Immigrants for Tennessee.

grafton Col. j. B. Killebrew says:
No State in the Union is favored
with more natural advantages, a
more genial climate and a greater
variety of soils than Tennessee, and
the indication is, judging from the
very marked increase each month
in the number of Immigrants COM
ing into the State, and the increas-
ing desire manifested by numbers
of others for Information concerning
the States resources, attractions, etc.,
that this fact is beginning TO be
more generally realized throughout
the Northern States, as the report
below will show.
The number of persons whe have
come into the State under the direct
auspices of this bureau during the
month of December was as follows:
From Ohio, 144; from Indiana, 1877 !;
from Pennsylvania, -; from New
York, 81; from Michigan, As; from
Minnesota, IA; from Illinois, Z;
from Missouri +; from Kansas
from Massachusetts / /; from Maine
total All. Of this number 40 fam
lilies have settled in Dickson Co., 10
in Humphreys, 20 in Lawrence, in
Coffee, 5 in Davidson, and the ball
ance scattering.
From my correspondence with
different sections of the State / am
convinced that / learn but the mi
nority of those coming into the State
through the influence of the bureau,
by documents distributed directly
and indirectly. But hope soon to
have arrangements completed by
which information will be furnished
me monthly, from various portions
of the State, showing the number
coming in as above stated.
The correspondence of the Office
steadily increases; there have been
received and answered during the
month over five hundred letters
There are at this time several par
ties prospecting through the State,
looking for suitable locations for col
onies. Some of them wish large
tracts, for the purpose of engaging
in stockraising, while others wish to
establish manufactures. One Of
these parties wishes tract of land
ON which to locate 1000 families.

II is source Of real pleasure to dis
cover that the Central Pacific Company
does not approve Of the recent advance
of freight rates by the Union Pacific.
The following communication from
President STAFFORD, OF the G. P. to
President Dillon. OF tho u. p, ex.
presses the views entertained by the
former Company, with respect to the
action Of the latter affecting the ques.
ton of freights: The proposed
advance in rates from July 29ih. as per
circular issued by your Freight Agent.
Mr. Winning, we consider unwise. sc
recognizes IN yon the same right to con-
troll rates from that side ON freight
coming West that you concetie to us OH
freight from here going East. Int our
idea is that Instead of nm advance in
rates upon the class of goods me mcntioued
n reduction would be better. and we
earnestly recommend that you direct
the withdrawal of the circular. We
think that some otner way may be de-
vised to protect ourselves against the
impositions practiced by shippers"

Tho RAILROAD EreIEAt..

With reference to the recent hundred
per cent. advance on rates of freight
over the Union and Central Pacific
roads. the Gold Hill Ners pertiuently
remarks as follows: "The doubling of
the rates Of freight between San Fran
cisco and New York. simply means an
Increase in the price Of what We eat and
what we wear. 1t is not the producers.
nor the middlepen, nor the retail mer-
chants upon whom this burden will fall.
They will pay the increased rate. of
course, in the first place. but the differ.
ence will Le added to the price OF the
goods so taxed, and eventually the la
borer and mechanic will pay the toll.
The doubling of the rates means that
for every hundred pounds of inerchan-
disc shipped over these roads. the poor
men of the nation, the consumers, will
pay six dollars more than has hitherto
been demanded of them. We gave
these corporations our lands; We en-
dOrsed their bonds; we raised the men
who control them from an almost alb
ject poverty to aflluence and wealth,
aud here is the return which they offer
To our charity. Not satisfied with the
position which we have given them, nt
n moment when men are starving for
bread to eat. and suffering for clothes
TO wear. they deliberately add one hum
drcd per cent. to tax which was al
ready sufficiently large to return them
great profit. Against such facts us
these, with what grace can we nsk an
intelligent and suffering people to listen
to arguments ON the abstract principles
upon which subsidies are granted in
other lands, aud made to benefit the
nation extending them?"

following: About one o'clock yester.
day morning. just after we had gone to
press, there was an alarm of ERE, and
in n few moments afterwards tha whole
town was illuminated with the blaze,
which was caused by the burning of the
building situated on Main street, near
the corner Of Weed, occupied by the
Young America Company rs an Office
and b. IL. l. Shannon, Rssayer. The
members of the Hook and Ladder Com
pany were promptly on the spot. and
aided by the citizens generally did all
in their power to prevent the flames
from spreading, by pulling down por
tions of the burning building and by
wetting with what water was to be had.
the adjoining houses. Fortunately,
scarcely breath OF air was stirring and
the fire was confined to the building in
which il originated, which was entirely
consumed. II there had been even q
moderate breeze stirring, no human
efforts conld have prevented general
cOnAagrntion, for the flames would have
communicated to the Young America
hoisting works, which were but few
yards distant, aud if that building had
caught it is almost certain that the en-
tire business portion Of the town would
have been destroyed. Tho origin Of
the fire is unknown"
