Rough on Carpet Baggers.

The following fact made public through
the Washington correspondent of the New
York Times is decidedly the worst slur on
carpet-baggers we have yet seen
\ curious fact has come to light here
concerning Mr.. Jefferson Davis. Evidence
has been found to be in existence that, in
stead of being born in Kentucky, as has al
ways been supposed, and as he has always
asserted, he was really born in Massachu-
sets, and therefore, instead of being a
pure-blooded son of Southern chivalry, he
is a only a Massachusetts, Yankee. Lam
mans Dictionary of Congress- puts Davis
down rather indefinitely as having been
born in Christian county, Kentucky, in
1908. Persons who claim to be well in
formed say that jeff was born in old
Stockbridge, Mass, in 1908, and removed
to Kentucky with his father when small
child. His father is said to have been q
wheelwright by trade, and the house
where he lived on one side of the road land
the shop where he worked on the other
side, are well remembered by living wit
nesses. After all, the illustrious rcbe
comes from plebeian stock.

Galena.

We learn, through the Knoxville
CHRONICLE, that rich lead mine has
been discovered in McAIinn county, on
the lands of Ham. Pierce, and that the
people are a good deal excited about it.
The excitement part, we suspect, is incor-
rect, as we have been making those sort of
discoveries in McMinn almost daily for
the last forty years. We can point out n
dozen different localities showing indica-
tons of rich deposits of lead. On the north
bank of the gently winding Eastanelle,n
on the lands ofour old and esteemed friend,
Alexander Cleague, galena crops out in
abundance, and even the surface dirt seems
to be thoroughly impregnated with parti-
cles, as any one can ascertain by lifting a
handful of it, This deposit is less than a
half mile from Athens, near the site of the
old Indian Forge, built and used by the
Cherokees many years ago, and is sup
posed to contain a large percentage of sill
yer. We are confident it would yield q
| rich profit, and hope some one with the
necessary capital will soon engage in the
business. Mr.. Cleague would, no doubt,
either lease or sell the locality at reason.
able price. We will add, that there is
close by an excellent water-power, sufli
cient to turn good deal of machinery
which ought to be utilized and put L
use.-Athens Post, Feb. LIST.

East tennessee Wesleyan University.

This Institution closed its ninth term,
under the control of its present President,
Rev. n. L. Cobleigh, d. D., Wednesday,
the 24th inst. There were one hundred and
twenty-five students in attendance. The
examination of classes was very critical
and thorough on the part of the teachers
and the Examining Committee, and emil
nently satisfactory to the friends and wish
tors present. The examination continued
four days. The classes, respectively, stood
higher on the graduated scale of scholar
ship than the corresponding classes at the
close of the session last June. The stu
dents gave evidence of studiOus applica-
cation to, and marked proficiency in their
studies, and that they had been under the
care of most faithful and competent in
structors. -........
The faculty, prescribed course of study,
government and general advantage of this
Institution will compare favorably with
the oldest literary institutions ofthe South.
Its locality and surroundings are of a very
desirable character, and its support and
success should lie near the heart of every
lover of learning throughout this broad
land.
The next term will open Thursday

Tom SCOTS southern Agent.

The gentleman who looks after Tom
SCOTS interest in New Orleans illustrates
the wisdom that great men sometimes dis
play in selecting their agents. William
NJ. Wellington, the general Southern
agent of the Pennsylvania road and its
numerous adjuncts, branches and feeders,
is an old newspaper man. He was in early
life page in the House of Representatives
at Washington. During the administration
of Mr.. Johnson, Wellington was connect
ed with the Washington Intcligcnccr.
Disconnecting himself from that paper,

Messrs. Friedman Bros, Goodbar & Gill
liland, Southworth & Thayer, William r..
Moore, rnd Schoolfield & Hanauer filed re-
spectively, in thu Clerks office of the First
Circuit Court of Memphis, last Saturday,
petitions praying that Captain j. Harvey
Mathes, State and County Tax Collector,
be restrained from further proceedings in
the execution of distress warrants which
he has issued against them.
The warrants were issued because of the
unwillingness of the merchants to pay in
full the al valorem tax as construed by
Captain NIathes. Each of the merchants
has paid his tax on the amount of capital
invested, but the tax collector holds that
the law requires that they should pay upon
the largest amount of stock on hand at any
one time within the year. For refusing TO
pay the tax in full distress warrants were
issued against the merchants and it is to
prevent the execution of these, and to
throw the whole matter into the courts,
that the petitions are. filed.-NdshUiNe
