Excuse ME when | say That I could
not repress Il smile when reading your sig
nificant enquiry upon this delicate ques-
ton + can readily understand why you
people are so suspicious about this matter,
You have heard in the first place, many
idle stories about the inhospitable charae-
tor of our people towards Northern peo-
pie, and hearing but one side of the ques-
ton, you have concluded that it was not |
safe to come here. For our own good, the !
matter has been carried too far. We
have been greatly injured and kept |
back by these false and SANDER
Gus reports. l am glad that L
have the opportunity of communicating |
with gentleman 80 intelligent as l take
you to be, for you will appreciate the situa-
ton and do what you can to disabuse the
minds of your friends of this monstrous
Authorization. 1t IS nothing else. we
have, already, hundreds of Northern peo-
pie living all over this region, and they are
respected for their many virtues. THERE'S
no clashing between them and the native
race, They affiliate and live together in
perfect harmony. On this you may conf
IDENTIFY rely. 1 have no disposition to mis-
lead you upon subject of such vast mo-
ment. /, or any one else, would be mon
ster who would invite your people to sec
ton where they would be ridiculed and
treated with contempt. Itwould be vio-
laton of every principle of honor. have
mixed with your people, and know them
to be refined, educated and intelligent.
They can well appreciate the amenities OF
polite society and know how to conduct
themselves in it. Such people l would
not have come to be Knocked and insulted.
Rest assured therefore, that you can come
here with the utmost safety. 1t makes no
sort of difference what are your politics, or
your religion. Both will be tolerated in
the most generous manner

This is q hard question to answer. AL
most every one has some plan for money
| making on paper, but, unfortunately, few
make it. OF one thing, however, L am
doubly assured, and that is, that there il
nothing that would pay so well i'll this
latitude (KnoXville) as manufacturing, and
by this mean manufacturing of any de-
scription. You could scarcely go amiss in
this department of enterprise. Anything
followed vigorously and with snap"
would prove remunerative. For the pres
ent, would recommend wooden factory.
In this business you would find wide
field, and all the elbow room you could
ask You would have no competition.

1t does. Nothing would pay better &C
cording to the investment. 1t is the very
country for fruit. Why not? Does it no
stand to reason that it will do well here
and infinitely better, than in the rigorous
, climate of Ohio? Our winters are to-
mild, by far, to injure the trees, and on
