April. These are as general rule light,
and our gardeners avoid disasters by little
watching and care. Wehave quite num-
Der of professional gardeners, who raise
early fruits and vegetables for our city
market This business anywhere abeess
Knoxville, or on the line of the Knoxville
and Kentucky Railroad, must one day be
profitable trade, for as soon as the
railroad to Cincinnati is completed We can
seed early fruits and vegetables into the
Cincinnati market two weeks in advance
of their season. The climate seems par
tieularly suited to vegetables and fruits,
and d,asour seasons are long, 1T is not unusual
for gardeners to raise two crops during the
GEAR from the same piece of ground-tak-
ing the early spring for early fruits and
vegetables, and the long, fine growing fall
weather for maturing winter vegetables
sown In summer.
BY reference to the table published in
our article No. 2, it will be seen the
amount Of rain fall is pretty equally dis
tributed through the year, so that the sum-
mers are not as Objectionable for heat or
want of rain as is generally supposed.
The general effect of climate, then, may
be said to be to give East Tennessee all
the advantages of cold and very many of
the advantages Of a warm climate. Our
agricultural resources are similar as to pro-
ducts to those of Ohio or Illinois, and in
some respects similar to those of the Gulf
States. Our seasons are longer and give
the farmer not only more time for out
door work, but give him opportunities for
producing greater variety of articles.
We have in these articles on climate con-
fined ourselves as much as possible to the
subject itself. We shall have occasion all
along,in connection with other subjects, to
make reference to climate and its effects,
aAd probably present additional facts not
here given. We have in these articles
given facts which we think presentthis one
of the attractions of our section in very
fair light. We have been careful to avoid
exaggerations on the one hand and sup
preston of facts on the other. We think
here are some drawbacks to this climate,
as there are to all sections, but we have
given them as fairly as we have its attrac-
tions. A study of this table we have
given, and comparison of the facts stated
will, We think, make good our claim as
first stated, that, whether for mere health
fulness or for the work of the agricultur-
lists, our climate is one of the strongest at
fractions we have to present.
We invite the attention of our friends
interested in these articles to the facts
given in communications in other parts of
eur paper called forth by our eorrespon-
dents.

Payment of Claims to Melinda Harmon.

Mrs. Melinda Harmon, of Greene county,
Is the widow and mother of the Harmons
whose names have passed into the history
Of our country, for their participation in
burning the Lick Greek bridge. for doing
which they lost their lives. We are glad
to see our Government making fit,
though tardy, recognition of their services
by appropriating to the use of the widow
Harmon the sum below given. We have
receivedSenator Brownlow's remarks made
in the Senate, and give them i'm full, to-
gether with the proceedings had:
The Senator from Massachusetts, fMr.
Wilson] asks unanimous consent, on behalf
of the Senator from Tennessee, Mr..
Brownlow, ] that bill of local character
may be taken up, that he may make some
remarks upon it. Is there objection to this
proposition ? The Chair hears none.
The Senate. as in Committee Of the
Whole, proceeded to consider the bill III.
II. No. 2252) for the relief of Malinda Har-
I I1non, widow of Jacob Harmon, deceased,
of Greene county, Tennessee.
MIR. Brownlow.-Mr. President, the case
of the widow Harmon, of Greene county,
| East Tennessee, now before the Senate, is
without parallel in the developments of
| the late rebellion. When the facts are un-
derstood-and I will state them briefly
Senators will agree with me that Mrs.
Harmon's is one of the first claims which
should have been met by this Government
on the termination Of the war.
In the fall of 1851, Gen. Mcclellan, then
commander-in-chief of our armies, with
Others in authority, stipulated with pro-
minent Union men, then refugees from East
Tennessee in Washington. for the burn
| ing of all the railroad bridges between the
| Virginia line and Chattanooga, distance
| of two hundred and forty miles. Accord
ingly, Oh the night of the 9Th of November,
1851, precisely at midnight, these bridges
were all fired. On its part, the Govern
ment pledged itself to follow the burning
| of the bridges by the immediate occupa-
! ton of the country, thus protecting its
| agents in this work with the forces then
in Kentucky, on the Tennessee border,
under command of General George III.
! Thomas.
| The Government failed to carry out its
pledge. AS a consequence, the jails and
/ prisons all along the line of railroad were
filled with Union men, charged with bridge
burning. Jacob Harmon, an honest and
industrious German, and one of his sons,
residing in the vicinity where the LICK
creek bridge was burned, were thrown into
prison and soon after hanged at Knox
vile. While In prison, he executed a
! mortgage to one John Baxter, of a law
firm, upon his farm and home-a valuable
little farm, said to be worth SIS .000-with q
| view to his defense before q drum-head
court-martial. The trial before the court
martial was mockery. The counsel were
refused the facilities for defending the pris-
oners.
Judah P. Benjamin, the Secretary OF
War, and former Senator from Louisiana,
publicly issued aud printed an order which

