the trip ought to be made at the average rate

Dixie is no more. The once boosted
realm of King Cotton the dominion Of
the lash the empire of bondage the
oligarchy of bastard chivalry has lost
its unity, its power of sectional eo-ope-
ration and its dangerous strength. Wha,
Congress has attempted despite traitor
President, despite united minority,
despite assertions and despite the thou
sand difficulties which have beset its
action, has been crowned with success.
Clipped out of the Confederacy,
Arkansas within the Union breaks the
arch which made rebellion possible. The
other States of the long erring, long
suffering South will soon follow the
curse and stain of treason and the
blackened ruins of secession will be
wiped away and the fairest, richest
and most promising portion of this
broad land of North America will be
placed upon such basis of honorable
prosperity as will give to it and its
people proud share in the high des-
Tiny which awaits this Republic. The

TEXT Books IN SCHOOLS At the Cali

ported in favor of the exclusion of Quacken

favored Clarke's Grammar, but did not favor
Clarke's Geography. The report was accept.
ed, and variety Of opinions expressed in
favor of different text books on grammar,
particularly Green's, Clarke's and Browns,
and finally the institute voted in favor of re-
commencing Browns Grammar for adoption
in the State Board, instead Of Quackenboss'
An interesting and suggestive essay on
" Inevitable Grammar was then read BY A.
L. Fitzgerald. brother of the State Superir-
tendent, in which the nomenclature of the
common English grammar was criticised,
and quite number Of Improvements in the
terms employed, proposed.
DR. Henry Gibbons said the essay on gram
mar Just read, reminded him of the little boy
on his grandma's knee, that used the most
elaborate, learned lafinized terms to express
a very simple matter, which the old lady an
swered in utter surprise, and in the plainest
of English words (Which the Doctor repeat
ed, using the learned and the plain words,
and creating general laughter). The truth
is, teachers would train their pupils much
better by using the best and most grammatical
terms themselves than by any mere formal
instruction Of grammar.

LETTER FROM REV. A. F. WHITE.

KNOXVILLE, June 16, 1868.
THE DESERT AND FIRST RANGE OF NOUN
TAINs EAST OF STAR.
EDITOR APPEAL: On the morning O
the 1lth instant, Mr.. Watson and l de-
termined that we would explore The
desert and mountains east of the Star
range. Our course the first day was
south-easterly. Towards the center Of
thevalley we passed a ranch belonging
to Swiss by the name of Creadiger.
There is some degree of fertility in the
soil and vegetables are grown success
fully There is an air of neatness abou,
Mr.. Creadiger's ranch and residence
highly creditable to him as a farmer.
We had not proceeded mile from Mr.
Creadiger's before We were fairly upon
the opening of an extensive alkali fat,
which continues south for about twenty
miles filing the whole plain. A large
part of this fiat is covered with water
and soon our mules sunk above their
knees and then mired down. For a
mile and a half or two miles this
swamp continued almost impossible
By leaving our saddles and carefully
picking our way we at last succeeded in
getting our mules across. We brought
up our saddles on our shoulders. We
were we'll covered with alkali mud, and
water soon after, flowing from the
east of US, in which we did
our additions with great satisfaction.
A little before sunset We entered
broad canyon and soon came upon Sen
ator Hutchin's mining cabin. There
was no one there, but we found ample
provisions, took possession and made
ourselves at home generally. The next
morning after breakfast we examined .
curious rock which stands two or three
nundred yards southeast of the cabin
It is perfectly balanced on a small ped
sstal and weighs twenty or perhaps
hirty tons, and stands on the brow of

position. Its length is about fifteen
eet and its hight about the same, with
10 other projecting rock in the vicinity.

Iutchins is opening a mine near by
vhich promises well but needs develop
1ent before its real value can be es.i-

red with the finest bunch grass. There
re three or four varieties. The pre-
ailing rock 10 the vicinity is quartzite.
