which, among military men, is said 10 be IN

Inventor.
Everywhere In the fields Of England, France
and Germany may be seen implements OF hus.
bandry of American manufacture; while
American enterprise and diplomacy have un.
barred the gates that secluded The ancient
people Of the East from free commerce with
tba Western nations, and American fabrics o1
every class are now widely and rapidly ex'
changed for the products of the Orient.
While such are the magnificent achieve
ments Of our country In all the arts that con-
tribute 70 the advancement and elevation OF
mankind, the products of It's agriculture are
no less startling In their magnitude than
those OF Its manufacturing skill and resources.
The statistics of population embraced In the
eighth and ninth census of the United States.
(Which form most Interesting study,) show
that at the annual mean rate OF Increase eXhib-
tied during the past TWO decades the popula-
lion of the Republic will probably exceed one
hundred millions at the close OF The present
century or within the next twenty years.
Yet great aud wonderful as has been our
augmentation in population the ratio Of in
crease In our agricultural products, used as
means OF subsistence, has nearly trebled our
ratio of increase in population.
Coincident with this excess OF production
over consumption in our food supply, we an
nually export over two hundred and twenty.
five millions of dollars In gold value of cotton
the fruit of that providential plant, which has
its natural and invncible empire upon oul

ABOUT THE LAVA BEDS.
The Natural Fortress of the nodoc Indians

Maj. MacFuley of Gen. Sheridan's staff.
gives the following interesting facts about
the lava beds where the Modoc Indians
are intrenched defying the troops of the
Government. 7.tN,- -T-
The lava beds, he says, are on spur of
the Cascade, but they are west of the main
range. Off to the.west is the Coast Range,
and, to tell the truth, the country is almost
all mountain and valley everywhere
around there. II is ,.iia COUNTRY. 1he
lava beds were caused by volcanic convul-
sion. The trap rock has been violently
thrown up while heated, and as it cooled
large caverns were formed in some places,
and in others the rock is raised in points,
knobs and various fantastic forms.n
ut could be easily defended"'
''Yes: it is a natural fortification; al-
most impregnable. One man could hold
at least ten, if he knew what he was about,
and if it became too warm for him there
are dozens of lines of retreat through these
lines of caves" .H
"Is there any vegetation in the Lava
Beds"
"They are totally destitute of vegetation
nothing but these odd forms of the up
heaved rock, and occasionally small BODY
of water. Taken as whole, it is about the
widest and most desolate region / have
ever seen.n
"How about Captain Jacks escape, if he
wished to leave?'
HE would have no trouble at all in
leaving. He might leave half dozen men
there to keep up appearances, and be off to
the mountains with the rest of his band
days before any one outside knew anything
about it. And that is what think he will
do or has done already. You can't sur
round the whole bed, and if any place is
left open he could very easily make his
way to it.n
'If he was shut in moderately close how
could he get provisions ?'
II think he is pretty well provisioned
now. You could take whole herds of cat
tie in there and keeps them in the valleys
or underground passages in perfect safety.
1t is my opinion that that is what he has
done already.

