The European Dispatches.

The Press Dispatches from Europe to
New York, during the last four weeks
numbered about 100000 words. New
York has been better posted on the issues
of the war each day than London, Paris,
or Berlin. These dispatches have almost
wholly been sent by single cable, tull
one-third of the whole TO n single daily
paper, and with marvellous rapidity and
accuracy. Familiar as we are with the
work of the telegraph, it has been marvel
to us. To hundreds of thousands of minds
the whole process is and has been deep
enigma.
HOW CYBLE DISPATCHES ARE TAKEN.
Here is man sitting in n darkened
room at Hearts Content. The ocean cable
terminates here. A fine wire attached
thereto is made to surround two small cores
OF soft iron. As the electric wave, pro-
duced by few pieces of copper and zinc at
Nalentia, passes through the wire these
cores become magnetic enough to move

The Tariff.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: The-e are DAYS
when truth and error are sometimes SO
closely matched that it is hard to tell
which will win the victory We see two
parties earnestly striving for the mastery,
and one says a tariff is all right and the
other says a tariff is all wrong Under
such circumstances, ii is well to argue the
question, that the truth may be made man
hest. 1t is generally conceded that man
utacturlng community is always the most
prosperous. The reasons are evident. The
manufacturer invests his capital, which is
an advantage 10 any place. He EMPLOYS
hundreds of men, and as these men must
eat, they purchase of the farmer his pro-
ducts, which otherwise he could not sell.
and as they must have something to wear
ana make them comfortable, they patronize
dealers in all kinds of merchandise. 1t is
safe to conclude that if 100000 were in
vested in manufacturing in Knoxville du-
ring 1870, that the circulating medium
would be increased just that amount. Well.
then, admitting that manufactures add TO
Inc wealth of all classes, how can we pro-
cure them? One party says, with a tariff
or taX-on foreign manufactures but the
other says, by doing this, you make me
pay more for my tools than ! ought to.
Well, to limited extent this is So For a
short time, the price will be higher than it
wonld be if we sent our farm produce TO
Europe and brought back their tools, for
over there they have everything in run
ming order, but it must be plain to eve
ry thinking man that if we can get
our manufactures started we will save
at the least calculation the cost of taking
our produce to Europe, distance of seve-
raj thousand miles and the cost of bring
ing back the manufactured articles. But
the actual saving would be much greater.
aside rom the great improvement of the
country and the advance in the price of
lands. This is the policy Of the party that
now and for some ten years has ruled the
nation. The experiment has been tried
ana found to fully verify the statements
made in this article. Foreign articles were
taxed; this raised the price, and capitalists
invested their money. What il the rcgulto
All and more than any one could have ex-
pected. The best land cheapest because il

COAL CREEK CONVENTION.
Numbers. Harmony and Enthusiasn.


The Republican delegates from Ander-
son and Campbell counties met in joint
convention at Coal Creek on Saturday the
10th inst, to nominate a candidate for Rep
resentative from the two counties in the
next General Assembly. Full delegations
were in attendance, accompanied 10y hosts
of Republican friends.
On motion of Edmond Gray, j. +. Chap
man was called TO the chair, temporarily,

ton appointed. The committee after n
short consultation recommended Captain
James n. Ray for President and Lieut. ).
II. Cliborn for Secretary, Henry r. Glib
son. Judge l.. c. Houk, and G. w. Sharp
were appointed a committee on resolutions.
After discussion and a report from the
committee on basis of representation, ere
dentials, &C., il was unanimously resolved
that each county should have one vote in
convention for every fifty Republican
voters, and that on this basis each county
was entitled TO thirteen votes; and further,
that no one should be declared the nomi-
nee of the convention, unless he received
three-fifths of the whole vote.
The President having announced that
nominations were in order, +. p. McNerr,
and John Hunley were nominated. On
the first ballot McNerr received u votes
and Hunly Il. After seven other ballots
with similar results, Hunley, IN patriotic
speech, requested that his name should be
withdrawn, which was accordingly done;
ana, InerSppoh, on morton OF Judge I1ouh

The Bridge,

We call the attention of not only the citizens
OF Knoxville and Knox county, bu: of tho ad-
joining counties, and of capitalists no matter
where they may reside, to the fact that no safer
or surer investment could be made than taking
stock in the bridge to be erected over the Hoi-
ston river at this place The Company has been
recently chartered, and is now in the hands of
prompt, energetic honest men Every one con
neeted with the enterprise is well and favorablv
known. Mr.. Matthew Nelson is soliciting sub
scrlptions in shares Of not less than one hundred
dollars in the city. Mr.. Jacob r. DOYLE. resi-
dence Knox county, south of the river. and Mr.
John Murphy, Of Sevierylle will give all ne
cessary Information on the subject, and receive
subscriptions. During the war Thomas built A
road over the mountains intending to reach into
North CorOlna, which wants but two miles of
completion. That road, finished into one of the
best fruit and grain-growing countries in the
southern or Middle States, would enable the
citizens to come to Knoxville market as the
nearest and best for them, thus passing over the
bridge at this place, and greatly Increasing the
revenue Let South America wake up. be
fully alive 10 their interest, and stimulate their
neigh bors to action. Remember, ten per cent
per annum the first year, and in less than five
years one hundred per cent. per annum. Call
on hessrs. Nelson, John Cruze, u. Il. Nc
Crosby, or any member mentioned in the char
ter, or 10 VIII r. McBath, and full information
will be given DEXTER.

lessons wfich might be drawn from
che wRr, Md said that one ofthese was
that the middle classes did not play
the part they ought to have played in
the struggle. They first sided with one
party and then with the other. The
result ofthe agitation was that Germany
was desolated, industry paralysed,
trade put q stop TO, and the heart Of the
people was broken. Tho German ma
ton as a united nation ceased to exist.
The bone and the marrow of the peo-
pie were gone. Having lost those pa
triohc ties which bind q people TO-
gether, was one of the reasons why
Germany was SO soon crushed in sub
seqnent wars. Having contrasted this
with our own country, in which the
middle classes had interested them
selves in the struggle between the up-
per and lower classes, be pointed out
that for people to take arms to assert
their rights would generally benefit
them very little indeed. Doing that
was something like burning the house
down to get at the roast pig, as was 80
charmingly described in the case Of the
Chinese by Charles Lamb in the essays
Of Ell" He advocated moral and
intellectual improvement as the true
method Of fsdvancement, and concluded
with paying high compliment to the
Equitable Pioneer of Rochdale. The
lecturer was loudly applauded.
