We have had quite number of visit
ors during the. last week, lawyers and
mel chants from the different parts of the
country. 1t has been our pleasure to
mingle and converse with most of these
friends of the days of ante beILuH. Our
pleasure In these reunions has not been
alone that arising from rehearsals of
old incidents and "reminiscences connect
ed with the prosperity of Rogersville
before the war, but mainly, from the
discriminating and judicious criticisms
of the present prospects of Rogersville.
Living here, and seeing the progress of
Improvement each day, we do not note
these as do our friends who occasionally
visit us. We were the more struck by
having our attention called to the sue
cess already attained by our schools.
We have been so accustomed to short
lived school, tat we were hardly aware
of the fact, e & our female school under
the energetic and persevering Iabors of
Rev. A. w. Wilson and his admirable
corps of teachers Is rapidly gaining a
firm foot hold in the public mind. One
of the difficulties in the minds of the
friends of the enterpTiss.zztlssz arising
from the fear that Mr.. Wilson, so long
having the government of boys, would
find it impossible to adopt his bearing
and mode of thought to the teaching of
young ladies-is practically at an end.
We confess that we had not thought of
this. But one who has long known Mr..
Wilson, and has noted closely his pow
er, assures us that Mr.. Wilson bids fair
to achieve as high success in teaching
young ladies as he has in the past, in the
education of young men. If this should
be so, and we have great confidence in
the judgment of our friend, then our fe-
male college is once again on its feet.
During the past week, an opportunity
was afforded for an exhibition of his
power in this line. 1t was made mani
fest, that the man who can govern and
control ~ Dung America" can also lead
the mind and heart of our daughters.
1t may be that in all that constitutes
che education of a girl, Dir. Wilson may
not have made himself perfect, yet we
are assured by many of our visiting and
judicious friends, that no man can go
into the school and not see that Mr..
Wilson can make a girl as well as a boy
think-and this is mHch--yea, il is al
most all of Intellectual training. Then,
the department of the school shows that
the cultivation of the heart is not want

A GREAT BONANZA or MINERAL
WEALTH DISCO TERED At Nc
MTLEANsS STATION.
McM11LAn,s Tenn Feb

McMILLAN's, TENN Feb. Z, 1876.
To the Editor Of the Morristown Gazette i:
In the announcement made in a pre-
vious letter of the discovery of a rich
ledge of iron ore at this place, by Wiley
G. Bailey, Esq, more recent develop
ments go to show that it is an immense
bed of zinc, instead of iron, and the
whole neighborhood is wild with ex-
element Samples have been forwarded
to DR.. Stafford, our able State Geologist,
and to Col J. B. Killebrew, the distin-
gulshed Commissioner of immigration
for the State, who is also an eminent
scientist, and both gentlemen pronounce
it superior to any zinc that has ever be-
fore been found on this continent. Col.
Killebrew will take samples with him to
the Centennial Exhibition at Philadel-
phia 1t is estimated by persons expe-
lienced in the business that this zinc
will be worth several hundred thousand
dollars. Esquire Bailey is overwhelmed
with the many congratulations he is re-
c-iving from his numerous friends in
North Carolina and all parts of East
Tennessee, at his unexpected but well
merited good fortune. 1t is proposed to
found a large stock company and engage
extensively in this business, which will
give employment to many persons ana
fill our section with much needed green
backs. If the expectations of the friends
of this grand enterprise are realized, our
quiet little village will soon be made to
yield to the growing demands of indus
try and swell to the dimensions of city.
Already has Mr.. William G. Bailey, the
present owner of the property surround
ing the Station, engaged the services of
Capt. Vanderhoof, of Knoxville, to make
a survey of the future young city, and
if the excitement continues, there viii
be perfect rush among purchasers for
choice of lots, as geographically
speaking, more advantageous location
for pOpulous city could not well be de-
vised 1t is be unded on the South by
the Holston river, West by Doak' $ creek,
East by CrOft's creek both possessing
water-power quite equal to the two
creeks of Knoxville. Besides zinc, mar
bic of the finest variety and ineXhaust-
ible quantity exists all around this VI
entity. In addition there is large to-
bacco factOry-COL Crofts one mile
distant, which, it is contemplated, Will
be moved to the new city; and gentle
man from the East, with large capital
and extensive machinery, has already
made arrangements to put up an im-
mense Wooden Factory here, where all
kinds of wooden fabrics will be manufac-
tured, and also where hats will be made
on large scale.
To young men of vim, energy and en-
terprise, we say, no longer be deluded
by the advice to "Go W est, but come
to McMillan's, take advantage of the
magnificent future in store for her, and
build up with the growth of the place.
L will keep your readers advised as to
further Developments.

