BROWNSVILLE, HAYWOOD COUNTY, Tenn,
September 3, 1866.
To the Editors Of the Richmoad Dispatch:
know there are many mechanics in
Virginia who cannot get employment be-
cause the people have nothing to pay them
for their work. To such / would say come
out West, if you can either borrow or beg
the money to pay your passage, which will
be about fifty dollars. Here in Browns
vile we have 10 pay mechanics four dollars
q day, and beg them to work for us ut that.
Common laborers get from nine shllings to
two dollars day. In Memphis, brickiay.
ers get six dollars day.
Brownsville is improving rapidly. Many
are wishing to build and settle in the town,
but cannot find workmen to supply the de-
mand. know Of no place where house.
carpenters and bricklaycrs could do better
than in Brownsville. They can get board
for twenty dollars month, and get iour
dollars day for every day they work. 4
good cabinct-maker and undertaken could
DO fine business here.
This part of Tennessee did not suffer
much from the ravages of war, and green
backs and gold are much more plentiful
here than in the Old Dominion.
/ do hope some good mechanics will
come here and increase the competition,
that we may not have to beg so hard to get
our work done at such high prices.
Yours respectfully, A. b. Z.

THE UMBRELLA IN FRANCE.-A Paris
letterwriter gives humorous description
of how the umbrella was introduced into
France. He says: "The war drove so
many southern families abroad, they FORM
ed u large-sized colony here, and when
they raised their umbrellas to keep off the
sunbeams they kept one another in coun-
tenance. The other foreigners here see
ing SO many umbrellas raised on sunny
days, thought, naturally enough, it was a
Partisan custom, and conformed to it.
They found it comfortable, and persuaded
their friends to adopt it. In this way the
firing on Fort Sumter has made Parisians
adopt the southern fashion of using UNI.
brellas to keep off the sunbeams as we'll as
the cloua.drOps."

CuEAp GAs.-The Glasgow (Scotland)
Herald of August % says: For the last
three months or so, Mr.. Blyth, mining en-
gineer, has been employed, on behalf OF
Mr.. Dixon, Govan Collicry, prosecuting a
bore in search Of iron.stonc on the estate
of Sir William Stirling Maxwell, of Pol
lok. The exact position where the work
is being carried on is in field at an angle
of the road leading to PollokSkshawe, by
Hagaboose farm-steading and Haggs Cas-
tie, and about midway between these two
places. For the last week il has been
known TO the workmen that gas or fire.
damp has been escaping from the bore,
and q few days ago they had TO eXtinguisll
an uncomfortable Jet Of it which had been
accidentally ignited. However, on Thurs
dav morning about O'Clock more Sc
rious occurrence OF the same nature took
place. 1t appears that one of the borcrs
sat down on q tool-chest about four hun
dred feet from the bore, and proceeded to
light his pipe. That considerable distance
was hot out Of reach of the large volume
of iire-damp however, for no sooner was
the match struck than the poor fellow, who
thought himself far ont OF harms way, was
envelopcd in a sheet of flame but he was
only slightly burned on the handsand face.
Of course the fire was conducted TO the
fountan-head at the bore, and there il was
raging on Thursday night at 10 o'clock,
and should no etfectual means be found to
put it out, it is the opinion Of skilled per-
sons that it may burn for long period
months, perhaps years.
When the fire broke out, the workmeii
endeavored, with stout iron rods, which
they used as hammers, 10 stop up the bore,
but So strong was the rush of gas that
three or four sturdy men were blown
aside. A cast-iron boiler weighing seve-
raj hundred weight was then thrown on
top of the flame, but it was instantly rent
and tossed into the air. Had not the gas
cracked it, and had it got q good hold OF
the stiff clay around the bore, it would
probably burst like bombshell, and the
consequence to the workmen may he
imagined. The boring apparatus having
taken fire, had to be taken down, and the
rods left in the bore, which is two and q
quarter inch, and has now attained a
depth of 420 feet, and passed through the
sandstone strata. There is every conf
dence that the rods will be recovered un-
injured on the fire being got under, us it
is only on the gas coming to the surface
and into contact with the air that com
bustion begins. The roaring of the flames,
which reach from twenty to thirty feet in
height, is very loud, and similar to that
produced by the letting off the steam from
q high-pressure boiler. They are OF very
brilliant shades Of blue, yellow, green,
and orange, and writhe and roll in man
ner that no pyrotechnic display could
equal, throwing OFT before the wind ribbons
Of flame variously colored.
