TENNESSEE NEWS.

The recent revival at Cleveland resulted
in fifty conversions.
Cotton growing has been found profta-
bic in McMinn county.
A new bank at Charleston commenced
business on the 1st inst.
A general convention Of the BaptiSts of
Tennessee will convene in Murfreesboro on

The people in the CoEasauga country are
said to be a good deal excited about the
Tellico Narrow Gauge.
The Athens Post diSlikes TO say it-but
there is not a first-class road in McMinn
county, with all its wealth and enterprise.
The will of Jas. Webb was lately decided
in Rutherford county to be invalid, and set
aside. The decision cuts off many descend
ants from an interest in the estate.
The revival meeting at the Methodist
Church, South, Charleston, Tenn, had re-
suited in about sixty conversions up tO the
30th ult., when the meeting was still con-
tinuing with undated interest.
The Jasper Literary Society debated the
question, "WhO is the greatest man Ameri-
ca has produced" Henry Clay, Gen. Jack
son, Thomas Jefferson, and L. S. Grant
were each champiOned. The chair decided
in favor of the speaker who stood up for
Thomas jefferson.
The SOmerciIe Falcon gives a notable
instance of negro enterprise: Three years
ago three colOred men-Manuel Persons,
Moses Persons and Addison L~ewis-bought
a farm about six miles below Somerville,
containing near two hundred acres, for
which the agreed to pay $500 in annual
instalments-one-third of the sum at each
payment. At this date the last cent has
been paid, and they now hold a good title
to the farm. They started with no capital
except five mules. They had TO buy every
thing else, and in addition support their
families. They performed all the work
themselves.

THE McCRARY ~ABsURDITY.

FROM the lineage AIlOuhe' ApIh%
The folly of the bill passed by the House
of Representatives lOOkingt TO the establish
ment of a pro rata tariff for the ~transpOrta-
ton Of freight on all railroads passing from
one State to the other is shown in the pres
ent rates of all-rail freight from. Chicago to
the Atlantic cities. Yesterday, freight on
corn from Chicago, all rail, to New York,
was 37a cents per 100 pounds, and 50 cents
to Baltimore. This is at the rae of q
cents per bushel to New York, and 193
cents to Baltimore. This is the result of
competition established by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. These rates are as low
as those at which grain has been carried by
lake and Erie Canal to New York for sew
eral years, and occur at a season when nav
igatiOn is still closed. There has never been
any complaint of through rates on grain.
What the producer has rebelled against are
the extortionate charges on local freights.
The Congressional bill proposes to interfere
with the rates of through freights, and TO
compel railroads to charge local rates on
these also.

BOLIVAR, Tenn, April 2.-This is one
of the most fOuriShing towns in West Ten
nessee, and is in one of the best counties
(Harieman). There is no more intelligent,
cultivated, refined society any where than
in this place. Most of the inhabitants are
in some D or other related TO or con-
nected with TenneSSee's illustriOus son,
President James X. Polk, and they are
worthy of their distinguished kinsman. At
this time the people here are very much
elated with the hope Of getting the South
western University, to be established under
the auspices of several Synods Of the
Southern Presbyterian Church, located here.
They say they have one of the healthiest
towns in the State, and free from all cpl
denies as well as from the ordinary dis
eases of a malarious climate, and that their
town is situated on the line Of the great
railroad from the lakes at Chicago to the
Gulf. Even now they have one of
the best female schools in the
South under charge Of Rev.
c. Gray, rector of the Episcopal church.
By the way. it may be remarked that there
is a gentleman in this place, Mai. Z. p.
McNeal, who comes as well within the de-
scription given in the AppeaI to which one
of your correspondents the other day allu-
ded, as the Hon. John N. Lea, and who
uses his wealth to do good to others as well
as to benefit himself. lie contributed very
largely to build the Episcopal church in
this place, one of the handsOmeSt church
buildings in the State, and also was equal
ly liberal towards building up the female
school before mentioned, and who has
within the last year or two subscribed So
600 to the Memphis and Knoxville Railroad
Company, which road viii make this ore
of the most fiOurishing towns in West Ten
nessee. 1t may be well said of him that
''his wealth is not only a blessing to its
pOssessor, but to all who come within the
circle of its influence" Such men deserve
and should receive due praise for their wise
liberality. OBSERVER.

THE NEW INSANE ASYLUM.


