Specimens of Ore.

We were shown number of specimens
of ore yesterday by Mr.. G. w. Colbert,
an agent for a Cincinnati iron company,
who makes his headquarters at Jacksboro',
but is continually travelling throughout
East Tennessee, Western Virginia. por-
tions of North Carolina and Kentucky,
in the interest of that company, looking
up the mineral resources of this country.
The specimens referred to were from Car
ter county, Tenn, and Buncomb county
North Carolina, and were as pure as any
we have seen, containing from IS to 50
per cent iron. The Carter county ore con-
tanned IS per cent. and will average in
the furnace about 60 per cent, while
the specimens of Buncombe county ore
contained about 95 per cent, but will not
average more than from 20 to IS per cent
He spoke very favorably of these ores, and
in fact is in favor of new State, composed
of East Tennessee, West Virginia, a por-
ton of North Carolina and Kentucky,
making mountain and mineral State.
His ideas on the subject are very good,

ReYivals.

We learn an interesting revival is in
progress at Pleasant Hill, about IA miles
from the city, in the 10th district. 1t was
commenced last Saturday one week ago,
by Rev. Thomas II. Russell, of the NJ. +.
Church, who held two days meeting,
after which Rev. John Stamper pushed on
the well begun work, and glorious results
followed. Up to Sunday night there We're
some 35 to 40 conversions, and as there
were still number of seekers it is pro
posed to continue the meeting tonight
and for an indefinite period.
The Baptist denominations closed last
night a protracted meeting at Chestnut
Hollow, conducted the by Revs. Way
land and Thomas. The meeting met with
success and several conversions took place.

Union Revival.

We learn that one of the greatest revi-
walls ever known in the neighborhood of
Murphy's Chapel, about eight miles from
this city, has just closed at that place. The
meeting was carried on by Revs. Messrs.
Salier, Handy, Kennedy, Littleand others,
representatives of three or four different
denominations, and resulted in the con-
version of about forty souls. II is said that
the gracious outpOurings of Gods spirit
surpassed anything ever witnessed there,
and persons were converted who had
long since been given up by their
neighbOrs, rs lost to all religious influence.
This is another instance showing that
when the armies of the Lord unite and
work together tremendously, Satan's host
retires in CONSERVATION. If more of these
union meeting would take place the cause
of religion would advance more rapidly.

From Tuesduy'S DaHy.l
From the mail agent on the western
bound train, we learned yesterday, that all
the sick at Jonesboro', are doing well, with
the exception of two cases of cholera re-
lapse. These parties will doubtless die.
From the same source, we learned that
lwo persons were taken down with some
thing of cholera nature at BULBS Gap,
and considerable excitement prevails.
From the conductor the eastern bound
train we learned that there were some
three or four deaths from cholera at Chat
tanooga, during Sunday, but that they
were all among the lower classes-persons
who did not take care of themselves and
that there is little or no excitement pre-
vaiing.
A colored man named Eldridge Powell,
died at McMillan's station, on Saturday
evening. He had been in the employ OF
McCallum 81 Co., at their tobacco factory
in this city, but those gentlemen having
sold out their presses, he had gone to Nc
MILAN to work last Tuesday, but the lime
stone water not agreeing with him he be-
came ill and died as above stated.
There were no deaths in Knoxville from
cholera during the past week

Something for Farmers 10 Ponder.

The experience of the past year proves
that wheat put in with drill, will yield
from two to ten bushels of wheat more to
the acre than sowed in the ordinary way.
This fact can be PROVED by the testimony
of every Farmer in East Tennessee aOhO
used q drill last gear. We know of sew
eral instances where the additional yield
of one crop more than paid for the drill.
To enable the Farmers of East Tennes-
see to possess, one of these most valuable

reach of all. Ample time will be given so
