Senator lsham &. llarris-"th no

profound impression, by his speeches, in

The GGrnb erland Plateau.

From the Nashville American, 10Th inst)

From the Nashville American, 18th inst
Commissioner J. b. Killebrcw re-
turned to the city last evening, after an
extended trip through the Cumberland
Plateau and the Rimlunds with DR.. c.
i. Agncw, Of New York. These gen
tIymcu first assembled the mountain at
Sherwood, gong westward to within a
mile Of Winchester. The plateau here
furnishes Il rich black soil and great va.
rirly Of valuable timber. 1t is altogcth.
cr probable that Il numerous colony will
be planted here within few months, if
Il sufficient body Of land can be secured
al reasonable rates. Dr. Agncw was
greatly impressed with the value of the
land and its convenience to market.
From t0wan their course was continued
ON through Tullahoma and McMinn-
vile. Taking hack at McMmville,
they passed up the Spencer road
through one Of the most beautifully pie.
turc>quc regions in the State, where
rapid flowing streams wind in graceful
curves about the swelling heights, and
where fertile valleys and grassy covcs
nestle among the foot hills ON the wes-
tern side of the plateau. DR.. Agnew,
who has four times visited the most ut
iractiyc portions Of Europe, declared
that he had nevcr prsscd through n
more lovely country than that in War
'cn and Franklin counties. The rich
'orniields and vcrdant meadows and
browsing ilocks form picture so invi- |
ing and charming that one has but to
ee it to be impressed with the magnif-
cnt possibilities of the region.

Cen. w. e. Bate.

The Davidson County Democratic
Convention last Thursday was harmo-
NOUS, and most uncXccptiona ble tick
ct was nominated. We observe, too,
that instructions were unanimous for
the nominees to support Gen. VIM. b.
Bate for T.. s. Senator This is first
rate. No man in Tennessee has done
more work for Democracy, and done it
more cheerfully, than Gen. Bate. No
man has been more liberal Of purse.
And no man has been less rewarded.
Gen. Bate is man Of splendid literary
culture, He is, morally and socially,
the peer Of any nan. Tennessee could
not do better, to save her life as a State,
than to send Gen. VIM. b. Bate to the
United States Senate. He is brave,
magnanimous, cultivated, honest, moral
and stands among men as stands the
giant oak amidst acres Of underground.
The Davidson County Republicans
held II convention last Saturday il
Nashville, and it was Il most uproariOus
affair Some of the colorcd delegates
came very near to blows, and a bel; was
imminent, 1t WAS a ridiculous minclinr
of whites and blacks-the first in search
Of Office, the latter in search Of idleness
and social equality. Hon. Horace II.
Harrison, one Of the ablest Republican
leaders in Tennessee, addressed the con
vention The following extract is in
terestng;
lie said that he had heard of great
many Republicans who we're going to
vote for Wilson and reputation, but
when he tried to find them they were
just beyond his reach. The "low-tax"
men had said that the negroes were
slaves when the debt was created and
that they should not assist in paving it,
The negroes had been made citizens,
md in becoming citizens they had taken
upon themselves their part Of the bur-
iens as wall as their share Of the bless
ngs and benefits. As well might for
aigner coming to this country say he
must not be made to pay because he was
l subject Of Emperor William or Queen
Victoria when the debt WAS made.
Although the Republicans of Tenncs-
zee were in the minority, the day was
'oming when this glorious old State
would wheel into line and become one
If the honest Republican States of the
Union. The evidences of this were al.
'cady visible in the disintegration of the
Democratic party.
He did not know which wing of the
Democratic party was the largest. One
wing wanted to settle the debt without
cferring to the people, which was right.
The other wanted to repudiate nearly ,
II the debt. He wanted to have every
yard and district organized, and he wan
ed every Republican vote in the State
united up and brought out. If this
ould be done they would elect the Gov -
rnor and the entire Legislature, and
hat wasn't in any secret circular either.
t the Republicans could elect tide Gov +
rnor and Legislature they would settle q
he debt. and the DamOcrats Would moi
ct into power again for fifty years.

