Obituary.

Died, near Knoxville on Sabbath morning
November 30th, 1873, John Y. French, in the
4Sth year of his age,
The deceased was born in Newburg, Orange
county, New York, November Sth, 1925.
When but six years old he was left an orphan,
both his parents dying within year of each
other But, under the kind providence of God,
his lot in childhood was cast among Christian
people, and his early training was not neglected,
At the age of sixteen he consecrated himself to
Christ and united with the Presbyterian Church.
afterwards, he felt strongly inclined TO the min
stry, and but for feeble health which prevented
close application to study, he would no doubt
have devoted himself to this high and holy call
ing. t..
Shortly after he was grown he went to Illinois,
where he remained until some four years since,
when he came to this place. December the ed
1858. no married Sarah Jessup, of Orange coun-
ty, New York, whom, with four children--three
sons and one daughter, he leaves to mourn his
loss. He did not, like too many upon going
West, leave his religion behind but, having.
"Christ formed within the hope Of glory" he
could but take his Savior with him, and this
living Christ within made his life a spiritual
reality which told for good, whether in the East,
West or South, .Ha..s
While he took deep interest in all Church
work, yet he was specially devoted to the Sun
day School work, and for which, in many re-
spects, he was happily qualified.
For nine years he was superintendent OF the
Au Sable Grove Church, III. was also ruling
elder in the same Church; and at the time Of
his death he was teaching in two schools; in the
morning in the school connected with his own
Church--the Second Presbyterian-and in the
afternoon in that Of the Second M. E. Church,

LOUISVILLE, TENN Nov OATH 1873.
"A meeting held mt this ploce on the I'd
inst, to take into consideration the want of
transportation facilities above Loudon on the
Tennessee river, was largely attended by the
citizens, who are deeply Interested in the sub
iect The meeting was organized by calling ii.
{. Sahell Esq to the Chair, and {. Il. Loveto
act as Secretary. A committee wac appointed
to draft preamble and resolutions, who reported
the following, which were unanimously adopt
ed
Whereas, 1t is the common duty Of a people
to act ana work for themselves and the general
welfare of their country; and
Whereas, The people of East Tennessee are
suffering and have suffered much and long, for
the want of a cheaper mode and channel for the
transportation of their surplus products to mar
ket paying enormous tariff rates compared with
other sections of the country, distances consid-
cred; and
Whereas, We believe the only sure and certail
remedy for relief is the opening up and estab~
fishing competing lines of transportation; and
Whereas, We deem it ofvast importance to the
people generally of East Tennessee land more
especially those living on or near said river
that the Tennessee River should at the earliest
practicable day, have regular line of steam
boat communication from Chattanooga to Knox
VILE to transport to market the surplus produce
on the river farms and those nearer the river
than the railroad and
Whereas We believe that the general progress
of the country demands the practicable use Of
this natural channel, in which, in a distance Of
| 20 miles-by the river--from Loudon to Knox
Vile, there are probably four miles of shoals
which if made navigablo would open contin
! uoGs water route from Knoxville to Chnttanoo-
| ga, running through TIE principal fertile lands
| of East Tennessee therefore,
Resolved, That we earnestly call upon Senator
| Brownlow, Hons. Horace Maynard, VIM.
! Crutchfeld, and the entire East Tennessee dell
! egation in Congress, to exert their influence for
an appropriation by the Government for the
| improvement of the Tennessee river from
| Loudon to Knoxville; sum warranted by its
| Importance and commensurate with its appro-
priations wisely and justly granted more fa-
vored sections of the country to encourage
| water transportation.
| ReSolvcd, That we will cooperate with and
| encourage with our freights any one putting n
steamboat on the river, making regular trips
| from Knoxville and Chattanooga during such
| seasons rs the river is navgabe.
RESOLVED, That the Knoxville CHRoNIcLE
and all public journals in East Tennessee ia
vorable to the cause of general improvement
are requested to publish these proceedings, the
Secretary to furnish said journals with copies.

