of accomplishing that professed object; but so
much time has been wasted over unsatisfactory
propositions for gradual emancipation and SO
many difficulties have constantly appeared in
the way of action that all faith in the sincerity
of the movement has been destroyed.
Intervention with Spain for the liberation of
the Cuban slaves is no new proposition to
Congress or the administration. Neither
has been idle in this direction, so far as sem
timent is concerned. President Grant has
alluded to the subject time and again Con-
gress has resolved and memorialized, and
Secretary Fish has been as strong in words
and as weak in action as usual Congress
long since adopted resolution declaring that
the existence OF slavery in Cuba would have
an important bearing on the diplomatic and
commercial relations of the two countries, and
notice TO that effect is supposed to have been
given by our Secretary of State to the Spanish
government. We have plenty Of evidence to
show that the powers at Madrid stand pledged
to our government to abolish slavery on the
island, promise which they have as yet
shown no sincere intention of redeeming In
January, 1870, Secretary Fish, writing to the
United States Minister in Spain, said,
'This government regards the govern
ment of Madrid as committed to the
abolition of slavery in CUBA" and
the Secretary went on to instruct
the Minister that if it should appear that the
Cuban insurrecion was regarded by the
Spanish authorities as finally and completely

the In,ere-. Abroad m or Fair.

To show the farmers Of East Tennessee and
the citizens of Knoxville the interest that is be-
ing felt in our Fair abroad, l call their stten-
ton to the following letter from New Jersey
"FREEHoLD, n. j., Sept. 4, 1872.

gramme for trotting. | have horses to enter.
Please answer by return mail.

This is encouraging. When persons abroad,
and especially so far distant as New jersey, arc
taking such a lively and profound interest in our
Fair, it does seem our people should. Let us,
then, wake up and do our might. Great oc-
casions demand heroic actions.
Will not some of our enterprising citizens, in
order to encourage the interest in fine trotting
stock, offer some additional special premiums
By doing so they will not only succeed in pre-
vailing upon Mr.. Schenck, of New Jersey, to
enter his trotting stock, but arouse others to do
likewise. Remember, gentlemen, that il you
want your Fair to succeed, as l know you do,
you must put your oiCn shoulders TO the ,cheei.
Your officers can not do all. Bear that in mind.
bear them testimony that they have worked
as no other officers before them have worked.

Avoid the periIs of the season.

Autumn. although the NEST radiant portion of the
American year. has its drawbacks. The heavy even

in temperature between the night and day. give rise TO
many painful disturbances Of the bowels such as collie
cholera morbus diarrh9a and dysentery. The diges-
tive organs also unfavoraby affected by the change

somewhat exhausted state. They require the whole

National Camp Meeting.

Only two weeks until our National Camp
meeting banner will DO fully unfurled, bearing
as its motto Holmes to the Lord"
We have just returned from visit to the
grounds they are beautiful for situation, just
four miles north of the city on the Knoxville
and Ohio Railroad. While we were walking
around viewing the grounds and enjoying the
almost perfect shade, we set up in mind those
canvass tents and walked along their shady
avenues and then we thought of our first camp
meeting when boy. 1t was happy morning,
the best cart covered with the best sheet, which
the house could afford, with two of the best
mules on the farm hitched tandem. we boys
all started for the camp ground. We had on
board good lot of fresh straw to sit upon, a
good supply of fried chicken, ham and apple
pies in the basket, with here and there water
melon and any quantity of apples and peach
by good natured darby, proud of his position,
and never did boysset upin the grandest coaches
have q happier time. As the grounds were
neared streams ofcarts, wagons and carriages OF
all sorts-pedestrians with their coats and shoes
supported by stick on their shoulders
the women, their gorgeous bsndanas huttering
in the breeze could be seen flowing toward the
common center of attraction. In that
day we could take no boys dust, and so our
Jehu whipping up, aimed at passing every thing
on the road.
The Camp Meeting at last was reached what
a neighing of horses what q tangling maze of
Vehlcles, ana rushlng 70 ana tro OF the multi
titudes; what voice of singing, as the sound
of many waters. What picture, what enchant-
nlent we first entered the circle white tents.
1t was my boyhoods earthly paradise"
Such we hope to witness again in our APP
preaching National Camp Meeting, bringing
US back to all the plain frugal practical charac-
ter of our forefathers.
Laying aside the great expense and prepatiOn
which has attended these annual gathering for
the last decade, n camp meeting we believe TO
be good thing, it jostles people out of their
seets, shakes them up with new life, and brings
many minds to hear the gospel who otherwise
would never hear it.
We need this waking up and excitement. In
listening to the Gospel, men had better be ex-
cited by anything Except liquor than to be
fallen into that stupid indifference which SO Of
ten arises from duh uniformity. We learn that
a number of eminent ministers will be present.
Among those who have been written to and

sale of Tate,s springs.

