the building caught fire from the eupola,
in which thers.wers at the time several
thousand pounds of molten iron. The
fire was discovered the moment it
caught in the roof of the building, and
prompt action on the part of the men
engaged in the building and those who
rushed there when the cry of fire was
raised, subdued the flames before much

WEST TEN NESsEE.

Rev. Alexander CLARK, editor Of the
Methodist Recorder, Pittsburgh, who
has recently passed through West
Tennessee, publishes he following
1--WE are SURPRISED that this rich
country between Memphis and the
Tennessee river is not more anXiousIy
sought by immigrants. 1t is as rich
in soil as Central Ohio, abundantly
timbered with the best growths, wa
tered by rapid streams and plenty Of
them, Willie coal and iron ore are
adjacent. 1t is a choice cotton region,
and for fruit of almost every descrip-
ton It IS a surer climate than that
north Of the Ohio. It Is Ohio over
again, with the advantage Of warm
and more even temperature, and must
ultimately rank in population, wealth,
intelligence and all things with the
best Of tie interior states, Lands are
cheap along this line, and all over the
State. From So to $50 per acre will
secure desirable plantations, owing to
improvements. In some seasons the
cotton crop alone will pay the full
! market price Of farm. Fruits, in a
few years; could be made to pay FIVE
times per acre the price Of land pur
chased. To persons in the North
crowded too compactly together, in
city or country, we commend Aiissis-
sippi and Tennessee, as afiording every
indictment To settlers. Homes can
be secured here at lower rates than
vest of the Mississippi, lower even
! than beyond the Missouri; and here
The climate, especially in the more
elevated sections, IS as salubrious as
/ heart could wish, and no grasshoppers
or tornadoes!
"This country welcomes the immi-
grant ThQ. comes to stay. He is
needed. By his coming, and by an
industrious ard patient attention to
the cultivation Of the soil, the state
of Tennessee may be made as central
in culture, progress; and every grace
of. a model commonwealth, as she is
geographically central in the group of

Highly Interesting Information That
Congress may have. if il Likes.
The New Orleans Times recently
published what purported to be ar.
account Of the investigations conduct
ed, during the war, in the Department
of the Gulf, by the commission ap>
pointed by President Lincoln, OF which
Gen. w. F. Smith, now President of
the New York Public Board, was
President. The article affirmed that
such frauds were unearthed and such
high officials incu1pated by the work
of the commission that, had its report
ever been published. Gen. Grant
would not have been President of the
United States, and not one in fifty OF
the claims for captured cotton which
have been fled in Washington would
ever have been heard Of" The artl-
Gle continues: "When Gen. I. S.
Grant was Secretaryof Warad interim,
when Z. M. Stanton was forcibly
elected, one of the first things done,
after formal occupation Of the build
ing, was to hunt up the report of that
commission and burn il" The report
Fof the commission, according to the
Times informant, inculpated Col.
Robinson, Gen. Butler, Gen. n. ?.
Banks and Others in numerous irregu-
larities. 1t is also said to have con-
tanned evidence of the irregularities Of

The General said that daring the war
President Lincoln appointed him, John
T. Brady and aaSther gentleman a
commission to proceed to the Depart
ment Of the Gull and investigate GER
tain alleged abuses in the Federal
service. Fhe greatest corruption was
found to prevail among the very high
est officials. the investiga 'ons im>
| plicated number of officers Of high
rank, and had the repeit ever been
published it would have wrought i'm
! portant changes in the army. It did
not implicate Gems. Grant, Butler or
Banks.
General Smith said he had never
heard that his report had been burned.
/ Congress has called for it two Or three
times, but the War Department has
invariably replied that it was not
! deemed advisable in the interest of
the public service to make the report
public. 1t may have been burned,
and the General said he could easily
imagine that there we're people Of in>
fuence who had a direct interest in
having 1t destroyed But if Congress
wants it now, it can have it, as he has
duplicates Of all the papers and Of
this identical report, which are at the
service Of ahy one authorized to call
fer them. ''It was too important, "
said General Smith, "and lit too
many men for nae rot to defend myself
by keeping copies of all the papers
connected with the report and the
report itself"

I. l.. Harrison, Secretary of the
New York State Agricultural Society,
says short-hGfrn grade steers are made
to weigh 1850 pounds, live weight,
at three-year cid, While common steers
at four>year old, weigh only 1900
pounds, with the same keeping. It
this is true, OF which we have No
doubt, if one-ialf the cattle in the Uni

killed and their places were filled with
one-fourth the numbe' Of short horns,
these would be more value for practI-
cal purposes than now.
