OUR DISPATCHES.

The Associated Press Agent at Washing
ton does not yet know the first principle
of his duties. He is paid by the press OF
the South to send ncscs, and not his views
of public measures or men. five want the
views of any msn by telegraph, we would
prefer, so far as we are concerned, to pay
for those of men of better judgment. He
has no more right to fill his dispatches
with his slang abuse of the President, or
his advisers, than he has to interpolate his
own personal opinions in the market re-
ports OF financial quotations. We have
endured his infections without remon-
STRANGE as long as we think we ought to.
We cannot always revise his dispatches
and leave out Objectionable portions, for it
often mars the value of the news items
mingled with them. We ought not to
complain, herhaps, for we do not see how
we can remedy the matter but we feel
called upon, in explanation of very objec-
tionable passages in his kilograms, to state
our views on the subject. If he win send
the press facts, and gather them with lit
tie more care and diligence, we know he
will give better satisfaction. We frequent
" get news items by mail but few hours
later than his dispatches. We hope the
proper authorithy will note our'complaint
and remedy the evil.

WHAT HAS EAST TENNESSEE TO FEARi

A disreputable sheet published in this
city. that has never lost an opportunity to
misrepresent and SANDER the people OF East
Tennessee, is dreadfully indignant about
the ISLANDERS heaped Iuponlthe,people Of the
south because of shameful outrages that
have characterized several States. Now,
who has done as much to circulate delibe-
rate falsehoods about East Tennessee as 1t
hasY A few weeks ago, when the disturb
anee between the city police and the color
cd hands of the railroad, took place, it de-
liberately invented and circulated the
falsehood that the riot was iDeited by ''rad-
icalsp of this city for the purpose OF pro-
voking Congressional interference. Not a
man in Knoxville but what knew it was
false. And yet they circulated it and it
was published far and wide, for we saw 1t
In exchanges from every State. Now,
what would stranger think Of commu-
nily that would be infested with such MODS
and mob leaders? Then again, who does
not remember its outrageous libel on
Blount county, for which its publishers
are now criminally indicted? That story
was false, and circulated far and wide
through its efforts.
In view of these facts, who can have
any respect for its sycophantic whin-
ines about ISLANDERS on the Southern peo-
ple.p Is there man in this community
that does not know that they would Sian.
der this or any other community IL they
could make dollar by it? What has East
Tennessee to fear from Ku-klux investiga.
tions 2 We ought to court them. No
where in the South is there such peace,
prosperity and security for property and
life as in East Tennessee. Unfortunately
for Us, in Kentucky, Georgia and South
Carolina great outrages are perpetrated.
Life and property are not secure in some
sections Of those States, as any fair-minded
man must see from good Democratic au-
thority. Stories about these sections are
sent abroad, and often the exact locality is
forgotten and the South generally suffers.
Is this the fault of the papers that publish
the outrages, or the violent men who COM
NIT them? As East Tennessee is freefrom
such infections, we ought to be glad te
have an opportunity to prove it to the
world. We want to see these outrages
suppressed, the guilty parties punished
and the innocent communities relieved Of
the odium unjustly resting upon them.
For this reason we do not fear legislation
or investigations looking to the punish
ment of the guilty. Knowing the entire
innorenee of Fast Tennessee we challenge
all reports and Investigations.

POSTMASTER GENERAL CREswELL, de-
sirous of giving the people along the line
of the Louisville and Lexington Railroad
mail facilities as soon as it could be safely
done, addressed q polite note to Hon. James
b. Beck, member of Congress from Ken
lucky, asking his opinion on the subject.
Mr. Beck, instead of giving him straight
forward and respectful opinion, made it the
occasion of writing Mr.. Creswell a long
and insolent letter, closing with the state
ment that he didn't suppose anything he
might say would have any influence, and
thst he expected to publish the.letter to
his constituents through the press. This
Is true Kentucky grit.
A certain class of Southern poiiti-
clans have become proyerbial for their bull
living style. Upon this they rely to carry
their points, and many of them affect to
hold In contempt any man who wiz treat
q political opponent as gentleman. The
Postmaster General, we have no doubt,
viii convince Mr.. Beck and the authors OF
these Kentucky outrages that ne has
mind of his own, and while he is willing
to accept friendly advice, that he is not to
beblufIed by every man who tries to play
the game Of q bully. s---a

ST. Dom1neo comm1ssroxERv REPORT.

A dispatch from Key West says that the
st. Domingo Commissioners would leave
the Tennessee at Savannah, and take the
ears for Washington. The report is favor
able to immediate annexation, as it is said
Baez, whom Dir. Wade regards as the de
Iacto President of the Republic, cannot
maintain his ascendancy until December.
Cabral the report terms mere bandit, liv-
ing in mountain district supported by the
Haytians. The people of st. Domingo,
Mr.. Wade says, arc overwhelmingly in fa-
vor of annexation, and are a quiet, order
ly, industrious people. The report closes
as follows: To embrace this opportunity
to plant our republican institutions and
establish civil liberty and American civili-
cation upon that beautiful and productive
island, thus laying the groundwork Of a
great, free and prosperous State, would add
another to the achievements of our repub-
lie worthy to rank with the great events of
our history, and would be equally benefi-
cial to the people of both countries" -
The New York Herald correspondent
says:
'iDr. Howe endorses NJ. Wade's report in
every essential particular. As the various
meetings which have been held during the last
forty-eight hours the subject has been thorough
~ discussed. Mr. White objects TO the closing
In his determination that il shall not be stricken

will sign it. Mr.. White is writing some ideas
of his own, principally historical, which he
wishes to insert in the report, and which If in

WOOL GROWING As A BUSINESS.

We were favored yesterday with call
from Mr.. ]. w. Stitt, of New York, and
Mr.. Peterson, Of Boston, who have been on
an extensive tour through the Southern
States. They have been reading our arti-
Giles containing facts about East Tennessee,
and stopped in Knoxville twenty-four
hours for the purpose Of seeing us, having
come up from Chattanooga. Mr.. Stitt is a
member Of the firm Of Stitt Il Underhi1,
manufacturers of woolens, in the city of
New York. He was enthusiastic over the
advantages presented in East Tennessee
for raising sheep. He thinks it might be
made very profitable business here, the
climate and soil being admirably adapted
to such pursuit. .glt VIZ.
We have no doubt of the correctness of
his position. Good mutton is always in
demand. We might supply our own
market with first rate mutton, and ship
thousands of sheep every season to the
southern and eastern cities. With good
qnaiity of sheep, well fed and properly
prepared for market, this business would
always prove remunerative.
In addition to this, factories ought to be
erected, and wooden goods manufactured.
We ought to commence at once the manu-
facture of the coarser wooden fabrics which
would not require expensive machine
ny. Themanufactureo Of finer fabrics would
soon follow. We believe the business has
been already commenced in Carter county,
and we hope to see it become one Of our
chief industries. There are some advan-
tages attending this business which the
manufacture of iron and heavy articles
have not got Wooden goods are Iight, and
freight is consequently less. This is quite
an item here where complaints at high
freight tariffs are so numerous. Will not
some enterprising gentleman with suffi-
eient capital give this subject some
thought, and ascertain by actual expert
| ment what we are annually losing by not
raising more sheep? Wewere glad to hear
Mr.. Stitt say that he was going to bring
the subject before his friends Of the North
who are interested in this business, and
see if he could not induce them to bring
| some of their fine bucks into East Tennes'
see, and assist in improving our stock.
