day the most wealthy and prosperous
country on the globe, when we on
slider her population. Now, if the
opportunity were offeredto the people
of the South TO go to China and con-
troll her commerce, superintend the
construction, equipment and oper-
alton of the thousands Of miles OF rail-
ways necessary to so numerous a peo-
pie and so largea an area, to build navies
of steamships and navigate them
in other words, to rule, govern, con-
troll, and be prOfted by the wealth
and labor of that people, there is not
a question but that we would go and
take possession. That, however, is
not possible, but the next thing TO 1t
is. We may move as much of the
Chinese population here as we wish;
we may make this great country OF
ours what she ought and viii be-the
seat of Empire on this continent.
We trust that the Convention to as
semble to-day will make some practi-
cal and decided move in the premises
before it adjourns.

Letter from Paducah.

PADUCAH, July q, 1869.
Editors Appeal; AS 8 Memphian /
am Jealous of Paducah, her beautiful
streets and suburban comforts, her
splendid hotel with its g~entlemanly
chief, d. p. Gentry, Esq, yet | am a
fearless believer in the future of the
Bluff City. Hergrowth is slower than
of yOre, but more healthful. As we
have said on many occasions, and we
now put in a repeater, Memphis is the
geographical, hence the commercial,
center of one of the most magnificent
domains on the earth, and her adj
Vancement, While may be retarded
by unwise legislation and i~ll-directed
capital, has a prestige of position that
no combination, lawful or otherwise,
can deprive her of. However, we be-
lieye there is room for other points;
and even if We ere bigOted on the in
terests of the "Egypti2n green" of
the valley, we viii accord to the beau
tiful little city of Paducah the rank Of
second in the race for metropolitan
precedence in the valley Of the Missis-
sippi.
The Fourth of July was observed III

Company Ct that city, were the guests
of the gallant Fire Company of this

Among the distinguished gentlemen
on board representing the press, was
Mr.. Thomas Nalig, formerly OF the
Memphis press, now of the Cairo But
letin-the senior of that paper, John
Oberly, Esq, having SO far forgotten
himself as to assume the position OF
Mayor of Cairo. The excursion was q

We are indebted to Col. Noble, of

John Martin, jr., for attentions that do
not exist without the latch of an ed

is in the womb of the future.

FLETCHER wants it to be under
stood that the people of Tennessee
will take advantage of a Constitu-
tional Convention to wipe out existing
offices and officers in a spirit of mean
revenge for past political grievances.
The Secretary does us injustice. We
do not think there is any such feeling
harbOred by any considerable portion
Of the Conservatives of the State.
They desire and viii have a COnven-
ton, but il viii be for the purpose of
amending the organic law in such way
as TO secure complete Acknowledgement,
prevent hereafter any usurpations by
Governors, and save, rs much as law

b~ankrupted.

forced open the safe, after breaking of
the steel plates. They were so long in do
ing this part of the Job that day broke
upon them just S they were on the point
of securing the contents of the safe, and
they were compelled to make their escape
without the plumber which they labored
so industriously to obtain. They retreat
ed so hastily that they forgot Their tools,
and the whole kit fell into the hands OF
the officers of the bank. The safe was so
badly battered up that Il was impossible
TO open it. Burglars have been particu-
larry active in that vicinity of late.
The British Lords of Admiralty

Majesty's ships to discontinue the use OF

hair of the beard, moustaches, and whis-

and not too long for cleanliness. Care is
to be taken that those officers and men
who avail themselves of the privilege are
no to be whimsical. The beard is not to
be worn without m~oustaches, nor the
latter without the former.
Recently Jeptha Smith, a young
man of eighteen, living near Cassville,
Barry county, Mo, slipped and fell over
a bluff at Carlisle's mill. He first fell a
distance of forty-ive feet, alighting on
his feet. Here he rebounded and fell an
other thirty feet, bringing up on his Shout
ders; and then, by a series of falls of ten
or twelve feet at a time, brought up against
a tree, making a distance of some hun
bred feet in all. Singularly he sustained
no serious injuries, and was about as usual
in a few days.
An Ohio paper predicts that, in q
very few years, there will be tens of thou

tails, genuine or counterfeit, at the back;
Of their heads. And probably each vel
low voter, to make sur Of not being hum.

WE learn that Col. A. ]. Roach,
heretofore acting with the STOKES
Radicals, though a suffrage man, has

THE TO-DAY.

We suggest that the most impOr-
tant assemblage is to convene to-
day that our city has ever seen.
The first move towards turning the
tide of Chinese immigration hither-
ward is to be made. We earnestly
hope that every citizen having at
heart the welfare of city, State and
section will meet to give and receive
counsel. We trust that the ladies viii
not fail to grace the occasion with
their presence. We are all interested.

GREAT ado is being made by some
prominent papers in the State over
the vindictive threat of STOKES, that,
in case of his failure before the people,
he will cause Tennessee to be remand
ed back to military government, with
himself for Governor. We have no
doubt the Bald Eagle" has arranged
for some such programme, but we do
not believe he has the ability or GRANT
the power to carry it out. The time
has passed when such an outrage upon
the rights and liberties of the people
could even be attempted. lift should
be, we hope SENTER has backbone
enough to resist it, if necessary by the
whole military power of the State.
We advise the Governor that if
STOKES continues to indulge in this
sort of seditiOn, he be arrested under
the sedition law, and tried in some
county where the militia still exist,
that he may be dealt with as he de
serves

THERE is an important European
immigration movement on foot, in
which some of our leading citizens are
interested, and for whom Col. How
ARD is acting as agent in Berlin, Prus-
STA. A meeting has recently been
held in Savannah whereat it was
elected that the Colonel had contracted
in Berlin for a half interest in twelve
steamers, by transfer OfTennessee lands
the lands to be occupied with set
tiers, and the steamers to bring imni-
grants and trade. Letters were read
from Bismarck and the King of Prus-
STA, wishing direct trade with the
South for cotton, linen and silk goods,
and porcelain and wares. Donations
of land were offered for immigrants,
andthe railroads promised cheap fares
to help the movement. A committee
of five was appointed to report upon
the matter. Committee-Gen. Jos. E.
