1t is gratifying to notice the constantly
increasing interest manifested in different
parts of the State in reference to the
establishment of various manufactures.
When rightly conducted, they tend TO in
crease the wealth and prosperity of the
portions of country in their immediate
vicinity, and also provide useful, healthy,
and oftentimes very lucrative employ
ment. Massachusetts and many other
States have shown the importance of
these establishments.
The Knoxville Chronicle of the 26th
says "The following gentlemen-Gen.
Kyle, Maj. Mckinney and Gen. FGin, OF
Rogersville e arrived in this city yester-
day on business pertaining to the unifcs-
ton of the interests of the Rogersyille
and Jefferson and the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroads. We
understand it is designed to offer the
Presidency to Capt. Jaques, whose execu-
tive ability is recognized by all who know
him.
The Brownsville States says: awe
have one of the most f1ourishing inland
cities in all the southwest. In every
part of it the ring of the hammer can be
heard, and houses are springing up as II
by magic. The citizens of Brownsville
are thrifty, industrious, enterprising and
liberal. They contribute literally to all
public enterprises, and extend a generous
welcome to all strangers who may desire
to settle among them Tor the purpose OF
making an honest living"
The Paris Irlteiiigencer of the 26th
instant says: A very sad affair occurred
in Conyersville, last Friday night, in the
killing of Thomas Etheridge, by his
| brother-in-law, Luther Coleman. They
had previously been upon the very best
terms of friendship. 1t seems that Cole
man was under the influence of whisky,
and that Etheridge had been teasing him
until Coleman became very angry, and
said if he had pistol he would kill him.
| Etheridge, supposing he was only jesting,
handed him a pistol, when Coleman i'm
mediately fired, killing him almost in
stsntly; he then struck Etheridge on the
head with the pistol, and stabbed him
with g knife in the shoulder. Coleman
has fled the country.
The following from the Memphis Ap
peal contains some valuable food for re
Election. The suggestions in regard tt
manufactures are as applicable in Other
localities as in Memphis: eff one would
know whether manufacturing skill, an(
energy, and enterprise may prosper II
Memphis, there is an establishment which
illustrates the inquiry in all its aspects
1t was founded ouly three years ago. In
capital invested was the savings OF IRE
men, the best that ever run machine,
aud there was rich capital of energy
: and pluck, and horse sense, and tireles
toll and indomitable resolution. On thi
basis rests the fortunes of Randle I
Heath, of the Chickasaw Foundry an
Machine Shop. Their property, whic
was worth less than Sc, 600 two years age
is now assessed at $45, 900. 1t is neeC
less to say that manufactures will NJ
: flourish in Memphis. 1t is men of prope
elements of character that are wanting
5 and therefore such results are not Away
, attained. Their advertisement is signit
cant of their character. 1t is plai1
, strikes one full in the face; it is weight
and looks like huge signboard stretche
