French Emigrants to virginia.

The Boston Journal says colony, con-
sisting of about two hundred families
from Alsace and Lorraine, are making
preparations to settle in the vicinity of
Alexandria, Virginia. "They propose to
locate town and purchase sufficient land
to combine agriculture and manufacture.
They have now a subscribed capital of
S16O.OO0, and if they are successful in their
arrangements they expect to increase their
number to about two thousand families"
Thousands of these people are en- route
TO America. They are an industrious and
desirable population. Why can not East
Tennessee have some of them settle here,
and work some of our idle lands? Our
greatest need is more population.

LETTER FROM GEORGIA.
EIne Autumn for Planters-Activity In
the Cotton Trade-C0aI Creek Coal I'm
Georgia, de-, ekc.


MILLEDGEvILLE, GA, Oct. q, 1872.
The planters in Middle Georgia are
blessed with an autumn constructed espe-
cially by a favoring Providence to enable
them to harvest their cotton securely. In
this particular locality the crop isvery fine,
both in respect to quantity and quality
far better than in most other sections OF
the South. The corn crop, also, was
much better the present year than usual
still very many of our planters planted but
little corn and must depend on your Ten
nessee fields for their future supply, as
most of the bacon-eaters of Baldwin coun-
ty must have their wants supplied from
other States. We see some mules and
horses already here from Kentucky,
brought hither by the indefatigable Col.
Johnson, of Mt. Sterling, Ky. The ami
mails go off well and at good prices.
We are now in the midst of the cotton
season. The principal business streets of
this city are thronged daily Sunday eX-
cepted) with the wagons of planters laden
with the precious bales, many of which
are to find their way across the Atlantic to
lOTeluS ClluleS' lHc pIduleI ItlhSS t HuSc
sample of the snowy fleece in each hand
and visits in town the various purchasers.
A dozen or two of these rapidwalking and
eager planters may be seen to-day, or any
day for the next month, profiting by the
competition among buyers, and getting the
highest prices"
We begin to smell the Coal Creek coal
here very perceptibly on the cool frosty
mornings. A large amount, we under
stand, is ordered here. We have had Oc-
casion lately to learn one fact about freights
which should be born in mind by parties
shipping coal from Coal Creek hither, or
from Caryville. A car load of coal from
Coal Greek will reach here with an aggre-
gate freight of $3.50, if sent from Atlanta
via the Georgia railroad and if sent from
Atlanta via the Macon and Western, and
the Central railroads, the freight Oh the
car load is S54.30. So there is a saving to
the consumer of S.. so, if the coal is sent by
the Georgia railroad via Camak from At
lanta. We understand the Central rail-
road will hereafter reduce their charges so
as 20 make the freight the same; but even
if it should, that road observes the business
which first began the system of moderate
charges.

THE WAR CHIEFS AT JACKSON.
A Cheaiha,n Account Of Ii.

We give below Cheatham account of
the Jackson meeting, which would seem
to indicate there were some radicals" in
that section.
The dispatch is dated the 10Th:
Johnson's whole strength in this county
is in Jackson and the Eighth District.
Both are, however, very largely, and
Jackson overwhelmingly, for Cheatham.
Gen. Cheatham will be serenaded tonight.
Johnson's reception was cool, not over six
persons meeting him. His friends were
greatly disappointed in the effect of his
speech. Maynard made powerful
speech, and convinced the people of the
necessity of standing by their organization
and its nominee. The Radicals were in
force here, and helped to make Johnson
noise, and showed plainly their object to
divide by making q show of Johnson
strength. The Cheatham demonstration
here was one of the grandest ever in

How Republicans Manage.

The result of Republican rule and an
honest administration of affairs is thus
stated with regard to two States:
"Iowa, one of the staunchest of the Re-

any other State, is entirely out of debt, and
has a large cash balance in the Treasury. So

Indiana is an illustration of the same
Republican tendency to pay off debts and

power, broken by two of Democratic OBJ

Too Late for Dan,

Dan Voorhees, writes about his defeat in
Indiana aud refers to the Greeley meve-
ment as follows:
The only mistake our friends made was
in supposing that the prejudice of the
masses of the Democratic party of thirty
years standing against Mr.. Greeley could
be entirely overcome in brief canvass of
sixty DAYS. 1t takes more time than this
to work such change in the minds of
honest, slow thinking people. thought
so when 1 tried to prevent the nomination
of Mr.. Greeley, and now know 1 was
right. l have entire respect for this ele-
ment in our party, and in time will har-
monize with the cause in which we are
engaged, but it takes more than was given
in this movement.

THE INTERNAL REVENUE LAWS.
Democrats Equally Responsible with Re
nnhllcanS.


publ1canS.
Democratic politicians take few items
from the present Internal Revenue laws,
that may appear odious and harp upon
them, seeking to array the people against
the Republican party, by charging that
the law is Republican measure. The
fact is, the Internal Revenue law is not
party measure at all: The present law
taxing aOhisky and tobacco was passed by
seventy five Republicans in the House
voting for it and seUenty.four Democrats,
F0rty-t,Oo Republicans voted against it and
nineteen Democrats. .
In the Senate, only three votes were
given against it-aU Republicans. How,
then, can it be said, that it is Republican
measure.
The most odiOus tax law ever passed was
the act of July Goth, 1868, which became a
law, with the signature of Andrew Johnson
a Democratic President.

THE TELEGRAPH BUSINESS. ex
tent of the telegraph business in this
country, as well as its profits, is denoted
by the annual exhibit of a single company,
the Western Union, just made at its meet
ing in New York. In the election for its
twenty nine directors the number of votes
cast was 273,116, representing stock
amounting to S27 7,311 600. Large as the
list is, we do not see among all the names
any one residing south of New York. The
list is composed mainly of New Workers,
with few west of that city. The policy
of the company formerly was to distribute
the directors at the principal points along
the main lines. From the report read on
the occasion by President OrtOn, we learn
that on the 30th of June, 1872, the compa-
ny operated 62,O32 miles of line, with 49,,
1919 miles of wire, through 5,237 offices.
The increase during the year past was 5000
miles of line, ,O39 miles of wire, and 631
offices. To perform the labor required
the company has in its employ 8,347 opera
tors, who last year transmitted 12,444, ,495
messages, being an increase of ], ,7S8, 422
over the year preceding. The gross re-
ceipts for the year were $S,457 ,095 n, the
expenses SIS ,666, 1868 16, leaving net profit
of 50, ,77O, ,232 81, which is an increase over
the last year of SS19,646 90 in the gross re-
ceipts, $562,075 81 in the expenses, and
