THE CHRONICLE FOR 1871
a NEW FEATURE.
Facts about East Tennessee |!
FOSTERING HOME INTERESTS.

We propose TO begin, on or about the Isl
OF January next, the publication of a series
Of articles on the Climate, Soil, produc-
lions, Minerals, Resources and General
Attractions offered by East Tennessee to
Immigrants. These articles will give facts
md figures, compiled with great care, and
The object of their publication is to furnish
general information to the great and grow
ing class of men scattered all over the
Northern States who are now, and have
been for some time, looking towards East
tennessee as place where, if sufficient at
fractions were presented, they might be
induced to locate. The great need of such
information has been realized by us after
an extended trip North and East, and we
nope by this means TO be able TO give cir
culatlon to facts concerning our greatly ia
Vored section which, if once under TODD
will certainly draw to our d1eNz n
part at least of the greats of
immigrants that yearly add to tbs, ,optla-
ion and wealth of the mighty North
West That q general diffusion of such
information will result in great good to us
NAA~AS NtNAA ~ lAO pOS7lDIt OOuIt, LOT we nave
in our genial climate and great natural
advantages the very attractions desired by
so many. The facts, if once understood,
are all we need. While the growing States
Of the West are constant in their efforts to
attract the immigrant, we are content TO sit
quietly by and see the tide sweep unceas-
ingly past, ever enriching and strengthen
1r-l,N ,N,,t -
it.
Believing that through such means more
Than any other our future growth is to be
secured, we have determined to direct our
efforts in the channel named and promise
10 make them as thorough and eff
cient as possible IT will be our
aim to publish rs much as two columns of
3uch information in every issue of our
WEEKLY. A portion of this space, and
some additional to the two columns when
necessary, will be devoted to giving an
swers to all inteTogatories propounded
hy correspondents touching the points of
interest to immigrants. In this way we
hope to awaken an interest in this subject
amoGg our own people, and be the means
Of attracting attention to what we believe
TO be our unsurpassed resources and adj
yantages.
TO aid in this good work we hope to
have the cooperation of all our citizens.
and shall be glad to have from them COM
munications giving facts and figures peril
uent to the object in view Of any such aid
viii be fully appreciated and used to the
best advantage possible. Any mcteorolo-
sical tables, facts about crops, minerals,
timber, stock, lands, &C., will be especially
useful and acceptable. All such facts will
be compiled and presented systematically,
in the most attractive way.
The work is one of benefit to the public
generally, and we hope to be aided in
every practicable way in its prosecution.

The red cloud Of war that has hovered
suddenly, and healthful light again
foods her hills and pleasant valleys. An
armistice has been signed by the repre-
continue twenty-five days, the military
situation to remain unchanged mean
time, and all non conbatants to be free to
go and come and and transport every
thing except munitions Of war
The conclusion OF the armistice is cred
liable to both the hostile parties. Eng
gland is entitled to no praise for her diIa-
tory success; but the authorities at
Tours could not do wiser thing, nor
Bismarck q more generous thing than to
accept Granville proposition as basis
Of peace.
Little is said about the definite coDdi-
tions Of the final peace, for this must be
the result Of treaty to which the Con-
stituent Assembly, as yet unborn, is to
be party but there can be 10 doubt
that this body of legislators will be chos
en- and sent to the capital on the simple
platform of peace. "Stop the war
is the only instructions they will receive
from their rustic constituency. Paris Is
angry and hot booded, assaiied and full
of fierce resentment: but the districts
outside have been defeated in battle
after battle, overrun by the steady ad
vance Of the Teutons, as the same prov
inces were once overrun by the impetu-
ons Huns, under Attila, the Scourge OF
God. TIE simple peasants have wit
messed the resistless onset and felt the
enemy's heel; they know, as all the
world outside Of France known, that fur
ther resistance is madness.
King Williams soldiers stand still,
with ready muskets stacked, and the seq
tincl cannot rest upon the city walls,
ready to sweep the plain-but it is not
probable shat any more blood viii be
split All the signs of the time point
steadily towards peace.
