whistle of the iron horse he goes on his mission
ting through our hills and over our fertile vallios
al each point Of the compass bearing away the pro-
ducts Of our own fertile SOIL The fruits of our enter
prise and industry, and bringing back what we need
Of the products of our sister States
What we now need most, is capital TO develop
these resources. Our COAL unless put to q proper
use, cannot prove source Of wealth to US Our
ron If left undisturbed in the earth, viii yield rs
no profit To be profitable TO us, they must be made
to answer our demands Unfortunately, we nave
just passed through destructive civil war. Our
fields have been uncultivated our houses and barns
burned Our energies have been crippled and de-
stroyed, and for four long years we have beheld
naught but strife and bloodshed, the end Of which
left US in a PROSTATE condition, financially. So
now we are powerless, We know the elements of
wealth are TO be found broadcast throughout the
land, but for the present, and we fear for long
time to come, We are unable to grasp them-unable
to develop them
Our remedy, then is to hold out inducements to
men Of means to come among US and assist US in
DONG what We are ourselves unable to do Il seems
to US that no point in the South presents more fa-
vorabie opportunity TO open manufacturing inte-
rests at the present time than Knoxville. We want
plough factories, broom factories, nail factories,
bucket factories, foundres, rolling-mills and every
species Of workshops to be found anywhere in the
Union We already have good foundry, but we
have room for more. Messrs. J. W. North s. Co.
are doing fine business and are men Of enter
prise but they cannot suffer from competition
Messrs Chamberlain & Richards whe are Dlanufac-
turing at their rolling-mill the best iron in the
South, find a ready market for all their iron, and
will not care for competition.
Instead Of only about halfdozsn steam engines
plying their machinery, we should have hundred.
There is no reason why Knoxville should not soon
become the Lowell OF the Pittsburg Of the South
Let our capitalists labor for this desirable object
and let the whole energies Of the people be direct
ed to this end, and it must be accomplished

A WRITER in the Journal glories over the
lacs that MACMILLAN was shot by the
Mexican authorities. He says: .s
u confess myself truly rejoiced to know
tnat there Is one government on this con-
tinent possessing the will, as well as the
ABILITY, to punish traitor as he deserves"
1t the writer had a grain of common
sense, he would not have written the above.
MACMILLAN owed no allegiance to Mexico
until, after the farce of an election, he was
elected Emperor. He tried to sustain the
popular will, as he supposed it, but like
similar elections held in the United States
during the war, the election that made him
Emperor was far from embodying the will
of the people. ..z..-.
MACMILLAN was deceived and betrayed
by the Mexican leaders eager for office.
and by the French Emperor. His death is
deep stain on the Mexican ruler and re-
fleets no credit on the government at
Washington, which ought to have saved
him and did not.

The Journal Shows that the Next
Legislature will be DemOcratic.

HE ebOurm0l SHOWS umat thc NcXt
Legislature will be Democratic.
The Journal still fears that the next
Legislature will be Democratic. We have
no fears on that subject, but our hopes are
high and are we'll founded. This is the
Second Jeremiade OF the Journal on that
subject. 1t says: t-t
s'As we before stated, the Legislature, as
elected in 1856, stands, in the Senate %
Union and II Democrats and in the House
20 Union and 35 Democrats. giving Union
majority in the Senate of 13, and in the
House of 35, and on joint ballot of As.
To change this majority there must be
Union loss in the Senate of seven members,
and in the House of eighteen, or twenty
five in both branches. This seems like a
heavy contract for the minority to under
take in one campaign, yet when 1t Is known
how few votes will be necessary to effect
the change, it will be seen that the thing is
not 80 improbable as at the first glance it
might appear.
I'm the election of members of the House
at the next election, a change of 5000
votes from the Union ticket, as the vote
stood in 1865, will change the political
complexion of the House, while in the
Senate the same change will be effected by
q change of 1922 votes. Deducting from
the last number the vote ofthose counties in
cluded in the House estimate, and it would
require but 6035 votes to change the politi-
cal complexion of both branches of the
Legislature, giving the Democrats control
of both Houses, majority on joint ballot.
and therefore successor to Wade in the
Senate" &c.
That the danger to Republican ascen-
dency may be the more fully set forth, the
journal gives the figures by which that
party was enabled to elect majority OF
the last Legislature. The figures show the
mJorities by which eighteen negro suf-

