A publishing association was organ
ICED in Chattanooga few days since,
and ten thousand dollars raised for the
establishment OF newspap sr in that town,
in charge of W. R Tracy, an old and
vslued correspondent of the Cine nnati
Commercial, and an officer in the Loyal
Tennessee cavalry. A leading feature
OF the new formal is to be the advocacy
of the straight line railroad from Chat
tanoogs to Cincinnati What this line
q 60, Mr.. Tracy, in speech at Chattanoo'
as, set forth as follows:
The railroad route should trace the
Tennessee River valley, on the north
aide, along the base Of Waldron's Ridge,
10 poins near Kingston, eighty miles,
which section of the route is almost
level; thence up the Emory River valley
to Montgomery, eighteen miles, on a
very easy grade; thence to Huntsville,
twentY.fve miles; thence along the
Big South Fork of the Cumberland Riv-
err to Point Burnside, in Kentucky, a
distance of forty-fva miles, thus far
meeting witk no tunnels or other seri-
Gus obstacles; thence to Somerset, six
miles; thence to Stanford, twenty seven
miles; thence to Lancaster, eight miles;
shence to Nicholasville, twenty-four
miles, joining the Coviugton and Lex.
inRton railroad, from which point of
contact il ia one hundred and twelve
miles to Cincinnati, making the whole
disfgncs from Chattanooga to Cincin-
natl three hundred and forty Eve miles,
one hE bred and twenty of which is now
built and in running order." -
The new paper is to be called The

Buckwheat-Gernlan, Buchweitzer--
literally, beech aOheats supposed to be
native of Asia, and called BIZ sarrGson,
Or, sarracon wheat BY the French, after
the Sarracens or Moors, who are be
lieved to have introduced it into Spain.
The bnckwheat is an important crop IN
some portions of the United States. 1t
is cultivated as food fer man and ami
mails. The seeds furnish white flour,
from which popular gruelis made in
Germany and Poland, and breakfast
cakes in America and England; cakes
and dark heavy bread, are also made
in France. Its flowers secrete a large
amount Of honey, and in some parts OF
the United States it is cultivated for the
food of bees. It's grain is said to be su-
perior to oats as nutriment for horses
and poultry, and is especially eficaeious
in causing the latter to lay eggs.
The entire crop of 1850 was 8 $50, sl2
bushels, and in 1860 it was l7'l5l,Sl8
bushels, nearly double that Of 1850, and
showing a larger increase than that OF
any other grain.
The total.amount of buckwheat raised
In the New England States ia 1850, was
TIC, 044 bushels, and in 1860, l,O9O,8
bushels, showing an increase OF SO per
cent. over 1850, in all the New England
States, but the principal increase was
in Maine.
The product of the Middle States in
1850 was 6, 1865, 245 bushels, and in 1860,
IL, 744, 855 bushels, showing an increase
in ten years of about 80 per cent.
Pennsylvania produces the largest
amount, not only of the Middle States
but of any in the Unions The product
in 1860 was 5,572, O24 bushels, nearly as
much as the whole of the Eastern States
in 1860, and an increase of about l5(
per cent over 1850.
New York comes next in order, pro
ducing in 1860, 5, 126, 307 bushels, being
an increase of about 90 per cent. oyel
1850. 81 +
The total amount raised in the West
ern States and Territories in 1850 wa'
I,6l7, 1854 bushels, and in 1860, 4, l59, 4S;
bushels, being an increase of nearly 3OC
per cent. Ohio produces the larges
amount of buckwheat of any State il
the West. and next greatest in the Un
ion after New York, producing in 1885,
2,370,650 bushels, being an increase o
400 per cent. over 1850

The ,ulilHaiIan of Cotton.

