FACTS ABOUT EAST TENNESSEE.
Answers to Correspondents.
No. LV.

desire information ABOUT East tennessee |
is constantly increasing. Their letters ac-
cumulate rapidly, and it would be impos-
sible for us to answer all of them, except
in general way through the columns of
the CHRONICLE. We propose to do some
thing of this in our present number.
WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT THE CLIMATE.
3. g. Currie, of Granville, New York,
writes that he has lost his voice and has
been spending some time among the
mountains of that State, with a hope of
deriving some benefit. He says:
eff you can give any information in re-
gard to places of quiet, healthful sojourn
in East Tennessee, to one entirely ignorant
of the localities, favor would be rendered
and appreciated. 4 4 The loss of
voice Is paralysis of the vocal chords, not
a lung or bronchial difficulty-a trouble
no medicine can reach-pure air and wise
regimen alone will avail.n
We take pleasure in calling the attention
of Mr. Currie and every one afflicted in
like manner, to the Cumberland plateau,
of which we have given pretty full ac-
counts during the past year. We do not
believe there Is more health-giving, and
health promoting atmosphere than in the
counties of Cumberland, Fentress, Scott
and Morgan, as well as many others that
might be mentioned.
We spent few days on these table lands
last summer, where we saw quite num-
Der of Northern men who had gone there
for their health, and every one with whom
we conversed, admitted that he had de-
rived much benefit, and some thought that
he had derived much benefit, and some
thought that they had been entirely re-
Heved of asthma and kindred diseases. We
have known of large number of such
cases in different parts of East Tennessee.
If you want place of "quiet, healthful
sojOurnn you cannot fail to find it in the
locality mentioned. "a
WANTS A GOOD CLIMATE AND SMALL FARM
J. A. Vail, of Vermillion, Dakota, who
has had experience as teacher writes:
II do not altogether like this severe eli
mate, and extensive plains of Dakota. /
write to you to find out whether man of
my pretensions could find place more to
my liking in your celebrated region. I can
command about fifteen hundred dollars,
and would like to invest it in say, eighty
acres of good land for cultivation.
We would say to Mr.. Vail, as we have
said frequently, that for salubrity and
healthfulness, the climate of East Tennes-
see isunsurpassed on the continent. AS to
the farm we have no doubt he could be
suited.
AN ADMIRER OF THE MOUNTAINS.
julius Gunther of Quincy, Illinois
writes to us as follows: .t
GENTLEMEN: received the CHRONICLE
regularly but Nos. 40, 81, 80 of Vol. l. and
10 of Vol. II. i did not receive. Please
send me the same / will have the whole
of the numbers of the last year bound in
one volume, for having them easier cir
culated among those who would like to sc
to the Cumberland Plateau.
The Land Register / have distributed
In consequence of it several wish to go to
East Tennessee
/ am interested myself in Morgan, Scott
and Roane counties, therefore / translate
the correspondence from Wartburg, your
and other communications about Morgan
and Scott counties into the German Ian
guage and have them in German papers il
the form of correspondence which L gath
er again and send to Germany, to induce
the course of immigration to East Tennes
see especially to the Cumberland Plateau
Morgan and Scott.) For this reason
will Keep the CHRONICLE as long as find
descriptions of, and communications from
Morgan and Scott counties, or Cumber
land Plateau, and send one dollar for thu
next g months.
Very respectfully,
JULIUS GUNTHER, NJ. ID.
We shall continue frome time to time
to give such information about the locali'
ties in question as may seem proper an(
desirable. For the Information of DIR
Gunther, who seems to DO O German, W.
would say that there are quite n numbe
of Germans in Morgan county, all o
whom seem to be doing well, and are vel
satisfied. They, like the Germans every
where, are noted for their habits of indus
try and sobriety, and of course are pros
porous and contented.
TALK FAVORABLY OF EAST TENNESSEE
Jesse Evans, of Mechanicsburg, Ohio, EN-
closes two dollars for the WHEEKLl
CHRONICLE, and says 1. think Their
will be heavy emigration t
your section of the country in the mex
two years. I find q great many person
here who talk very favorably of East Ten
your neighbors with you. Men with som
capital can make it pay here, by the ex
ercise of industry and economy, and yo
avoid the severe cold winters of the North
ANXIOUS FOR MORE INFORMATION
II. b. Rollin, of Tawas City, Michigan
who for some time past has been an "inter
V-.ested taker and readern of the CHRoNICI4
expects soon TO be an interested seerii O
East Tennessee. He has been particular,
interested in the letters of our correspop
dent at Wartburg, and says that "he and
great many others wish to see full an
concise description of each county in Eas
Tennessee, then we can judge for ourselve
somewhat without going over the whole
saving the time and expense of travel.n
For the benefit of Mr.. Rollin we vii
4 say that our plan now is to give Just sue
q description Of every county in East Ter
nessee during the present year, az h
speaks Of.
