Mr.. John P. Farraat; - -,
In reply to your letter have to say, and / say
il in candor, East Tennessee, above all places on
earth is the place for you and your colony WeaIe
peaceable, quiet loyal and prosperous and you
would be as aafe here as you would in Pennsylvs-
MIA. East Tennessee composed of thirty-one cour-
ties. is separated from iddle and West Tennessee
by the Cumberland range of mountSins, and is
every way as distinct from the other divisions of the
State as New Jersey is from Pennsylvania and as
TO loyalty Of the 10000 majority given in the State
for Grant, about 5000 of that majority was oh
tanned in East Tennessee
The troubles and disturbances of which you hear
so much said are confined to Middle and West Ter
messed, where the rebel influence predomnates. Fer
the facts in regard to the state of affairs in Middle
and West Tennessee refer you to the late able and
truthful report of Maj. Gen. Thomas.
1 deem il proper to state in conclusion, that the
few selfish men in the Republican ranks who de-
nounce Northern men as carpet baggers DO net
reflect the sentiments, wishes feelings of the grest
Republican party of the State. We, one and all
welcome you to our State. Come out and see for
yourselves, and you will be constrained 10 say, 10
regard to the advantages of our country, as tho
Queen said to Ghe King "the hslf has not been
told" Very truly, your friend,

To His ErceLLencg Gov Bro0nlolo II.
A number of families resident here are preparing,
TO emigrate in the spring. The majority are sub
stantal mddle-aged, and Methodists, two at least,
local brethren. Our eyes have been turned Kansas
ward, but our friend and representative, Hon. W.
d. Kelley, strongly recommends East Tennessee,
and has given his views personally to that effect,
cannot exactly bring ourselves to feel that our
little ones would bo safe or the fruits of labor
secure, in Northern sense, in East Tennessee even
if Grant is elected, for some time to come Educa,
tional privileges and complete social recognition
are also points dear to hearts. If you by trans
mission of documents on these points, as we'll its
general resources, could enlighten US and remoya
what perhaps may be called prejudice, you would
perhaps be indirectly beneftting your State, as well
as number of American citizens who wish TO do
nothing rashly, and who, when they move, desire
it shall be permanent one, amongst whom is found,

THE LESSON OF THE LATE ONO RIVER
DIsAsTEK.-It is something like locking the
stable door after the horse is stolen, but
we are glad to learn that bill will soon be
introduced In Congress prohibiting the
transportation of petroleum and other com
bustible materials on in-land passenger YES
sells. This is the lesson taught by the sac
rifce of nearly a hundred lives by the late
disaster on the Ohio for it appears tha t
barrels of petroleum were piled up on board
the United States in such a position that
when the America ran into her the inflam-
mable stuff was hurled into the furnaces,
and, of course, instantaneous combustion
ensued The fact is the laws regulating the
transportation and safe storage Of pctrole-
un and all dangerous explosive articles fan
to meet the case, as we daily or nightly
witness. in terrible eonAagrations on ship
board. in warehouses, and even at the toun-
tain heads Of petroleum themsclves-the
oil wells Here is topic for Congress TO
show it's intelligence in practically legisat-
ing upon the matter at the present session.

Banouet TO Gen. Grant.

banquet last week, at which General Grant and
Admiral Farragut made speeches. Thief olowing
is Grants speech
GENTLEMEN OF THE UNION LEAGUE: 1t is with
extreme regret that find myself unableto respond
in appropriate language TO tho warmth OF feeling
with which this toast has been received. You all
know how unaccustomed l to public speaking,
hearty laughter and applause, how undesirable
talent think it is TO possess how little good it gen.
orally does, Grenewed laughter and cheers and how
desirous / am to see more of our public men follow
the good example which believe, in this particular
if in no other, have sot them. Tremendous ap-
plausel l need not say, must, however, express
my Acknowledgements 60 the Union League of this
CITY, as well as TO the UnioE Leagues of other cities
for the great benefits they conferred upon the Gov
ernment during the rebellion through which we
have passed of late years. l wish 70 acknowlege
their liberalty towards myself and toward the sol
diers serving against the rebellion, and to thank
them for It.
