11RFL IN PENNsYLyANIA.

There is one State, and an old boast
ing one, in which the liberty Of the press
is moekery and the antiquated laws
thereon disgrace to any State. ot
course we allude to Penusylvania--the
commonwealth on whose bosom Liberty
imbibed its first milk before it was put IN
swaddIing clothes or christened on the
4th Of July, l776. Nor is there any
'prospec. that matters win grow better.
The city editor Of FOrney's Press at
Philadelphia, by name Cathcart Taylor,
wrote an article stating that David Il.
Lane, local politician, had been
leacued with certainfing Of distillers.
The Press apologized. but Lane Drought
suit, and the jury brought in . verdict
against Taylor, in that vlrtuons State
where the barbarous law is that the
greater the truth the greater the libel.
Colonel Fcrney says this suit is aimed
by politicians at the freedom Of the press,
and insists that he should have been ar
raigned and not his employe. Uader
such law, it would be to the interest Of
the defendant to disprove the truth OF
whatever the charge or statement might
have been. The truth is libel, but lie
is not. Pennsylvania needs reconstrue-
ton; but there are so many grand ras-
Gals in the State who are afraid OF the
truth being told on them, that the cause
of the press is hopeless The only rem
edy will be to call thief or liar high
toned, civilized creature, and ask the
public to take the statement backwards,
like the Interpretation of a dream.

The National Camp Meeting Committee
have agreed to hold National Camp
Meeting near this city, commence
ing September 2lst, 1872, and lasting from
eight to ten days.
From twenty to twenty-five of the
ablest ministers of our Church are expect
ed to be present, representing the talent of
the North, South East and West. The
Grand Tabernacle, capable of seating 5000
persons will be erected, where services will
be held from three to four times each day.
A large stand will also be erected, in
front of which seats will be arranged to
accommodate 5000 persons. Seventy-tive
large and commodious tents will be sent to
this place, which can be rented by families
for $500 each, by applying to either of us,
and when rented become the private
home of the occupant, as much so as the
present home you occupy. Two families
might club together and occupy one tent
A committee here will erect the tents.
You are earnestly solicited to make ar
ground. Come! 1t will be the greatest
feast of your life. No matter 1ehdt church
you belong to, come in the name Of the
LORD.
Dear Brother, please do all you can to
awaken an interest, and secure tent-hold-
ers. We ought to have 200 tent holders on
the ground. The place selected is beauti-
full, situated on the Knoxville and ONO
railroad, about miles from Knoxville.
We will try and make arrangements with
the railroads to carry to and from the
Camp Grounds at half fare. A large
boarding tent will be erected and kept by
a Christian gentleman, where oil persons
not having tents can be accommodated.
We hope no one will comet the Camp
meeting expecting to sponge their way, of
of the tent holders. We can accommodate
all with tents, for the small sum of 500.
Please send us your orders before all are
gone. VI ]. b. FORD,

About twenty delegates were selected and
go uninstructed The following resolu
TONS ordered to be published in the
CHRONICLE, were unanimously adopted
First, That we have full confidence ia
the Republican party, which, coming in
to power when our National Government
seemed but wreck its treasury bankrupt;
its handful of soldiers in the remote terri
tories its rotten navy scattered to the ends
of the earth its forts, arsenals and a large
portion of its public buildings and arms in
the possession of its enemies, took hold of
the government and saved it from ruin
restored its lost credit; built an irresisti.
BILE navy raised, equipped and supported
mighty armies and crushed the most for
midable rebellion on record created ma.
tional currencS that is an honor to our
age-that magnanimously pardoned all
who rebelled against the government re-
stored their forfeited property and only
asked them to sin no more. 10 1o"oa
Second, That we indorse the platform of
principles adopted by the Republican par
| ty in Philadelphia June g, 1872, and COR
| daily welcome to our ranks all who dis
! card the coalition between extreme Repub-
| licans and extremists of all other par
| ties. !,
Third, That in the selection of candi-
| date for Congress, that he must be a Re
! publican; and that for Elector he mustbe
n Republican, or in full sympathy with the
Republican party. .LIoao,

Two days ago, in company with several gen

Turley, to examine his blooded stock. And a
treat we had. Besides enjoying the generous
hospitality of Mrs Turley, we saw there a
genuine specimen of the Arabian horse-a colt
about sixteen months of age, recently purchased
in Maryland, He is PROFESSIONALLY avery ele-
CANT colt
His Jersey Bull, "Sir Davy," is n very large
and fine specimen of that breed. Whether he
has any superior in East Tennessee will be left to

specimens of this splendid mich stock. TIL ey

We learn that it is the intention of Mr.. Tur-
ley to purchase several other Jersey cows. Be-
sides these he has from thirty to forty young
mules. Some good specimens of grade and pure
short horns, and a fine mare by Lexington.
On the whole we have no man in East Ten

Ahout Manufactures.

Where there is AZ aggregation of machinery,
there we find men, energy and money. The
great manufacturing towns OF England and this
country are densely crowded, and business fol-
lows, The city which has natural facilities for
manufacturing and convenient modes of distri-
button, and avails herself of such advantages, is
mistress of a splendid situation.
We trust that before long the facilities OF
Knoxville will be grasped by determined hands,
SO that our magnificent water-power will be
utilized in a thousand profitable ways. 1t is to
the honor of our city that what she manufae-
lures she manufactures well, and disdains the
are worth more, and should bring better price.
The time will come, we are confident, when
manufacturers will be able to supply the city
trade entire. If our dealers in the city would
undertake to sell any one production, and per-
sist in IT, there is,lttle doubt Of success in the
future

East Tennessee stereoscopea.

Our accomplished artist T. NJ Schleier, has
just returned from one of his sketching and ster-
coscopic expeditions into the mountains of East
Tennessee, traversed by the beautiful Ocoee
river. 1t is needless to say that all the'stereo-
scopic views obtained by him are of exquisite
beauty and finish. The stream referred to passes
through some magnificent scenery and has a
fall of over 800 in "a miles.
This enterprise undertaken by Mr.. Sehleier is
of more than ordinary benefit to our section be-
cause it brings the beauties of East Tennessee
by means of these pictures to the view of thou
sands of people elsewhere, and thus attracts
them TO US. We recommend these stereoscopic
pictures TO the public and we have no doubt
Mr.Schleier's great exertions in procuring these
views will be fully rewarded by an approaching
public.