burned. Enough gas is thus saved to heat
the air in the hot blast ovens and some
times enough to keep up steam i'm the en-
glne boilers. This is brief explanation
OF the manufacture of pig iron as made at
lockwood.
THE VALUE or THIS INDUSTRY.
But one stack is now in operation, which
turns out about twenty tons of metal every
twenty-iour hours. A new and larger
one is now being constructed which Will
be done by the lst of July. When the
two are in operation, about seventy tons
OF iron will be made every day and night.
over TWO hundred men find steady en-
ployment about these works at good wages.
When in full blast, the iron produced will
bring aboutS2, 500 perday. The value of such
an industry to the immediate neighborhood
ana TO East Tennessee can easily be under
stood. Since the work first began the
Hoane Iron Company has expended seven
~ thousand dollars in building roads.
Ihey are now building narrow gauge
railway from the furnace to the river, a dis
tance of five miles. 1t is nearly COMPLETED
ana when in operation will fairly illustrate
Ihe advantages of the narrow gauge roads
for East Tennessee. A small engine built
at pittsburgh is now running trains regu-
larly from the river to its present termi-
nus.
When we consider the immense benefits
such industries bring to our section we
can only wonder that our idle. or comnar-
atively idle capital, is not used in such en-
terprises. Walden's ridge is one vast bed
OF coal from Sale Creek to Cumberland
Gap. We have described the mountains
of it at lockwood. At Oakdale they
have opened vein nine feet thick.
me whole valley along this ridge
is rich with iron ore. The red
fossiliferous and brown hematite ores
which are found near each other, make al
most any kind of iron desired, Lockwood
and Oakdale (of which we will write i'm
detail next week. are but the beginning of
the development of the iron interests of
East Tennessee which competent men
pronounce far surprising that of any other
section of our country.

Louisiana Troubles.

NEW ORLEANS, April 21.-The steamer
Hodge, with United States troops aboard
left to-day for Colfax Court House.
Kellogg's officials have left ST. Mary's
parish. The impression is gaining credit
that the Federal troops are to require every
parish to protect Kellogg's tax gatherers.
a telegram from Governor Kellog TO the
U. s.. Attorney General, received to-day,
is as follows:
Matters are quiet in Louisiana, with
the exception of four or five parishes. NV
communication TO Geueral Emery, REQUEST
ing that troops be sent to these remote
parishes, was with a view to prevent any
probable outbreak.
The statement that / issued commits
sions TO fusion officers in Grant parish, or
TO any other than those first commits
stoned, is untrue. ..-.
The State taxes are being collected rap
idly. Tax resistance is breaking down
The collections during the past thirty days
exceed the collections for the same time in
any previous year. The amount of taxes
and license collected in New Orleans during
the first quarter of 1872 was S133, 600, and
the amount collected during thefir quar-
ter of 1873 was S254 600. We collected but
little during January and February, owing
to political differences. ..0

An April Snow Storm.

On Omaha dispatch says OF the late
storm it continued to rage in most fearful
manner on April 10, 16 and II. So dense
has the. snow been during this time that it
was impossible to go from the cars to the
hotel. Parties of ten persons would lock
arms and go to the hotel from the trains
in this manner, and frequently several OF
the parties would be overcome by the vio-
lence of storm and would have TO be
dragged or carried the rest of the way. An
eyewitness tells me that he was passen-
ger on the up-train, several years ago,
when violent storms ragged on the line of
the road, and that he never witnessed q
storm whose violence has equalled this.
Tales of suffering reach us from the
snow-bound travellers in Grand Island.
Three men started for the hotel, going
from the train, and have never been heard
OF since. They were lost in the drifts, and
have perished,

FROM GREENEYILLE.
HoIstOn Presbytery.

Your correspondent has no desire to fill
your columns with religious items, or to
thrust the work of the church upon the no
tice of those who may have no sympathy
with such information when found in a
secular paper, yet, as this town has been
somewhat famous for Startling tragedies. -
it is to be hoped that only balance NAV
be struck, but that the moral and christian
community may come to occupy such
ground as to be felt more in rolling hack
the tides of iniquity. To reach this grand
consummation, the church 1--WE mean all de-
nominations must come up to the Gospel
standard, dwelling together in unity and
working for the good of the world.
Here, in this town, it has been said by q
number of the Oldest citizens, is TO be seen
now more of real spiritual oneness than
ever before.
For three weeks services were held in the
Methodist Episcopal Church. Then in
connection with the Presbytery, services
were held in the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church for the most of two weeks, and on
Friday OF last week the Holston Preesby,. eeslbS,
pry. Tpery % we McCorkle was elected modera,
tor and Mr.. A. B. Ingersoll, secretary.
Considerable business of importance was
disposed of during the business sessions,
and as IN the other churches here the SER
vices were held at y A. VI. and NJ. The
grand feature of all these meetings was the
perfect renovation of the churches, or rath-
er the reconstruction of the membership.
There exists now the most perfect har-
mony and fraternal spirit that could be
desired, There have been in all about
thirty who have professed to be converted.
Scores of church members who had almost
lost their interest in the church, are now
earnestly labOring to do their whole duty
as Christians. Old difficulties between
persons that have been hindrances to the
cause of Christ have melted like the dew
of the morning, and where unkind feel
ings existed, now Christian love reigns.
The pastors of the various churches,
with their congregations, labored together
during all these meetings, forgetting all
denominational lines. 1t would have been
impossible for stranger to have discov-
cred any difference.
1t is to be hoped that the position now
taken in seeking those higher walks may
enable all to push forward in the good
cause till the end.
The Presbytery adjourned on Monday at
3 p. NJ. The series of meetings closed last
night. II. ID. b.