Several estimates, made some years
ago, of the expenses Of >cnltivating cot
ton under the old slave system are given
in De Boso's RepieW for January, 1866.
Ono Of the calculations was for a plan-
tation of 400 acres of land (2.700
acres in cultivstioo) worked By 254
I slaves, old and young, which produced
s3l, 900 pounds of cotton, at an expense
2 os four cents seven mills per pound
Another statement ia given of the ex-
: penses on an estate Of eleven hundred
acres of land, worked by one hundred
and twenty slaves, which produced a
crop Of l28 900 pounds of cotton at an
expense of about six cents per pound
J II 10 probable that the present cost,
after allowance is made for liberal
wages te-the freedmen, would not great
ly exceed the above estimates; it would,
We suppose, not be more than doubled.
Yet cotton is now selling for from forty
i've to 6fty.6ve cents per pound in
Northern cities, and will probably com
mand very high prics for several years.
The extraordinary profits thus promised
are producing, as q natural result, the
Industrial condition described below, in
Richmond paper, which learns the
facts from private sources
In the Mississippi bottom mules are
worth from two hundred dollars TO two
hundred and fifty dollars each, and
farm hands are paid twelve dollars pei
month, besides their ratious of foul
pounds Of meat and peck Of meal pei
week. All the expenses of farming are
vastly increased, but cotton is selling il
Ya1oo City at fftY-two cents per pound
Northern capitalists, with their usus
keen appreciation Of pecuniary profit
have not been slow to seize upon thu
q opportunities offered them fer making
money in the rich bottom lands of MIS-
sisaippi, and have rented plantations a
apparently unreasonable prices. Three
plantations on the river, adjoining thos
Of ex President Davis and his brother
Joseph Davis, Esq being an aggregate
. 4rental for the present year of thirty-si:
thousand dollars, and plantation 0
eigbteen hundred acres of cleared Liant
on Deer creek rents for ten dollars pc
acre, the lessee contracts to repair th
negro quarters, and rebuild all the ne
cessary fencing. 1t may be estimate
that bottom lands viii generally sell fo
about twenty dollars per acre, and the
will rent for about one-half the sellinI
prices.

from Knoxville TO Nashville. Accom-
penying the Governor were Miss Fetch

Dr.. Stanford, State Treasurer; Mr.. Hill,
Doorkeeper Of the House of Represen-
tatives; Mr.. Pickla, Deputy United
States Marshal for East Tennessee,
and colored attendant, the whole
party occupying special car. Some
twenty miles from Knoxville, while the
train was proceeding very slowly over
an excellent track, around curve, the
Governor's car, which had been newly
fitted and was apparently in excellent
condition, bolted the track, the trucks
flying apart and rolling from under the
car. The car came down along side of
the track with tremendous jolt, bruis-
ing the inmates considerably, and scat
tering them over the floor. promiscu-

and ankle severely bruised, but we are

became detached and were going for

what To DO Win the Gold.

The Secretary Of the Treasury had on
hand at the first this month one hun
dred millions ofgold in the Government
vaults The papers are discussing what
he should do with this immense sur
plus. On the one hand it is contendetl
that the accumulation of gold tends to
keep up prices, and makes dear food,
fuel and clothing. IFit were disbursed
in the way of purchases OF the Govern
Inent Indebtedness. it is urged that the
whole bulk OF the currency would be
appreciated and living made cores
Pondingly cheaper. The boarding OF
gold, it is affirmed, continually "bulls''
the market, by making it scarcer for ex-
port and duties. 1.-THE gold were sold aud
interest bearing bonds retired, just so
much Of the principal and interest ofour
debt would he out of its way, and OF
course the credit of the Governmen
would improve to the benefit of every
body who purchases. On the other hand
it is argued that if Mr.. McCullOch were
to part with his gold the price would be
at the mercy of Wall street combine
tons, and very suddenly he might be
compelled to go into the market as "A
buyer tn meet the interest on the bonds.
and be compelled to pay an enormous
premium. As matters now stand the
Secretary holds the whip-hand of the
speCulntOrs. They fear 10 put up the
price too high lest they may meet the
Government as IL seller in the market.
