s- 1t is distressing to learn that the
yellow fever is raging fearfully in the
town of Clinton in this State. From the
reports which have reached us, the
plague prevails there to an extent oply
exceeded by New Orleans in point of
population. Late papers from that place
state that frost has not diminished the
number of cases as was generally antici
pated. 1t is a gloomy picture, but it
exists nevertheless.

A gentleman in North Carolina, jus

A gentleman in North Carolina, just
before the war, bought a poor, sandy
farm for the purpose of engaging ID the
cultivation Of grapes, for which he PAID
five hundred dollars. When he common
ced the business, his n~eighbors and
friends laughed at bin and made fun Of
his project, but this did not deter him.
He persevered and has now seYenty-hve
acres in grapes, and seventy-five differ
ent varieties. He has been recently Of
fered many thousand dollars for his place,
and has made as high as 1000 gallons Of
wine in a year.-E1chaage.
And with many such examples before
the eyes Of the Southern people, they
still MOURN over lost wealth, and refuse
to take advantage OF times aud circum
stances. They have not yet got rid Of
the mania Of cotton on the BRAIN"
which has prevailed so extensively since
the closing Of the war, nor will they get
rid Of it until grim starvation stares
them in the face, and it is coming
to that point fast. Instead of trying
something that will pay, and has always
paid the industrious, the enterprising
man. they still cling TO the phantom, cot
ton, still believing, in their ignorance,
that it is the only agricultural product
that can retrieve their fallen fortunes.
If several years of failure has not con.
ginced them Of the folly of planting cot
ton, then an angel from Heaven could not
convince them that they are wrong, and
must try something else to support their
families. As Wa have often said before,
there are mines of wealth in Southern
soil, but it requires industry and energy
to develop them. Who but a fool or a
mailman would persist IN continuing q
branch of agriculture which has failed so
often and which promises no better for
the future ? Will our planters and farm
ers never profit by the sad teachings of
experience ? or will they wait until men
harder, more industrious and energetic
than themselves nsurp their places, and
drive them from their homes as wander
ers and outcasts upon the charity of >
bitter and upsympathising world? Take
warning in time, and profit by the past.

Union and new political era upon which
the province was entering, and the hope

river. In consequence of the abolition Of
slavery, the planters of West Tennessee
are likely TO devote themselves to the
planting Of wheat and corn, and TO the
raising Of cGitle, far more than they have
done The climate of West Tennessee is
generally healthy il is only near the
swanaps of the Mississippi that feyers pre-
vail.
From the facts here presented, it is eyi-
dent that Tennessee presents advantages
which deserve general attention. Situated
in the central part of the Union, Tennessee
is able TO produce all the cereals that grow
in the North, and with the exception Of
sugar cane, all the agricultural products
growing in the South. Thanks TO the
mildness of its climate, the larger portion
ofthe year which it is capable of produc-
tion, the extent of its railroad communica-
tions, and to its superior inland nayiga-
tion, the people of Tennessee can take
their products either North or South,
while in the one case the cold, and in the
other the heat prevent their growth.
1t only remains to refer very briefly TO
the spirit which animates the people of
Tennessee. Heretofore the State relied
for its prosperity principally on a partial
development Of its agricultural resources.
A new era has been nsherAd in. In conse-
quence of the changes which have occurred,
The way Is opened for harmonious deyel-
opment cf all the resources of the State.
Many opportunities are offered for the pur-
chase Of sarms of any size, at moderate pri,
ces, and many peculiar advantages are held
out to mechanics, manufacturers and all

power to aid in developing the resources
of the State. The unsettled condition
of society, connected with the war, and
the injuries it wrought to our social condi-
ton are passing away. 1t is acknowledged
among all classes of intelligent citizens
that peace and prosperity depend upon the
enforcement of the laws. The courts are
open, and the administration of Justice is
assured in every county Of the State. All
necessities and interests are inspiring our
citizens with greater industry and more
careful attention to improvement in inn
plements and methods of farming, and in
the introduction of manufactures and the
encouragement of those who come among
them, and who desire to make their homes
in Tennessee. To the realization of a
brighter future for the State, the school
law, which has been enacted, will 80 con-
tribute to public welfare. By the means of
this law, every child in the State is to have
free access to the schools. The Board,
then, have no hesitation in inviting every
industrious immigrant to take up his sabode
in this State, in order to take part in de-
yeloping its resources, and in advancing
its prosperity.

DICKENS,
Something Of His Domestic Habits
and SURROUNDINGS.

Something Of His Domestic Habits
and Surroundings.
From the New York Sun.
In person, Dickens is not bad looking,
though his eye, as might be expected, is
the most striking feature, and he makes the
most Of IT, He is about the middle stature,
with a sturdy, healthy made frame, which
he nurses carefully, correcting his proofs
whilst walking up and down Chancer's pill
grims' road, the hills and wales of Kent,
England, where his country residence is,
twenty-four miles from London, which dis
tance he has been known to walk OCCASION
ally, even at night time, TO his Office in the
Strand. His house and few acres of
ground at Gad's Hall, facing the Sir John
Falstafi's Hotel, place immortalized by
Shakespeare, he bought about twelve years
ago, and Immediately set about making
poetic alterations. Nearly all the plain
windows were removed, and large bow
windows were substituted. His study, es-
pecially, is made open TO the light, being
due East, and the morning sun strikes full
upon it. He appeared, before Bambledom,
in the shape of the road trustees of the To-
cality, to ask that he might tunnel under
the Canterbury road passing his house, so
as to communicate with garden he had
on the other side, in imitation of the poet
Shenstone, at the Leasowes.
He is separated from his wife, and nos
blamelessly, as is said. The people round
Gad's Hall were scandalized because he al
lowed some of his folks to play cricket on
Sunday in his meadow near the house. He
occasionally has a party down from Lon-
don, when they have a right merry time.
On festive and other occasions he hoists
the French tricolor, in which country he
spends great portion of each season.
One cannot easily pardon him or Thack-
cray, for the cold shoulder they gave to
this country during tfe late great struggle.
1t is not generally known how far Dickens
went in favor of the Confederates, when he
shared the fIeqent English wish and be-
lief that they would be successful. But
those who will return to the pages Of his
All the Year Round for such articles as
Diary of Confederate Boy" and the
"Story Of a Deserter from the Federal
Army will find how disposed he was, so
long as the struggle was at all doubtful, to
give aid and comfort to our enemies. His
love for display and jewelry is somewhat
marked, and last year he showed toad
eating weakness, which he so derided in
Others, in having as his guest the Earl Of
Darnley, who was another friend to JEFF.
Davis, and for his amusement had the
ploughboys of the neighborhood engaged
In rude rustic sports to make fools of them
selves, in feudal English style, for an aristo-
cratic holiday.
