OUR SCHOOL INTERESTS.

With deep regret we have heard a few
voters express their intention of voting
against the two and a half mill tax on the
dollar, for school purposes. They are gen.
orally men who have no children to edu-
cate, and defend their hostility to The mea-
sure, trof the fact that they haze no
children, and by the argument that they
should not be taxed to educate; the 3hll-
dren of others. Now this is really sd ar
gument at all. Civilization, refinement
and elevated society," Aorality, christian
ity and the inevitable results of an univer-
sal education, as a general proposition,
they succeed the edu4hted mind as surely
and Systematically AZ darkness succeeds
the light. Nay, we think we would be
asserting strict truth in saying they are
concomitants. 1t is undeniable that in
Tennessee, we stand in great need of ed
ucational facilities, and that even those,
of both sexes, who have just attained a
majority are i'll prepared for the demands
of life, for the want of study and instruc-
ton. We have no educational facilities,
at least to the degree of reaching the poor
er class, because there has been no ade-
quate legislation, providing the means to
meet their wants. And then during the
four years war, all schools were suspend
ed, and those who were able to educate
their children had no primary or collegi-
ate opportunities. This deprivation may
work out a partial fatality In the end, but
we have it now in our power to avail our
selves of a provision, which certainly must
be better than nothing. Every educated
mind adds some benefit to the country,
and all must share alike in it, and he who
refuses to support any law or enterprise
to develop its mental u because
he has not the prospect of immediate good,
would willingly see the world in Ignorance,
before he would spend a dollar for its en-
lightenment.
We are glad to say that there are quite
a number of u citizens, who will not be
personally and Immediately benefited by
free schools, who are strong advocates of
the two ard a half mill tax. They are
men who have a public pride and spirit
men of enlarged comprehension and lib
eral and expansive views. They are not
terrified by a paltry taxation. nor do they
think of bankruptcy when called upon for
a pittance to meet a great and an appeal
ing necessity. Mr.. Max L. Mayer. a large
hearted citizen of this place. informs us he
will not only vote for the two and a half mill
tax, but will be one of a number, to con-
tribute besides one hundred dollars to the

The oat yield in this State, last year
was $500, 900 bushels. Per acre sixteen
and one-seventh bushels. Tobacco crop,

Tennessee has 6,705,33S acres of improv-
ed land, and 13,S73,s2S acres unimprov-
ed. 1t will be seen from these figures
that the cultivated land amounts to only
near one-third Of the area of the State
Counting out the forests and mountain
lands, at least one-third moro can be cultl-
waited, and our productions doubly increas-
ed. Have we the labor to do this? This
is the question. If VIZ have not, we can
obtain it by offering inducements to the
immigrants swarming to the Western
States. Assure them of a welcome-en-
courage them when they do come. and
they will not only cause the waste places
to bloom and blossom as the rose, but will
infuse energy, activity and animation into
every artery of trade and enterprise.

Norway Oats.

Some of our readers may have noticed
All advertisement of ID. w. Ramsdell,
purporting to caution persons against pur-
chasing Norway Oats from Messrs. Hough
& Church, of Knoxville, alleging that the
oats that firm offered for sale we're not as
good as his, simply because they were
sold at a less price than Ramsdell asked.
The GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf vindicates
Messrs. Hough & Church in the following
article:
Justice to ourselves, and to one of the
most reliable houses in Knoxville COM
pels us to notice an advertisement APP
pearing in the GAINESVILLE Chronicle,
warning the people against bogus Norway
Oats. The advertisement was sent to us
and we declined to publish it at the low
price of two dollars for when we have such
favors to bestow we reserve them for local
patrons. The oats which Messrs. Hough
4 Church advertise are raised by them.
They were first agents of Ramsdell, and
then raising a crop of their W continued
to sell for Ramsdell. Last year, raising
a large crop they split with Ramsdell on
the price, he not being willing to
take less than five dollars, they deter
mined to sell for three, and copyrighted a
new trade mark. These oats were raised
by this enterprising Southern seed house
and their right to sell is the same as that
of any farmer to sell his crop at his own
price. These oats are in high favor in
East Tennessee, as we know from hearing
it spoken of by farmers there last summer
and the house is reliable, and we give our
personal word for it.
Messre. Hough & Church are reliable as
well as energetic and we also bear person
al testimony to their fair dealing and in

WE learn from the Cincinnati Times,
that on last Thursday, a number of salt
manufacturers from different points in the
Union, held a secret meeting in that city,
for the purpose of forming an association
to regulate the price of salt throughout
the country. A portion of their plan is
reported to be a partition off the country
into districts, with the idea of confirming
the business of firms in different sections of
the country within certain limits, SO that
they may not encroach upon the business
naturally belonging to each other, and reg
ulate the price of salt, as they may de-
sire.

the most appalling of which is the loss of
