WOMEN OF THE SoUTH.-Like the
captive Hebrews, they sing not now
the songs that once walked to music
sweet their David's harp. for that
harp now hangs upon the willows
by the river of Babylon, where they
sit down and weep over fallen Judea.
True, they sing the songs of marri-
age feasts and vintage ingatherings,
yet they come with flowers and tears
to testify their sympathy in the sor-
row of their land, and their undying
appreciation of their gallant dead.
What better offering has sorrow or
grief than the timid hearts ease, or
the modest fern? What purer testi-
monial of the heart than the humble
violet, planted by beauty's hand
over the loved ones gravef As the
trees that grew over The grave of the
daughter of Thrace, at stated periods,
dropped the tears of their branches
over the resting place, so do these
noble women come, when Spring
flowers bloom, to plant the memo
rial shrub, and shed their tears of
love over the human mounds that
tell where our heroes sleep. For
this | give them homer and praise,
and uufeeling must be the heart that
does not do homage TO our Southern
women-the. perfection of beauty
and the glory Of the land. With
them patriotism is a religion, and
love an element of life. The hour of
adversity is their hour of triumph.
Does the storm gather and the tenn
pest sweep? Man, the BashaR oak,
falls before the fury of the blast. but
woman, the willow by the waters,
flourishes, beautiful in her humility
and luxuriant in her sorrow, when
the tempest is over. Do the thun-
ders crash or the lightnings strike?
Man, the towering pine, is riven by
the stroke. Woman, the humble
flower, nestled among our garden
plants, emits sweet fragrance when
the storm is hushed. Firm, constant,
devoted patriotism, pure as the wa
ters from Chindara S Fount," en-
thuses their bosoms and signalizes
o. their lives. Meek, gentle, and con-
fding; devotion and love, sweet as
the fruits of the " Amrita tree
characterize their every action.
Generous aud selfSacrificing, they
stripped beauty of its jewels and
home Of its luXuries for the success
OF their cause and the comfort of
their braves. And now that the flag
is uprolled, and the jacket of gray
hangs empty on the wall, they bring
their offerings of love for those who
"Died for the land they could not

use of all the pretty weather. a
great deal of blowing has been done
in this part of the county, and the
people are now getting ready to SOW

Wheat is looking promising every

In the last six weeks I have been
over good portions of jefferson,
Hawkins and Hamblen counties, and
find manifest spirit Of Improvement
everywhere in the building and re-
pairing of farm houses and out
buildings.
ST. Clair has been for a long time
in a state of inertia but just now it
is the most lively place have been
in for some time, and bids fair to in
crease in population and wealth.
st. Clair affords at the present
time two day goods stores. a tanery,
and two extensive boot and shoe
shops, besides an extra workman who
manufactures saddles, brides and
harness, in the best style and to suit
his customers. We have also a large
cabinet shop, competent to turn out
furniture of all kinds.
The place is not Incorporated, but
will be in May next; and then those
who wish bargains and desirable
places to live at had better move to
st. Clair, and grow up with the town.
1t is one of the best produce mar
kets in the country. 1t is six miles
from the Railroad and produce can
be sold here at the same price as on
the Railroad. Corn is worth 55c. !;
oats 40c the same they command on
the Railroad.
St. Clair is surrounded by a good
country, where farming is carried on
to perfection. Good society and
good schools abound. 1t is well
watered and adapted to the cultiva-
tion of all kinds of produce.
Lots can be purchased here cheap.

making preparations to have that
city thoroughly cleansed and puri-
fed before the advent of the hot.

will contribute to it, a visitation of
any epidemic disease. Mayor Staub.
of Knoxville is also out in q letter
to the citizens of that town urging
them to a prompt and thorough
cleansing of their lots and premises,
while the weather is cool. We call
ed the attention of our city fathers
last week to the condition of Nor.
ristown. 1t is simply outrageously
filthy and disease provoking. Dead
hogs lie scattered in every direction,
as many as five in a pile. while nee
essary houses are running over, or
offending the nostrils, even at this
season. of all who pass In square
of their location. We shall keep up

be removed aOao-sanitary measures

Droach Of warm weather, when the

RELIGIOUS REvIvAL.-Nearly ev-
cry exchange paper that comes to
US contains notices Of interesting re-
ligious meetings. One of the most
powerful and thoroughly awakening
revivals ever known in East Tennes-
see is probably now in progress at
Knoxville. It was commenced in
the Second Presbyterian Church on
the 18th of January, last, and has
alternated between that and the
First Presbyterian church ever since.
All protestant denominations parti-
cipated in the gracious work and it
went on gathering interest and
strength daily, until neither of the
churches was sufficiently capacious
to contain the vast multitude that
was attracted to the meetings. Sat-
urday night the services were trans
ferred to the Opera House, the use
of that Urge hall being rendered to
the churches by Mr.. Staub, and there
was no abatement in the deep inter
est hitherto manifested. Upwards
OF sixty Penitents were applicants
at the altar for prayer, and four con-
versions were professed. The Chron-
icLe closes its account of the maatipo,
as follows:
No mere newspaper report can do
justice to the feeling that at present
exists IN this community on the
subject of religion. A perfect ava
lanche of grace, we reverently say,
seems to be pouring out upon our
Churches, and men who never
thought before, perhaps, hang with
brcathless interest on the words of
divine truth. as they fall from the
lips of Gods chosen ministers.
