DYERsBURG FOR THE CAPITOL.
From the Dyersburg (Tenn.) Progress
The question is settled at last. We
feared it would be. The Humbolt Jour-
! ldl advises its contemporaries to think
O.. the new State movement dispassion-
aCely, and afieT our minds are rendered
I .Is-ssive by q perusal of the Journals ar
ticle, it tells us why we should have .
new State. "It is manifestly elear'' 10
/ the mind Of the Journal that there
should be a new State, because 'sthe
value and adaptation of the soil are
about the same, the social bearing of the
| people are about the same" These are
! excellent reasons, and we shall in future
use this as our argument to induce Cali
I fOrnia and Florida to coalesce. Their
soils are about the same, and we
see no reason why they should not
lock hands with each other. But
this argument Is trivial compared
with the Que next advanced in the
routine. We should favor the new State
movement because its being .'bounded
on the east by the Tennessee river, on
the north and west by the Mississippi,
and on the south by the TallahatChie,
indicate that nature herself intended It
as a teIT tory sovereign with itself"
This viii 20 away with all further dis
eussion on the subject doubtless, for ell
the people were waiting for was to knew
why we should have a new State. AN
we still urge that DyerSburg shall be the
capital, because her people are of about
the same social bearing Of other people,
and secondly, she is bounded on the
Z, h-rN y Z Y, rim
the east, north and west by Lewis creek.
These reasons are insurmountable, and
We hope no one viii be found whose
prejudices will lead him to dispute the
irfefutable position we have assumed in
the premises.
FAVORABLY IMPRESSED.
From the Trenton Tenn News
As our readers are aware, the subject
of forming a new State out of North |
Mis- issippi, West Tennessee and South |
west Kentucky, is again being agitated |
to q considerable extent just now, and |
on the twenty-ninth instant conven- |
tion, composed of delegates from the |
sections mentioned, will assemble in |
Jackson, Tennessee, for the purpose of
the movement, interchanging |
ideas, etc. We have so far remained /
silent upon the subject, waiting to see
what would be developed by its friends;
what advantages would be gained, what /
good accomplished, etc. We have been
desirous to be enlightened on these
points, but as yet We have received no
on the subject. Several
papers friendly to the cause have urged
it with great zeal, but beyond their zeal
they have said but little intelligently.
II the convention that meets at jackson
on the twenty-ninth is well represented
from the sections referred to, it will show
that they are interested in and in favor
Of the movement, and will either fan
The interest in the enterprise into q
lame or else put quietus upon it. We
are disposed to be favOTably impressed
with the idea. If the new State thus
Ormed would enclose in its boundaries
sections of country more identified with
zach other in commercial, agricultural
md mechanical pursuits, then one great
rood would be accomplished. 1t would
IlsO. perhaps, tend to q rapid increase Of i
Is growth and prosperity; divide more
qually the emOluments and honOrs of
state governments; and it is also urged
y some because it would give the south 1
wO more members in congress. There
} one idea connected with the move {
lent which we think somewhat hasty. {
We refer to the name of the projected I
tate. 1t would, in our opinion, be best T
, first secure State, then give it a |

STRONG EVIDENCE.
Evidences pour in upon Us from every .
lrectiOn that the new State movement =
to be complete success, and we have 7
b doubt but that convention will be =
,gely attended. Mississippi viii send d
? large delegation, composed of her ii
lleSC and most Influential citizens. Il
hey come imbued with the feelings of =,
ate against. the negro and carpetbag p
lie, and are determined to ally their n
rtunes with the coming State of Jack 4
n. Our people are ready for the influx Il
delegates, and our hospitality will q
Sc equal to the occasion. And here, .,
c may state, that we have seen map .,
the new State, drawn by our friend f.
Z. Campbell, in the very best style. 1t n
lows a compact, symmetrical sOver- y
gnty, well prOpOrtlOned and formed by ~
sture for the home OF a large popula- -,

lring the sitting Of the convention, and 81
Ill speak most eloquently in behalf of h
e new community, "into whose nos HI
lis the convention will breathe the q,

our great fire, we still have enough :,
