ueIi'S 10 Play.

When Stokes was about to be detcc-
ted in his stealing, he wrote his
friend asking him to "caH around
adding, ''hell's to play" For once
he'll seems to have pretty mellow
farce Stokes was charged with de-
lrawdiny the government by consplr-
inc with others who were increasing
the number of Beaty's scouts on pa
per to 100 men, when he well knew
there were less that City of them.
This was proved by Stokes own let
tiers, yet be xas simply tried upon
the charge of receiving pay for pros
ecution clahns against the govern
ment while a member of Congress.
For that service he got $40, GEO, and
was fined $1,000. Pretty sharp
transaction a radical Editor says,
that the democratic press expected to
see him sent to the State prison. Now
we expected nothing of the kind
The State prison is reserved for that
class of thieves who are poor and I'M
successful. Stokes got enough to
make him worthy of cannonization in
radical eyes. and they would like on
tomorrow, to make him Governor OF
Tennessee.

Appearance OF DR.. Huston n; Che
NYnrYa.itan Canference.

While Mr. Rogers was speaking, DIR.
Huston himself came in. He stood
few minutes at the door, and there was
a general turning of eyes in that direc-
ton, but there was no interruption OF
business. Mr.. Rogers went Oh with
his remarks, and the next instant had
the full attention of the Conferences
Two or three persons who were stand
ing at the door saluted DIR. Huston,
and one fine-lOoking gentleman, who
was sitting near the center OF the
church, walked back, and warmly
grasped him by the hand. DR.. Huston
did not seem to recognize him at first,
and appeared to be somewhat embar-
raised. When he recognized his friend
a faint smile passed over his pale face,
and he appeared to feel more at case
He then stepped around to the side
isle and took seat by himself, near
the stove, where he remained until the
adjournment of the Conference. With
the exception of his blanched checks,
there is nothing about him that betrays
the mighty grief whidh is pressing on
his soul. If innocent. the sense of in
Jury which lie feels must be madden

Our State Li0c.

The Tenn, Legislature, met IN
extra session on Tuesday last. Aside
from the redistricting Of the State,
there arc other questions which the
proclamation of Gov. Brown gives
them the power to legislate upon,
annong,them is the adjustment Of
the Va. & Tenn: boundary line,
and upon this subject, there seems
to exist some misunderstanding.
First; the boundary line has new
or been definitely assertained and
settled, unless the information we
haveoois at fault. lfit has not been
settled it should be. If it has been
settled, Virginia will be utterly IN
able to disturb it. If it has not
been settled, and it should appear
that Tennessee has been using all
of her own territory, and apart OF
Virginia's TO boot, then we presume
nc. honorable Tennessean will deny
the right of Virginia 10 reclaim it.
In other words, Tenn, should
have her own territory, and Viz
ginia as much as belongs to herr
ard neither one is entitled to more
1t is a question Of justice and not
Of passion. Now if the settlement
of this question, should throw Brls-
tol wholly into either Virginia or
Tennessee and any amount OF terl-
tory with it, we would be able to
obtain a new County, with the {.
III. at Bristol, and at once our town
would be of sufficient size to entItle
MS to Hastings Court. These adj
vantages are not to be ignored nor
,dispised, but desirable as they are,
they should only be sought for up
on principles of honor and justice
Such consideration as the very nat
ural degree Of state pride and Far,
ality in which we participate would
subside in the presence Of more
substantial influences. Let Nirgi-
mia and Tennessee do what IS RIGHT
and the consequences can be en-

TIE Nsrrsw Gauge Read.

GREENvILLE, MARCH 18th 1872.
Mr.. EDITOR;
Our narrow gauge road from this
point to Paint Rock at the Carolina
line, is now the one great question be-
fore the people of our county Capt.
O. G. Vanderhoof, skilled and COM
petent Engineer from Ohio, has been
engaged upon the locality. The
field work is now completed, and Il
mars and charts are far under way.
The stecpest grade is found in reaching
the bed of the Nolla Chucky Valley,
amt is ia feet to the mile. We have
already some $, 600 cIsh, and subscrip-
tons TO the amount Of near $40,0G
more. Surely our people will see the
vast Importance of making Liberal
county subscription to the only work
which can rank this as prominent
and favored locality in East Tenn
Capt. Vanderhoof designes pressing
forward the improvement, so as to
bring the Carolina lines, into connec-
ton with your new Cumberland Gap
line, at Moccasin Gap. A still farther
extension of it to Big Sandy, would
give the line continental importance.
The link from this point to Moccasin
Gap, can be easily made, via Lick
Creek, and will be some SO miles long,
with % Of them in the Lick Creek
Valley. Green County will then
smile. CHUCKY.

Kzaguiffcest Premiums.

The publishers of "OUR FIREsIDE
FRIEND" the new eight page, fllustra-
ted, literary aud fireside weekly jour
nal, published in Chicago, evidently
mean to secure for it, specify, a very
large circulation. The premiums they
offer are, indeed, nlunificent,. and the
LISTS large and varied. The first grand
premium is $50, 200 in United States
Currency. Five thousand premiums
are TO be given to the subscribers for
1872: and the lowest offered is worth in
retail the subscription price Of the pa
per. Thus while the paper is worth
the subscription price, an opportunity
is presented of securing valuable pre-

nifieent in the list. Every subscriber
