Knoxville.

Persons who have not visited Knoxville for
the past ten or twelve months, will be struck
with the rapid growth and expansion Of the
city. We noticed that many large and COM
modious business buildings had been erected,
and others were in course of construction. H.
deed, the evidences Of progress and material
prosperity are sufficiently abundant to satisfy
the most skeptical, and we shall be disappoint-
ed if in the course of a few years Knoxville
does not attain to the proportions of Il city of
some twenty or twenty five thousand inhabi-
tants. We rccollcct something about the Rail-
road Convention which met at Knoxville in
1856, we believe it was, to inaugurate a sys-
tenn of improvements that would bring the
cities of what was then the West in direct and
speedy communication with the Southern sea-
board. The most prominent participants OIL
that occasion have passed on, but much that
was then regarded as idle and visionary, fit
only to be ridiculed, has already been realized
and in few years more the grand scheme will
be consummatcd. AS was predicted ut the
time, Knoxville, from its location, is to be the
great beneficiary, and is already reaping some
of the fruits, but nothing in comparison with
what is to come. We congratulate the citizens
upon the prosperous future spreading out be.
fore them.
Several important manufacturing enterprises
have sprung up at Knoxville within the last
year or two, of which we propose to speak
more ut leisure.

Startling Announcement.

We find the following in the Nashville Press
and Times of the 10Th:
"Gen. Sam. p. Ivens, of the Athens Post, is
q candidate for Congress for the State at large
against Messrs. Rodgers and Hamilton. So says
u reliable informant"
Wehave apretty intimate acquaintance with
the distinguished individual named, and think
there must be some mistake about the candi-
dacy. There is but one newspaper man in the
State who would consent to degrade the pro-
fession by Offering for Congress, and he lives in
the Fifth District. And then the idea of gen.
tlcman of senserunning for an office that has no
legal existence! See here, Mr.. Mercer; you
just put another such report as that in circula-
ton, and "Gen. Sam. p. Ivens, of the Athens
Post" will shake you up good to the extent of
about half column.

Another Wholesale House.

The attention of retail merchants and others
is respectfully invited to the advertisement of
McCLUNG, GILLESPIE & Co., Wholesale Deal
crs in Foreign and Domestic Dry Goods, Fan
cy Goods, Notions, &C., Knoxville, Tennessee.
This is another enterprise which promises to
add largely to the business Importance of
Knoxville, afording as it does additional IA
cilities to the retail trader to obtain his sup
plies on advantageous terms without the cost
and annoyance of seeking distant markets hum
dreds of miles away. We took look through
the establishment on Monday, and found it full
and complete in every department. We can
only add that it is solid concern, and that
the retail merchant and defier of this section
will find both convenience and profit in visit
ing Knoxville and examining its heavy stocks
of foreign and domestic goods before seeking
distant martS.

The Circus Coming.

A good many of the travelling concerns now
a-days are little better than third class hum
bugs. 1t is mot so, however, with John Rob-
inson's Grand Circus and Menagerie, which is
to exhibitat Athens on next Friday, the Cd OF
October. We have known John Robinson any
time during the last twenty years, and his
Combination Show Is just what itpurports to
be-the grandest affair of the season. We are
living in the midst Of troublous and extraor-
binary times, and the occasion referred to may
be the last chance to witness the feats of the
ring or to SEQ the elephant. 1t is, there.
fore, expected that everybody, near and remote
will come in, and bring his wife and his wife's
children with him, on Friday, the I'd of Octo,
Der. See advertisement.

Nobody mt Home.

We understand that Col. DAVE NELSON
had an appointment to speak at Madisonville
on Tuesday, but that the speaking didn't come
off in consequence of the people having all
gone to another portion Of the county to at
tend constable's sale, or something of that
sort. Col. CLEMENTsON, the Democratic Elec.
tor, was also at Madisonville, to reply. If
these gentlemen propose to canvass the District
efficiently it would be good idea perhaps to
get out list of joint appointments and have
them published in the respective party papers.
We don't know any other plan by which they
are likely to get the people together to hear
them.
