Tazewen.

We have imbibcd sort OF intirmity fol
that singularly blessed region of Little
Tennessee" including Tazewell and Russell
counties, on the Tennessee border. We
have never seen those counties, yet we think
we know them well from their position and
the geographical features which must natli.
rally be extended through them from New
river to the Kentucky border. The people
there ought to be happy, and to thank God
for being placed in region so attractive
and 50 endowed by nature. In its midst is
" Bnrke's Garden "a sort OF earthly para
disc. Russell Is the same sort Of happy land.
The noble county OF Washington, upon the
base line OF the Virginia boundary, would
seem to be, intellectually speaking, their
foundation. .s......' .-." .sJs
We feel some stimulus of our attachments
for the geography and geology of this
charming quarter By glancing over the
lively correspondence in our agreeable con-
temporary, that Of the C2inch VaNey Netos.
We learn from 1.-The Mouth Of Indian " that
the pursuit of The bee is chosen business
about there. This shows the intensely rural
and pleasant life about the locality. A VEN
cradle patron of the NeeUs, closely watching
The bees that are reported 10. have "raiscd
CAIN" about his house for several days,
said that she did not know what would
{" become OF them in winter if they did
"not go to work SOON" This shows
the philosophy and practical character OF
the venerable man. We rather think it in
dieatise of the disposition of the people,
who know the necessity Of industry and
domestic economy to plenty and content
ment. They learn it from the bees. Down
on 4Ae Mouth OF Indian we take it nobody
is down in the mouth. They are looking
towards promoting their independence and
thrift by improvements and manufactures.
.Woollen manufactures are becoming the
object Of enterprise and industry-and is
not this wise forecast in TazeWell? for it Is
one Of the finest localities in the State for
sbeep-culture. I
The lively correspondence shows that the
people generally are active, crops are good'
and improvements going on. "The Mouth
OF Indian' is spoken OF as charming
place, and the writer expresses surprise
that more people from the ''heat and mala-
ria y of the South had not sought reIiei III
the temperature, shades, clear waters ana
comforts, such Us mutton, butter, miih' ana
bonar of the TaZeWell mountains. lie IS
very tantalizing.
The editorial correspondence announces
that among the visitors there are Mr.. fEERY
and family from Utah. He is native OF
who has become leader III Nor
mondom, The writer thinks were Mr..
PEERY's interest IN Utah less important he
would be content to spend his days in Taze-
we'll: with regard to which there may be
more than one opinion. Most people might
suspect that wife or two more might lead
Mr. PEEEY to be very ready to escape to
Tazewell. >>z.r..,-'.' ..--..'"'s-,..s..
We think that Tazewell and Russell and
all Little Tennessee are to become amongst
the most fourishing sections of Virginia.
How man could exchange it for Mormon-
dom is matter to US unaccountable. It
may be more readily imagined how easily
man would retire from Utah to seek rest
and recuperation in Tazewell.
One thing we must say, and that is that
in such land none should run after the
follies OF s"readlustment," and the delu-
sicns Of that kind so,averse to the ORDER and
virtue that prevail where public and private
honor are cherished, and where are main
tained confidence and trust by the sincere
and honest compliance of men with all their
