On yesterday morning Catharine Bean, wife
of Riley Bean, n shoemaker who lives on Union
street, between State and Crozier was arrested
on q warrant issued by the Recorder charging
her with cruelty chastising n little boy, her
step-son, and brought before that official for
trial. #. .."
The child Burrel Bean, who is only nine
wears old, was also brought in court and his in
iuries examined. lie had been whipped from
his head to his heels and presented q most pitt
able sight his body being covered with wells
and bruises, the marks of recent beatings, while
his arms bore wounds inflicted, he says, by the
teeth of his step-mother in her I'M
natural rage, and his hands were
swollen to twice their natural size by the bites
inflicted by the rabid woman or we should
say, savage embodiment of ferocity in female
form, for none having any womanly feeling in
their breas would indulge in such as was evine-
cd by the scars and marks inflicted on the un-
fortunate child. The swelling was so great that
he could not pull his coat sleeves over his hands
without causing great pain, and in addition TO
| the blows and bites inflicted with refinement
| of cruelty not often witnessed, thank God, the
little fellow was driven out of doors in the pierc-

torture from the inclemeney of the wealth or.
Yesterday morning, when the officer went

II 1.-THE marble quarries OF Vermont are literally
mines of wealth. Some of the mills in which tho
marble is sawed are valued Of 100000; they are
operated by both steam and water power, and
more than 600 men are employed, y Er N
So It is as regards every source Of wealth, and
the secret OF it is population and ready ACCESS
TO market for the commodities Of any country.
Here in East Tenneasee there are tho finest de-
posts of marble in the world, equaling that Of
Paros and Carera, as well as the raro and beau
tfll yariegated variety iraro everywhere else,
but here so plentiful as to be used for the com
monet purposes, either broken in fragments
and put on our m0cadenized roads or roughly
shaped as curbing for sidewalks. i.pA =
Tho finest marble in East Tennessee Is, per
haps to be found in Hawkins county, With an
abundant though unimproved water power, and
the latter is equally true throughout our whole
mountain country. But marble is not confined
to any one county, by any means only a few
miles from Knoxville q quarry of superior Stone
has been opened, which is being put in shape by
skillful hands for the custom house. and IL Is
known that only the best material is used in the
construction Of such buildings. II,
But notwithstanding our unequaled natural
advantage, for lack of q dense population, we
suffer them TO lie idle and unirnproved, whilo
other less favored sections grow rich by the
manufacture of those articles we have in such
lavish abundance, with all the adjuncts neces-
sary TO their complete development and making
Of them mine Of wealth more desirable than the
golden lodges of Idaho or tho sands of California,
for there flock the desperate and the rufian,
while here with population and capital at their
back would be found community on community
of industrious artisans and lahorers of all kinds
dependent on the farmers for their pro duets,
who in turn would be vastly the gamer, by
being enabled to sell their surplus at their very
doors for far moro than is now realized by ship
ment with the risk that always attend CONNER
cial transactions.

Morristown is situated AZ miles east Of Knox
vile, on the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad, and is one of the most thriv-
ing places in Upper East Tennessee. 1t is q
place of recent growth, having been incorpo-
rated in 1856 1t was re-incorporated in 1866,
ten years later, and contains about !, 100 inhab-
itants. The town owes its rapid growth and
perhaps its existence to its being a railroad
centre. The projected Cincinnati, Cumberland
Gap and Charleston Railroad crosses the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Road at this
point, and forty miles have already been COM
pleted south of Morristown to the North Caro-
lima line. This road leads through some fine
country along the French Broad river and a
good quantity Of produce, lumber, shingles
&c, are exported,
Morristown is supported by a good country,
1t is we'll supplied with schools, churches, ho-
tells, &c. 1t has high school of which Rev. A,
w. Wilson and j. A. Carriger are principals,
also q Masonic Female Academy Rev. Il. p.

Newspapers are not MS numerous rs in other

Its manufactures are few, among which is Il

Morristown has lately been made the county
