THE REINTERMENT OF JOHN G. CAL
HoUN.--The remains of John G. Calhoun
eXhumed on Saturday morning, and re-
placed in the valut where they originally
reposed. 1t will be remembered by
chosen few that on the night preceding
the evacuation of Morris Island by the
Confederate forces, the bones of Calhoun
were taken from their vault, for OBVIOUS
reasons, and were laid in st. Philips
churchyard, to the east of the venerable
church. There the remains of our great
statesman have rested in peace during
these six eventful years. The rector, as
sistant rector and vestrymen of st. Phil
lips were present at the disinterment, and
followed the coffin rs it was borne to the
old vault, west of the church. 1t was in
deed solemn scene. While all else is
troubled and sad, the mighty spirit of
Calhoun stalks abroad, and his dust, its
wandering over, is laid for aye in the
humble, silent grave-laid in the bosom of
that Carolina which her wisest son loved
so long and well.-Ch0rIcstOH Neies.

The market reports will show you what
At will cost you to buy a years provision.
You can buy your corn, generally, on the
farm you rent, in the crib you will feed
FROM Your wood will cost you the labor
of cutting and hauling to the door. Your
garden, your irish potatoe patch, your
sweet potatoe patch, your tobacco patch,
are all rent free. Think of that, you who
are paying four to six dollars per cord for
wood, or nine to fifteen dollars per ton for
coal; you who rent gardens nearly twice
as large as q Dutch bed blanket, paying
therefor a sum which in ten years would
cover it over with greenbacks.
The houses on rented lands are not
palaces. They commonly consist of house
and kitchen. but little money judiciously
applied will make them comfortable. You
will not need to fortify against three days
snow-stOrms. Come here in September
You can see by the standing crops where
the good land is. Make your contracts,
and commence sowing wheat On or be-
fore the first of January you will get full
possession.
The whole thing is very simple. Get off
the cars at any station Take the main
road, and ask whoever you meet where you
can find good lands TO rent. He will tell
you of two or three farms. See the owners.
They Will invite you to dinner, TO supper
and to lodge with them. With the neces-
sary funds in your pocket, you can COM
mence sowing wheat, with your own team,
in ten days after leaving home.

FACTS ABOUT EAST TENNESSEE.
Practical suggestions.
NO. XVI.


We begin our sixteenth article by giving
the statement of correspondent, whose
communication, because of frankness and
practical suggestions, is of peculiar inter-
est and value. IL reaches just the class we
are anxious to see come TO East Tennessee
the class who want to take our lands and
work them, thereby adding TO our produc-
tive wealth, and to the intelligence, worth
and numbers of the solid people of our
country. We need more population, not
only men who will bring money and en-
bark in trade aud manufacturing but more
particularly men who will bring labor,
and direct it where we most need it-in
improving and making of value our waste
lands and half worked farms. We have
too much land worked indifferently. If
we will cut up our large farms and sell and
rent them to good men we will be better
off, To the class who want to rent or buy
farms the following is of interest:
EAST TENNESSEE BY CONNECTICUT
YANKEE.
know of my own observation, that
there are in the manufacturing villages of
my native State, hundreds of men who
were bred on farms, and who look, with
longing hearts, to the green fields, and
pine for the open air and healthy exercise
of farm life.
But farm life to them, where lands are
dear, is impossible eXcepta as hired la6orers.
From this they shrink, and still work on
in the deadly gasses of Rubber shops, and
the poisonous dust of brass working es-
adjustments.
Could these men be convinced of the adj
Tantages offered in this country, there is
l1O IOuht that many VOuld come. There
fore will / contribute my mite in the effort
now making to spread wide the desired in-
formation,
Firstly, then, there is no danger from llu-
kluX or any other khan. In proof of this,
let me give bit of personal history. In

Union men and rebels.
Secondly. Let no one who is willing

draws as little Inspiration from Italy (why not
use the bold word "Rome" at once?) as "a

Time and space prevent full review of "a

man." one who does not care a snap of his
finger for his Apostolic succession, and who
believes just as much of the Prayer Book as is
easy, and condemns those who believe it all and
live up to il.

spondence, there can be no more fitting way to
do 1t than by the expression of hearty aud sim
cere thanks for the many favors you have
granted to A PARIsHIoNER.
