KnOxVlIle Foundry and Machine sh Op.

We are happy TO note every introduction Of val
liable enterprise into Tennessee. This is eminently
eof the sort. The gentleman at the bead of this
enterprise Judge j. " North, was for some time
a resident Of New York Afterwards he took 8
prominent part in the organization of Minnesota,
indeed, one of the considerable towns took its
from him. More recently, by Mr.. Lncolns ap-
pointment, he was Judge of Nevada. On account
of feeble health he sought the salubrious climate Of
Tennessee and devotes himself TO the establishment
Of this foundry and machine shop. He has associ-
ated with him Messrs. Prescott jenkins and Clark
gentlemen Of experience and skill in the derart~
ments under their charge. Their works are situated
between the depot of the Knoxville and Kentucky
Railroad and those of the East Tennessee and Vir-
ginia and the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad
favorable for side track on which TO run their ma
teral and manufactures. They have wisely plan
ned to meet the immediate wants of the surround
ing country, whether RAILROAD, agricultural or me-
chanica and consequently do every variety Of brass
and iron casting, intending 10 the iron and coal
so abundant in the State, and illustrate on the
ground the true philosophy for Tennessee.
Notwithstanding their far-seeing purpose, calcu-
lated to be beneficial TO every interest of the To-
calty, the enterprise has received not few sneers
At its Yankee origin, and for time some would go
elsewhere for the sake of trading with a Southern
institution but sensible mea have generally come
to SEQ this folly and rebuke it. They see now such
enterprise contributes 70 the development Of the
vast natural resources Of the State and meets at
their doors most pressing demand.
We are glad TO know that this company have from
the first had good run of business. Some twenty
FIVE or thirty men are employed, and they are ex-
panding their works in accordance with what they
have TO do. In tbs midst of the most magnificent
native supply Of the best coal and ron far they
navo found It impossible 70 proeure the qualities
quired in their works without going considerable
distance. Coal, 50 abundant within forty miles of
Knoxville, will soon be reached by the Knoxville
and Kentucky Railroad. Companies are forming
10 work valuable iron mines in the vicinity. Soon,
under the lead Of this foundry and machine shop
we may expect nature, now so silent and useless,
will yield up at hand not only full supply of the
raw material, but Of the manufactured articles in
all varieties now procured at distance at great
a cost Cor nsportation.-MenlphisP Post.

In fornaer communication, noticed the eolored

present Communication 10 notice those under the
control Of the Garnet League The Garnet League
is an association Of colored people, with headquar-
ters in the city Of Harrisburg, Pa for the purpose
Of assisting the recently emancpRted slaves in edu
cation. This League has auxiliary Leagues in
divers portions of the country The one in this
place is known as the Winan's High School League
and in connection with this League is school num-
bering from 5ne hundred and fifty TO two hundred
scholars. This school was conducted by Professor
o. L. c. Hughes and Mrs. Jones, who for their
qualifications and success teachers, have never
seen surpassed. The conduct of the scholars was
good and commendable, they being strictly atten-
tive TO tEer studies and make great proficiency in
learning TO read and write and in mental arithme-
tic; also, one class in Geography was quite ad-
vanced. Two boys, William Franklin and Jerry
Jarnagon, VIII, if encouraged, make speakers Of
which any community might be proud. There is
also an auxiliary League at cambridge and Messy
Creek in Jefferson county, with school at each
place, which have done noble work in the cause
Of education.

Cemetery was Incorporated, Mr..
Stevens purchased two lots, for which
a deed was duly executed. Some
years later, in looking over his pa
pers, he noticed for the first time the
clause prohibiting the interment of
colored people in the cemetery. He
at once reconveyed the lots to the
company, with his reasons, and asked
that they be put upon the record. A
short time ago he purchased couple
of lots in Woodward Hill Cemetery,
and when the deeds were handed to
him he noticed a similar clause ex-
Guiding the burial of people of color.
The brave old man declared that he
could not consent to have his bones
laid in cemetery where any of Gods
children were excluded for no fault
of their own, and he promptly return.
