IMMIGRATION.

The following is specimen of the let
tiers we receive almost daily:
UPPER STEwIACKE, P. O., Nova SCOTIA,
Dominion Canada, Dec. %, 1872.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: In common with
many others in this inhospitable region, 1
expect to immigrate to more Southern
climate some time during the next year,
i'll can find some suitable location. East
Tennessee think would offer us the great
est advantages as far as climate is concern
ed. Will you be kind enough to let me
know, as the pioneer of Our party, some
thing about the soil, timber, products,
water minerals, markets, prices of living,
wages, cost of tickets, say from Boston to
Knoxville, by rail, also from Baltimore to
Knoxville, by rail, &c.
Large numbers of our best farmers and
mechanics are leaving here yearly hith
erto they have steered their course to the
great Northwest. If the proper informa-
ton was disseminated here as to the adj
vantages and merits of the Southern por-
ton of the United States, in an agricultural
point of view, have no doubt but that
q considerable tide of the emigration that
is leaving here cou Id be diverted to the
South.
Any information OH the subjects referred
to, by mail will be most thankful received.
Yours respectfully,
r. r. STEVENSON, NJ. ID.
1t can be seen at glance that the writer
of this letter is a gentleman of intelligence.
The class of immigrants he represents
would M AXE most useful citizens, such as
would meet with warm welcome from
our people, and would be valuable acqui-
sition to any community.
We have no doubt of the truth of this
gentleman's statements. The rigorous, in
hospitable regions of the North contain
thousands of good men, who are looking
for a warmer climate. 1t will be seen that
they are ignorant of the agricultural and
other advantages of the souther portion of
the United States, and are anxious to gain
information. Tennessee can not invest
few thousand dollars in any better manner
than to provide for publications in cheap
form, giving TO the world something of
our resources as State. We know where
of we speak, when we say that thousands
ofpersons at the North and elsewhere are
feeling an interest in this State, and are
earnestly seeking information as to its re-
sources. The thousands of letters that have
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1873-01-07

reached US in the past two years making
inquiries on these subjects, afford conclu-
sive evidence, and if all the people could
have the matter brought before them as
we have, they would force the Legislature
to take such action as would provide for a
dissemination of the knowledge sought by
so many. 1t is a matter of vital impor-
lance to the State, and there has never
been time so opportune for its agitation.

WE heard gentleman say yesterday,
whose attention had been directed to the
purchase of a lot in that favored portion
of our. northeastern suburbs, where the
MaNr and his associates rejoice in the
possession of unimproved property, that
one of the reasons used to induce him to
puschase, was, that a street acouId be opened
there right away-he knew what he was
talking about, &c. The sequel shows that
he did know what he was talking about,
and only one more gear is required to open
streets all the way through the property in
and the ring will be Gin town." at least,
so far as streets are concerned. "Just one
more year." and what soft thing for the
ring! No salary required. 4

- Ii our city fathers will only itemize
their account of money expended for
street Improvements, and show on what
particular streets it was expended, giving
the exact amount expended on each street
for the past three years, it is believed by a
great many tax payers that the reason
why one of the ring wanted to run the
city government "just one more year I"
will be apparent. 1t will also be seen why
the Mayor is able to serve the city without
a salary and spend large sums Of money to
secure his election.

in the policy Of the country. So far it has
lot complied with the modest request,
but those who made it are determined to
discount the result. They affect to pre-
sumo Congress will repeal laws watch
they find stand in the way Of their polit-
ical aud private interests. Having con-
descended to ask for such action, they
take it for granted it will be done, and
stubbornly refuse to obey them until Con-
g-ess decides whether it will do their bid
ding or rot. It is the first time il the
history Of this country tina: an attempt
has been made to treat laws as n1llity.
or suspended, on any such frivolous pre-
text. The presumption is always in favor
of any law. rule or regulation in force.
and no man will be justified in acting as
though it would be set aside because he
demanded it should be. AS well may a
man steal a horse, petition the Legislature
to abolish the laws for the punishment of
larceny, and then demand suspension CT
action in his case till the Legislature
should "act definitely" On lis rather cool
proposition.

BELIEVING ABOUT BELIEF.

We have frequently heard this phrase:

only believe that they believe them" ap-
piled to religious professors: bu. it re-
mains for these times and for the wisdom
of a local re; orter to show that it is Of
vital Importance to community and Incl

THEIR BEST FRIENDS"

