them, as Union men, during the war, he felt that
his safety required him to leave the county, and

law Of Congress, donating lands for the
benefit Of at least one College in each State
which shall make instruction in Agricultu
raj knowledge and the Mechanic Arts
leading object, was passed in the summer
of 1862 and approved by the President on
the I'd of July Of that year. By it there
is to be apportioned to each State guam
tity of land equal to 10000 acres for each
Senator and Representative in Congress the
State may be entitled to by the census of
1860. This would give to Tennessee 3OO,-
O0O acres If this donation could be had
for East Tennessee University, or one-third
of the amount-the charter being altered
50 as to make these branches Of learning
its principal amt would no doubt prove
q fruitful source Of good in the way OF ed
ucation to the people Of the State. Our
Congressmen-who will be admitted to
their seats in few days, and respected
when thore-will do all in their power to-
ward procuring the necessary amendment
to the existing act of Congress. BY the 9Th
section of the act, it is provided, No State
shall be entitled to the benefits Of this act
unless ii shall expires its acceptance there
of by its Legislature within two years from
the approval of the President" The two
years expired July Cd, 1864. Before that
time and after the passage Of the act, the
authority Of the United States Government
was re-established in Tennessee, or at its
seat of government, and over four 6tths Of
the State, but there was no loyal Legisla-
ture in existence that could act in the case.
Congress, at its present session, will extend
the time SO as to allow the present Legis-
Iature Of Tennessee an.opportunity to &C
cept the donation. Our own immediate
Representative, Mr.. Maynard, can alone
procure the necessary amendment, and we
know he tavors the measure, But above
all things, let the Legislature act at once,
and act decisively in the matter, and it will
have the desired effect upon Congress. If
energy and tact are brought to bear by the
East Tennessee members to the Legislature,
the whole 100000 acres can be had for the
University located here. 1t is a matter of
great Importance to East Tennessee, and
our people cannot fail to see it upon the
slightest notice Of the subject. Certainly
our members of the Legislature must be
struck with it's Importance. and they will
act in the matter, if they desire to advance
the very best interests Of the country.
