began to publish my letters on Tennes-
see' less than eight weeks 90, of awak>
Hnins such an interest in emigration to
that State.
few, at least, Of these letters have
been published in the papers of about
fifteen of the Northern and Eastern
States. The closing Paragraph in each,
invited thu sc who wished other docu>
mcntS relating 70 Tennessee, to address
me at inRapoli-. MINI. The result
has perfectly surprised g. During the
past few weeks, AID up 20 this date
! (Nay 28th) have entered upon my
books the names OF over one thousand
persons scattered over sixteen States,
who wish the entire series f my own
letters, with any other dscu.n ents tn at
would give them such information bout
that State as one who desires to emigrate
would wish to know. | have JUST re-
printed an edition of ten1-sf7ousand of
my letters, and am ssba5sg them of to all
applying.
Every county In Tennessee, that COM
piled with the request to get up, and cir.
culate all over the North, just such stat-
istics, prices of land, inducements to
emigrants, assurance of a cordial wel>
! come, they would wish to know, are
beginning to see the good re suits. The
vide awake citizens of McMnnville, in
Warren county, were the first to move
in this matter. l can now point to sew
eral colonies that will go to that county
| before another winter, and ] should not
sc surprised to see their popula ion
doubled within twelve months. There is
not couuty.in Tennessee but could do
the same thing, with like results. Its
citizens have. repeatedly sent me large
packages of their weekly papers to cir
! cu!ate. They, as veil as any papers
! | receive from Tennessee, are dish ibuted
where they vi do good. They have
also sent me a circular signed by promi-
nent citizens, Southern AMI Northern
people residing there, giving emigrans a
cordial welcome, and all the assurances
they could desire, socially, religiously
and politically; giving me the names of
prominent persons of al calIing9 and
professions to whom | could refer those
wishing to write, to 90 there to look,
or give letters of introduction to, when
they go.
This latter item l 6ud is a matter of
great Importance. Every day, people
call on me, and are writing me, seine.
times from a thousand miles away, en-
quiring: "Can you give me the address
of some clergyman of my denomination
to whom | can write p "Some manufac-
turer or mechanic in my line of busi~
ness p Some reliable Real Estate
Agent, tc? 2 Many say I'm going to
Tennessee, can you give me letters Of
introduction to some good, reliable men,
who will take an interest in giviss the
information l shall need when get
there, and assist me in getting acquaint-
edg'
Now, wish the address Of q number
of such, in every county in Tennessee e.
Please respond at once, as many are
going down this summer to look, and
some will 90 to stay. This is matter
Of vital importance. Remember, too,
the counties that are the most active in
this matter will reap the greatest I'D
yantages.
A etter from a gentleman in Grant,
Smith county, received to>day, after
mentioning other matters Of interest to
emigrants, says: Amy person who
wishes to come to this county to look,
J will take pleasure in taking around to
select home, or even to look at the
country. viii you please answer this
letter. / will give any information that
[ can in regard to my State, and he is
invited to make my house his home
while here, eto?' There are th ousands
Of such men 5cattered over your State.
If [ had their address, with such assnr-
ances; it would hid me immensely.
Ty sending nae the description and
prices of property for e, can show
them to those who i'll go, which may in
fuence them to 60 to such SECTION.
From present indications-anI the
leavcn has just Commenced to Wrk- I
not less than $4,000 to $4,000 emigrantA I
will go from the North to Tennessee be-
fore anoth er winter, They Will so turn
the tide for that State that many more
will follow. TcnnesSeeans will have to
stir tn en,selves, as the Gulf States are
waking up and flooding the North with
pamphlets, circulars and document to
influence emigration to those States.
California, too, has had the inside track,
and is still doing her best. ] especially
want every paper published in Tennes~

these papers have when put in the hands
of those who are making up their minds
where to 90. Those that have distri-
buted have decided many a man in the
selection Of location Send them to me
and the more copies the bets
ter. Daily papers are especially valuable,
AS so many are anxions to settle near the
bus ness centers
