AN IRA Ole NEW RAILROADS, AND
GENERAL PRoSPERITY-soeI
ATTRAcTIoNs--PoL
AFFAIRS.

The Chicago Times has q special
correspondent In Knoxville writing
occasionl letters. He speaks as fol-
lows, under date of Jan. %:
The month of January, 1876, is
destined To make an important epoch
in.the history of Marion county.
The railroad project has been pushed
To successful completion. One road
has been built and fully equipped.
second has been contracted Tor an.l
will be built during the summer, and
still another is under consideration,
aud Is now receiving favorable atten-
tion from her people. The result is
that a new impetu. has been crested
for business, the population of the
county Ia rapidly increased by per
manent settlers, and new field lias
been discovered for the profitable
employment Of surplus capital that
has hitherto lain dormant. The
probability Is thar during the year
Knoxville will have railway com.
munication with all the principal
cities east, south, west and north.
The telegraph, too, is one of the val
liable acquisitions, and when its
advantages are fully realized It's Inn
mense influence will also add to her
prosperity.
On the arrival of stranger at this
point the general characteristics OF
the surroundings make n very favor
able Impression on his mind. The
town Is regularly laid out, n public
square In the centre, where stands "a
good and substantial court house,
and the business is confined princi.
paily 10 the buildings around the
square, which are mostly frame.
Many Of these frame structures nre
soon TO be removed and brick build
ings will take their places. The res-
licences are mostly neat and suhsIan-
tial home-like dwellings, surrounded
hy weIl.cared for yards that contaiu
shruhbery, shade trees, and Other
ornamental ilxin's indicative of the
good taste OF the pnssessors. TIL.
streets are wide and kept I'm gu,m
repair, with substantial board side.
walks on either side. Tho country
adjoining In thickly settled and the
farmers come here to dispose of their
grain, cattle and hogs, and do their
trading.
We have the best Of society In
this little city, and of a literary turn
of mind. Several evenings since all
entertainment WIS given In connec-
tlon with q centennial tea party, at
which there was the largest audi
ence ever convened ut me time Ia
the town except on political oeea-
sion.
Speaking OF political affairs re-
minds mo that every thing In
that line IN decidedly quiet
I'm this vicinity, and so far M
my observations go, | am led to In
fer they are not In favor of third
term. Bishop Haven's action In
formally nominating Grant was dis-
approved by the local Msthodist
minister here. and his opinion. cot
umn long, came out in the JOURNAL,
winding up with this conclusion:
THAT the Metheodist Episcopal
church does not retain any Of their
pastors permanently In one place
and their discipline requires rotHiio'i

should apply to the president Of the
