We copy the above from line
in the market report of this paper,
of the 18th inst, to call public at
tention to the fact that an in
digenous plant, growing wild in Ten
nessee, which brings at the Capital of
the State dollar and twenty cents a
pound, to export to China, deserves
the care and culture of our enterpris-
ing citizens.
There are few roots in our mountains
or gardens that will sell for dollar a
pound, but the Chinese love our fra
grant ginseng quite as devoutedly as
we love their fragrant tea. While,
however, the Heather Chinee is full of
art and industry to raise and manjpu-
late the leaves of the tea shrub or tree,
we still refuse to cultivate the hardy
mountain plant which might return
many millions 10 compensate for
simple labor, by both males and fe-
males working on the farm,
Ginseng is easily raised, if putin the
right place. The writer once set out
a quantity Bays Mountain, Knox
county, in this State, and planted
some of the seeds; but the plants were
all dug up by some one TO steal the val
liable roots. A good Usage hedge would
protect ginseng field from depreda-
ton. We have no doubt it will pay to
multiply this well known commercial
article largely by proper industry and
enterprise. The plants need rich,
moist, shady ground.

From gentleman just from Jacks
boro', Campbell county, we learn that
the grasshoppers have made their APP.
pearance in that neighborhood and
are devouring everything green that
comes in their way. He says that
about one.fourth of a mile from Jacks
boro', to the north of the place, he
saw a stretch of country about one
fourth of a mile wide, and from half
to one mile long, which was covered
so thickly with them that he could
not lay down his walking stick with
out touching one of them. They were
travelling slowly westward, and are
eating up everything before them. He
says they are a different kind of grass
hopper from any he has ever seen, and
that they have a red head.
We learned on 22d inst, from Sheriff
Gossett, that the grasshoppers are very
bad in the neighborhood of Mr.. George
w. Mabry's place about six miles west
of this city, and that Mr.. Mabry with
the assistance of number of men,
were trying to keep them from cross
ing the road out Of a wheat field into
his cornfields. We trust that the
plague will not become TO be general in
East Tennessee.

Visiting brethren were then intro
duced and obligated, when the regular
openening routine was gone through
with.
The report of the Grand Worthy
| Patriarch contained much information
of an encouraging nature to every
| friend of temperance in the jurisdic>
| ton. This was es pecially true of Sui
| Ivan county. The members of the or
| der have been more active than the
past term, and altogether the outlook
was encouraging.
In reference to the degree" feature,
mentioned at last session, the Grand
| Worthy Patriarch, reported that the
G.. S. had corresponded with the NJ.
w. &. who had, however, discouraged
the idea and accordingly recommended
| that the Grand Division does not deem
it advisable to adopt the degree system,
which recommendation was concurred
in.
The G. W. p. reported that he had
failed to secure the services of Mr.
| White as lecturer.
Mr.. Shepard moved that Messrs. A.
! M. McBath, G.. IL. Bomar and Harvey
| Clark be appointed committee to cor
respond with the M. w. S. in regard to
securing the services of lecturer in
propagating the order.
Mr.. Clark reported that he had OBJ
tanned a copy of the deed to the Tenn
perance Hall property, and suggested
that book be purchased wherein to
record the same and such other mat.
! tiers as pertain TO the action OF the Board
of Trustees.
Messrs. McBath, Bomar and Shep-
ard were appointed a committee on
credentials.
Thefollowing resolution was adop-
ted
Resobcd, That this Grand Division
recommend to its members, that, in
view of the dangers menacing the
public from the election of intemper-
ate persons to office, they give their
support and influence only to men OF
known sobriety.
The resolution produced some dis.
cussion and it was evident that more
temperance and less politics, if neces'
sary, would actuate the members in
the future.
The Grand Division adjourned after
a harmonious session until the annual
meeting on the 4th Thursday in Octo-
Der next, to meet at the Hall of Knox
vile Division, No. 3.