While scientific throughout, it is singu-

It comes right down to the common

noble specimen of American manhood
He has sprung from the people; and,
with many sympathies in common with
the masses, has sought 20 render them a
substantial service in this the great work

TT The various Juries during the
January Term of the Circuit Court for
Hawkins county cost the county four
hundred and fifty dollars. This is a
much smaller sum than is some times re-
quired for a two weeks term. But the
misfortune this time is little was accom-
plished. In the two most important State
trials, and which continued for several
DAYS each, the juries failed to agree, and
had to bc discharged without any result.
So also in two heavy cases in the civil
docket, after spending two days on each,
the iuries came in and announced their
Inability to agree upon verdict
1t seems to Us that good plan for sen

hard feeling and some costs. Law suits
are expensive things, and if our people
would only learn to have fewer of them

to have Circuit and Chancery Courts
both in session here again at the same

Knox CO., Ky, Jan. 26, 1876.
To the Editor of the aIorrirtown Gazette:
| was glad to see in a recent number
of the GAZETTE letter from Old Collar
District. l was pleased that she had one
citizen sufficiently interested in her well
fare to Keep her absent sons posted as to
the local news in her bounds. Was glad
to hear that the noble little steamer Har-
~ Helm was winding her way up the
Holston river, and that the Amer Add
had not folded her wings and gone to
sleep. Regretted, however, to hear that
there had been trouble on Young's creek
among the female sex. Trust the trouble
is over before this, and that all is lovely.
We have had an uncommon winter.
a few weeks ago, the face of nature was
clothed in ice. For week now we have
had continuous rains, and the water
courses are very full. 1t is good time
for lazy hirelings" as they are called.
| would like to engage lot of extra
good hound dogs TO Cousin John, or any
other friend in that vicinity, inasmuch as
there is bill now pending before the
Kentucky legislature to tax each and ev-
cry dog ten dollars, and in addition, to
pay the county court clerk one dollar for
a collar showing the tax is paid, making
eleven dollars per year on each dog. So
come over, w. L. NJ, and get good
pack of fox hounds while the mountain
GERS are in the notion to let them go.
The Good Tenplars in Knox county,
l am proud to say, are doing a great work
of reformation in the morals of the
county, and it is to be hoped that it will
spread throughout the land. 1t is the
best example parents can set for their
children to follow.
The wheat crops are growing fine and
it now looks as though old Winter had
taken his departure and lovely Spring
had come to stay.
Here's greeting to the good people of
Old Collar. May the New Year lind each
of her sons meaning business for the
year, and when they write of her news
let them sign their initials, and do all
they can to honor their county and per-
petuate the GAZETTE. j.. l.. h.

The Ten Per Cent. Law.

The greatest and most inexcusable
outrage inflicted upon the people of
Tennessee by any modern Legislation is
the law allowing money lenders to
charge borrowers ten per cent. per an
mum interest. This infamy has paraly-
zed every industry of the State It's
passage was secured by the money ring
at Nashville and other cities. The law
was intended to benefit the rich and to
Cypress the poor laboring people. Few,
if any farmers, can make even six per
cent. on their farms, although they work
hard and live economically. The con-
sequence is no one with money wishes
to buy land, ard thousands of acres arc
therefore idle, which, if land was more
valuable than money, would annually
produce enormous quantities of grain,
minerals, etc. The people in all the ru-
raj districts of the State should right
now begin to discuss this matter, and
see to il that the candidates for whom
they cast their votes next fall for seats
in the Legislature, shall be men of sense
and men of principle, and that they
shall be friends of the people, rather
than tools of the money rings. They
should demand the immediate repeal of
this infamous law, and of all other laws
on the statue books which favor monop-
Olies, rings, and corporations against
the working people.
The truth is we have not had a Leg
islature in session at Nashville since the
war closed, fit to legislate for any hon.
est people Somebody compared the |
last one to corral of wild asses, and |
it was said to have been a great i'm
provement on its predecessorsl We
hope the people will take these matters
into their own hands for the future, and |
send good men of sound sense to repre- |
sent them-men who can neither be |
''bamboozled" nor bought up by whis
ky rings, railroad rings, bond-hoider's |
rings, nor any other rings. Let the hon
est people have chance 70 run the |
State awhile and we will have better
times.
