So it seems that the rebel archives,

There has been already great deal of

and clerks in making his eminent work.
But this rare and curious publication is

documents was made so that the treason

Government might be exposed, disap.

Who Shall Ride that UobAy.

Your facetious and very intelligent cor
respondent rs. Y. C.,n makes some en-
cellent Observations with regard to the
East Tennessee University; and while /
10 not propose TO mount that hobby, am,
nevertheless, disposed TO encourage him
or any one else who will make the at
tempt.
When he asserts that "it was the design
of God that East Tennessee should bt the
educational center of the Cotton belt
he only utters q sublime truism. ! like
that idea. 1t is not only a practical one,
but grand one, and is highly creditable
To the discriminating mind of ~. Y. W.
| want this idea to ring out clear and
strong throughout the Cotton belt Let
US all put our heads together for the pur-
pose of propagating it. Your corre~pon-
dent deserves the gratitude of this commu-
nifty for venturing upon such suggestion.
But ] will give the idea n wider sgnifi-
canoe. The University may not only be-
come n central scholastic influence in the
Cotton belt,n but of the Northern beltn
also. Our geographical position Is ex-
tremely favorable to bring this about. If
the southern people may find in our cli-
mate theelement Of physical, az well as
mental invigoration and an escape from the
torrid heat of that section, so may the
Northern people obtain relief from the
| terrible rigors of Northern climate. We
may thus become the center of educational
influence in both directions, and, while
we are educating the Southern mind, we
| may also accomplish the same result with
| the Northern mind. Taking this view of
the question, how formidable might this
institution become, and what grand results
might she accomplish, ! confess there is
! majesty and an overwhelming power
| about il that causes me to stand aghast,
and, yet, | cannot resist the conviction
! that all this might be achieved.
! Still another aspect of The ease. Let us
consider it legtimately. This University,
| drawing into its enclosures the young
men of the South and the young men of the
. North, would do more to unite and har-
monte the two sections than all the acts
/ of Congress, or the efforts of the press in
! this direction. We are discovered people
because we do not intermingle. That has
been our ruin. The two sections have
been as distinct as the Egyptians and the
| Turks. What q revolution might be
brought about by bringing face TO face the
youth of the two divisions of our country
We may contribute much toward this
result through the powerful agency OF
this institution. Their should be vigorous
efforts to widen the area of its in
fuencc, Let il act in every direction
/ have no doubt but that "S. y. U.,h with
his able pen, is ready to endorse this senti
ment. We must not only reach the "Cot
ton belt,n as intimated elsewhere, but WI
must pass over into the New Englan,

Gave Himself Up.

We understand that one of the young
men-who robbed their grandfather, Mr..
Jesse Kerr, in Loudon county, some time
ago, arrived at LOudon yesterday and went
to the residence. of Mrs. Hambrieht, re-
questing that lady 70 have him arrested,
stating who he was, which She according
ly did, sending for constable, who per-
formed the task without any trouble, there
being a reward of five hundred dollars Of
fered for his apprehension. T "
While this may be true, and the man
said to have given himself up may be one
of the robbers of old man Kerr, but il is
by no means positive fact, as yet, for the
latest intelligence of the brothers concern
ed in the robbery was from point out
West, and steps were taken some days ago,
which, it was hoped, would lead TO their
arrest, but for most excellent reason we
refrain from giving further explanation at
present.
1t is possible this fellow il a kinsman
and wishes TO throw the officers of the law
on wrong acent and thus allow the gull
ty parties an opportunity to escape. We
understand that Judge Brown has been
engaged to defend him.

SEWER County Letter.

SENIERVILLE, Eeb. u, 1872.
AiEsSRS. EDITORS: There has been much
said about the Knoxville and Clifton Rail-
road, by way of Sevierville and cambridge.
All seem to favor the enterprise, but while
we think it is well to have enough of wind
work about anything, neither wind-wri-
ting nor talking will build railroad.
Now to the point. We think all the cOun-
ties interested should come together and
come to some conclusion as to the matter
Let them put their shoulders to the wheel
and have this road in process of construe-
ton this spring and summer. We think
If the parties from the different counties
who were appointed at the cambridge
meeting either in November or December,
would appoint some time and place to meet,
come to some understanding, and then go
to work, and let the different county courts
go TO work, and all come up like they
meant business, it would not be long until
we would hear and see the ears in SEWER
vile. Then we would realise something
for our surplus produce, that is cast out and
wasted for the want Of market. Then
the people of this beautiful valley of Pig
con river, and throughout the county,
would feel like they were at home and not
in the Wilderness SEWER has already done
nobly, and will do her part whenever the
other counties will do theirs.