TEMPERANCE AFFAIRS.
Col. ). J Hickman at the opera House


Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather Tuesday eve, the DIST inst,
the Opera House was nearly crowded
by ladies and gentlemen, young and
old, to listen to another address by that
able champion of the temperance
cause, Col. j. j. Hick man. 1t would
he impossible for us to do justice to
Col. Hickman in attempting to give
synopsis Of his able and earnest APP
peal in behalf of the cause, but would
simply state that in Ipoint Of pathos
and deep earnestness we have never
heard it surpassed, He directed the
principal portion of his discourse to
the Churches of Knoxville, and plead
in behalf of the wives and mothers of
the land-of the widows and the or
phans-of the countless thousands who
daily fill a drunkard's grave, and of
the many noble youths of our own
city who are being dragged down to
ruin by this curse Of the land-intems
perance-for the Churches to wake
up to their duty, and make
war upon this powerful enemy
of society, peace ana Happiness. He
urged the members OF the churches to
unite with the Order of Good Tenn
plars, and there use their influence in
behalf of the temperance cause, and
not stand by with their arms folded
while all around them the noblest
youths of the land are perishing.
He closed by desiring to see an eX-
preston of the audience on the subject,
and requested all in favor of the lem
perance movement to rise to their feet,
when about half of the audience rose.
He then asked if there was minister
in the house who would pledge him
self to espouse the temperance cause in
his church, when DIR. Cunnyngham,
of the NJ. T.. Church. South, and several
visiting ministers-stranger to us, who
are probably here as Grand Jurors
! rose aud enlisted in the war. The
pledge was then circulated, and thirty
| persons signed the petitions for mem
bership and were duly initiated into
the Order of Good Templars, after the
audience had withdrawn, This makes
seventy-nine persons Col. Hickman
has initiated into this Order during his
two visits in this city. We only regret
that he could not remain "A week, and
trust that success may crown his effort,
wherever he may go.

From the Memphis Ledger we learn
that a man named Woodson, local
mail agent at Grand Junction, in this
State, was arrested last week 10y Col.
Jno. b. MINIS, Special Agent of the
PostOtfice Department, on a charge of
stealing money from Registered letters.
1t is time that such men were dealt
with more vigorously. 1t is rather
poor encouragement to Government
officers to do their duty when thieves
are arrested for stealing the mails and
discharged by Federal Judges or other
officers, on giving bail less than the
amount stolen.

One of the Democratic candidates
for county office seems to change his
mind occasionally. At Powell's Sta
ton, he wanted the advocacy of the
Civil Rights Bill made the unpardon-
able sin. In conversation with a reli-
able colored man of this city, he talk
ed in different strain. He said, " All
this talk about civil rights is uncalled
for. If 1 want to send my children to
school with yours, and they set togeth~
er on the same bench, it doesn't make
mine auy blacker nor yours any
whittier" Will the p. and II. define
the position as to that candidate ?

NEW RAILROADS.
some Facts and Figures Abouta June.
tion WIGh the Cincinnati southern

zion Win the Cincinnati southern
For some time past the idea of CONS
p'ting railroad line from this place to
Chattanooga, has been uppermost in
the minds OF some of our leading and
most enterprising citizens, but hereto.
fore the way did not seem clear for the
establishing of such line, until the
location of the Cincinnati Southern
Railroad was completed, when the
project was again agitated by some of
its warm supporters, and as result
we are reliably informed that a COM
pauy has been formed for the building
Of road from Knoxville to form u
junction with the Cincinnati South
ern, where that road crosses the Emo.
ry river, about seven miles from King
ston, and that the proper legal steps
have been taken to procure "a charter.
We are informed that the Company
consists of some of the best business
men of our community, and to all ap-
pearance they mean business, and
intend to carry out the project.
Col. A. Terry, who is somewhat aC-
quainted with the country through
which this new railroad will be likely
to pass. aud Mr.. Warning, Civil En-
gineer have been looking over maps
and figuring on the probable cost per
mile, should the route spoken of be
adopted. He thinks that the road can
be built at about $50, 900 per mile.
THE PROBABLE ROUTE
will he from Knoxville across Black
Oak Ridge at the Montgomery road
gap and down Hines valley to Clinch
river, thence down CliuCh river, on
the southside, to the forks of Emory
and Clinch, where the latter river will
have to be bridged, after which, it is
but few miles to the junction. An.
other route spoken of is to cross Clinch
river at Hickory Creek, but taking
this route, would necessitate the build
| ing of bridges over Poplar creek and
Emory river, and as there is nothing
to be gained by it, the distance being
! the same on either side, 1t is not likely
! that the last named route will be adopt
ed, as the former is undoubtedly TIC
route. From Grassy valley TO the
mouth of Clinch river, il will be neces-
sary to keep near the river, to avoid
| heavy grading. 1t is an air line OF
about SO miles from this city to the
! lullCNlOu, Z llllltS lIblll INlliSSlVus IlS
would open Few route from this
place to Chattanooga of about the same
distance, besides opening out a rich and
| fertile valley as well as untold mineral
wealth. But the enterprise will not
likely stop there. Direct railroad con
nection between this place and Nash.
vile has long been considered neces
sity. A road has already been bull
from Nashville to Lebanon, and from
that place to the proposed junction is
an air line of ninety miles, and We
doubt not but what ere long this com
pany will push this new road through
to Lebanon, and thus give us direc
connection with Nashville by a rout,
eighty miles shorter than the one W.
are now compelled to use. AS to some
of the benefits to be derived by thi
new railroad project, we refer our read
ers to what "A prominent citizen think
of it, as expressed in communication
to be found elsewhere.
