East Tennessee.

Any enterprise having this end i'll view,
will always receive our earnest support.
We want to see our population doubled,
and our wealth quadrupled before another
census shall be taken. We feel fattered
with the prospect, and believe that our
humble efforts already made in that direc-
ton are being appreciated. There are
more numbers of the CHRONICLE being
sent out of the State to those looking for
homes in Tennessee, than of any other
journal published in the State. We will
never relax our efforts to induce imnligra-
ion to this State and to the South.

LONDON, Sept IA dispatch to the London
Times tron Geneva says the award by the tribu-

exceed 100000 pounds by a trihe
The decision of tie court is signed by all the
arbitrator except Sir Alexander Cockburn, who
Will give separate Judgment agreeing with hls

award in which case constitutes the greater por-
ton of the total sum.
Damages were granted in the case of Florida

by the American government were dismissed by
the court. The Times says: "Willingly will we
pay this sum to improve the law of nations"

laborS of the Geneva tribunal, says: "While
England has been held responsible for depre.
dationS of several of the confederate cruisers
we yet retain the conviction that morally she is
not TO blame The United States government
claimed damages for losses caused by a dozen
vessels, but the court of arbitration held En-
gland liable unanimously only in the case of one
vessel This is plain evidence of the belief in
the genuincnesS OF our neutrality during the
