The Tide Turning.

EDITOR OF HERALD AND TRIBUNE -
l wish every editor. at least, in Ten
nessee, could spend an hour or two, just
one morning, in reading the postal card
and letters received by mail that morn>
ing and then remain during the day in our
sanetum and printing Office. and notice
the routine of one days pork, II
these men of the quill did not 60 away
enthuScd, and we did not hear some loud
talk for emigration in the next issue of
their several papers, then We would say
they were more letharyic than wo be.

We will give an account of yesterdays s
work (June .8th.) Arrived at our Office
at6s a. m,commenced reading letters and
postal cards from the late last nights
mail. Soon the mornings mail was
brought up. Worked hard regist eriug
names on our books for, applicants for
documents, and answering such letters us
my circulars would not answer, until 10
a: m. By this time one of my boys had
a supply of envelopes filed with oircu.
lars--ready for me to direct. To show
what the contents Of these envelopes are
| will send you one. You are at liberty
to publish any of them. -u
The day was spent, by me, in al.
ternatiDg between talking Tennessee to
people who came to see me for that pur,
pose, and in directing envelopes and
enclosing circulars. When night came
we had 200 stuffed envelopes, with six or
seven circulars in each, directed, stamped,
and sent to the Office. This routine is
repeated each day, week in and week
out a'.... t,g ....... ....-.
l merely mention these matters to
show the people Of your State and the
South. (for large numbers are going to
Arkansas and the Gulf States,) what a
vide spread determination there is to
change TO a milder climate; and now, as
disappointed thousands are returning
from the west. the tide is turning to the
South. ..l .ri
1t will be an easy matter now, for any
country, with little effort to advertise its
resources, and send me definite descrip.
tions Of lands. and other property for sale
with terms and lowest prices. to attract a
large emigration. Please aOt promptly in
this matter. .r,r 7s. .sc-7 ..r.a rr,t.l
Parties are writing me from all quar-
ters for information, as to the whole range
of industries, and"where is the best place
to locate for my business?" There is a
large class Of stirring, skillful, enterprise
ing men, who, either are not able to pur>
chase lands new, Or wish to wait, before
purchasing, until they can sell here, who
would 50 at once. if they could rent, cul-
tivate on shares, or open dairies, market
gardens, manufactures, ETC., etc., with
little bel lpor encouragement. These men
would soon accumulate property, advance
the price of lands, and become subtaatial
citizens. I'D se'a t.ss...4.',.
Again let me urge immediate action.
Let any man who wishes to sell all or a
part Of bis lands, or has any encourage.
ment to offer, write me a. once--dOn't
wait for large bodies to moue. ,ail ls75 4
We are not prejudiced in favor, Of any
particular section Of Tennessee We
like the Western, Middle and Eastern
parts. FROM what we have learned we
are inclined to think Western Tennessee
has the advantage in point of soil, timber
water and railroad transportation. while
Middle and Eastern Tennessee excel in
minerals, water power and mountain
scenery, All parts are good !; and such is
the variety of climate, and range Of pro.
dactions and industries that every pro-
ference can be satisfied. The range and
variety is greater than in any country Of
the same size on earth. ,''
Now. then, halls Of the papers published
in Tennessee do not yet receive. It is
mainly for the influence that these papers
will exert where ! circulate them, that |
wish them. Many times they serve me
an important purpose when people inquire
about certain section. Packages OF
many Of those papeis are scot me every
week. The leading citizens of Tennessee
are responding nobly to the request in
my letter of May Gath. At the present
rate 1 shall soon have good references
to gire to emigrants that now wish 10 20
to ecery county in that State. Let all
who are willing to aid in this matter
send on their names. The more ore
invites in this matter the more interest
be will find, and the richer returns be
will receive, in a good immigration.
