From the Knoxville Chronicle, 22d.l
Cruel reports are abroad concerning
the health Of Knoxville. Our city never
was as clean, and not for years have we
had a June when there was so little sick
ness. All our physicians agree on this
point. There has not been death from
anything like cholera. There has been
far less bowel complaint than usual for
June. We repeat these assurances to
correct all false impressions abroad.
There has not been single case Of
cholera in the city, and not single
death from any disease anything like
cholera. Our physicians all assure us
that during the present month there has
been far less sickness than in June, 1872.
Knoxville is unusually healthy consid'
ering the season. We have the state
ments of Drs. Boynton and Boyd, and
give them as authority for our statement.

THE PoLARIs MYSTERY.

The Poluris investigation, had at
Washington, does not clear mp the mys'
terry Of Captain Halls death, or excul'
pate Captain Buddington Of the susp'-
cion Of conspiring to get him out OF the
WAY. The dispatches based upon Secre-
tary Robeson's version Of the testi-
mony were we'll calculated TO set Bud.
dington all right before the public, and
TO lull all suspicious Of foul play. But
il must be remembered that Mr.. Robe
son is interested in this matter, as IT in
wolves his own reputation for judgment
and discretion in appointing the officers
and men to serve under Captain Hall.
He RI fair minded enough, no doubt, to
give the guilty an opportunity to make
a proper and full defense, and in this
instance seems over anxious to have
suspension Of public opinion. The evi.
dence, however. begins to come to hand
through the leading metropolitan pa
pers. and is not so favorable for the
cause Of Buddington as the first dis
patches seemed to foreshadow. 1t is
extremely improbable as to whether
Captain Hall died of apoplexy. None
of his comrades ever complained of the
unusual disease, and it is not remem
bered that case ever occurred previ'
ously in the Arctic regions. Buddington,
the sailing master, disliked Hall from
the start. and chafed at being placed
under the command Of one who was not
a practical seaman. He was addicted
TO drink before and after Halls death,
and associated with the men in a wayto
prejudice them against their commander.
He remarked subsequently that he was
clad Hall was out Of the way. This is
the testimony of Mr.. Meyer and others.
The publication of the testimony ex-
cites new interest in the mysterious sep
aration Of the vessel from those on the
ice foe as we'll as the untimely death of
the inirepid Captain Hall. The return
of the Polaris will be watched for with
more anxiety than ever, and the Gov
eminent should hasten forward the ex-
petition of discovery and relief.

The Union aud American OF Tuesday
the 9th. says;
A great deal has been done and is
still being done by our city officials TO
arrest the progress Of the disease. over
three hundred barrels Of tar have been
burned or trailed along the streets, for
the purpose Of purifying the air, aud a
large quantity of lime is being used for
the same purpose. Barrels Of tar are
burned every night in various parts OF
the city, fifty barrels being burned each
night for three nights in succession last
week. The streets have been put in ex-
cellent condition, and are being kept In
that condition. A number Of physicians
have been appointed by the Mayor and
County Judge Ferris, to prescribe for the
poor patients who are unable TO pay for
medical attendance, and these officials
have also appointed a sanitary commit
tee, consisting Of twenty persons, whose
duty it is to patrol the city and see that
the sanitary measures adopted by the
are carried out.
The result Of all this is most satlstac-
tory, for there can be no doubt that a
week, or ten days at the farthest, will
show our city almost entirely free OF
cholera.

ppoFEssoR wTsEIs GREAT VOYAGE.

The balloon voyage OF Professor wise,
who proposes to cross the Atlantic in
aboat sixty hours, will be undertaken
from Boston on the 4th of July-or, at
least, that is the appointed time and
place The daring aeronaut has had
great experience, and believes that, at
tar ascending a mile or so, he will reach
a current or strata of air blowing stead
ily east to carry him safely and swiftly
across the ocean. Boston is anxious to
have him try it, and has appropriated
$4,000 to enable him to fit out his bal
loon Men of science will watch the
undertaking and its results with deep
interest. and the world with great curl
osity. 1t is said he will be attended by
two or three newspaper correspondents
and one or two scientific observers.
This. however, lacks confirmation. Thus
far balloonipg has never been utilized to
any practical purpose except in times OF
war, when used for sending dispatches
from a besieged city or garrison, as at
Paris during the late war, and even there
the balloons never travelled in any GER
tain line, but generally escaped beyond
the German lines. Professor Wise holds
that a strong current continually sets
east, and that he can 60 to Europe, but
cannot return. If this theory holds
good be can return by sailing further
east .nnth he completes the circuit OF
the world. But viewing the undertaking
from the light Of all past experience 1t
seems extremely unlikely that he will
travel many hundreds of miles from
land before meeting current which will
carry him off in some other direction.
He is 10 be provided with life-boat,
and 10 the event Of his descending to
the ocean could probably keep ahoat
until picked up by some passing vessel.

L. A. BRuNNER. in almost every issue

l.. A. Drummer, in almost every issue
of his paper, has much to say about s..
His CHIEF theme is our incapacity to DO
business and our inability to read. write
&C.. from which his readers are TO infer
that in all those traits of character he is
par-excellent, and we not only accord to
him all he claims to De, but are willing
to furnish proof. As TO his bu=iness ca
paeity there is no diversity o.opinion.
His wio.e career Is one of brilliant and
uninterrupted successes. Why, with the
aid oIthc county printing he has. we
are informed, ornamented the onion of
flee with incum5erances, by way of
mortgages and otherwise, to the extent
of about eight thousand dollars. As
superannuated p' eacher of the Gospel, he
overflows with christian graces and char
ity. and his generosity Is so boundless,
that for less than five dollars. he would
puff up'the most depraved inmate of a
penitentiary as fit person to enter para
di Sc. In fact, he is so notorious for his
unwavering fidelity to principle and
III tilt VI tNCIN w
legation, that his personal paper, where
he is best known. commands ninety-nine
cents above PER on the dollar. And then
he is such marked flvorite with tho
Democracy OF this county. especially the
leaders OF the party. that they are very
uneasy, lest something should occur by
which chsnge of editor of their organ
might be brought about. They are viii
ling to submit to any defeat or affection.
nay, surrender the Court House itself,
Father than to part with Drummer, for
the loss of him, 'would never from their
hearts," Such sore calamity, they fer
vently pray, may never befall them.
And then his services to the party have
been so marvellous, and his qualifications
for almost any public position of honor
are so pre-eminent. and his personal
character so spotless, that we beg leave
to suggesthis name as suitable person
for their standard-bearer for Governor
next fall. His claims are certainly SUI
perior to those of any other leader of
the Democracy of Ohio. Ills bold and
manly opposition to Know-No.hingism
is so we'll known that adopted citizeas
everywhere would rally to his support
en.masse. His immense and unrivaled
popularity with the the masses would
add infinite strength to the ticket, ena

which of course we must overlook
have to say that taking all things as they

not without beneficial re suits.
More than this, outside of school mat
tiers, we got to see and become acquaint-

region, with whom art and nature are
at strife as to which can most make fe-
