EAST TENNESSEE RIVERS.

A prominent gentleman of this city not
ing the CHRONICLES efforts to dissent
nate valuable information concerning East
Tennessee, called our attention to fact,
vouched for by him, that there was not
county in East Tennessee but was watered
by river navigable, at some seasons at
least, for small craft. In response to our
request he has furnished us with a list of
the rivers, which he gives as follows =
1. North Fork Holston y. South Fork
Holston; 8. Watauga; 4. Doe; 5. Big
Pigeon; s. Little Pigeon; Z. Holston /;
s. Nolachucky or Chucky; 8. French
Broad 10. Clinch IL. Powells; II. Emo
ry, Big; 10. Little River; IA. Little Ten
nessee; Is. Tellico; Is. Tennessee; H..
Ocoee; IS. Hiwassee; 10. Piney; 20. Sc
quatchie; u. Little Emory %. Obeys
River; %. Big Clear South Fork.
Some of the streams are not very large
and perhaps ought not be classed as rivers,
but still we give the list as affording an il
lustration of the splendid water power of
this section. Can any other section of our
land, comprising SO large an extent of ter
ritory, show equal water advantages
Add to these rivers an almost innumerable
number of clear, rapid creeks, oftentimes
stfording splendid water power, and al
ways flowing clear, sparkling health Civ
ing water, and we know no finer watered
country can anywhere be found. 1t is Our
freedom from all stagnant water, from all
impure streams, from large bodies of still
water, that rid us of ague and chills and
kindred complaints. Looking at it for its
power or for its healthfulness and there
can no where be found country more
blessed in this respect than East Tennes-

WE have made few changes in the
make up" of the CHRONICLE, which
makes it proper for us to say in justice to
ourselves, that though our paper is OF
smaller size than our contemporary, we
print every day much larger amount Of
reading matter. Though our columns are
shorter, they in fact contain more matter.
We use smaller type, and that makes the
difference. We have been frequently
asked why We do not enlarge. What
would be the gain, if we did as others do,
use larger type and cover more space, but
in fact give no more reading matter
When we enlarge it viii be to give more
reading matter, not merely to issue q
larger sheet to deceive readers. 81

MAIL CONTRACTS IN THE SOUTH.

The Post Office Department has had no
little trouble recently over the failure of
parties in the South to fill contracts made
for carrying the mails. A number of these
failures have happened in Tennessee and
Alabama, and the Postmaster General has
made temporary contracts for carrying the
mails over such routes as have been con-
tracted for by linen of straw or by par
ties wholly irresponsible. We have rea-
sons to believe that in many instances,
there has been a deliberate attempt to
swindle and rob the Government in this
way. Irresponsible men have put in bids
for carrying the mail over certain routes,
knowing their inability to comply with
any contract that might be made with
Them and knowing that some one else
at the same time had in a bid at much
higher figures. Their bids have been
made in the interest of those having high.

IT now appears from positive proof that
the woman and little girl killed during
the riot in New York last Wednesday
were not shot by the troops, but were
killed by the mob-the woman for waving

scarf They ought not to have "offended''

The New York editors, we fear, do moi
properly appreciate the services the gallant
Fisk rendered the authorities in the sup
preston of the riot of the 18th. Thus the
Tines recounts bis services in the follow
ing style =" When the fight commenced,
the Colonel was absent from his beloved
battallions, like Sheridan at Winchester.
But he snuffed the battle afar off, and
needing only the instincts Of his reckless
courage, rushed at once to the field. He
did not even-wait to wax his moustache,
or to don his diamonds, or to secure an in
junction. And SO, without his most effec-
tive weapons, but trusting only to his UNI
familiar sword, he flung himself boldly
into the melee, What deeds of heroic
daring he would have achieved can only
be conjectured, for cruel fate in the guise OF
q rioter smote him treacherously on the
ankle, and toppled him into the gutter.
Like Achilles in yalor, he fifty shared
Achilles fate.
