Our Approaching Fair.

Before that cruel war, that is held re-
sponsible for nearly all the disturbances
in our country, for the last ten years,
came along to upset and overthrow all
the desirable arrangements and institu-
lions in the land, the Eastern Division
Fair was the most interesting and i'm
portant annual event in East Tennessee.
A succession of highly successful exhi-
billions, from 1854 to 1860, had render
ed it, as was supposed, a fixed and per-
manent institution. It's recurrence from
year to year, drew to our Grounds the
products and fabrics of our entire sec
ton, so that scarce a county was unrep-
resented. The old and the young, the
grave and the gay, of both sexes, throng-
ed our city during the week, and it was,
indeed, a gala week.
Now hat the Fair has been re-estab-
lished upon a really better basis han
ever before, it requires only the cooper
ations Of our citizens to render it still
further successful than it was in the
years before the war. TIE Commits
sIoners are now distributing the Pre-
MUM List in pamphlet form, and all
our citizens should aid actively and ear
uestly in awakening a lively general III
terest in the enterprise throughout East
Tennessee. The merchants and manu-
facturers and men aud Indies Of means
in Nashville have set an example that
shows the true spirit, and is worthy of
imitation, in some degree at least, by
the business men of Knoxville. Near II
hundred individuals and firms have of
fered extra premiums to be awarded at
the Mechanical and Agricultural Fair to
be held in that city next month. With
such a zeal on the part of the citizens,
the Nashville Fair is bound to prove a
grand success. May we not soon an
nounce that the merchants and manu-
facturers of Knoxville have determined
to aid the Commissioners by adding
new attractions to the Fair?-[ Press

THE ENTERPRISE.
Sweetwater, Thursday, Sep. !, 1871.

WITH II standing army Of $4,000 men
ut his disposal, Gen, Sherman complains
that he has not men enough to prevent
the Indian deprcdations on our Western
Plains The truth is, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, the troops are in the
South, to carry elections and to Cypress
the people, instead of being in the West,
where alone they are needed. The self
ish and cruel policy Of the Administra-
ton sacrifices the lives and property of
the Western settlers. Just look at this
distribution Of force: South Carolina
nnd Georgia have each four companies
Of infantry, Florida and Mississippi each
three, Louisiana ten, Alabama six, Ar
kansas one, Tonnessee eight, Texas forty.
Most of the latter are, however, on the
Indian frontier of that extensive State,
There are ten companies in Kentucky,
II all these troops were semitic the West,
the pioneers would receive some protec-
ton and Gen. Sherman would have no
cause Of complaint.

The Hon. S. s. Cox on the "New De-
p%arture."

From his speech in San Frlnciscs, August %.
The people of California are Interested
more than any other in keeping close to
the letter of the Constitution and adher-
ing to Democratic principles. I accept
the new departure; but it is no new de-
parture. We can't repeal the Thirteenth,
Fourteenth or Fifteenth Amendments.
The Fifteenth Amendment is irrevocable.
Slavery is forever dead. We all under
stand that. The Fourteenth and Fiji
tconth Amendments give the negro po-
litical power. In the South they have
accepted that, and We also accept it.
We propose to fight on the new platform.
AL parties progress somewhat. The
Republican platform on which Lincoln
WIS elected, recognized. to a certain X
tent, the right of the Southern States.
The Democratic party must not turn
back to dead issues. The Republican
party favor o system of concentration
and compromising of power, They are
destroying our system of free govern
mcnt. Let the Democratic party hold
up it's banner, not in favor of secession,
for that was never in our creed, but let
them fight to maintain tho government
OF the people. :

LOOK at the following exhibit of the
expenses OF the Federal Administration
during the last year in which the Demo-
Gratis held power, and during the last
year in which the accounts are made up
of Radical expenditures. The Demo-
cratic expense for the fiscal year ending
June 40, 1860, was $77,492, 1922. In
contrast to this, the Radical expense for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1871, was
$iS2, 257,971.56. This makes an excess
of Sl04, 100, SGS.84, OF Radical expendi-
ture for ono year over Democratic OK
pendituro during an equal period. Both
tho years given arc years Of profound
peace.

TIE Washington Patriot says an en-
terprising individual in New York State
processes to be in possession of a secret
whereby the government is annually de-
irauded by cigar dealers Of hundreds of
thousands Of dollars, through the repeat
cd use of cigar stamps. He is willing to
tell the Internal Revenue Bureau all
about ii, but wants to be paid $4,000
for his secret. He is informed that the
government is not in the habit of doing
business in that way; that the treasury
does not purchase a "pig in poke" and
informed that if he will communicate his
information, and it proves valuable, he
may expect adequate compensation for
~imparting it.
