! letter A score or more of letters have
been written by the same parties and they
have failed to reach their destination The
cause is evident
Packages pass often through the mails Of
! East Tennessee, labeled 10 these secret or
! CARNATIONS known as the "Union League,
/ without being post marked, OF any postage
! charged. A sealed envelope containing,
! apparently, written matter, addressed to the
! leader Of the "Cornet Band, came 10 Nor
/ ristown some days since. Il was not post
marked, nor any postage charged. After
/ the document had lain in the Office some
! days il was called for by one DIR. ADAMS,
| who is known rs the Header Of the Union
League" whose headquarters are at Harle
Academy, some six miles south Of Morris
town. Similar packages have come TO the
same Office. Hence il is evident that there
are perjLred pOstmasters in East Tennessee.
IL is seldom that Conservative papers, whose
destination is of of the railroad ars ever
received
col BAXTER AT sOKEsBoRO.
The meeting at Jonesboro yesterday was
a grand success Hon. JOHN BAXTER at
tackled the lion in his den. I'VE mean
Radicalism.) If FLETCHER can live after
such a currying down as he received at the
hands Of BAXTER, he can survive anything
Col. BAxTER's address was received With
the greatest Of enthusiasm. Conservatism
is on the gain in this county. 1t is the
purpose Of Col. BAXTER, NELSON and TAY-
LoR, to make speeches throughout East
Tennessee We would here remark that
during BRowNLow's and FLETCHER's visit
to Elizabethtown some days since, Col. WIN.
CARTER asked for division of time, which
they refdsed. The Radicals Of that county
and Others, who possess any intelligence,
whatever, will not suffer the true issues TO
be discussed before the masses if they can
possibly prevent it.
THE CROPS.
The crops generally, in this locality, are
fine. So far as we have been able to learn,
the corn crop was never better in the upper
counties Of the State. The energy and en-
terprise, everywhere TO be observed through
out this county, is highly encouraging, and
promises an early return of the prosperous
days Of 1861.
BRISTOL.
During the past few months this prosper
Gus and growing place has assumed the pro-
portions of city. A large number Of ele-
giant mercantile and dwelling houses have
been constructed, and several others are in
course Of erection. For the present busi-
ness is dull Merchants anticipate an ac-
tive trade 50 soon as crops are gathered.
Some Of the best men Of East Tennessee have |
settled in this place within the last few
months-among them, Col. DEADERICK and
T. L. BURsoN, Esq, with their families,
from Jonesboro. That Bristol will become
a city ofno mean magnitude at an early day
there is not the least doubt. She is favored
with every advantage that could contribute
10 such an end.
There is no doubt but what the railroad |
projected from this point TO Cumberland |
Gap, will be completed at an early day. |
Much interest Is manifested in the enter |
prise.
The travel on this line of railway, going |
north and south, is immense. This is oc- |
casioned by the prevalence of the cholera on |
the Louisville and Cincinnati route. How
ever BRowNLow preferred risking the |
cholera to passing through Virginia, and ao-
went to the Philadelphia Conven-
lion the northern route NJ
