HUMBOLDT, June I6.-I am here stop
ping at one Of the most pleasant and
agreeable hotels in West Tennessee, the
Dunlap house. The eating is very good,
the rooms most comfortable, and the ac-
cOmmodatiOns in every respect very
superior. The morning train from Mem
phis stops here for breakfast at eight
O'Clock. The train which leaves Mem
phis at eleven o'clock in the forenoon
stops here at three o'clock for dinner, or
supper, whichever you may call it, and
so does the train from Mobile. Passen-
gers leaving Memphis for Nashville on
the five o'clock train can get late sup
per here st half-psst nine. There is no
house anywhere whose table is better
suited to please travellers. Our friend
Dunlap knows whist will please, and he
never fails to procure it. The trains on
the Memphis road now run to the
greatest advantage for Memphis, thanks
to the able superintendent, John It.
Flynn. a train leaves here at half-psst
four in the morning and reaches Mem
phis at fOTty-fve minutes past eight,
and returning it leaves Memphis at five
o'clock in the evening and reaches here
st half-past nine. Persons can 90 from
Milan and Humboldt and spend the
whole day in Memphis snd return home
by early bedtime. The morning train
and the evening train both make close
connections with the Nashville train at
Mckenzie. Passengers leaving Mem
phis at five o'clock in the evening
reach Tullahoma, Winchester, Hurri-
cane Springs, Sewanee and Beersheba
twelve hours quicker by this route than
by any other. A train leaves Nashville
at nine o'clock in the evening and
reaches Memphis at forty-fye minutes
past eight the next morning. The train
leaving Memphis at fifty minutes past
three in the morning reaches Nashville
at five o'clock that evening, and the
one leaving Memphis st five o'clock in
the evening reaches Nashville at six
o'clock the next morning. These facts
are given for the benefit Of persons
going to Nashville and the watering
places in Middle Tennessee. The con-
ductors on this road are working very
hard under the new schedule and de-
serve great credit for their attention to
the comforts of passengers. They have
in this place a wooden factory and
Touring mill. The factory is q small one.
but is Of great service, They have five
looms, four small and one large one, one
hundred and eighty spindles, and can
turn out one hundred and fifty yards OF
cloth per day. They employ only ten
hands, but make most excellent goods,
jeans, twee6s, linseys and blankets, all
of which are sold cheap. The crops look
very fine, and the farmers are bUsily en-
gagged cutting wheat, which is excellent
in Haywood, Crockett and Gibson coun-
ties. Humboldt, on account % its rail-
road COnyeniences, has every advantage
as manufacturing town. Much a. men
may say about it this lie one o! the
healthiest towns in West Tennessee. !

the greater will be the benefit to the |
country. The people are becoming hope
full and cheerful, and it is to be earnestly |
desired that they should not forget the .
of last year. Let them con-
tinue to SOW grain, plant orchards and
and cultivate their lands well,
and this may yet be prosperous coun-
