Northern Capital in Tennessee

The Southen States Coal, Iron and
Land Company, with capital of 6 100.
900 in { 100 shares. and powerssecured
to increase this capital to E 100000 if
necessary, is formed in Philadelphia to
purchase and develop certain large pro-
perties in Tennessee. Several mineral
properties in the States have been ex-
amined by the agents ofthe promoters.
and the present site has. been fixed
upon as offering advantages not to be
eQualled. The estate is divided into
three parts, viz, the Battle Greek, y
or furnace site; the Cumberland
Mountains" or coal property, and the
French Board, or iron ore lands
The first named is $40 acres in extent,
and is situated on the banks of the
Tennessee close to where a bed of
mountain limestone 200 feet thick has
been proved. The Cumberland prop
erty is $1,000 acres il extent, In this
the coal would be mined entirely by
drift ways aud thus no shafts would be
required. The lowest seam of coal is
400 feet above the bottom of the valley
and under it lies f0ur-foOt bed of clay.
The iron ore lands comprise nearly
ll4,0OO acres, containing deposits of
brown hematite and specular iron ores
yielding from ~ to GO l.er cent of me-
tallic iron. They are free from sui
phur, low in phosphorus, and are
sufficiently pure for the manufacture
of steel. Manganese and lead ores are
found ON the estate, aud all the land
is heavily wooded. There are other
large companies of New York and
English capitalists who have made
large purchases Of mineral lands in
Georgia aud Louisiana, which have
been allowed to remain dormant, a
couple of years. 1t is understood. that
wor k on these and other purchases
will ,soon commence actively, so that
all that part of the country will re-
sound to the hum of industry at no
distant date. ~, ,...f "a

IFproof were still wanting of the
malignant meanuess Of Radiealism aud
its ineurable hatred of the South, it is
abundantly furnished in the lying dis
patches and Speculations to be found
in the columns of the Radical press in
reference to recent collisions between
whites and blacks. And TO give
darker hue to its fendish maliguity
and disregard of justice and truth, the
reader need only bear in mind that
Radical emmisaries are the instigators
of the feuds they profess to deprec1te,
and the authors of the fabulous ac-
counts of. blood aud fury imputed to
the Southern whites who dare defend
their lives and property against the ig-
norant and semi -barbarous hordes
which Radical LEADERS, have turned
loose among US clad in all the attrib-
utcs of citizenship. We could pardon
the dangerous error, were the motives
pure which prompted so gross a fraud
upon free institutions, and upon the
intelligence aud virtue which are the
only safeguards of popular liberty
But the negro owes his citizenship to
no suggestions of enlightened patriot
ism and political justice. The spirit
OF vengeful hate and foul ambition
saw in him fit instrument for
cursing the South and unfolding Rad
icalism, and to make that instrument
as efficient as possible for the work as
signed it, the negro was raised from
the degradation of slavery to political
equality with the most virtuous and
intellectual of a superior race. To
complete the work OF Radical hate,
the negro is held under the party lash
welded by the basest of the party
which placed them as overseers of this
semi-barb arous citizenship. True to
Its instructive baseness, Radicalism
raises howl over every conflict it in
cites in the South If negro be involv-
ed, but is s:udiouslysilent about bloody
mining riots in Pennsylvania and Ku-
klux outrages in Illinois. Such is the
wisdom and virtue of the dominant
faction. 500 olHigu. a... n..1s.

This should stimulate the Democrats
to ceaseless vigilance and determine

the punishment of such voters as well