Meeting of CommissiOners-Purchase
OF Lyons view-EIectiOn OF Arch.
ftrcts, Etc.
Prem the Knoxville Press and Herald, April ?.
Yesterday morning, the Commissioners
of the East TenneSsee Insane Asvlum held
special meeting in this city, the entire
Board being present. The representatives
OF the Lyons heirs being present, the pa
pers connected with the purchase of the
Lyons View property by the commission
ers on behalf of the State, were all sssign-
ed, sealed and delivered The property
now belongs to the State, the amount
$19,5O0, to be paid Jan. 1, 1875, without
interest. Meanwhile the heirs are 10 have
the crops raised on the farm this year, the
State to pay for all damage done to the
crors caused by the building operations.
The commissioners elected Mr.. William
son, of Nashville, architect to the Board.
Mr.. Williamson has a high reputation for
professional skill. The Blind Asylum, in
Nashville, was designed by him, and he is
the architect of the additions and improve
r1ents to the State Insane Asylum. Mr..
Williamson was very highly recommended
go the Board.
DR.. John NJ. Boyd, the physician to the
Board, and Mr.. Williamson, will shortly
make a general visit to the recently erected
Insane Asylums throughout the country,
and they will also attend the national con-
vention of superintendents of Insane Asy-
lumS, to be held in Nashville on the 10th
OF May. The plan for the buildings on
Lyons View, will then be submitted TO the
Board. 1t is considered that the work on
the Asylum will not progress during the
present year beyond the building of the
foundations.
The Commissioners are exceedingly en-
ahusiastic over theirpurchase, unanimously
agreeing that no better adapted site could
possibly have been selected. The require
ments of the law with regard TO adaptabili-
ty are all fulfilled, and numerous requisites
that the law did not cover, are noted at Ly-
On's View.

THE BANK OF EAST TENNESSEE.

FROM the hnOXyille Press and Herald, April 2.
The case of Brownlow & Ross and 9th
e1s vs.. Lyon & Ramsey, Trustee, ETC.,
about the oldest on the Chancery docket,
was decided yesterday, by Alfred Caldwell,
Esq, Special Chancellor. The case came
up upon the exceptions filed by the defend
ants TO the report of James Comfort, Esq,
Special Commissioner.
The report shows that the unliquidated
Indebtedness Of the Bank of East Tennes-
see are something like $4,000, in amount;
a total of about 100000, which would
make a pro rata of 335 per cent ChancellG4
Caldwell, however, decides that S1IJ,000,
or more of the issues Of the bank, were il
legally and improperly filed, and the hold
ers of these bills are therefore precluded
from sharing in the distribution of trust
fund. The issues thus thrown out are
owned 10y a large number If persons. the
average deposits ranging from S. to $50.
Senator Brownlow, however, is the holder,
IS Mr.. Deaderick's memoranda shows. OF
something like $4,000 of the issues thus
rejected,

1t will thus be seenthat at current prices
manufactured cottOns are really very cheap,
making all due allowance for the leSSened
cos. of labor and raw material, and although
it may be considered impolitic to advance
prices during the spring season, it is highly
improbable that the present low figures will
be maintained for any length Of time, and
any change in the market will doubtless be
in an upward direction, as it is obvious
manufacturers nnO long continue pro-
duction at the rates now ruling, which are
so obviously improbable.

The Phil noun Practice.

Death laughs when he sees the weak and fee
bic bled, blistered, salivated, ~opiumized or
griped with violent purgatives. He knows that
under such treatment they cannot long survive.
In direct conflict with this pull down practice i
the principle upon which HOstetter's Stomach
Bitters operate. The effect of this ineOmpar-
able vegetable restorative is TO build up the sys-
TEN and invigOrate the constitution. 1t imparts
appetite and assists digestion, enriehes and
cleanses the blood, regulates and tones the liver
and the bowels, and establishes and perpetuates
a healthy habit of body. By a happy eombina-
ton of vegetable eXtract-tOnic, aperient and
antl-biliOus-with a pure stinulant, these ef-
feets are simultaneously produced. There Is no
prescription of the pharmacOpRia that has the
same scope. You may find among its formulas
seourges for the bowels, stimulants for the stom-
aeh, sedatives for the nerves, but no grand com
%bination medicine that, like Hostetter's Bitters,
Is at once a tonic, an a~perient, a corrective and
an Alternative. mh3l deod1w<

The Trade in Manufactured Cottons.

Cotton goods formed the great focus Of
Attraction, and arrested the almost indi-
vidual attention of the trade. The price
reductions made during the week were
such that shrewd buyers became convinced
that the bottom had really been touched at
last, and agents accumulations were in
some instances distributed in a few hours
at the revised figures, after which they de
clined to accept orders for future delivery