Democratic Convention in Fulton
County.
The Democracy of Fulton county met at
the Court House in Ottakee on the Doth OF
June, and nominated JAMES K. NEWCOMER,
Esq, for Representative, and A. H. JORDAN,
for Commissioner.
A correspondent writing us, says that
''the nominee for Representative from 1861
to 1865 was the Editor of the Democratic
paper published in Ottawa county" AS
such we remember him well, and prophesy
that he will make an excellent member.
The following other proceedings were
had:
NJ. Fl. Butler from the committee on
resolutions, reported the following which
were unanimously adopted by sections:
The Democracy of Fulton county, by
delegates, in Convention assembled, do
hereby express hearty approval of the
platform of principles adopted by the State
Convention in Columbus on the Sth of jan
uary, 1857, and summarily resolve
1st. That we hold to the belief that the
maintenance inviolate ofthe right and SOW
ereignty of the States, and especially of the
right of each State to order and control its
own domestic affairs according to its own
Judgment, exclusively, is essential to that
balance of power on which the perfection
and endurance of our political fabric de-
pends.
send. That high protective tariff we
believe is unjust, and, in its effect, sacrifices
ments of the few; we, therefore deem it to
the best interest of the whole people that
the present tariff laws be modified.
''3rd. That all property should be equally
taxed whether consisting in government
bonds or other property; that the exemp-
tion of any class of property tends to bur-
den the poor and make the rich richer;
be more equally taxed we believe the gov
ernment should retire the untaXable inter-
est bearing bonds with the same currency
that purchased them, and that that curren-
cy be the basis OF the value and take the
place of those bonds, thereby saving to the
people $200,00O,000 a year interest in gold
as tax now burdened upon them.
4th. That IN the language of Stephen A.
Douglas we hold, "That this Government
was made on the white basis" and should
be administered by white men," we are.
therefore, opposed to striking the word
''whitep from the Constitution, and will,
therefore, vote against the proposed Consti-
tutional Amendment, as proposed by the
last Republican Legislature.
The following names were announced
and confirmed as County Central Com
mittee: James X. Newcomer, NJ. Handy,
Ottokee; DR.. S. Hubbard, Archibald /; S. C..
Biddle, Delta; DR.. Allen, G orham.
A resolution was adopted instructing the
Secretary to forward the proceedings of
this Convention to the editors of the North
toestern Republican, with request that the
same be published in said paper also that
the proceedings be published in the OHIO
STATESMAN, Napoleon Northwest and Bryan
Democrat.
On motion, adjourned sine die.

The Difference Between Officers
and Soldiers.

The Journal copies from the Memphis
appeal the following:
when stolen property is exhibited with
pride as prizes of war in thousands of
Northern homes, it is no toonder that the
prisons and penitentiaries are replenished ,otth
returned heorOes."
Thereupon, taking for granted that the
appeal charges soldiers with being thieves,
the Journal proceeds gravely to defend
them. The charge oftheft made against per-
sons in the army does not, we think, include
the soldiers. 1t is confined to officers, con-
tractors and camp followers. 1t was the
class of men that were not soldiers, but
army officers, etc., who took spoons and
other silver things-books, horses, etc., but
even if included, the soldiers were not al
lowed to take anything of value, for the
officers needed them all. Within the last
six months, the writer of this, returned to
a gentleman of Savannah, Ga, a valuable
Bible, taken from his library by Captain
in the army, who presented it to us, with
his name written therein, and in addition
the words: "Taken from the library o1
HOMER G. d ENsLow, Savannah, Ga.' Lest
the receiver might be considered bad as
the thief" the Bible was returned to it:
owner through the politeness of ASA HAIR
RIs, late of this city, but now Postmaster at
Savannah. When soldiers are accused OF
being thieves, we will defend them, but no,
the officers, for the proof against them is
too strong for successful contradiction.
In proof OF the fact we have stated will
the Journal tax the memory of its editor
who was an officer in the Army to answer
US the following: Is it not within the recol-
lection of the editor, that, at certain bridge
in Tennessee, the soldiers were searched
and every thing of value, including chick
ems, which they had picked up, taken from
them? When this is answered in the affil.
