The New York Times.

We invite particular attention to the adver-
tisement of the New York Times that appears
in our columns this morning. We have so oft
en-, of late, referred to the incorruptibility and
vigor with which this able paper is conducted,
that it is hardly necessary to do so now. HaY-
ing rendered such efficient service in the over
throw of the Tammany Ring in New York, and
being always steadfast and able in its defense of
Republican principles, we commend it t. our
readers as a paper eminently worthy of their
support. While other journals heretofore en-
joying the confidence and support of Republi-
cans, seem now to seek the overthrow of the
Republican party, the Times is active as ever
in the work OF true political reform, which can
only come from the success of the party that
has always made war on CORFU ption and law

Knoxville Turner MASQUERADE Ball.

The members of the Knoxville Turn Verein
propose to give grand masquerade ball on
Tuesday, the 9th of February next.
Their object is to raise funds for the purchase
OF additional instruments for their very fine
band. They will have two bands in attend
ance one for promenading and one for dancing.
They propose erecting an additional building
for the occasion. They have determined to
make it success and when the Knoxville
Turner: put their shoulders to the wheel they
always succeed.
At their last meeting they resolved not to dis
band the Lookout Mountain Turn Bezirk as
proposed by the Nashville Verein. The latter
proposed joining the Cincinnati Bezirk but the
Knoxville Veren refused.

Sad Accident.

A youth by the name of John Gardner, son
of Osborne Gardner six miles west of this city,
met with terrible death on Monday last. He
lives on the farm of j. Roberts, and on Satur-
day went out into the woods to cut some timber
he left it at the time. He went out again on
Monday after breakfast and attempted to fell
the tree against which the first had lodged, over
to one side, but contrary to his expectation the
tree in falling wont the other way. In the ex-
way to go, he ran directly under the tree and
was killed, it is supposed, instantly. At noon
he did not return for his dinner, and after wait
ing for some time the family began to suspect
that something had gone wrong, and a little
sister Of the deceased was sent about two o clock
to look for her brother and found the ifeless
body.
The family heard the tree fall about o'clock
in the morning, but had no idea of the fatal re-
suit at the time

Historical.

Previous to 1714 but few or no Europeans had
passed The Alleghaney mountains. What is
now called old Virginia was then a moderately
hourishing colony, noted for its exports of tobac-
co and Bacon's rebellion. Col. Alexander
Spotswood was then Lieut. Governor of the
colony, and in that year conceived the daring
feat of crossing the Blue Ridge and pushing
out into the wilderness beyond. In his travels
he passed through what is now called Cumber-
berland Gap and gave its name to the since
famous pass. He also applied the same name to
the mountains ard the river west of them.