ALMOST A RIOT.
Police OEeers Observation-Disclosures Res
sued-The Rfosers Capfnred
or Dispersed.

3 Last evening, about o'clock, officers Har-
per, Burchell, Clburn and Cole arrested three
colored employees of the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia Railroad Company. who were
making night hideous near the crossing north OF
the railroad. They started to the lock-up with
their prisoners, but as they arrived opposite the
Virginia shop, on Depot street, were attacked
by crowd of negroes, numbering twenty or
thirty, who rescued the prisoners and assaulted
the officers. Mr.. Harper was struck over the
head with bottle and pretty badly hurt and
MIR. Cole hit in the face. Harper then ordered
the other officers to go for ass stance and was
helped up town, where bis wounds were attend
ed to, and being rsverely injured, wan taken
home.
In very short time large number of young
me responded to the call. and thus reinforced,
the police went vigorously to work, and with
the assi tance of the citizens, succeeded in cap
turing nineteen of the rioters, several of whom
are thought to be wounded. One fellow, who
gave his name as Jesse Calpsopss was shot
below the knee with Smith Il Wesson pistol
ball, breaking no bones, however He was
taken up stairs in the police room a.d the wound
dressed. M
Several prisoners were taken off one Of the
engines who made a strong resistance, in which
pistols were used as well as less dangerous
weapons Officer Burehell was struck on the
shoulders with an iron crowbar, which narrowly
missed his head, and George Gilbert received y
blow on his arm. Several narrow escapes were
made from knife-thrusts and blows dealt, by
different parties. m
The cause of the Whole matter is summed up
in one word-whisky. The negroes were rail-
road hands and had been paid off yesterday,
and the most of them got drunk. They were to
have left town on the gravel train at o'clock,
but the train was detained in order to capture a.
many OF the rioters as possible. No one is
known to be seriously hurt at the hour of this
writing.

prosperity. In our opinion it holds out
greater inducements to business men than
any other city. But when the matter of
living comes up, the warmest friends of
the city are obliged to admit that in re-
spect to comfortable, convenient homes,
st. Louis has not at present the advan-
tages to offer that are found in our east
ern cities, or in its great rival, Chicago.
It's buildings are of an inferior class, and
its public improvements fewer, but they
proudly ask you to compare the debts of
the leading cities and take that point in
to consideration. In st. Louis all classes
American, English, German, French
Irish, Negroes. and Scandinaviap, and
with all this mixture Of nations, in a COM
paratively young city, we find it very
quiet and peacable. On making remark
to a citizen upon this subject, he informed
US that it was frequently spoken OF and
gave as one prominent reason that over
one-third of the working population was
German, whose peaceablo nature is known
and he also said that their custom of
drinking beer and wine was followed to a
great extent by classes who in other cities
take stronger liquors. We find an i'm
mense crowd in St. Louis, the hotels all
crammed to their utmost capacity, and
the streets full of strangers, all come to
visit the great St. Louis fair, which it
may surprise your readers to know is the
largest exhibition of the kind in the
United States. G.

from Europe to China that he gave his
attention to the construction of the Port
land and Rutland Railroad, which in fact
was but an extension of this intercolonial
railroad to the Pacific coast He spent
years in projecting it and then announced
what stands an undisputed fact, that the
continuation of the Halifax road from
Portland via White River Junction,
Woodstock, Rutland, Glens Falls, Oswe-
go thence to Chicago, made an air line
from Halifax to San Francisco, and the
shortest route between Europe and China.
1t was the aim of Mr.. Poor's life to have
accomplished its construction but death
