Thus far, the great tide Of foreign i'm.
migration has swept past US and poured
/ itself out upon our vast national domain
in the West and the Northwest; but an
| ineonsiderable part of ii has been di-
| verted TO our borders. Yet no other
State offers equal Inducements to those
| of Tennessee Our mountains are rich
| in various minerals, our rivers are aff1u-
/ ent In power to prOpel machinery, our
| State is grid-iTOned with railroads, our
| forests abound with the finest OF lumber,
our soil is capable OF enTiching produe-
| ton, climate is genial and our scenery
grand and beautiful. Added to all these
advantages, with a good system Of COM
mon schools, and a hardy, industrious,
loyal, liberty-loving population, CEN
tral position among the States, and easy
access TO market in all directions, Ten
nessee is certainly one OF the most attrac-
tive Of States to those who would inn
prove their condition by emigration,
whether from foreign countries or from
sister States.
Still, notwithstanding all these induce
ments, immigration in this languishes.
Something more effective must be done
to counterset the efforts made by other
States, and by other llnes Of travel than
ours, to direct emigration westward, SO
as to bring larger proportion Of it into
our midst.
Other States have incorporated socie-I
ties and -fs,S,,-theT this object. They
Of popsAL = izsI0ileTs CT imnligrsti1n n at
the principal American and European
ports. II we successfully compete with
them we must adopt their tactics and
emulate their zeal. Money and effort
thus expended will come back with
manifold increase.
I recommend that the General Assem-
bly, grant liberal charter to responsible
and energetic men as State Immigra-
ton Society, and appropriate sa ade-
quste, annual sum to enable such society
to prosecute the work sOf immigration TO
Tennessee with more vigor and upon
larger and more systematic scale than it
has hitherto been done.
The present is an eminently suspicious
moment for @ movement OF this kind.
The election Of Grant and COlfsx means
peace; it means that carpet-baggers are
not to be molested in Tennessee; that
capital, coming 10 Us from abroad,
whether of brains or hands or money,
is not 70 be spurned, prescribed, perse-
cuted, because il comes from north Of q
given line; that here, as elsewhere, we
are to have peace, protection and security.
In pursuance OF this thought, and TO
aid in inducing the Influx OF capital and
labor among Us, recommend the Gene
raj Assembly to pass law exempting
from taxation, FOR FIVE years, all foreign
capital invested in machinery within our
State.

TIE CATTLE PLAGUE.

NV attention hss been called to the
TaVagss of the disease known as the
cattle plague or the Texas fever among
cattle, and also to the iDadequacy OF She
laws enacted by the several States for
the repression OF this and other kindred
diseases, and the conflicting provisions
ef these laws which have been disclosed
since the prevalence of the disease.
There should be concert of gs in all
the States 10 arrest tbs spread Of dis
ease which threatens to destroy all our
fiocks and herds, and so deprive US of
meat altogether, or furnish US diseased
article of food, which will scatter disease
among the people. To effect this uni.
formity and efficiency OF laws il sll the
States, it has been believed that the best
would be the assembling OF convention
of the several States interested in the
subject, who would represent ali the
varied interests of the producing and
consuming States, and supply al the in
formation necessary for the fuH eiucida-
tioa Of the sui sject, and whose duty it
should be to prepare 8 draft of law
which would insure a naost perfect pro.
lection to all parties, to be recommended
TO the several Legislatures for adoption.
The cattle commissioners of New
York, having been requested by the COM
nlissioners OF several OF the States, and
OF the dominion of Canada, to take the
initiative in calling such convention,
have recommended that a convention be
held in the city of Springfield, in the
State OF Illinois, on Tuesday, December
l, 1858, al twelve O'Clock at noon OF said
day. The object of such convention is
to consider the pathology, symptoma-
tology and history OF the Texas cattle
fever and other infectious and contagious
diseases to which cattle and other stock
are subject, and the best method Of pre-
venting the spread of such diseases with
reference to the interests of the producer
and consumer, ana also 10 consider the
sanitary requirements of the eommu-
atty with reference TO the feeding and
resting OF the animals in trapsitu, and
to the best methods Of slsughteFing and
preparing them for market. The con-
vention win also prepare draft of q
law which shall provide for the accom-
plishment OF these objects to be sub
mitted to the Legislatures of the States
represented there for adoption. Each
State and Province to be represented by
three commissioners.
1t seems to me these precautionary
measures are wise aud important, and ]
recommend you to take such early &C.
zion as shall represent Tennessee in the
proposed convention.

THE CAPITOL GROUNDS.

Your attention is called to the uafin-
ished and uDadorned condition Of the
grounds surrounding the State Capitol.
A building o. such magnificent and
beautiful proportions certainly. deserves
to be surrounded by grounds that would
enhance, rather than detraet from, its
general besuty. Yet sll can see that
these grounds are in condition rather
to excite disgust than to elicit admira-
| ton.
| submit that it would be wise econ
ony that would appropriate few thou
| ssnd dollars to the proper improvement
and ornamentatIon of the grounds imme.
diately around the Capitol, now so rude
and unsightiy. It would furnish en-
| ploymsDt 10 those who need it ; it would
! raise the character OF our State abroad
and SO induce immigration, and it would
crafty the just pride of every good citi-
zen who is interested Ia the growth and
| Improvement Of the S ate.

SALARIES OF CERTAIN oFFIoERs.
7 have found oonsiderable diff1culty !

l have found considerable difficulty in
filling the Supreme Court bench and the
Inferior courts with qualified and suit
able men, owing to the insufticieDey Of
the salaries allowed to Judges of the Su-
preme and ChaDcery and Circuit Courts.
No class of State officers DO as much
work for ss little pay as the judges. No
Offices in the State require more ability,
attention, and hard work, or deserve
equal remuneration. l must, therefore,
urge the General Assembly to fix the
salaries of these officers at sum that
I will better remuneEate them, and thus
/ secure an order Of talent and . degree of
/ industry " hich shall be creditable TO the
+ S.ate and uaeful to all parties.
/ I make q similar recommendation
concarnipg the salary OF the Governor.
/ The present SUM allowed him is entirely
| too low 10 sustain him in q style and
manner appropriate to large aud veal
| thy State like Tennessee, and 1t is less
| than equal services in other offices re-
/ ouire and receive. The present salary
was fixed when prices of sll goods we're
| much below the present rates.
In making this recommendation l can
not be deemed selfish, as 1t cannot per-
sonally benefit me. | shall soon ex-
change the office which hold at present
for ofls to which your votes have called
me. Besides this confederation, would
be estopped from receiving such In

/ IMMIGRATION.
j I have repeatedly called your attention
to the Importance Of promoting and in
ducing Immigration to our State. On
this subject my convictions have under.
gone no change, except that they have
become stronger. A great and pressing
want of Teunessee is an increased pro-
dueing population. This alone will de
veiop our wonderful resources and en-
! hanee our material wealth TO degree
that surpasses imagination. In its ab

with me, seeking to learn into what

names of twenty-five counties in all, to
