, equality and privilege,
duty and ego'ism. republic and monarchy,
truth and lies, God and idols, your part is
marked; you must accept it..
These, however, are revolutionists, and
their utterances. therefore. make less impress
sion upon continental mind. The homage
rendered to the great republic, is not how
ever confined 10 this class of men. JoHS
STUART MILLis the ablest man and profoundest
thinker in England probably in Europe, and
his sympathetic views and earnest friendship
for our Government, are too well known to
need iteration here. john BRIGHT aud Prof.

statesmen. can he added TO this list. Cros-
sing the Channel, we have enlisted the rea-
diest pens and finest intellects of France in