For some days past there have been rumors
that Tate's Springs would shortly change
hands, and we learned yesterday that the trade
has been contaminated. The proprictors have
leased the PROPERTY to Col Sam. Tate of Mem
phis, and others, for ninety-nne years the les
sees obligating themselves to eIpend $4,000
IN anentimprovements within the next five
years.
They are men of capital and will make this
one of the finest and best kept watering places
IA the South. The water is famed for its medic
iRsl properties and experience has demonstrat-
cd that insufficient accommodations have kept
away scores and hundreds who would otherwise
have spent the season there.
We learn that the prospect for building a
brsE,eh road from Morristown to the Springs is
by 90 means remote, which will tend Target y
towards increasing its patronage
With the Improvement consequent upon the
transfer of this valuable property, with the
heavy increase Of travel that can reasonably be
expected, our motel Accommodations will prove
inadequate TO the public requirements and one
larger and more commodious will be impera-
lively required. There are several suitable To-
cations and the person who orects and maintains

tory, as valuable property "a he could invest his
money in.

Greeley 20 visit Knoxville.

A New York correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial states that he will probably visit
this State some time in September.
''He is not intending to swing around the
circle to hand over flags and constitutions, but
is simply yielding to the wishes of the good far
mers of Tennessee, who urge him, with much ve-
hemence, to deliver to them y little talk on
what he knows about farming"
After giving the line of his trip the cores
pondent continues "After lunch at Indianap-
oils, he will proceed by way Of Louisville to the
interesting capital of Tennessee, to see and shake
hands with his old farmer friends. Perhaps,
when that pleasant task is concluded, he may
take more direct rout to New York, and re-
turn to this metropolis by way of Knoxville,
Lynchburg and Richmond
The old cry used to be Have we Bourbon
amongtus ?" and if the above is correct, during
the idea of the present month we will have the
sage of ChappaQua among us.

Words of wisdom.

In your issue of yesterday you pen an article
headed, What the People Demand" In that
article you submit some frank and sensible
views which every honest man is bound to en-
dorse no matter what his political creed For
myself am heartily Disguised with politics, and
with the management of political tricksters and
contemplate demagogues. You strike the cor
rect note when you declare that we need 'help
from abroad to restore our shattered CONNER
cial agricultural and inductrial interests, .
Truly words of wisdom That We have been
greatly retarded, in this direction, by false man
agement, on the part of the reigning dynasty, |
am inclined to believe Golden opportunities
have escaped our grasp. Important results
could have been achieved for the material ad-
vancement of Tennessee if our authorities had
comprehended and appreciated the situation,
They have been too tardy. Politics have been
their god.
l am glad that you suggest that the revolu-
ton must come. So it will The people
of Tennessee, proudly conscious of their
manhood and of their independence,
will yet demand that something be done for our
material advancement. They intend TO speak
and their voices will be as the terrible mutter-
ings of the thunder storm. They demand the
inauguration of bold and advancing measures
for the relief of our agricultural, educational
and immigration interests. This must be done

bottleful, all you have to do is to purchase Ha-
gan's Magnolia Balm. That peerless beautifer
of the complexion not only heightens natural
charms, but renders even the plainest cOunte-
nance exceedingly attractive. 1t recalls TO the
pallid cheek the rosy tinge of health, removes
pimples, blotches, roughness, sallowness and
other blemishes, and imparts to the skin most
delicate fairness and sottness. 1t smooths the
burrows caused by time or care, and gives the
face, neck and arms the plump and engaging
appearance of youthful beauty. All this is ac-
complished by the most natural means, viz by
gently and naturally stimulating the circulation
in the capillary blood vessels. Besides being