The Vicksburg Herald wishes now TO
appear before the colored people as one Of
their '.best friends" That the old rebel
element thinks of nothing so much as
how they may improve the moral, social,
industrial, financial and spiritual condi-
ton of the "plain country negroes" which
he calls them for the nonce. He had
designated them as "Murrells bandits" a
few lines before; but he was then trying
to give birth to different idea. Here is
the style of Lis reasoning:
On Monday eighty Of one hunired Win.
chester rifes arrived at Delta for Murrelis
bandits. and notwithstanding the law rr.
qures them to be kept with some arnCry.
tho weapons of destruction have already
been distributed, aad the ignorant negroes
are gong around feeling that they are the
monarchs Of the parish. We really sympa.
thize with the PLAIN country negroes in
their ignorance. The usurring scouUdrels
&. e. the Republicausl see but ona way by
gain, and that is by placing the unfortunate
black men between them and danger. Yhis
was done in Grant parish, and will be done
elsewhere when a struggle begins. And
vet the black man t;lins he is loved by the
Nuia:'o and the white tools OF Kellogg.
From, whence comes the danger: Which
side pointed the guns a. these plain
country negroes:" Why should the 'Hest
friends of the negroes want to murder
them by wholesale because "the usurping
scoundreis' possess an ill-gottea gain !?
Does che Herald man hold party that is
unable to defend another less his friend
than he WHO makes a murderous. unpro.
yoked attack upon him? II such be the
shape the friendship Of tie old rebels
takes for the negro. the latter may well
pray, 'S..ye me from my friends:'
In Madison parish. where the colored
people are prepared to defend themselves.
they are called ''Nu-rell's bandits" IL
Gran. parish. where they were over
powered by feroc:ous mob aud slargh-
tered without mercy. they are 'plain

OUR MINISTER TO MEXICO.

The very prompt acceptance by-Hou.
J. W. Foster o: an invitation to ad
dress the merchants of New Orleans
upon the general ideas of his mission.
is fay orabIe specimen CT American policy.
There will be a frank and friendly relation
ship established with our neighbor. There
will be no purpose. as there will be no need OF
fraud or force i'll bringing about that true
reciprocity in conlnsleia and social connec-
tons. which can alone promote the mutua!
interests o. the TWO countries. II we invade
Mexico. let it be with railroads. and
lawful enterprise. II she reta!iate. may 1t
be by sending Us the products of her mines
and fields. Such. 10 doubt. viii! be the
diplomacy taught by our government and
openly avowed by our minister. We have
little doubt that it will lie accepted in
similar spirit by the liberal and progressive
administration of President Tciada.
Our Chamber of Commerce is entitled to
the thanks of our merchants for having
secured such conference. In the gloom
which overspreads us. the CONNER
cia, mind does not perceive the light
that breaks from the lands beyond US.
Cuba now contributes greatly to our
commerce. Central America with her
many million pounds Of coffee. sugar
and cotton, has renewed the commercial
allegiance. Mexico has granted the right
of railway from the United States through
her richest mineral reg ions. She has com.
rleted her railroad from the capital to the
sea. and prolonged the line by a postal
steamship service to New Orleans. We Go
not choose to infringe upon the province OF
Hon. Mr.. Foster by expatiating upon these
subjects. But ali who would Ike tC impert
silver liars, in exchange for merchandise,
or entertain Span:ards who handle nothing
baser than gold onzas. should study this
trade. and by all means accept the invitation
to hear Mr.. Foster. Tue sterling character OF
the minister. the fact that he lisa son of the
valley, and come. from the powerful State
Of Indiana. intima.es that the administra-
ton is awake to the Importance OF close
and candid commercial connection with our
Southern republican sisters. 1t is the dawn
Of development which Can not but re.
dound to the advantage of our city.

THEY TRIED IT ONCE.

Mr.. McEnery regards the employment
OF the United State, troops to enforce tie
service of process as a novel and extra
ordinary proceeding. and gives 1t as his
opinion that Nj. DeB.anc would have
surrendered to civil officer if he had ap-
peared IL ST. Martin unattended. Of
course. Mr.. McEnery's opinion is simply
that of one man. and lie rather an inter-
ested advocate than al impartial judge.
Colonel Deklyne not long ago returned
from all almost truitless visit to Grant
parish because he lad no troops to enforce
servics of process. He would not have
shown much foresight to repeat the mis-
take in st. Martin. Tie insurgents in
Grant were acting under the advice, if
not under the absolute control, Of the
same central authority that directed the
movement in St. Martin. 1t will be
borne in mind that at the first interview
between Messrs. Deklyne and DeBlanc,
three miles out of St. Martiusville, the
latter began to dictate terms and exact
conditions. intiElatln5 that unless they
were agreed to he should refuse to give
himself up. 1t was not until the chief
deputy marsha! lad declared his iuten-
ton Of securing the parish with armed
men. who were already at hand and ready
to march on short notice, that the persons
who were wanted decided to submit. Had
there been no troops in the background OF
that picture, no force except that Of a
civil officer armed With nothing more than
the process of court. Colonel Deklyne
would have had repetition of his Colfax
experience. On tie whole. We think Mr..
McEnery's point not well taken. His
opinion. of the correctness Of which he is
SO confident" is not sustained by any
evidence. bu. seems to be fatty contra
dicted by an unbroken Chain Of transac'
tons in point.
