Oncnlng OF .he East Tenm. Unlxersily.

The winter session of the East Tennessee Uni
versity opened yesterday morning at o clock
with very hattering prosperity of success. a
gOodly number Of students and friends of the
institution were present. The exercises were
commenced by an address from President
Humes in which the students were reminded of
the protecting care of n kind Providence by
which they were again brought together, and
counseled to punctuality and general faithful
ness in the discharge of the duties before them.
At the conclusion Of his address President
lIumcs read n portion of Scripture, and was fol-
lowed by prayer from the Rev, Mr.. MoWbry
Profs, Nicholson and kirkpatrick were pres
ent and proceeded, in connection with the Presl-
dent to examine and classify new students, and
assign rooms to such rs expected to remain in
the dormitores
Prof Newman took charge of the Preparatory
Department, of which he is Principal and will
give students thorough training with view to
entering the college course.
1t was announced that Prols. Paine snd Allen
were daily expected to return from Europe and
take charge of their respective departments.
Prof Allen has been studying two years Mt the
University Of Leipsc whGge he has recently re-
ceived the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. He
returns with much experience and scholarly
ability to resume the chair of Professor. of
Ancient Languages. Prof Paine in his Flying
trip Of ninety days, has been examining the
schools of the Old World, and will, doubtless
be able TO introduce some of their most valuable
features
The Pres ident also announced that Professor
Knabe would take charge of the Musical De
partment and that an instructor in Drawing
would be provided.
Students were present from various counties
of East Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, &c,
and many more are expected by the first of next

A REPLY BY CARLYLE.-The curious
and troublesome" style of Carlyle is said
to be quite i'll contrast with his simple,
straightforward way of talking. Hatred OF
shame is one ofhis notable characteristics.
One evening, at small literary gathering
a lady, famous for her " muslin theology
was bewailing the wickedness of the Jews
in not receiving our Savior, and ended her
diatribe by expressing regret that He has
not appeared in our own time. "How de,
lighted" said she, 1--WE should all be to
throw our doors open to Him, and listen to
His divine precepts! Don't you think so,
Mr.. Carlyle? n
The sturdy philosopher, thus appealed
to, said, in his broad Scotch, No, madam,

fashionably dressed, with plenty ofmoney
and preaching doctrines palatable to the

of receiving from you card of invitation,

at that point:
1.-THE shock of an earthquake was felt
here at.11:15 A. NJ, October 90. 1t lasted
about a minute. The walls of the build

and even tables and chairs on the ground
floor had a sensible tremOr. At the time
of the shock a rumbling noise was heard.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-During the entire
week there has been squeeze in cash
gold. The supply of gold for daily use is
small and steadily decreasing, under the
ABSORPTION by the Treasury for duties. The
supply is concentrated in few hands en-

Relief to this scarcity will come shortly.
Exchange very dull and nominal. The on
ly feature of interestin Wall street to-day,
was the squeeze in cash gold at opening.
The borrowing rate was put up to a quar-
ter by one of the Canards. A rumOr that
the November interest would be anticipa-
ted OIL Monday, caused it to fall to one
eighth. The rumor was denied, and the
rate advanced as high as two for the use of
gold till Monday. This manipulation
completely demoralized foreign exchange.
Gold opened at 12sa12t, but late in the day
became firm and closed at Is. The scarcity
Of gold has never been so marked as it has

LONDON, Oct. 22.-The Prussians occu-
plying Orleans are committing such ex-
cesses that it is believed they are on the
pointaf having that p'-ee-snd-er deter
mined to leave nothing to the inhabitants.
The Prussians have been hastily sending
towards Paris enormous quantities of cat
tie and large supplies Of forage. Instances
of extreme cruelty by the Prussians are re-
ported from all parts of the country, which
make the latter desperate and determined
TO take no prisoners.
Over thirty Prussian spies who have
been arrested in different parts of France
were brought here to-day.
The sub-Prefect of st. Quentin has ar
rived here, having resigned his office be-
cause the municipal authorities refused to
defend the town the second time in case OF
an attack. In consequence of the refusal,
the town was captured by the Prussians,
who now hold it.

20 in for anything that shall improve the
mate rial interest of Knoxville; that shall
complete the railroads projected; that shall
make our river navigable the year round e;
that shall g i've the various manufacturing
interests of town work TO do; that shall
build up other much needed manufacturing
intereststhat shall foster the school inter-
ests generally and fill our agricultural col
lege with students.
We are thankful to Horace Maynard for
what he has done for us in the Halls of
our National Legislature. Loyal citizens
of the county appreciate this, and in the
| town work on the new Court House,
| though but Just commenced, has given
something of an impetus to business. But
! there is much yet for him to do. Claims
| for loyal citizens are to be looked after
the river to be improved and possibly adj
ditional legislation had as regards the
school fund. Who so well prepared 10 do
| this as one who is an influential member of
| the dominant party in Congress? Send a
man of the opposition there, and with
ever so good Intentions, he would fail of
doing much for us from the fact of his be-
ing in hopeless minority. Clearly then,
Horace Maynard is the man for us in the
coming Congress.
Precisely for the same reason, we would
send c. NJ. McGhee to Nashville. Though
in the call made upon him it was in the in
terests of the people, still it is notorious
that he is politically affiliated with the
majority there, and for that very reason he
could do more for us than any Republican
we could send there. More towards the
completion Of our railroads, more towards
giving the Agricultural College its dues
and to placing the finances Of the State up
on an uniform basis. Besides, he has the
social position and influence, the eleal
head and fine business talent that viii
make him power to he felt in any legis
lative assembly. f-
Therefore, let us ignore mere party
claims, and vote for Col. McGhee, whose
valuable services we, as a community
need, and should improve this opportuni
to avail ourselves of.
