The exports are: Hay, corn, wheat oats, |

small area around Powell's Station to the
Southern market.
The Knoxville and Kentucky Railroad
intersects the Valley about midway from
either end, and from the railroad depot,
Powell's Station, considerable shipping is
done as well as by steam and flat boats
from the mouth of Beaver Creek on Clinch
river, in the lower end of the Valley.
Wagon roads cross the Valley at inter
walls of about three miles throughout its
entire length, leading from the mountain
country to Knoxville. Powell's Station is
about eight and n half miles from Knox
vile. The central part of the Valley is
about seven miles from Knoxville. The
mineral resources are limited so far rs
known. White marble of good quality
exists near Powell's Station.
Northern immigration has set in, but rs
yet not more than per cent, if so much,
of the population is from the North.
Such immigration is gladly welcomed.
There is not a particle of proscrptve feel
ing among the people.
The moral tone is good. Churches, re-
presenting a number of the leading de-
! nominations, are scattered at intervals up
and down the valley. There are about
| eight or ten school houses and one or two
academies in the valley. Some of the
school houses are good frame buildings
others not so good. The State having no
general system of education, the schools
are not such as could be desired in most
cases. Sunday schools are in operation in
all neighborhoods.
Beaver Creek, being low flat stream,
there are but three mills situated upon it,
and these have capacity ranging from tC
II bushels per hour. The inhabitants de-
pend for grinding principally upon, nu'
merous mills situated conveniently neal
on the north slope of Copper Ridge, where
many fine streams burst out, and rushing
down the steep slopes into neighborinl
valley, afiorll excellent water-pOwer.
Beaver Creek Valley is well watered. |
is extremely rare to find farm whicl
does not have its spring of pure, running

scourge almost irrepressible.
Since the completion ofthe fine improve
ments on our Court house, Greeneville has
grown somewhat adventurous. She pro-
poses to substitute water for mean whisky /;
and, with that end in view, is having a
corner of the Court house square. When
completed, all thirsty loafers will be invi-
ted to draw upon the town pump for their
drinks, and it is hoped they will have
their drinks charged to them at no other
institution.
Saturday evening part of the literati of
our town met In the Circuit Court room
in the Court house, and proceeded to or
ganiZe literary association TO be known
as the Greeneviiie i4yceum. The object Of
the organization is intellectual entertain
ment and improvement. Lectures to be
delivered and essays read and literary
and scientific questions etc, at stated
times.

TICHBORNE.
The History OF n Butcher who Claims an
Ancient English BarnneIcy.


NEW York July 19-The Times special
correspondent writes as follows in regard
to the Tichborne case;
The information / give you will be the
first publication of the paradoXical fact
that the claimant is both Tichborne and
Orton. Scouting mystery, I proceed to the
solution.
When Roger G. Tichborne left England
for South America, his uncle, Sir James
Doughty, was in possession of the Itch
borne estates. He dying childless, the title
and estates fell to the claimants father
who also dying, his eldest son Roger c.,
would have inherited the estates had he
survived. AS it was believed that Roger
perished in 1858, in the shipwreck of the
ship Bella, in which he unquestionably
sailed from Rio for New York, Alfred, his
younger brother, succeeded, and he, dying
at the age of twenty-siX, left an infant,
who, had not the claimant appeared, would
unobstructedly, OH arriving at the legal
age, have assumed the title and proprie-
torship of the estates.
All these facts are not new to you but
this one is viz: That the claimants father
had an illegitimate child by his cook,
Mary Orton, sister of old Gen. OrtOn, who,
defense say, was claimants father, and
by whom claimant, under the name of Ar
| thur Orton, was brought up. The boy
was ignorant of his parentage and after
many strange vicissitudes settled in Aus
| tralia where he was found in 1865 under
| the name of Tom Castro, pursuing the
calling of his putative father, Il butcher.
| Old lady Tichborne was of an erratic
| and unsound mind, and, though thirteen
years had transpired without tidings of
| her long lost son, she was monOmaniaCal
on the subject, and not despairing ofhis be-
| ing alive, and continued to advertise and
| offer rewards.
There was in the family of the Itch
| borncs negro boy named Boyle, who
perhaps alone, was i'm the secret ofthe nat
ural sSn of the claimants father, who
would be half brother to the real Roger c.
and, like a cunning old negro rs he :s
went oil quickly to sydney, and ther,
finding Tom Castro, alias Arthur OrtOn
revealingto him the secret of his parcUtag'
and situation in relation to the title ant
estates of Tichbrone
With this revelation the mystery disap
pears, for from Boyle and Lady Iichborne
who was easily persuaded to recognize tht
claimant as her own son, the claimant nc
quircd his knowledge of the history of the
real Roger after his sixteenth year from
which time he resided in England. Wher
we remember that Boyle and the other ser
wants of the family knew but little of Rog
er's boyhood in France, we have an eXpla
nation of the remarkable fact that tn
