STILL GOING WEST.
Unprecedented Exodus of the
COlOred Race from Middle
Tennessee--Be Between 1900
and 1000 to leave
Next Month.


About three hundred negroes left
for the west yesterday morning on
the steamer Hillman. This unusu-
al exodus is chiefly the result of the
convention held at Liberty hall in
May, 1875, at which the following
board of emigration was established:
Maury County, d. Frierson; Rob
ertson county, Albert Carr; Sumner
county, C. NJ. johnson: Davidson
county, Nelson Walker. w. A. Size
more, Henry Harding, B. M.Holmes.
Walker and Holmes have, however,
died since their appointment At
the same time an exploring commit
tee was sent to Kansas to investi
gate the field. This committee up
on their return in July, reported
against emigration; but the emigra-
tion board have been quietly at
work, and seem to have their ar
Engagements complete for a general
exodus. About the middle of next
month large number from the sur
rounding counties will meet here
and go in a body. This number
will range from fifteen hundred to
two thousand. The crowd which
left yesterday were mostly from
Davidson county, and were to have
started on the day previous, but
a telegram from Murfrcesboro an
nounced that a number would be
here from that point, so the depart
ure was delayed. The negroes say
they cannot get work here, and
hence go where they can live. The
feeling which was developed in the
convention last May was that they
could have no voice in the politics
of Tennessee, and so desired to PEG.
pie the districts of the West where
they could have the entire contro
Of affairs. The feeling among the
negroes of Nashville is strongly il
favor of the movement, though but
few have at present left from thi.
point. The statement that negroes
cannot get employment here in Ten
nessee, is of course, erroneous
The large majority of those who
are emigrating have employment

The Springfield Republican thinks
the cry 80! poverty from the south
is rather anomalous in view of a
constant succession of good crops.
The cotton now being marketed has
already reached 3,SI3,O 600 bales, and
will probably run up total of
100000 before September LIST.
The exports Of raw cotton to for
eign countries has risen from 2,153,
600 bales in 1875 to 2,64S,OO0 in
1876, the demand showing an unex-
pected elasticity. OF course prices
have been low, but the return on
the whole ought to profit the south"
