The Curse OF Cotton.


The South, q journal published in New York,
and devoted TO the material interests OF The
Southern Jshtes, argues that cotton Has
wrought the financial ruin of that section; not
the simple growth Of II, nor even the exalta-
tlon OF 1t into their chief article Of
nor the investment Of millions Of dollars and
the expenditure Of much mental effort and
physical energy In its culture. Not in all
these has lain the curse, but rather in e1ces-
sIve, absorbing and, therefore, ruinous deyo-
ton to the growth Of cotton, to the relative
exclusion of other,impo agricuituralpro-
ductlons, which were necessary in order Ito
render her Independent of, foreign sources of
supply, to the neglect Of those mechanic arts
withentwhich DO Slate can, realize the high
ofaaaciyilized condition. and

The Board, of School Commissioners for
the City Of Charleston haveSapplied to the,
Legislature for amendments to the School
Law, authorizing tps commissioners T to
examines and appoint the teachers for the
cilyssehools. and (2) to select their own
textbooks. As the laws stand, the Gonsty
School Commission appoints the Examin
ing Board, without whose certificate no
teacher can be- employed In any public or
common school In the county; and it is also
required that the textbooks used through
out the State shall be oneand the same
Fhe General Assembly very wisely en-
trusted the management OF the public
schools; in. the City OF Charleston, to Board
OF Commissioners elected by the people,
and there is no good reason why their con-
ttol should not be made complete. Charles
ton has always devoted especial attention
to educational matters, and the high char
acter OF her educational institutions, sus-
tanned by the intelligence Of her people, and
fostered andNncouraged by the Legislature,
is recognized throughout the North and
South. The, Charleston City School Com
missioners have the power OF taxation for
school purposes, and have the general direc-
tfon Of the schools. They represent the peo:-
ple OF the city, and it seems only just that
thew. and not an officer elected by the coun-
", should have. the appointment OF the
teachers upon whom, ailer all, the efficiency
Of the schools mainly depends. Nor can

A Suggestion.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Various plans looking
| to the improvement of our city, IN az many diff
ferent ways have been from time to time sug-
| gested through the columns of your paper, all
of which deserve and no doubt have received
attention. One absolutely, as it seems to nae,
necessary improvement to be made before we
can lay just claims to name and title
of, city, is system OF sewerage The
stores is thrown into back yards, alleys, and
often into the streets, and left to find its way to
the streams around as best it can, not without
first, however, tainting the atmosphere with its
poisonous vapors, and saturating the ground
with its filth, thus by its stagnation being rem
| dered the more deadly when brought out by
summer sun. A complete system of sewerage,
such as is in use in the larger cities of the cOun
| try would be an exceedingly expensive affair to
be built by the small population of Knoxville,
but Nature, which has so lavishly filed our East
| Tennessee land with the good things of earth
in the way of fertile valleys, and mountains full
of the precious and valuable minerals has not
forgotten our city wants. In your issue of the
9th inst, notice an account of geological
survey of the city, made by the senior class of
the Z. I. o., reported by G. B. B." This
report shows the city to be underlaid with two
distinct strata of limestone, separated by de-
post of sand. The report is substsntated by
the experience of those excavating cisterns,
stone and sand deposits in the order given in
the report. Now, the idea occurs to me that
this sand stratum could be advantageously
be made use of for the purpose named in the
beginning of this article.
The corporation cistern on Church street
opened this sand layer, and when the water was
let in, the wall of the Cistern gave way and the
cirtern was emptied. What became of the
water no one knows, but it probably found its
way, following the sand to some exposed or out
cropping portion of these layers on the rive or
creek banks. The cistern at the CHRONICLE Of
fee met with the same mishap. Now my ideas,
as above expressed, may be vague and not I'M
derstood, but they are simply this, that this
stratum of sand be opened up by excavation, so
conveniently located. that the refuse water and
filth may be deposited in them and be thus car
ried of, we care not where, only so it be beyond
the city limits, whence no harm can come from
it. Is it practicable? Yours,

In q Tight Place.

| Last Saturday evening several students from
| the East Tennessee University explored a cave
about three quarters of mile from the city, on
| the river. They were we'll supplied with can
| dies and the view was beautiful as The rays of
| light scIntillated from the quartz crystals and
stalacttes pendant from the sides and roof of the
cavern, which was of great extent, and varying
| IN size from the large vaulted chamber to mar
row passages so low as to compel the explorers
! to crawl through, while Numerous diverging
| passages were visible on every hand.
Having penetrated as far as they desired the
party started to return to open daylight again,
when one Of them stopped . gather some stall
actites and quartz crystales that were glittering
along the side of the cave the rest of the COM
| pany pursued their way towards the entrance.
Mr.. Nc, who had stopped to gather specimens,
took the wrong road. He came to place where
the rocks came down very near the bottom but
he thought he had passed under it on his way
in, so he got down and crawled under the rock
with his light; the passage got narrower and
narrower until he found it impossible to 90
further. He ehdeavored to retrace his way,
but when he undertook this, he found that he
had wedged himself so tight under the rock that
he could go neither forward nor backward, and
there he was over half mile under the ground
wedged tight under ledge of rock three or
four hundred feet thick.
He endeavored to call for assistance, but this
only added to his terror as the sound re-echoed,
IN the small space before him, in peals like
thunder and his body filed the passage SO tight
that the sound could not pass him sufficient to
reach the ears of his comrades. Soon he was
missed by one of his comrades who returned to
hunt him. After search for several minutes he
found him in this predicament almost suffocat-
ed through fright and the want of free respira-
ton. By the aid of his companions, after sew
eral trials, he was rescued from his narrow pris-
on and eagerly made his way to the entrance
but took care to notice which way road he took.
They returned to their boat and made voyage
for the University. They had some trouble to
get back, the boat running very heavy, while
the WATERWAYS so swift in one place that one of
the party had to get out and pull while the 9TH
er three rowed They arrived at the Universi-
ty little after shutdown, covered with mud and
some of them dripping with water, but doubt
less feeling quite fortunate not to have lost one
of rheir company entirely. G.B.B
