The ticket nominated by the readiusteri arc IN
the highest degree satisfactory to the whole
State, and gratifying to her friends beyond her

reference to the State debt question than was
supposed to exist, the fact that forty two mem
bers, elected solely because they we're conserVa
tives, deserted their party and joined With Its
enemies, the Independents and radicals, for no
other reasonable or possible purpose than to
weaken aud disrupt it,is by no means subject
of peasurabIc reflection, and above all, We
should suppose, to be regretted by their friends.
We sincerely hope that the experience OF yes
terday aud tho uneuviable notoriety each ct the
forty two then acquired, by reason of bis un'
natural political association, may induce every
one of them to reuounce their unwholly alliance,
and return at once to the conservative foid.-

amicably adjusted that relating to the

Waste and Want.

Either man must he connected with
poverty all his life, or else he willing
to deny himself some luNuricS, and
save, to lay the base Of independence in
the future. But if Il man dciics the fu-
turc, and spends all he earns, whether
it be one or ten dollars Il day, let him
look for lean and hungry want at some
future time-for it will surely come,
no matter what lie thinks. TO save is
absolutely the only way TO get a solid
fortune; there is 10 other mode. Those
who shut their eyes and ears to
these plain facts will be forever
poor, and for their obstinate rejection
of the truth, mayhap will die in rags
and filth.

Mr.. HERALD: | have been thinking
that Georgetown deserves special men
ton in some good paper, therefore |
make a few remarks about our town
and county immediately surrounding
it, We are II mics northwest OF Cleve-
land, y miles west Of Charleston in
your county; uiwas5ec river runs with
in ) miles Of ~ on the north, cmptying
into the Tennessee river at Blythc's
Ferry, s miles northwest of our town.
The Tennessee river meandcrs in Il
southwcsterly direction 30 miles TO
Chattanooga.
From KincannOn's Ferry on the Hi
wasSee river around by water to ITarri-
son, Tenn, it is about 30 miles, which
bounds us on the north and west with
thousands Of acres of the most fertile
river bottom in cultivation, producing
an average Of 10 to 80 bushels Of corn
to the acre. Every year most of these
bottom lands are only G, 8 and 10 miles
from Georgetown; thus You see we
are surrounded on two sides by the rich
bottom lands Of the Hiwassee and Ten
Etssee rivers,
South of us the Savannah valley
stretches itself lG miles to Ooltewah,
the county site Of James county. This
Is a fine valley Of lands owned by good
industrious farmers. On the southeast
and east of us is Candas Creek valley,
In Bradley county. From the bridge
at Mrs. Lees to where the creek runs
into Hiwassee river, a distance Of some
10 miles. This fine valley can be reach
cd by us in about G miles.
Midway between Georgetwn and
Candas Creek Is q belt of low ridges of
which | may have occasion to speak in
the future; also midway between
Georgetown and Tennessee river ano-
ther belt of ridges to be mentioned
hereafter. These remarks bring me up
to the most important section of our
valley as we call iN. Though in fact
we are on higher ground than any of
the surrounding country except the
Cumberland table lands west of Ten
ncssee river, or the mountains east of
your city. The railroad survey made
from your city to Smiths X Roads
some five years ago demonstrates this
fact. This table land, in which George
town Is about the center, is about two or
three miles In diameter, and is the best
farming lands with which ! am% acquain-
ted-everything being considered-l
speak knowingly. For fear | make this
epistle too long | will quit and call
your farmers attention to this subject
next week, Yours truly, u.