Hon. w. G.. McAdoo, writing from Coal
Creek of the coal of that region, after COM
plimenting Capt. Jaques and Col. Nc.
Ghee for the management of their roads,
says:
We came hither from Knoxville, thirty
miles, by railway last Saturday for the
purpose of ascertainlng the precise facts
relative to the coal supply The famous
mines g at this place, which send out
daily to almost every part of the South
hundreds of tons of the finest coal on the
continent. Here, in the last five years, has
sprung into existence a large town. devot-

ners are chiefly Welsh, and bring their
families with them. They are hardy, indus
trious and religious but alas! they ''strike"
too, rs well as the railroaders; and here,
even the times are out of Joint"
In the summer and early autumn it is
easy to procure cars here; but the Teunes-
see railways do not allow their cars to cat-
ry coal south Of Atlanta. The shorter trip
pays better; and railroad companies, like
The " rest of mankind, work for their own
interest, and do not take much trouble to
please coal companies or coal consumers.

A Fine Display

We would call the attention of our read
ers to the advertisement of Peter Kern
the Market Square Baker and CONNECTION
er, to be found in another column. Mr..
Kern has certainly one of the finest stocks
Of goods in his line ever offered to the cit
liens of Knoxville, and it only needs to be
seen to be appreciated. He is prepared to
bake any kind of cake, ornamental or
plain, on the shortest notice, and guaran-
tees satisfaction in price and quality. His
stock of candies, imported and domestic,
plain and ornamental, is large and varied,
and can not be surpassed in the city.
His figs and raisins are about the finest
we have ever seen, while his stock of can
ned fruits is large and complete. In fact,
he has everything usually found in first
class Bakery and Confectionery. Most of
his goods have been purchased recently
and at the lowest cash figures, and hence
he can sell as cheap as the cheapest, and is
determined not to he undersold. Mr., Kern
is pleasant man to deal with, and will
take pleasure in showing his stock to his
old as well as to as many new customers as
may call upon him. Call and see for your
self.

A worthy Compliment.

A correspondent of the Morristown Ga
.eHe, writing from Knoxville about the
Vaughn trial and Judge Emmons, re-
marks on the application to continue the
case on account of the sick ness of the de-
fendant:
Judge Emmons made many friends by
this vcIV manifest disposition to see that
justice was done Gen. Vaughn. His re-
marks as to the propriety of postponing
the trial and giving the defendant all the
advantages possible in the case, indicated
the spirit of a great American jurist-an
administration of the law instead of that
of partisan hate. SO far, Judge Emmons
has sought to administer justice. This
can not be said of all those who occupy
these high positions"

Religious Items.

The new Cumberland Presbyterian
Church near Powell's Station, will be ded-
icated to-day at 1890 o'clock. Rev. Mr.
Dobson, of Greeneville. will preach the
dedicatory sermon. A large congregation
is expected to be present.
From a correspondent at Powell's Sta

progress a. Beaver Greek Church. Five
persons have been converted go far.
The revival at the Baptist Church is
still in progress with undated interest.
1t was thought the other day that the wor
thy paster, Rev. DR., Mays, would break
down under his ardueus labors, but he
seems to have gathered new strength, and
is again prepared for the battle. The in
terest in this revival has been remarkable,
and the house of worship has been crowd
ed every night. Scores have been con-
verted, and many more are awakened.
The pastor has been indefatigable in his
labors, which are now being crowned
with great success. Let the good work go

About the dang,

We learn from the physicians attending
Mangrum, Drs. Rogers and French, that
his condition Saturday evening was much
more serious than Mt any previous time.
He suffered intensely yesterday morning,
and spit up some blood-rather bad sign
and in the afternoon his sutferings were so
severe that it was thought by the jailor
that he would die. The Doctor being Mt
once sent for, he gave him medical atten-
dance, and he again revived to some ex-
tent. He is, however, man of eXtraor-
binary determination, and may get well
but his physicians say that any ordinary
man would have been dead long ago.
He has eleven duck shot and three large
balls in his chest, eight in his left leg, five
in his right leg, three in his left arm and
and six or seven in his head, making thir-
ty-four duck-shot and three large balls.
Mangrum will have to carry about with
him if he survives. He himself has not
given up all hope of recovery, but keeps
apparently in good spirits.
From Loudermlk, nothing further has
been heard than what has already been
given to the public.
Ganum Mynatt has not been captured as
yet, but will doubtless be ere many days
| from what we can learn. A gentleman
| visiting Mr.. Loves house, the other day
| found him absent from home and was in
| formed that Mr.. Love intended to bring
Mynatt back with him when he returned