Senator Morton on Railroads

Much interest attaches to the proposed
address on railroads. which ia soon to be
delivered before the Indianapolis Board of
Trade by Senator Morton. AS the recog-
nized leader in Congress Of the admins
tration party, the utterances of Mr.. Nor
ton on any of the great issues before the
country are always regarded as worthy of
attention. In view of the present railroad
status his views at this time are looked
upon as especially important. 1t is under
stood that in his forthcoming address he
will discuss the question of the relations Of
railroads to the public and TO the govern
ment in oil its phases. He is known TO be
in accord with the extreme Western feel

Terrible Outrage and Murder in Arkansas.

The Augusta (Arkansasl Bulletin pub
fishes letter from Union county, Arkan-
sas. giving an account of a horrible out
rage upon and murder of white woman
by a negro in that county. A few weeks
ago married woman went TO q neighbours
house to remain several days, but found no
one at home and started to return, when
the negro stopped her horse and took her
off, and drove, pushed and pulled her eight
miles into the bottom lands, where he tied
her to tree and ravished her, keeping her
there for three days. On the second day,
while still tied to the tree, she gave birth
to q child.
On the third day the husband Of the un-
fortunate woman, not finding her at the
neighbor's, but discovering her horse
where the negro had left it tied, collected
some friends and began a search, which
resulted in finding her dead body tied to
the tree, the negro having murdered her
with blows upon the head, inflicted with a
club. The murderer was soon afterwards
captured by party of negroes, who were
assisting in the search. At the husbands
request, the negroes built two log heaps,
and, setting them on fire, placed the negro
between them. They were twenty-four
hours burning him, and at intervals sub
jecting him to horrible torture, such as
cutting off his toes and strips of his body.
There were three other negroes concerned
in ravishing the woman. They were sub
sequently caught and shot

A WISCONSIN OPERATIo STAR
Recent letters from Europe to the
New York Press are ecstatic in praise
of Miss Emma Abbot, q Milwaukee
girl who some time since went to
Milan to prepare herself for the oper-
attic stage A correspondent of the
New York Home Journal declares
that Miss Abbot is destined TO create

and we think his former pupils will
agree with US that his daughter does
not inherit her musical gifts from
him. The H5me Journal says of her:
The wonderful talent evinced by
the young American became the SUI
preme theme of conversation in the
musical circles OF Paris. Adelina
Patti heard of it, and invited Miss
Abbot to her villa She sang for the
diva, who, upon the completion of
the aria, folded her in sisterly en-
brace. and said: ~ love you because
you love your ars, and see that you
will become great" She invited
Miss Abbot to visit her repeatedly,
and they became warmly attached
TO each other--a true art sisterhood.

made a prOtege of g brilliant young
American singer, few over Paris,
and all the great managers soon took
the hint. When Franchi, the re-

his enthusiastic delight knew no

little songstrnss by offering to take
her to Russi. at once. TO sing with

her breath away. Patti clapped her
hands and exclaimed: "You must