SAD FATE OF AN OLD RAcHE-

bowling in the street car for nine
blocks, says the Galveston Ne,os,
until everybody else in the car
had escaped except bald-headed
old Galvestonian, who rubbed the
top OF his dome Of thought,
scowled, stamped, fumed, and gave
other evidence of being annoyed.

TRAVELLING SAND.-It is a Gu
rious fact not generally known
that at certain point on the Up
per Columbia, close to the waters
edge, the fine sand is continually
travelling up stream in one eter-
nal procession. Talk of the great
army Xerxes on the march-what
was that to the myriad battalions
that pace the marge of the mighty
river? In comparison with these
tiny travellers what are the leaves
of the forest when summer is
green? This sand is being con-
tinually washed ashore, and as the
water falls away with the dearth
of the season it dries, is taken up
by the winds, carried back up
stream, is blow n into the water
md makes another voyage; and
so the work of transportation
back and forth, by land and by
sea, goes on forever and ever.

DEcL1v1TY OF RIvERs.-A very
slight declivity su6ices to give the
running motion to water. Three
inches per mile in a smooth,
straight channel gives velocity of
about three miles an hour. The
Ganges, which gathers the wa
ters of the Himalaya mountains,
the loftiest in the world, is, at J, 300
miles from its mouth, only about
500 feet above the level of the sea,
and to fall these 800 teet in the
long course the water requires
more than q month. The great
river Magdalena in South Ameri-
ca, running for 1000 miles be-
tween two ridges of the Andes; falls
only 500 feet in all that distance ;
above the commencement Of the
1000 miles it is seen descending
in rapids and cataracts from the
mountains. The gigantic Rio de
la Plata has so gentle descent to
the ocean that, in Paraguay, 1900
miles from its mouth, large ships
are seen which have sailed against
the current all the way by the
force of the wind alone-that is to
say, which, on the beautiful in
! clined plane of the stream, have
been gradually lifted by the soft
wind and even against the cur
rent to an elevation greater than
that of our loftiest spires.

ispiece to q book of travels in
Canada, with the resenl blance of
the site to a spot on his Rothesay

of acclimatizing tbe animal. Ae
sent to Canada for beavers, and,
after inclosing the shore Of the
lake in the woods, he let them
loose upon it. The creatures soon
made themselves at home, and
began to build as busily as if they
had renamed in their native for

The PRIME OF LIFE.-Between
the ages Of forty-ive and sixty a
man who has properly regulated
himself may be considered in the
prime oflife. His matured strength
of constitution renders him al
most impervious to an attack of
disease, and experience has given
soundness to his judgment. His
mind is resolute, firm and equal !;
all his functions are in the highest
order; he assumes mastery over
his business; builds up compe-
tence on the foundation be has
laid in early manhood, and passes
through period of life attended
by many qualifications. Having
gone year or two over sixty, he
arrives at a standstill. But ath-
wart this is the viaduct called the
turn of life, which, if crossed in
safety, leads to the valley of "old
age round which the river winds,
and then beyond, without boat or
causeway, TO effect his passage.
The bridge is, however, CONSTRUCTED
of fragile material, and it'depends
how IL is trodden whether it bend
or break. Gout or apoplexy are
also in the vicinity to waylay the
traveller and thrust him from the
pass but let him grid up his loins
and provide himself with a filter
staff, and he may trudge on in
safety and with perfect compo-
sure. To quit metaphor, "the turn
of life" is a turn either in
|
to prolonged walk or into
the grave. The system and
powers having reached the utmost
expansion, now begin either to
close like a flower at sunset or
break down at once. One inju:
dieious stimulant, a single fatal
excitement, may force it beyond
its strength, while a careful sup;
ply of props and the withdrawal
of all that tends to forco a plant
will sustain it in beauty and vigol
until night has entirely set in.
