Visitors from Pennsylvania.

We had call yesterday from Henry Philips,
ESQ.,. and Mr.. William Bowen, of Hyde Park,
Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, who are iL
East Tennessee prospecting for coal and mineral
lands. on behalf Of the Miners and Laborers'
Benevolent Association Of their county, They
represent g large ,pital stock already paid in
and large additional stock to be subscribed by
the Welsh miners of the above Association, and
if pleased with our section will on their return
make such a report "a will bring to our section
hundreds of these estimable citizens. We hope
our citizens will show these visitors the atten-
ton they merit. They represent men of firm
christian principles, the bone and sinew of the
country, honest, and favorable always to good
churches, schools and laws, and make the most
valuable citizeus We can have. We hope they
NAV find in East Tennessee just such advan-
tages as they want and that they may come here
by the hundreds and thousands. We know our
people will welcome them.

Agricultural Interests.
SPRING GROVE FARM, Feb. 6, 1s6

SPRING GROVE FARM, Feb. 6, 1861.
MEssRs. EDIToRs-Having strong de-
sire to do anything that may be in my
power to advance the interests of agricul-
ture in East Tennessee, and believing
those interests to be intimately connected
with the prosperity of the Eastern Divis-
ion Fair, had thought of making some
suggestions for the consideration of those
who may have the direction of this part of
the programme of said fair, w: the
awarding of premiums. Should they be
deemed impracticable, no harm wi ] be
done; and if good should result, shall
be amply rewarded for my trouble. The
suggestions are these: The awarding, In
part at least, of agricultural books and pa
pers as premiums by the committee. What
farmers family would not be benefited,
and his business rendered more pleasant
as well as more profitable by the weekly
or monthly visits of some of our excellent
agricultural papers to his home? And,
besides these, there are now SO many
standard works upon the various topics
which interest the farmer such as stock
raising, underdraina re. fruit growing, &C.,
which are of incacu.able value. especially
to the inexperienced. The benefits to the
