Editor Exchange:
The overwhelming pressure Of cor
respondence and ether Tennessee du-
ties have prete6ted me from acknowl-
edging the receipt of the large pack
age by Express, ofyour paper Of the
10th. l began to distribute them at
once, and they are fast making your
section known to Hundreds WHO Enew
little or nothing of it before. There
is almost an omnibotence In printers
ink. Minneapolis and Minnesota have
worked in the way you Fave cor1mehc-
ed for over fifteen years, till, to-day,
there Is Scarcely city On the globe
that is more widely known than Min
neapolis. A gentleman from Maine,
who came into my Office to-day, to get
some tennessee paPers and documents
and who lately arrived here, said:
"From the time | went aboard the
cars at Portland, until | arrived here,
Iheard Minneapolis more TALKED about
than all other places put together. "
We now prot6se to put Tennessee into
the MOUTHS of the millions.
Fave lust written an article for
the Republican. Banner, Nashville, on
the influence of circulating papers

pcatinp. it here

The following is the letter to the
Banner, referred to above:
Your notice in the Banner of the
Doth, of John. Alleys proposition to
be one Of one hundred to tiake up
purse to distribute the Jasper Herald
widely through the North, escaped MY
notice till this evening. l am glad
you took this matter up.
If the citizens of Tennessee could
see the influence these papers have
when circulated north, they would
food it with the papers of their re-
spective counties, well filled with 4
description of the same. Twill relate
a few instances: The citizens of Milan
and Gibson county sent me, l should
Judge, one thousand copies by express
of the MILAN EXCHANGE of June 10,
with about one page devoted to the
advantages Gibson county affords to
immigration. These papers are d5ing
an immense work for that couhtr.
The Springfield Record is sent me in
larger VI smaller numbers every week,
with like results. Large numbers of
the McNIinnviIle New Era, ionesboro
papers; Paris IntAllfgencer, etc. All
of these counties will reap a rich re-
ward in a large addition Of skill and
capital to their respective communities.
/ receive but two papers from NASH
ville-the Republican Banner and the
Christian Advocate. These / hardly
get a chance to read, unless l put them
ont Of sight, as they are begged away
if left exposed. | do not hesitate the
prediction thai if | had twenty-five
copies a day of your daily they would
return TO your city alone, in the emil
grafton that would be attracted, more
than ten dollars for every single paper
distributed here. Men say to me,
Nashville is much more of a place
than | thought it was" Another, 81
am astonished at its educational advan-
tages." Another, "Well, l want to
settle in or near Nashville, >" etc. What
is said of Nashville may be said Of
other sections:
The tide begins to move: Within

gone down from this State to look,
